I agree. Pic related has given me more than a few laughs.
Contra Gender Swap is also fun.

Mods destroy the original vision

Art doesn't need to be """improved""".

>>12394151
People have different definitions of what an "improvement" is

>>12394169
>Original vision
Let me guess, you're a virgin because you're in your 30s or 40s holding out for another virgin?
Developers' vision can suck my nuts.
Most mods suck imo, but some really, really make games better. Speedups that don't change the audio, changing fps from 15 to 60 because you're on a gaming PC, improved resolution when the game's internal resolution can be increased but was capped to a console's spec.
Good stuff.

>>12394170
>gæms are "le art"

if you haven't, for example, beaten ocarina of time in a randomized run, then you haven't beaten ocarina of time by 2026 standards.
mod players have more experience, fun, and a greater connection to the games they play, than any puristfag

Conditionally, yes. Mods can be amazing, or they can be dogshit.

this is the best modern mod/overhaul for a nintendiddler game.
hands down

I played a fallout sex mod over a decade ago where the vault dweller had a ten inch dick and you could fuck tandi into a coma. you don't even have to save her from the raiders either, you can just leave her there.
it kept crashing after that, so i deleted it. haven't been able to find it again

Oh shit, is this the romhack thread?
This one had me literally re-open a stitch from laughter.

Mods are just homebrew rules. You can do them if you want to, but most people will just stick with the vanilla rule set.

Completely worthless.

I only ever play the intended experience. Fan made shit is always fluff at best, but usually irrelevant garbage. Why waste my time when i can play more real games? If you want to be a pretend game dev, go make something original.

>>12398053
That's fine and no one will take that from you. For many years and decades the original consoles and games will work. But over time they will eventually break down and few will bother repairing them or printing new issues of the games.

If Konami had shoved more shaders into SH3 on pc, this could really do well for its year release, but sony had them by the balls to make it as inferior to the fucking PS2 release.

engine level issue sadly though.

I like mods.

>>12394683
explain why

>>12394151
I'm completely fine with any kind of goofy extra mod you want to mess around with but I'm leery of stuff labeled as an objective improvement you should use as the default on a first playthrough especially when installers and whatnot make it the only option. widescreen isn't always better than 4:3 even when you correct blatant jank.

>>12394151
Mods are piracy and take away profits from the developers, you should only purchase sanctioned DLC and in-app purchases.

Mods are for after I've finished the vanilla game and know exactly what I want to adjust.

>>12400108
it's impressive how bad you are at this even though you do it all day long.

I just got off work, opened /vr/ on my phone, saw your posts and replied.
Its my first time posting ITT.
Do you get paid anything for aggressively shilling against mods for 20 year old games?

no, I do agree they give them more life though.

Bit late reply, but played this a couple months ago and loved it. Was really nice seeing all the levels interconnected. I enjoyed the extra stages and thought they were pretty unique, but weren't many shines to get and many were pretty short overall. Awesome mod though, if anyone is ever looking to replay sunshine this is really solid in my opinion.

Just realized Maria looks like troon James
Probably an intentional LGBT subtext by the devs

>Just realized Maria looks like troon James

She's an almost perfect copy of Cameron Diaz, who was in fact a popular woman at the time. In fact, there's many Cameron Diaz's in the games. SH1 literally has two of them.

And the beta design is even more brazen as it's just a 1:1 copy of the real woman. Likely changed because it was in fact too brazen and might lead to issues with using her likeness.

Back then they would just steal designs, music, anything, and get away with it because of how underground gaming was. Now they are not going to get away with it. One reason they hire face models is simlpy so they can prove legally they used this person's likeness, and not the popular celebrity instead.

>>12401285
They look identical
Anyway to expand on my theory that I just came up with
James killed his wife so he could troon out, Maria is his tranny alter ego that gets symbolically killed (oppressed) by pyramid heads, who, being executioners, represent society which is anti-trans (at the time)

Original looks a bit froggy, and this was their first big PS2 game, so there was some mishaps with the modeling. The mod tries to get the in-game model to look like the pre-rendered scenes.

>>12400190
pathetic.
