So, I was wondering, how do you guys value that content? What do you respect more? The socalled DLC, PC mods or Indie games?

There's a poll also.

Indie games. I'm not a fan of PC Mods really, except maybe texture packs and what not, and DLC is a ripoff 90% of the time.

PC mods. Don't care at all about DLC. Some indie games are nice, but it's kinda rare that one interest me.

PC mods are like indie downloadable content, only free.

I see no reason not to vote for it.

DLC, its at least official content.

Rarely will PC mods even be worth trying out and even rarer will Indie games be worth demo-ing.

Well, INDIE games are actual NEW GAMES, right? I would go for new games rather than add ons to current games.

Pc mods of course. Can be anywere from a weapom to a texture replacement to a single level to a whole mission and even a whole game and are free.

Indie games are also good considering most of them start as pc mods for games like half life 2 or crysis and are good enough that the developer consider releasing them as a game

PC Mods, they are all free and alot of them are very high quality.

Indie games are also awesome.

I dont care for DLC though as i think it should be free. BUT... If its my favorite game i might get some DLC here or there.

It would be DLC if it were free or at least reasonably priced as it should be (there are some exceptions), but alas all it's really doing is showing the greed of big corporations like Capcom or EA. So I guess since I never got into mods on PC much, as I found most to be utter crap, I value indie games the most.

Hard to choose between mods and indie games (mostly PC ones though)

I don't like dlc that's not free, I would rather wait for them to add more content and release it as one big expansion pack

I would say some of the indie games are pretty cool, but seeing all the mods which I enjoyed over the years like CS and other HL1/2 mods, RO , NWN 1/2 modules, Fall from Heaven, thousand of cool user created maps etc For me it is Mod > Indie Games >>>>> DLC

Wartzay

Because there must be something that you like more :)

Anyway, I respect mods the most, 'cause people really make some incredible stuff entirely for free.

On the other hand, ACE Team did fabolous job with Zeno Clash. Fantastic game.

Indie games > DLC > PC mods

Though some PC mods can be amazing as a full game, like Heroes 3 mods and Crysis mods

Mods, indie games can be great too but often mods are better and free, and there's more of them. And with mods I mean full games/total conversions not those tiny add-ons.

PC Mods, ftw. Followed by a distant margin, indie games. Only then, DLC, if I feel like, for some stupid reason, being a victim of being ripped off by marketing suits.

PC mods are free, there are practically thousands of them and many of them are many times BETTER than official downloads. Some games are simply terrible to play WITHOUT mods. Especially Bethesda Games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion.

PC mods many times double up as full fledged indie games too (which again, are free). Which is somethign alot of people simply are not aware of. Many indie games that we have now started off as free pc mods. People need tor ealise that PC mods comes in all shapes and sizes, from tiny weeny mods that simply adds a couple of skins and retextures to completely whole news games with new quests, storylines and factions (plus equipments too).

The best thing being a PC gamer is...we get all three by the bucketloads. :P

Indie games.

I have never cared about mods in games (I think a lot of them are cheating if they are game changing mods).

I don't like DLC ( as in extra stuff not full games).

Depends on the Indie game, but, I'd say DLC->PCMods->Indie Games.

PC mods by a LONG shot. Anybody who's delved into the modding communities will agree with me. Not only have mods expanded the replay value of games significantly, sometimes the mods put the original retail game to shame. I'm find myself saying "why didn't the developers think of this?" many times. Total conversion mods aren't the only ones that are worth noting, small mods which are only made for a simple reason can make a game more interesting and fun to play. After mods I'd say indie games, since they're a goldmine of unique gameplay experiences. DLC is left in the dust.
