Mods make the game soulless

Xenoblade HD mod on Dolphin

Mods that add extra content are okay. Mods that change the base game are almost always shit. It's the worst with games that have popular overhaul mods, because that shit gets recommended to people for their first time playing which is stupid. Deus Ex, Morrowind, VtMB, etc.

This seems like obnoxious gatekeeping, especially if the mods actually fix huge problems

I'd recommend Fallout 2's restoration mod to anyone first time, period.

Literally and unironically not a singe game fits this criteria, game is either full of soul vanilla or it's not and no mod will fix this.
There's literally, LITERALLY not a single bad game in the world that's becomes good (and not just bearable/mediocre) with mods

If it's actually just a restoration patch putting unused content back in, fixing bugs, and nothing else, I guess something like that could be okay. I don't know if I would consider adding unused content back in "changing the base game". When I say that, what I mean is a modder attempting to basically rearrange the entire game into what he deems better, and that usually just ends up making it worse.

What did they change in VtMB? I just started playing it and used the mod

Some of the content in restoration patch was in the files (things like voice lines), others were just conceptual things that had to be made. Most of it's fine and fixes things like Sulik's sister quest, which I loved seeing. For some reason, people still think you need to play vanilla Fallout 2 first.

I do have problems with that Deus Ex mod (if it's the one we're talking about on Steam), literally one patch broke hackable sentry turrets.

But I think Deus Ex is pretty good as is and isn't all that buggy - but if it was and Revision fixed those problems, why not?

If you installed the basic version of the Unofficial Patch, it doesn't change too much. If you used the plus version, it makes a lot of changes to Disciplines, weapon locations, changes some quests and level designs, changes dialogue, etc. It's not all bad but I consider it a sidegrade at best in most aspects or a downgrade in others.

Right is literally just the Postal dude

Yeah, the plus version is better used for a second playthrough OR if you understand the changes beforehand. The extra content is nice and the ability to skip the sewer section that we all know and love is a welcome touch on a second playthrough.

Plus they change the dinosaur.

The Combine really like their ferns in this universe.

Because modders think they're artists when in reality they know shitall about 3d art or texturing.

agreed. i hate that visual clarity doesn't seem to be as important to a lot of people now.

What's the conceptual idea of this mod, idiot? Adding a ton of random props that completely clash with the existing maps? Fully modelled vaginas? Ferns, ferns errwhere? Modded graffiti that looks like it was written by a serial killer? Some of the ugliest character models ever seen in a mod?

See now, that looks kinda cool. The Mario 64 one you posted is an aberration and you should feel bad, though. Like, what kind of deranged thought process brought you to believe it looks good? I think you ate one too many tide pods, sport.

I remember when weeb mods used to be the only way to get decent looking characters in Oblivion. I had to put up with uguu~ hair styles, and weird anthro scaly humans instead of Argonians.
Thank god we started getting mods like Oblivion Character Overhaul though.

looks like sharpness was just turned up too high

Every Skyrim mod.

Xcom comes to mind

No, it's a poorly constructed game with some of the worst maps of the era and some weapons that are only cool in concept. Romero only let those shitty, godawful maps happen because they were made by his then wife. It's simply a bad, poorly balanced game that tried to do too much and didn't do much of anything right, the co-op AI companion is the least of its problems.

It adds cuck shit

any kind of "immersive" mod

theres always some kind of bullshit like sprinting tires you just by looking at the dedicated key on the keyboard or getting endgame enemies just outside the starting area

applies especialy to for instance, I think it was SkyRe, when you went to the last area of Bleak Falls Barrow for the dragonstone, which is just behind the claw door, there is one occupied and two unoccupied tombs...but of course there are six times the numbers of draugr. How fucking immersive is just tossing the nord dead on the ground?

VtMB was already max soul. Restoration patch is someone chipping away at it for a decade.

>that character overhaul 2 mod that gets shilled on every Oblivion thread
>gives everyone these same faced, angular design clearly made by a weeb
Literally just embrace the potato. Skyrim exists if you want to spend 150 hours modding for a 15 minute wank to weird shiny doll people getting fucked by dogs.

