i want to play GTA IV really bad, but it's just such a pain in the ass to get it set up and it might take several hours of troubleshooting and trying to install mods only for it to still not work at all. i really don't know if it's a can of worms i'm ready to open yet.
i was also thinking of doing STALKER SoC, but same story there, i read the readme file for the Zone Reclamation Project and yawned. i don't give a fuck about your 15 step process bitch! bitch!
you know something i've always wondered is WHY DON'T THESE RETARDS PUT PRE-PATCHED, PRE-MODDED SHIT UP ON TORRENT SITES?
what the fuck? i remember new english patches coming out for shin megami tensei games coming out, and instead of giving me a pre-patched ROM, i have to go get some software and patch it myself, are you kidding me dude? just put the pre-patched shit up in the first place.
you know what i'll do instead of jumping through hoops like some animal? i'll just not fucking play it. ahahaha seriously. if i have to do more than 15 minutes of installation, if i have to watch youtube guides or whatever, i'm not playing it!
>"hey dude i got this list of MUST HAVE mods!"
oh yeah? zip em up for me dude, i'm ready to have a go.
>"no dude, you have to go to 17 different websites and install them yourself. ETA 6 hours. oh by the way, you have to get this specific version of the game. yeahh, so you have to take your file of the game, install the official update from the official site, then, install this fan update that brings it to version .9, then install this complete overhaul update. then you can start installing all the mods on my list."
how about instead of having me do all that shit you just upload it pre-patched and pre-modded and ready to go? why are you having people download useless versions of the game?
>"WTF DUDE GO BACK TO CONSOLE YOU'RE SO LAZY JESUS. btw there's a 10% chance that even after all that work that the game might just refuse to run if you're on windows 7 or 10."
this "strawman" is unironically the current state of Battle for Middle Earth 2 Age of the Ring mod.
oh, wait.

LOL as of 20 days ago they actually used their brains and uploaded a pre-patched, pre-modded version of the game!
this is perfect and exactly what I had hoped for. i'm really glad I decided to make this thread because it prompted me to look into this.
NOW, FINALLY, i can play Battle for Middle Earth 2 without a 25 step, 4 hour long process of trial and error.
i'm in a really good mood now.
BUT, HEY, just because this one game did it right (finally after years of being retarded) doesn't mean there isn't THOUSANDS exactly like it.

cataclysm: dark days ahead and dungeon crawl: stone soup both had their development teams taken over by trannies who added politicized content, or removed/sabotaged existing and upcoming content.
several forums and /rlg/ complain about this.
they are told "if you dislike it, then go into the code and make your own custom build of the game that returns it to a state that isn't horrible."
and some of them allegedly have.
do they share it? no, of course not. because if you want to play a PC game, you have to jump through hoops like a performing animal.

all these programs to trick the disc tray into thinking something's in it. ahahhahaa. as if my computer doesn't have enough bloatware. if i have to download a program to download a game, i'm playing something else.
there's like 30 different versions of MAME and of course every single ROM has to be specifically tailored for that version, because of course it can't be so easy as just going and downloading a game and playing it. of course not.
so i just plain don't play arcade games.
there are a couple pre-compiled ROM packs for MAME that are guaranteed to work, but they're always missing something i want to play so i get pissed off and uninstall.

TONS of older steam games require lots of set up or don't work at all.
empire at war gold edition and swat 2 immediately come to mind.
GTA IV's steam edition still requires just as much set up as pirating it if you're on Win 10 or want to play with mods.
and i'm playing Postal 2 right now and i'm having crashes and bugs constantly.
the only games that aren't enormous pains in the ass are brand new ones, and as you probably know, they all SUCK!

oh btw, actually buying STALKER SoC from steam requires more set up than pirating it. ahahahah. mods have extra set up steps if you're using the steam version.
Battle for Middle Earth 2 can't be purchased anywhere which is part of why it's such a pain in the ass i think.

are you like those guys that are actually happy to be employed and enjoy doing menial tasks? sorry but i don't enjoy wasting 4 hours on effectively nothing. i saw a post from a guy once who spent 5 entire days trying to get STALKER SoC to run well with his mods.
do you know what could have circumvented that issue? people uploading a version of the game that's already pre-patched and pre-modded.
just ask yourself why the fuck they're having us download useless versions of the game everywhere? why? they enjoy making us waste our time?

