i find so much fun in using mods in games. for example, gta iv is a boring game on its own, but if you download a load of mods it becomes so much fun. i mean, sure, it is, but overrated in a good way.

Not at all

I've made Skyrim look ridiculously realistic and made the gameplay 10x better using mods

I will never go back to the vanilla version

another issue mods bring is devs being lazy due to players being able to fix their game for them

no?
if a company get's lazy then their fanbase will definitely react badly to that, even with mods to fix it.
most companies strive to have a game that doesn't have to be modded, including bugs and the such.
in a way, they make games better.

hmm true
but if the mod is good and it truly makes the game good, where does the overrated come from?

True

but that's sometimes WHY the players make mods, because the devs never fix anything or add content to the game. So then it's left to the modding community to do it.

mods don't make good games though

mod support however can make a good game

"but that's sometimes WHY the players make mods, because the devs never fix anything or add content to the game. So then it's left to the modding community to do it."

but they shouldn't have to fix the game

that's the developer's job

@Cat

Exactly, it IS the develeper's job, but the devs either put off updates or just abandon the game all together. Plus, sometimes the players do a better job at it than the devs themselves.

They're a good way to show creativity and give some new fun to a game. Also, isn't it a good way for programmers to learn about designing and whatnot?

Sometimes the players do a better job indeed.

I never said mods were bad

not where I was going

typically games where you get to design levels and stuff work quite good on PC

but I don't think Nintendo ever releases for Nintendo, plus they need they need more Wii U sales anyway
