GTA IV iCEnhancer Creator Takes A Break From Modding Due To Internet Haters & Trolls

Well, it was to be expected. When a mod gets incredibly famous, a lot of users – for some unexplained reason – start bullying its creator. We’ve seen this happening in a lot of mods, and the latest version of iCEnhancer is the new victim of this trend.

I've never understood me on people who takes trolls personal, not to sound like an ass, but he should man up.

Trolls are just people who try to bring someone down, worst thing you can do is to show that it gets to you.

mushroomwig3553d ago

It's the trolls that need to grow up and man up.

Neixus3553d ago

Ofcourse, but be realistic, we will always have trolls on the internet.

Most people deal with trolls just the same as people who get bullied, stand up for themselves.

Dee_913553d ago

Exactly. Dude needs to man up.No amount of hate from random people on the internet would make me stop doing what I love.Because we all know, no troll have the balls to say 99% of the crap they say on the internet in real life and chances are they are kids.Also not to excuse the trolls but if these articles stopped claiming these mods to be the second coming of christ, I personally think that would cut down on some of the hate he received.

ExposingLames3553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

I haven't read the article yet, but I clicked on it thinking the same thing. Seriously? If you care THAT much about what random not even people...just names on an internet board have to say about you....you have a lot of problems. If its that bad just click off and don't read em. Use the ignore button. Perhaps grow a pair. Never understand these kind of things. People are just too sensitive these days. Awww he hurt my feelings he told me that my hair was too long and my shirt is the wrong color!!!! Theres more to life than the internet and message boards.

TechnoSphere3553d ago

Generally people who troll have these kinds of explanations to whitewash their awful personality.

ExposingLames3553d ago

That doesn't make it any less true though. No matter who tells you 2+2=4 its still a fact.

joab7773553d ago

I would tend to agree but theres a lot at play...and everyone isnt a rock everyday. Who knows what motivates people? And many ppl are simply more sensitive and havnt dealt with it before.

Prime1573553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

It does when people start giving you death threats...

So you're 2+2 analogy is wrong because you came in with the pretense that all trolling is essentially harmless. 2+2=4 is wrong when you forget one of the twos was supposed to be a three, but you wrote two by accident or ignorance even stupidity.

Dee_913553d ago

@TechnoSphere
Generally ? since when? Your calling him a troll because he believe dude should ignore trolls. Generally trolls want people to be affected by the crap they say.

aliengmr3553d ago

Isn't that what's happening here? He's ignoring the trolls.

Yea, its easy to ignore trolls, but constant never ending hate for something you are doing for free? People have their limits, maybe the internet should grow up.

Seriously, if I was constantly being attacked for doing people a favor, there's a point where I'd tell everyone to F off.

It's probably easy to say since you haven't been targetet by the internet trolls.

Enigma_20993553d ago

... so your problem isn't the trolling, but the victim not growing a pair and getting over it?

I wonder whose side you take when people get bullied?

ExposingLames3553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

No, I knew full well most people were gonna hit that "disagree" button to REALLY show me how bad ass they are. Its just how this site is. If im talking to someone else who has a pair unlike most here then you know full well that trolls and assholes in real life and on the internet are never going to change and its always going to happen...thats how life is. So YOU have to do the change. You can sit there in tears wishing everyone would kiss your ass and tell you how great you are, but its not gonna happen so taking sides is as worthless as wishing. Grow up and stop acting like a child and see what is really important and what isn't. People are WAY too sensitive. The fact most don't agree with me just shows how bad it is...at least here. I feel sorry for them...then at the same time disgusted.

Troll are always going to be there. There are just as many asses are there are nice people. As someone over 13 years of age you need to learn to deal with both as a part of life. If "adults" have these issues then.....ugh

Neixus3553d ago

Well, trolls will allways be here.

Enigma_20993553d ago

@ICE PICK

No one's trying to prove a damn thing to you. What people have a problem with is your complete lack of ANY kind of sympathy for people in this situation. Maybe if you had took the time to demonize the trolls that attacked him before you turned your gun on the victim, then people could come to see your argument with a little merit, even if they don't agree with it. No single person is the same. They're all unique. And that includes how they react to stuff like this. So you can't expect all of them to "man up and grow a pair like everyone else."