hey let's not get our wires crossed here.
THIS readme:
HOW TO USE
1. Launch Postal2
2. Go to NewGame → Workshop…
3. Select "Mods" tab and double click "ED Extra Weapons" to add this mod
4. Press "Start" button to start game!
5. You have an item in your inventory with a ED icon. Press ENTER to use it
is a whole lot fucking different than THIS ONE:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-horse-lords-a-total-modification-for-bfme/tutorials/installing-age-of-the-ring-and-common-issues
fuck that shit.
and there's zero excuse for it.
AND no guarantee it'll even work. AOTR has so many issues they made a discord server just for Q&A support. i checked it out for a moment and there's dudes in there troubleshooting for entire weeks.

Maybe find a different hobby or pay for one of those plug and play pseudo consoles like the nintendo mini.

Blade Runner is a recent example, before scummvm you had to sacrifice a virgin succubi on a full moon in an arcane ritual to get it to run

Really? GTA IV isn't that hard to setup. It usually takes me an hour to download the game from a torrent, unpack, and install the game. Are you using Fitgirl repack?

Man, some of these replies are so fucking cancerous. What is this place supposed to be, /v/? Seriously, just fuck you people.
Anyway, I understand your pain OP. This is exactly the reason why I haven't played any of the more recent Fallout/Elder Scrolls games, at least since New Vegas was released, because the amount of mods it takes to just get a semi-decent experience is just through the roof and obscene, which has perpetually seemed to keep me at bay from ever even playing them. Stuff like The Witcher 3, or any other mod heavy game, is pretty much the same story.
If it wasn't for websites like PCGamingWiki being around providing a, most of the time, fairly simple means to sort the technical issues of most games, whether they be old or new, I'd have a lot less kind things to say about PC gaming.
>i was also thinking of doing STALKER SoC, but same story there, i read the readme file for the Zone Reclamation Project and yawned.
The self-defeating thing about STALKER: SoC for me was that I originally started with a modded version of the game for my first playthrough (OGSE was the name of the mod), which added a ton of random shit, most of which was buggy as hell and a lot stuff that was simply up its own ass (like esoteric quests and such that were a pain to deal with, assuming they weren't just flat-out broken). Anyway, that shit fucking mod pretty much ruined the entire game for me and about 85% though the game I dropped SoC for about a year until I eventually came back to it and decided to bite the bullet and start over fresh with only a couple bug fix/graphical improvement mods installed and, I have to say, I enjoyed the game way, WAY more.
Served as a lesson to me that sometimes mods can actually do more harm than good and that it's usually a pretty bad idea to begin a game with buggy mods that radically alter/change certain aspects of said game, without an original, mostly vanilla playthrough to contrast it with.
For what it's worth though, my first playthrough of Deus Ex was played using the GMDX mod and I highly enjoyed my time with that, even though it changed/improved several things about the game, so it can be hard to say how far one should go with mods to get the best experience, even for a first time playthrough.
>WHY DON'T THESE PEOPLE PUT PRE-PATCHED, PRE-MODDED SHIT UP ON TORRENT SITES?
Yeah, I've often wished for that as well. A repack of Morrowind, New Vegas or Skyrim with all the most 'essential' mods would be fucking fantastic, I must say.

I'll agree that the OP was a tad obnoxious, yet you still have multiple people in this thread casting the first stone and shitting on him for being some dumb, self-entitled baby simply for the supposed "crime" of not wanting to jump through a bunch of needless hoops in regards to the sometimes massive hassle involved in setting up a bunch of mods and potentially having to deal with the additional migraine inducing hassle of needing to troubleshoot the buggier ones.
Having to deal with technical problems in older games, or having to manage a bunch of buggy mods that don't play nice with each other, isn't fun. Having a game that won't even boot after applying supposed "fixes" isn't fun. In fact, it's often a huge pain in the ass. Again, I'll admit that the OP is pretty crude and impatient sounding in describing all this, but so what? This sort of shit sucks. Might as well not beat around the bush about it. I for one actually appreciate the bluntness, since I've sometimes felt the same kind of annoyed frustration when it comes to certain games that are basically hell to get working correctly and how great it'd be if somebody could provide a fully encompassing repack of these games. Somewhat similar to how certain titles on GoG come with pre-included fan fixes, so you don't have to deal with the hassle of grappling with them yourself.