>Right: Distinct and charming abstract artstyle, easily stands out as its own unique piece
i see a shitload of bad drawings that look similar. not advocating for realism but ironically modding all these old games is erasing some of their unique looks.

Any game with a mod that enables multiplayer. Instant playability increase, even if the game is shit. Now the shit is a social experience and you can have loads of fun at the game's expense.

>install the FCOM superpack for Oblivion because I was a lazy fuck who wanted all the mods already put together for me
>had a ton of "realism" bloat tacked on to it

Holy fuck why are realism mods even a thing? To an extent, I get it but why the fuck do I want to stop every 30 minutes to watch my character take a shit in an outhouse or bathe in a bucket?

>fixing the typo in the code for colonial marines

OCO2 certainly did go overboard with the designs, but I thought it looked nice. Either way, there's still OCO1. It doesn't change the NPCs nearly as much but still manages to look nice.

Doom is also a prime example of HD texture projects more than not looking worse on games that don't benefit from it, and even 3D model replacements generally look bad too.

I'll probably give Brutal Doom a mention, partially because its map enhancement script is equivalent of putting trees everywhere in Whiterun (although neat on a technical viewpoint) and did a really ugly job with Plutonia at one stage, but more that the mod itself is just really bloated at this point. Complex Doom deserves a mention too for something with so little original content, but even the creator of that thinks that the shitty add-ons people on Zandronum use all the time are hot garbage.

It's when you get fully drawn into the world the game offers you. Arcanum, as an example, kind of sucks on a lot of standpoints but the setting, acting and sombre string quartet do a magnificent job of immersing you.
That's soul. It overcomes jank and creates what is usually called a 'cult classic'.

No, not that one.

Fair enough and based. Those Punisher mods are indeed autistic.

VtMB needs patching just to work. My first playthrough kept crashing after my character recovered the Ankharan Sarcophagus from the Giovanni Mansion.

Ignoring the retarded graffiti in this mod, and the

> FULLY

memes, it's actually pretty impressive. Half Life 2 should be played as it was released for the first time since it's basically a snapshot of 2004 game design, but for a second runthrough (or a "Fuck I haven't played that game in 15 years, I should fire it up again" runthough) it's definitely worth checking the mod out.

Just turn off all of the desu kawaii desu breen models and the retarded "It's Alyx but she's wearing nothing but a thong, a tanktop, and 6" shoulderpads and has Adriana Lima's face" models and you'll be fine.

BRIDGES

I don't really consider patches to get the game working and fix bugs as "mods". It's when they start altering gameplay, levels, etc. that they usually make the game worse.

Not trying to imply Doom isn't soulful vanilla, but playing that mod was like the best of both of my forms of childhood nostalgia coming together like peanut butter and jelly. I get the atmosphere of 3D platformers I grew up loving, and the shooter mechanics of PC games I grew up loving rolled into one package. Wish the higher difficulties above normal didn't do that stupid "we didn't add more enemies we just made enemies tankier" bullshit, normal difficulty is the most enjoyable even if you usually like to UV-Max.

Basically, soul is when you can tell as you play a game that the people who made the game actually cared about a project and didn't have to bang it out focus tested and factory line style. Soul is also when there was a clear, unique vision of what the developers wanted a project to be, and they usually achieve it in spite of budgetary constraints or time constraints.

It's more something you can feel when you play a game than something you can define in text though, I'm giving you a sort of simplified wishy washy version of the answer, here. I'll also say it's subjective, as usually a game defined as having a "soul" is defined when people feel something from playing it.

Underbaked technology combined with piss-poor leadership and the defense making good use of terrain. The initial canon salvos didn't do anything against the Anglo-Portuguese forces and the Anglo-Portuguese forces set up a trench network that lead the enemy army into positions that made them vulnerable to bowmen fire. I might be thinking of another battle because the Wikipedia box doesn't mention the defense having cavalry, but I remember reading most of the casualties were caused by the Portuguese cavalry charging on the routing Franco-Castilian army. It's the Battle of Aljubarrota if you want to read more about this.

