The one true benefit of PC gaming compared to consoles :) ( lemmy.world )

It is not better graphics.

It is not unlimited power potential.

It is Custom Made Content by the fans, available FOR FREE, sometimes after YEARS of work.

What do I mean with it?

1: native PC games such as Fallout New Vegas that get such an amount of fan content that one can customize the game to the point it becomes a remake of itself, with much more in-game content and much more improved UI, mechanics and behind-the-game numbers.

2. emulated games that receive massive overhauls to apply on the very base games that make tjpse obsolete: ever heard of Chrono Trigger+ 3.0 or FF6 T-Edition Ex?

These are fan-made remakes that are so much improved upon the base games, the bases themselves, despite being a timeless masterpiece, feel desolate and with very little quality content.

In short: PC gaming allows the fans to fix potentially good games, or make masterpieces even better!

What is your take on it?
