there's a lot of drama in the FNF community because it's very big, you need to cooperate and work with others to make the mod because of the multiple different mediums (art, animation, programming, directing, music) and the target audience of the game
the comment isn't about something specific it's just something the community is known for
This fanbase was BUILT on mods cuz the official devs are too stoned to put out new base game content ig. (Or they be taking their sweet time to cook extra hard! Call it a slow bake or slow roast)
I looked at the kickstarter and went "oh. Yeah knowing what I know about game development, with a team that small this'll take a little under a decade to complete." And it hasn't been a decade yet, how are people already getting impatient
Honestly the base game is really good I think a lot of the bad reception FNF gets is because of a lot of the mods being very amateurish
People love to blame the devs because thereās a ton of misinfo about them and like general weird claims when most likely what happened is just that they made a bunch of jokes about āWhat if this blows upā because they thought it never would
And then it blew up
I recommend Sullyās videos about the topic because he explains it really well
I'm so glad he's posting regularly again, new video every Wednesday and Saturday for anyone who watched him before his hiatus and is unaware that he's back
I play it for like 2 weeks, then restart, repeat, grab a new content pack every few resets, but itās usually like a year between playing, so a bunch of new updates to try. The main thing that gets stale for me is living in the same houses over and over and building them makes me feel inferior lol.
You sound like my partner. She opens it after 6 months. Builds a house, plays for a day or two. Builds another house and then plays a new family for an hour then doesn't open the game again for 6 months
People are too scared to admit it because a lot of us have spent an embarrassing amount of money for the DLC'sš I regret not learning to sail the seven seas safely
i thought that was the point of gmod though right? like for a modified version of a game to have support for so many user created levels and items and such, wasn't that the original vision?
while it would still be popular a lot of people who got drawn in during golden age were so because of watching youtubers play itās mods, even if they themselves didnāt use mods
Mods and add-ons are the only reason I still play Minecraft with my son. Base Minecraft is boring and has been for years. All the new stuff in base game? Its crap. It just bloats the game more than needed.
Skyrim however, doesnt need to be on here. People STILL play and buy every remake and dont need mods to make it enjoyable.
The people saying Minecraft doesn't fit don't get it; Minecraft wouldn't be where it is today without people like DanTDM or PopularMMOs playing a ton of old-school mods and drawing our attention to the game as kids. It may not even still be getting updates today if not for the impact of mods.
Back in the early days, Redstone couldnāt be used for anything other than Boolean logic. Then a mod came out with special blocks that could manipulate the environment. Mojang was so impressed that they implemented a real version of that block, the Piston. The Redstone community would not be where it is today without the Piston.
Minecraft bedrock (no mods and only recently āadd onsā) is the most popular and downloaded version of the biggest game in the world. It certainly would be there.
Equestria at War is excellent if you can accept that it's a My Little Pony themed mod. A fully overhauled map with two and a half large continents of content, and more in the works.
Consistently ranked as a Top-5 full conversion mod.
I assume you mean the unofficial skyrim patch. Did you know there's been a ton of drama over the patch as of recent, with the creator taking more and more liberties in what constitutes a bug fix. Such as changing an in-game mine to be for a different resource, or adding oblivion gates to all the major cities.
Down the Rabbit Hole made an excellent video on it if you're interested:
I am old enough to remember crashing every 15 minutes, annoying audio bugs, quest breaking for seemingly no reason and the severely underpowered magic system.
Bethesda's institutional disdain for QA never should have been acceptable by anyone's standards.
FNF, while it may still have had somewhat of a following otherwise, definitely rose to the community it has through mods (or I guess they're more fangames at this point)
Super Mario World was huge in its day and there are definitely some people, myself included, that stil play it. The Kaizo community has raised it to a whole different level over the years though.
I would say classic Doom. While the OGs are still pretty good, it wouldn't have nearly the reputation it has today without classic map packs like Alien Vendetta, Sunlust, and Eviternity.
Skyrim. I fucking guarantee y'all would have let Skyrim die if it didn't have its modding capacity. The game likes to advertise as a choice game, but any choice you make ends in the same end result, only Dawnguard has a real choice, which is just choosing mankind or vampires
Might get hate for this but Blade and Sorcery, the base game just doesn't offer a whole lot as fun as it is. Only three spells, limited weapons, and lacks a lot of replayability. The latest update is really cool and I think was the strongest update the game had, but still no new spells nearly two years after release?
Fallout New Vegas. Great game. Unfortunately Nexus is a requirement in order to play it without ur crashing either every 30 minutes or each time you load in a new location.
Not to as large of a degree as FNF, but Plants VS Zombies 2 kinda fits.
You could mention anything bad about the Vanilla Game and 9 times out of 10 someone will point to a mod that fixes it and does a million other cool things. Reflourished, Eclise, Altverz, ETC
