>If we call our cheat hack a "Quality of Life mod" then no one will care about it trivializing the entire gameIt's crazy how normalized this shit has become.
You don’t genuinely care about this. You’re just starting a problem for your own amusement.
>>12634025Pretty suspicious to instantly reply to the thread with that desu.
>>12634020It depends, does the QoL that "trivialises" the game actually improve the game? Take early JRPGs, they suffer from really poorly optimised grinding (The FF Famicom trilogy is a good example). Does improving upon this trivialise the game because it diverts from what the developers originally intended despite that being part of growing pains in the genre that they likely would've went back and changed if they had known?
>>12634032You’re right. I was hired by the rom hacker to defend him at all times. I’m on his payroll for $83,000 yearly. He has a highly profitable rom hack empire.
>>12634050If every other retro JRPG needs what amount to balance patches for people to enjoy them, then maybe that means they don't actually like those games. Also, "grinding" is a massive bogeyman, it's nowhere near as bad or prevalent as people often claim.
>>12634060>then maybe that means they don't actually like those games.I don't disagree with you, but I meant what if a good game has an element to it that was poorly designed and could be better if it were improved upon by romhackers?
>>12634073Then I’ll make a lazy bait thread about it on /vr/.
all this arguing, even years later, just proves that DK64 hasn't aged well, and that the way they designed around all the character swapping was inherently flawed. having to go find a barrel, which could be very far away from you, just so you can pick up 5 red bananas---or whatever---before you can clear an area, is not fun; maybe barrel hunting could have added an element of strategy to the gameplay, like the item boxes in Resident Evil do, but it doesn't, it's just tedium, more padding for what's already an overly long game.you don't see any QoL mods like this being made for Mario 64 or Starfox, do you?
>>12634103>you don't see any QoL mods like this being made for Mario 64 or Starfox, do you?You see the same tranny mod made for DMC3 and it ruins the game
>>12634103There’s mods to “fix” the Super Mario 64 camera even though there’s nothing wrong with it in the first place.
>>12634020Official re-releases did the whole "let's call cheats QoL" bullshit first. Then this insanity reached romhacking first. The thing is, making glorified gameshark codes hacks is simple and fast and then you can farm upvotes and likes while retards claims it's "the Definitive Way To Play"Again, cheating isn't the problem. The problem is everyone lying to themselves about the cheat not being a cheat and on the contrary being an "enhancement feature" or "a fix". It's amazing how low retro gaming has fallen in just 15-18 years since it started being trendy.
>bad gamers release hacks of Persona 3 that add in direct commands to party members>devs themselves make it official in every rerelease and remaster and remake of Persona 3
>>12634103I beat the game on my Switch recently and had a lot of fun.
>>12634138DMC3 doesn't make you backtrack to the start of the level and switch to gunslinger to unlock a blue orb at the end of the level
>>12634103The romhack is just an instant character swap, right? At least the version that was on my radar. There's no soul to it. The game feels like it was designed to have a Country-style partner-swap where you have a spare character tag along, but they couldn't have it working in time. If you can't implement that, add an upgrade to the Cranky system as a mid/late unlockable that reduces backtracking at the point where you go back to earlier levels with all kongs.
>>12634020Same, but with Note saving on the 360 and Recompiled versions of Banjo Kazooie
>>12634020Everyones main complaint is about the banana colors so why didnt they just make any character able to collect any banana? Thats way better than tag anywhere.
>>12634020Nobody cares about the Nigtendo ShittyFour except white and asian Amerizoomerlenials
The real fix is to get rid of all the kongs except for Donkey, make everything collectible by him, and consolidate the move sets so that he can do everything. Then delete the game and just go play Banjo-Kazooie instead. DK64 should have never been a collectathon, they should have made a traditional stage based beginning to end platformer.
I feel like it's all about ego. Seeing someone be good at or enjoy a game rubs them the wrong way. It was never about “purity”; all these arguments are made in bad faith, and that’s why I hardly ever get involved in these discussions. It’s just pointless.
>>12634776At some point the modifications make the game experience unlike that of a player who experienced it when it was fresh and new, and so someone who has experience with one cannot have a conversation about the game with someone who played the other.I made this post >>12634398 because I got used to everyone online mindlessly modding Persona 3 because someone online said it HAS to be played that way. It totally changes every single fight in the game, the difficulty changes entirely and so does the experience.Same thing with people who mod the timer out of Dead Rising, or mod the weapon durability+ enemy respawning out of System Shock 2, or play any JRPG with fast forward and save states.
>>12634025FippY BippY
>>12634795I love playing the vanilla version to see just how broken the game is. But most of the time, I don't think it's any more “sovful” than the later versions. Besides, not everyone played the original releases. Often, games from other regions were patched. For example, many American versions of Japanese games are updated from the original. As for FF, since 1990 they've implemented fast-forward and mid-battle saves. So I don’t know about that “breaking” anything. Even they knew that was a time-waster, and they didn’t even have the algorithms that track everything we do.

>>12634776This, it's all egotistical bullshit It's a video game. Nobody fucking cares how you play it unless you're trying to speak from a place of authority. If someone who only beat the game button mashing on easy is saying it's mindless slop they should be ignored
>>12634763>DK64 should have never been a collectathon, they should have made a traditional stage based beginning to end platformer.This was literally the intention at first but the N64 is literally INCAPABLE of doing that.Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ7qtqqgTlo
>>12635378the image you posted notes that the team sucked at what they were doing, not that the n64 couldn't handle it.
>>12635378There's no way to do DKC style level design in 3d. They were trying some Crash shit but even that doesn't work because the perspective is too limiting for you to have burst movement. The Wii and Wii U were definitively more than capable of handling it, but they went back to 2d because that's simply what's best for a DK platformer. Guy you're quoting wants dkc4 instead of anything to do with 3d
>>12634020I just finished this game. And yeah I shan't be 100 percenting it. Just too much collecting and swapping. I was playing the orignal cart so no modding.
>>12634020This shit sucks donkey dick>lol what if we changed the game to play entirely differently than it's supposed to playfuck those people manyou're supposed to remember where the collectibles are and plot routes, it's Dandori
>>12635378>third-world reading comprehension
>>12634496I beat both the original and 360 versions. The note saving is better. Fuck u
>>12636841>dandoriI will rape your mouth
>>12637583we don't talk like that here
>>12634103They should have just let every character pick up everything. That would fix this game.
>>12637957you think they never thought of that? retard
>>12637957That's retarded, because then why have different characters.