before emuparadise got targeted my nintendo I had a good time there. There were a few hoops of trying to get the right emulator, get it to run, get the game you want, and get that to run. By the end of all that I am to tired trying to remap the controls in order to get that old console gaming feel. But some of those games did work fine. Didn't have luck with 3D games like Shadow of the Colussus, but most of them could run on an old XP with no internet connection. Some emulators could even work in linux through wine. But with all the spyware Windows 7 and up want to install on your computer, I've given up trying these games, not to mention I am too poor to afford an legit Windows 7 OS, let alone a system that could run it without bricking. Hell even some GOG games would fail on me because I wasn't updated to Windows server pack 3.
Luckily I got a pirated version of Oblivion off isohunt before that got shut down, and I was surprised I could get it to install and run on my computer. But these fucking linux updates always find ways to fuck over my dual boot systems and I have to troubleshoot everything from scratch.

also Re: fallout new vegas, that's one of the few games that I knew I liked enough to actually bother getting started on despite the big barrier of entry (used to play it on PS3). it took about 5 hours and two youtube guides to get it into a playable state. it still has major issues and conflicting mods and sometimes i'm too scared/pissed off to touch it, but it's halfway playable.
i just checked piratebay and, again, not a single pre-patched, pre-modded version of the game is up there.
new vegas is A MILLION people's favorite game of all time, yet not a single person took the time to get a functional version up on piratebay.
why do they torture us like this? i don't understand.

Yeah, I don't actually use mods often. The vanilla version is usually good enough and the mods I used is minor enough to not break the game. Big and popular enough mods usually has extensive troubleshooting coverage though. Besides there is usually no one definitive sets of mods for people to use and even if there is, it isn't worth the hosting and potential takedowns to provide a download link.

Actually, you don't even need to change the extension. Just tell your emulator to open these files. It won't care about extensions.

I've never played games with mods. Usually i torrent something and it just works straight away. The only issue that is fucking windows - since i only use it for games it has to fucking update itself every fucking time
there was a free giveaway and i got a copy of Persona 4 Golden. im one of the lucky few who it just works right out of the box, but it's looking like others aren't so lucky and are having to download shady .exe files to try to repair it haha. i hate PC gaming, i honestly really do. it's a gamble. every game you buy and download is a gamble as to whether or not it will work, and then, a gamble as to whether or not "fixes" will work after that.
im trying to play Darkest Dungeon and it crashes on every other loading screen and has audio loop issues.

Let me guess, you spent all that on a computer but you pirate games and complain that sometimes the downloads are shady, the installer doesn't work right, parts of the game were corrupted, or that the version you got was a unoptimized mess.
99% of the games I get through steam and similar services quite literally just work even on my mid budget "gaming" laptop.
The only time I ever really have to deal when the shit you are describing is when I am pirating games. When pirating dealling with all that bullshit is the cost of getting the game for free. You ain't dealing with incentivized professionals. They have no reason nor incentive to hand hold you, make things easy, or even not to do something malicious. Especially torrents. I always treat torrents with the highest level of suspicion and scrutiny. Some of the nastiest attacks and malware I ever had to deal with were from torrents.
At least with direct downloads they are just link shilling and the like to get their payoff. So they have less of a reason to mess with you other then mild inconveniences.
With actual payed option you pay money and you get premium service. Plain and simple. No fuss, few if any problems, and if you do end up with a problem there is someone who is actually payed to personally take time out of their life to help fix it.

You ain't dealing with incentivized professionals. They have no reason nor incentive to hand hold you, make things easy, or even not to do something malicious. Especially torrents. I always treat torrents with the highest level of suspicion and scrutiny. Some of the nastiest attacks and malware I ever had to deal with were from torrents.
At least with direct downloads they are just link shilling and the like to get their payoff. So they have less of a reason to mess with you other then mild inconveniences.
With actual payed option you pay money and you get premium service. Plain and simple. No fuss, few if any problems, and if you do end up with a problem there is someone who is actually payed to personally take time out of their life to help fix it.