How about keeping one boob, but having the other one cut, or with a cybermastectomy? To be honest, the creepiest part is the cyber skull full of blood. The new model gives her a scared look, gives her some kind of human emotion the original model just doesn't convey.

It's amazing. Command and Conquer FMVs have never looked as good as they have.

One of the few limitations are PS1 era cinematics, where the compression is too much. RE3's cinematic looks terrible in 4k, but RE2's opening cinematic looks great upscaled.

Because the model isn't changed much compared to the original. Are her feet augmented, by the way?

Also AI upscaling makes me feel bad for the RE4 HD project guys, who had to painstakingly go from texture to texture and do each individual one by hand.

RE4HD isn't upscaled textures, they're remade.

Well the end result is trying to make them look better in HD. RE4's texture problem was the original low resolution sources.

Unsurprisingly, Duke Nukem 3D got its fair share of modding efforts as well. The open-sourced engine was ported to more modern platforms and got some lighting effects and more advanced rendering stuff applied to it.

Too bad the big showcase "high resolution pack" mod looked like fucking dogshit and ran like it too. EDuke32 will effortlessly nuke even modern gaming PCs running shit that would've been embarrassing 15 years ago.

There's nothing autistic about it. It's just less arcadey.

the end result is literally them going to the same places where capcom got the textures and capturing them with a HD camera, they arent trying to make them look better in HD they are just taking the exact same photos of the exact same textures

And AI upscaling makes it easy

but he isnt upscaling it with AI you gorilla nigger

>I really hope you can port over the original voice acting instead but I doubt it
>but I doubt it
You're a dope. That would be one of the easiest things to change, and it's an open secret that the devs expect almost everyone to do exactly that anway.

AI upscaling often introduces artifacts, especially on things such as UI elements

Go look at the Nintendo 64 "REVIVED" packs, there's a lot of great bits but some textures have literally no dfference and some are just noisy messes

How?
Sky looks like shit and mario looks like a bootleg
Some textures looks fine but overall it's a fucking mess

That's his fault for not waiting

Literally none

It's different and therefore it's ruined

I absolutely hate when modders think they know better than the creators of how characters should look, I'm not talking about higher quality models or textures, trying to create an HD version of character, I'm talking about when they change the features of their face, the type of hair they have and even the clothes.
Where do these guys get the gall to do this shit, that they know better?

Morrowind's ESRGAN mod doesn't look that good. A lot of the textures are compressed too much and end up looking terribly noisy, like the one you posted. Also the faces are poor looking since they're pretty stylized and I'm assuming the AI doesn't know what to do with them.

You've deified game developers and lowpay art staff. People who make games aren't gods, they humans. Many of the most prolific modders are these same people working on a project they're passionate about rather than the one that gets them money.

I replied to the wrong post. My mistake.

>implying that everyone is equally capable of artistic creation
Back to your grave Marx.

It could. But I still think the E3 shaders make the game look better. The grimier visuals in Vanilla make the game seem too much like a modern warfare game in my opinion and doesn't really give off that desert aesthetic. It could just be me though.

I like this one better.

Attached: paul deus ex lowres.png (638x467, 78K)

>they don't work as well with the lighting
Yeah I think I see it. I think fixing the skin and hair texture and making it a tad more consistent could fix that. There's also the fact the backgrounds aren't as stylised, maybe if they make it more stylised it could work.

I still don't get the hate for the visual design by everyone else considering Mega Man Legends uses it and is pretty much praised for it. FFIX also used something similar but without the cel-shaded look.

holy cringe

Someone has to make a tool that ports over all the voice acting and replaces the mod voice acting, which is feasible but someone actually has to build the tool which will take time to make sure it replaces each voice correctly. I'm not saying they won't, I'm saying you shouldn't be so sure someone will make a tool for it.

Wasn't JC's vision augmented?

This only works if you mod a game to add new content though. Editing the base game is removing the developer's soul.

