You don't like the food? Add a little bit of salt or a bit of pepper and suddenly it tastes better same goes for games.
Dont like the game? Mod this little thing and that little thing and the game's better.

Is there genuinely a counterpoint for allowing mods on every single game?

the best games of all time don't need mods to be the best
it's also not up to me to design a game, that's the role of the developers. if I wanted to make my own game I'd be a dev myself

I'll just inb4 the argument that everyone is going to give you
>i shouldn't have to mod the game for it to be good
And shit on it: it doesn't matter if you have to do a little extra work if the end result is a good video game. It's a console player mentality, ie people who are just used to plug and play without the ability to alter their games in any meaningful way.
Part of it is sour grapes and part of it is simple stupidity. The stupidity either comes in the form of not understanding how to drag and drop files or because they aren't willing to put in even the slightest bit of effort to make their experience better. These are people who aren't even used to using a settings menu.
And the final cope is
>all mods are bad
which is obviously just more sour grapes.

Do consoles not have mods? Can't they plug a console to a pc so you can download mods for it? I never owned a console, I've been on pc since 2000

For the small minority which are usually just model or texture swaps, you have to hack your console to allow custom firmware, usually involving buying third-party devices or soldering / hardmodding which carries a risk of bricking the console. Then you're violating the T&Cs and could get permanently banned from using it if it connects to the internet.

Pretty much only Bethesda games. I hate consoles so much its unreal. Fucking iphones that play games, absolutely useless garbage smudged over with upscaling blur and shitty AA you can't turn off without being locked to 30fps. They're an absolute nightmare in every way imaginable compared to PC. I rant angrily about it every chance I get because I got a series X for my living room and the only offers I get trying to sell it are a tiny fraction of what I paid for it retail. Consoles are radioactive, you can hardly give them away anywhere but the third world.

Imagine playing GTA on console and missing out on being able to play with all of these - and these aren't just model replacements, they're fully functional additional vehicles you can install on top of the base game.

Not just visual mods but there's so many utility mods that add mechanics to games even simple ones. Like for fallout 3 and 4, being able to sprint. Dayz with more world events like live helicopter crashes or bunkers with key cards. Minecraft has total overhaul mods same goes for terraria or new gamemodes for valve games

You're right and I agree.

But that doesn't means that they *CAN'T* be improved by mods though.

Has anyone never used pepper in their life? I tried it once as an adult just a dash of it and I sneeze and cough like mad. I’ve eaten at many restaurants and I don’t think they use pepper either.

Skyrim is a clusterfuck of mod retardation.

Satisfactory has the best mod system I've ever seen. You just install the mod manager and add what you want with the click of a button. That's it.

Same. It's funny when you get made fun of for not liking spicy food, the whole "white people don't season their food" meme comes to mind.

black pepper is in an enormous amount of food, you have most definitely eaten plenty of it

If the dish needs extra salt and pepper it's a bad dish made by a bad cook or you have shit taste like a nigger pputting lawrys on everything because he has no taste.

By this logic there are no bad games, you just have to mod them.
Bad games do not deserve any of your time, especially not the time it takes to mod them. Stop giving it to them.

>Bad games do not deserve any of your time
again, if the end result is a good game then it doesn't matter
do you also reject all dev-made patches? are any and all post-launch updates objectionable?
>well it's different if the devs made it
why?