>i want to play GTA IV really bad, but it's just such a pain in the ass to get it set up and it might take several hours of troubleshooting
I got it off piratebay, this is the intro, probably the uploader's name.
there was only one problem (cont)

bucket end graphic settings, unable to increase them, but I found the fix.

took you one year to get around to playing it? you might as well have grabbed it from steam when it was on sale. anyway, this is a pretty bad port, I wouldn't be shocked if it ran worse than the gta 5.

It's insane especially for those of us with shit internet. I barely have any games on my 1tb ssd and it's already over half full.

I would like to play Daggerfall (Unity) but all the mods are hosted on some site that requires a login. I can't believe nobody has made a "best mods" compilation and hosted it on an open site.
Yes, I don't install games that are over 20 gigs. No fucking way.
ZRP doesn't have such thing. You use the graphical tool to enable fixes and extras you want or not. And even that is not necessary.

And those 'must-have' mod packs exist, but nobody will download them, because they think freely available mods spread with p2p must be a bunch of viruses.
There are some exceptions, like the few large mods for SHOC and Lost Alpha and standalone OGSE was first distributed with torrent.

It does run worse than GTA5. Then again it has graphical features which are not found in 5 and which are very taxing.
Exact same thing as with the previous engine when ported to PC. GTA3 worked like shit, but Vice City and Manhunt ran like a dream and same for SA with the exact same hardware.

if you assemble furniture you're a retard. you can buy preowned furniture that's already assembled from thousands of people and thrift stores in your area.

If you really wanted to play those games you would go through the hoops. For example I love playing modded Skyrim, but installing all the mods I need to make the game playable can take an entire day, maybe even more. But it's so worth it once you finally feel that the game is perfect.

I liked oblivion plain, though I liked it even more with mods, and EVEN MORE when I started making my own mods.
So much so that despite downloading skyrim I haven't got around to playing it yet.

I drink while playing a comfy game
I feel there is this weird timeline, circa late 90s to mid 2000s where most games are basically unplayable.
post 2010s games have no problem to run on modern pcs due to steam and all that jazz. Early-Mid 90s games are monopolized by gog so they handle the compatibility issues. But many games from 98-99 to 2006 are in this weird limbo. They were made with tech that won't run on dosbox etc, but they were also made before steam became popular. So they are in this kind of limbo. And if the publisher is defunct (3do) or is a big publisher that doesn't care about old games (like EA) it is even worse, say goodbye to remasters.
When I was a teenager I always dreamed of extensively playing the sims 2. Installing the main game, playing it fully, then moving on to the 1st expansion, then second and so on. I remember with my shitty 128k connection, taking a week to download all the expansions back in 2007, only to find out I couldn't run the latest expansions.
Back in 2018 I decided to play sims2 again, but boy it was a hassle. Thankfully it still has an active community so I was able to fix a lot of the problems, but trying to find "no cd" cracks in this day and age is nigh impossible. I manage to find some cracks in an obscure blog from 2009. (funny enough gamecopyworld still stands but many of their cracks don't work)

Buy an old console or a mini console with pre-installed games. The SNES Classic just works right out of the box. It never connects to the internet or has to update anything. No distractions from other humans. No memes. It's like being a kid again. Spent all day playing Super Metroid. Found the gravity suit and am exploring Maridia.
On the topic of PC Gaming, epic games store gives out free games, and I really wanted to try out this free clicker game, because I like simple clicker/idle games to waste time, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, but epics game store launcher isn't properly installing, when I try to get it to launch, it says some error means it didn't unstall properly, I'm redownloading it now, it will probably happen again. I guess I know atleast Steam launcher can install, I thought all the hate against EGS was steam fanboy butthurt, but I can see now, it truly is complete trash, well I guess I'll go download the game from steam, but it has less content as it is a free to play game.

Yeah, I've gotten some free games off EGS too but the launcher is just such a piece of shit it's incredible. I don't get how they can't spend the resources to make it better than steam with all their money.

idk I'm fairly new to gaming, and when I was starting I was loyal to Steam just because I thought it was simple to have everything in one launcher, and I just picked up an Epic game here and there, but eventually I had better AAA library on Epic. I've never had any problems with the launcher, although there are less features etc. But it even works fine when it has to be combined with origin and stuff.
