Cheating

[a nirvana fan]

I was wondering if anyone here uses cheats to beat a game?
I don't because I think it's a really low way to finish a game.

[Lost Number]

I never use cheats on a first go. I might use them once I beat the game, to mess around. Cheats which you unlock are the best.

[Necron]

I totally agree. I never use cheats when completing a game. In fact - I never use cheats ever.
(perhaps with the exception of when I'm messing around on GTA, doing the riot cheat :D)

[Meat Puppet]

I've played Grand Theft Auto before, so naturally that must mean I fall under the category of people who like to do the run over policeman cheat. :(

[Dreddz]

I do alot on GTA, but only because I want to mess around.
On games that I havent beaten, I dont. If I find a game too hard, I'd rather go down to a lower difficulty than resort to cheating. I do on occasions cheat after Ive beaten the game, but that also is just to mess around.

I also never save the game after cheating, and I don't do any missions while cheats are activated.

[Lost Number]

Only once in GTA SA did I ever use cheats and save. That mission where theres a load of helis and you have the Rocket Launcher. I cheated for the homing version.

[a nirvana fan]

Ok well I guess it's ok to use cheats on GTA as long as it's not helping you do in game missions.

[Cz]

Only after I've already beaten a game the hard way.

[Darth Tjador]

I do!!!

[Dreddz]

I do!!!
Only true gamers are honest ;)

[Darth Tjador]

So am I a True Gamer?

[Dreddz]

So am I a True Gamer?
The answer to that is yes ....

[Venom]

I defiently use cheats.

I wouldnt have to use cheats if they didnt make there games so fucking hard.:mad2:

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

I use cheats alot especially if the boss i've been trying to beat has killed me over 15 times each day in a week :D
But i used cheats once on FFX-2 and it messed up my game and i was so close to beating it and it froze.
Guess that teaches me not to cheat again :D xD

[ljkkjlcm9]

most of the games I play don't have usable cheats unless you use a gameshark or something....

[fantasyjunkie]

Some games I do cheat on. I do on San Andreas because I basically suck at hard games and sometimes i need all the help I can get.

Is that a Joke ?

[Starboard Regulator FlareNUKE]

I cheat from time to time

[NeoCracker]

On games I really like no. Now Exploiting Glitches and Cheap tricks on the other hand....

[Crossblades]

I only cheat if I find the game extremely hard

[Zante]

I do.

How can it ever be not ok to cheat? (unless its not a multiplayer game) I mean, the point of games is to have fun, so if you have more fun cheating, go for it.

[Yuffie514]

i wouldn't cheat until after i've beaten a game.

[Vermachtnis]

Cheating to screw around is fun and awesome. Some say it's cheating to trade a lv. 100 Mewtwo to a new file, but I say nay. I trained him in one game and he won't actually obey until later and besides if it wasn't the same game and I wasn't playing through to just get only one thing. Does anyone count Sequence Breaking in Metroid as cheating? I only do that for speed runs, though. Me and my friend cheat together in San Andreas multiplayer. Throwing tanks at each other is fun. I don't care who you are.

[Shaun]

I only use cheats once I have completed a game, as I can then extend the length of the game by replaying it which some things modified. Admittedly, I USED to cheat when I was really stuck on a game, but a hard game is a good game (in many cases). :)

[Elite Lord Sigma]

Screwing around with cheats rocks. I rarely use them to beat the game.
My brother, on the other hand...

[Madame Adequate]

I never use cheats on a first go. I might use them once I beat the game, to mess around. Cheats which you unlock are the best.

Excepting Warcraft III, which I tore through with Cheats so I'd be up to speed on the story afore WoW.

But I am at least going through it properly now.

[Mythra]

I use codes after beating the game or if I'm completely stuck

[Giga Guess]

Something like Sims free play, when there's no real point, sure. Other than that.....meh.

[Erdrick Holmes]

I don't play GTA, so no.

[Neco Arc]

depends what you call a cheat... I occasionally throw phoenix downs on undead enemies resulting in an instant kill... i also exploit the w-item trick... thats about it...

[Erdrick Holmes]

I mean I play games for challenge, since mostly I play games that you get an adrenaline rush from I keep the cheats out. I mean what fun is it to be able to kill 400 ninja zombie demons with a single punch?

[HybridFan]

I only cheat on San Andreas, it is so fun just to walk around all the time and not get hurt or cops after you :) :D

[Gnostic Yevon]

I'll cheat every once in a while, but not in an online game. I think of it this way -- I bought the disk and I can play with it any way I like.

[Shoden]

I use cheats on my first time through and to mess around then beat the game without.

[Havoc]

Yes, I cheat on games and girlfriends. I mainly play RPG's and play them for their storylines/characterizations. I have a full-time job, school, and a general life, so it would be quite difficult to manage playing 30-40 hour long RPG's without cheating. For me, it is a necessity.

*huggles Codebreaker disc*

By the way, with the Playstation 2's USB ports and a flash drive, cheating is simply a breeze.

*hugs Codebreaker disc, PLaystation 2's USB ports, and 256MB flash drive*

[T-MaN]

I usually use cheats AFTER I've beaten the games 3 or 4 times.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Yes, I cheat on games and girlfriends. I mainly play
:nonono:

[Shlup]

I am quite fond of IDDQD and IDKFA.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I generally won't cheat but I will look up a faq if I can't figure out a puzzle myself within the first few attempts to do whatever. I don't have time to sit around and try to solve some complex puzzle, if I'm playing a game I'm playing it for entertainment, not to sit around and waste my life trying to solve some game designer's attempt to drive me insane.

[mega_tonberry]

I have no respect for the people that use cheats on GTA.:mad2: The only time I will ever use a cheat is after I beat a game, I will usually try to exploit glitches. Other than that, I'v only used a cheat disk on FFX for like 10 minutes.