There is nothing childish about being saddened by having your feelings hurt. It happens all the time, regardless of age. That is one of the dumbest counter arguments I have ever heard. It doesn't prove that people are too sensitive, it proves that you don't have a f****** heart. Some people are incapable of growing a thicker skin. It's the truth. Accept it. And try throwing some of that disgust the trolls' way.

ExposingLames3553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

@ Enigma_2099

I understand what you're saying and can see where you are coming from. I don't know your experiences, but mine just have me in a different mindset than you have. As I said I have never and will never understand internet trolling and issues with it. Just click off or ignore.

When I was in middle school I had just changed to a brand new school and was bullied in real life something fierce for weeks. I can tell you I didn't care for anyones sympathy, compassion, good wishes, or anything else. It was worthless to me. I wanted a way to make it stop. I would fight back, but never took it far enough. Finally a kid decided to talk to me about it one day and help me out with a suggestion. I ended up slamming the main bullies face into the bleachers and breaking his nose. After that all the other bullies fell in line and I was never bullied again. I would have done more, but it wasn't needed. From my own (as you said everyone is different)experience I cared about a solution and not support. That's what I try to offer. I admit it is hard for me to feel for someone who is hurt by text on the internet from a random name/person. There are solutions though.

I guess I'll leave the compassion to others. I can only offer what worked in my situation and it worked with great effectiveness. Perhaps I don't have much of a heart or have lost it.

You're rarely going to change others...especially bullies or trolls. I tend to not put much stock into that. Better to look to yourself as issues such as this tend to repeat.

Dee_913553d ago

@Enigma_2099
I'm sorry but people that get bullied on the internet and takes that stuff to heart gets no sympathy from me at all.Nobody needs to demonize the trolls, they are already at the bottom of the totem poll, absolutely no point in even entertaining the thought of talking about a troll. I have more hate towards the people that feed the trolls than the "victim".The only time I can side with an internet bully victim is when it starts to affect his or her real life, like posting private pictures, phone numbers etc.

Enigma_20993553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

@Dmarc

Well as long as you don't use it as an excuse to attack the victim, you can feel however the hell you want.

You want to ignore the trolls, fine. But don't sit there and belittle the people who are directly affected by their douchery. You don't have to pat them on the back and tell them it'll be okay, but you damn sure don't have to talk down to them about it either.

Dee_913553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

Thats the issue and why the word sensitive keep's coming up.Telling a man to man up isn't attacking him or belittling him. Thats telling him to ignore them and keep doing what he's doing. I don't know dude or his age, but I assume he is young.Regardless he should know that he wont get far in life letting idiots get to him, because this world is filled with them.

I agree. They are trolls. Why does anyone ever give them any second thoughts? How weak of a person are you?

starchild3553d ago

No, gamers should grow up and stop acting like whiny entitled brats. Too many people like that in gaming and it's just sad.

ATi_Elite3553d ago

I get trolled constantly but i just laugh in their faces.

1. Trolls are just worthless cowards who find joy in causing chaos

2. Dude needs to grow a pair and just ignore trolls. If anything he is tired from long hours modding.

So rest up because gtav pc is coming and i need an icemod for that asap

BongSmack3553d ago

I know right! He's so selfish for letting the trolls win. In a way he's the troll.... no wait That's you.

You don't know anything about his personal life so you should keep your judgements to yourself.

Neixus3553d ago

I don't need to know about his life. I just pointed out that showing that a troll can get to you is not a good idea.

"The Internet also gives the means to be the greatest troll without any coincidence whatsoever."

lol, coincidence

EverydayGuy3553d ago

Should just keep the mods to himself and display it on YouTube.

john23553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

But then you'll have others criticizing him for being elitist and not sharing his mod. Like what they did with Gionight and his ENB mod for Skyrim. Hell, even in N4G you'll find a lot that criticized Gionight for not sharing his mod.

EverydayGuy3553d ago

Those Skyrim mods are amazing. Well he should stop releasing mods to the public until the trolls are desperate and envious, then they will shut up for awhile.

Ninjamonkey823553d ago

Well hopefully the lad gets back on board and doe's his modding for the next GTA release on PC. People can be complete ass hats at times. If he don't come back GTA5 on PC will be a lesser game without him and that's the truth, I've been using all his mod's on GTA4 from the start and enjoyed the lot. Makes you wonder if his Trolls where even pc gamers ;).

andibandit3553d ago

Anyone have any examples of how he's being trolled??