Yes they are humans, the humans that made those characters.
It's like trying to tell a writer of a book how his characters should have behaved or how the story should have played out, you can have that opinion but it doesn't mean it's worth a shit.
You are also implying that they can't be passionate and the modders are at least as qualified as the actual game devs, that's a lot of unproven assumptions you have there.
It's clear you yourself have never really created anything of your own.

>Yes they are humans, the humans that made those characters.
>It's like trying to tell a writer
No because a team is comprised of multiple people with their own interpretation and the writer is a singular person with a singular vision. They are not the same thing.

The person who conceptualizes a character is often a different person from the person who designs how the character looks in 2D on paper and is often a different person from the person who takes that 2D design and makes it into a 3d model. Each step in that chain is subject to their own interpretation of the character.. Sometimes that last step is the one that failed and then a modder, who themselves is a talented 3d modeler, can step in, look at how the 2D artist who designed the character wanted that character to look and do a better than the 3d modeler who officially translated that design into the game.

Kaze has the source code.

No one is that good at hacking.

Art is subjective but you can judge it by the response you get from people and you can also get some kind of consensus to judge which is better art.
Otherwise judging something like a film better than another would be impossible but yet film has fairly clear separations between the skilled and unskilled.
It's not about whether something is art but if something is better than the art they are replacing, it's one thing to add your own creation into the world but they are not simply adding a creation, they are adding a direct comparison to someone else's art.
It's an issue of the quality of the art and how it compares to the original.
That's what determining the quality of a mod is about.

You are being way to literal about the writer analogy, on purpose too.
That group of people, that synergy, creates a unique vision that cannot exist outside of that dynamic, remove one part of it and the project changes, it becomes something else, it is ultimately one creative entity.
For someone that was not part of that dynamic to try to "improve" that work is baseless, they have no idea what the creators were working towards.
Trying to claim authority of any kind over another's creation is preposterous.

I'm not claiming shitty art isn't art, I'm saying it's shitty.

You don't realize that by modifying it the person makes it his own creation that is (to a certain degree) removed from what was originally made

It unironically looks good

im having alot of fun with it so far
gekokujo daimyo edition adds alot of quality of life improvements since it has some submods merged with it
plus getting samurai gunners and mowing people down last samurai style is insanely fun

Zeeky boogy doog

I'm gonna have to disagree with that one, chief.

That drawing just looks like shit, why have that when literally any other art would look better without actually taking away from any of the interactions at all

One of the few cases where I'll agree that the original looks way better than the mod.

>mod author is shilling his mod with reverse psychology
what is so complicated about the post that you don't understand? You don't need to be an old fag to understand what user was saying. It's a well known shill tactic on image boards for a game developer/ and paid shills to create a "hate" thread in order to get attention for their games. It's also true or mod authors.

All games are inherently soulless because video games aren't art.

>he likes the color filter in the fallout games
it tries too hard to give it a gritty feel when the aesthetic of the games already gives it that, and undermines the game's design

video games aren't art but they contain art

>just make it look rougher bro
I wish I never tried to add any graphical shit to morrowind, fucked my save up and wasn't worth it. Even though it's repaired I get error messages from time to time. Shit sucks.

You really are incredibly disingenuous, that guy is 100% right and I don't think I will ever understand people with your retarded mindset.

Not so much a mod, but upscaling Vagrant Story in an emulator is about as soulful as it gets

I never said he shouldn't have the right. Only that he shouldn't do what he did.

3D modeling like most art has objective standards that you can with authority make objective improvements with. If a mesh has uses more polygons than it needs to form a joint that can be fixed (see ), if the modeler didn't know how to translate a figure into a 3D model properly that can be improved, if one artist poorly set up the UV so it improperly displays a texture another artist worked on this too can be improved (see pic). Most games have design works that you can look up to give you context for what that 3D modeler was working with when that asset was generated. There is nothing sacred about a game's creation it's just people doing work for money, if anything modding is a more purely artistic endeavor because it is done out entirely out of passion.