Im finding it hard to imagine:

Troll: "HAHA your update looks even better than the last one, YOU SUCK"

???

Grand Theft Auto 4 Anniversary: The Beginning of the Age of RAGE

Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.

Fifteen Years On, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' Is Still the Series’ Best

The series' most overhyped and overrated (especially by critics) more like.

Number1TailzFan355d ago

Not sure tbh.. I'd say 3 was the most overrated. It's pretty rough to go back to, it was quite rough even trying it just after Vice City. Lack of humour and vehicles that had the weight of polystyrene with top speeds to match.

VC & the stories games (even LCS) were all fun. I remember there being a lot of praise for GTA 3 on TV and in game mags, saying it was a Dreamcast killer of a game or words to that effect, and honestly after playing it on PC I didn't think it was that special and kind of dull, had the odd moment of fun but hardly anything. I heard they cut online multiplayer at the last moment for PC, shame because it could've made all the difference.

Would've loved to have seen what kind of cartoony GTA style game they could've done on Dreamcast as a competitor, I bet something along the lines of Simpsons Hit & Run would've worked well.

BlackTar187354d ago

@numberz How can the game that defined a generation and was copied by everyone be overrated? Was a asinine comment

seanpitt23354d ago

For me 4 was better than 5 was more realistic and the physics was on another level! 5 was a major let down in that department!

Number1TailzFan354d ago

@blacktar you have your opinion i have mine. I found the game dull, and it is for the most part. It set the foundation for the much superior SA and VC however.

KwietStorm_BLM353d ago

You say GTA III is overrated because it's rough to go back to and rough to play after Vice City. Your entire opinion is in hindsight. Of course it's rough going back to it today. It came out over 20 years ago. That doesn't take away from the fact that it pioneered a lot and was a paradigm shift for a lot of trends in game development today. Vice City in a lot of ways is just a more refined version of III. It was San Andreas that took the big leap forward from a design perspective. If III doesn't release, who knows if the open world genre would be what it is now. How can that be overrated?

1nsomniac354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Not at all. My most played game of all time. Truly stunning accomplishment in gaming and with PC graphics mods it just took it to levels beyond anything that came before and possibly even after.

People who moan about it generally tend to be people who played it on under powered consoles and couldn’t handle the more realistic car physics. It was the slightly more realistic approach that made it stand out more. Absolutely love it. In fact I always said Vice city was my favourite of all time. But after going back to the remaster I realised 4 was actually the best.

Profchaos354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

I'm no critic and I consider it the best games in the franchise after recently replaying every entry it's story when paired in conjunction with it's DLC was and still is amazing.

shinoff2183353d ago

Lol. Fun fact. That dlc cost a certain green colored console 50 million for exclusiveness. Un heard of back then. Just to point out the hypocrisy of the 3rd party exclusive agenda going on.

Anyway how the dlc better then the base game by a mile. Lol imo

DigitallyAfflicted353d ago

I've enjoyed gta4 the most from all the others too.

DarXyde354d ago

San Andreas holds a special place in my heart. Honestly, I couldn't get into IV at all. Didn't even finish it. I had some pride in playing it at first because I'm originally a New Yorker, but it just didn't do it for me.

To each their own.

shinoff2183353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Gta sa for sure. To this day my favorite. My least fav is gta 4 easily. Gta 4 made me feel like the dude in next friday trying to take the cd back talking about i cant get jiggy wit this.

Maybe looking back it would be 3 but 3 did so damn much for gaming in general. . My first gta was of course the top downs so the series has came a long way.

Not really

Overrated

Boring

Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety

Lacked the GTA fun charm overall

Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor

blackblades354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

GTA 2 was the best, lol my only owned GTA game. Vice city was alright when I rented it back then. I cant really say which is the best cause those the only 2 games i played but GTA 2 was fun on PC back in the day. Closes game to it that I enjoyed was SR3 and I dont care what people say. That none serious tone was fun enjoyable.

banger88354d ago

Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.

isarai354d ago

Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.

I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV

chicken_in_the_corn354d ago

It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
