Cheaters

You can't cheat this Tetris, it cheats you.

Good video.

When I worked for Xbox, I once got a call from someone who said that he had video proof that someone was cheating at Halo on Xbox Live (actually, I got a bunch, but one of them stands out for some reason) and he wanted to know what I was going to do about it. I told him there was nothing I could do about it. It's against Microsoft's policy to actually do anything about it.

really? i thought they gave that memeber a permanet ban or something O_o, i guess it must only be for pc

The only game I used codes was TRIII because it was so damn hard! >.< and the walthroughs didn't work XD

but cheat on Tetris.... it's a bit extreme!

I don't play online so it's not an issue for me, but I'd be pretty mad.

(On the other hand, cheating offline is really fun and something I encourage :</>D)

Why? It sucks the fun right out of the game! ;-;

That depends on a whole heck of a lot of factors. I can tell you right now though, being massively overpowered, or cheating outright, can be epic fun in some games.

When playing against people, cheating = bad.
When playing solo, cheat = whatever.

One fun multiplayer cheating game I had was in AoE III:WC though. It was me and three others against one friend allowed to use whatever cheats he wanted. It was quite fun actually, basically became a game of hiding from him and his army of 30 monster trucks while trash talking each other. Good times.

Here's something from my last LJ entry:

Cheating can be pretty fun! I never play GTA III without cheats. Missions are boring! I WANNA SHOOT PEOPLE AND DRIVE AROUND IN A TANK AS AN OLD LADY! Oh. Flying cars, too. Don't try telling me you've played The Sims without cheating and had a load of fun! Yeah, it's not bad, but once your sims get too poor to eat, and then can't get a job because they refuse to go job hunting hungry, they're doomed.

Weird stuff can happen too. I didn't feel like getting the Magus Sisters in FFX, but I still wanted to see what they looked like when I summoned them. So I cheated and gave Yuna the command to summon. Tidus and Lulu ran off, and Yuna just ran in circles. Run run run. I watched and laughed for a little while *reset*

My favorite incident is Tomb Raider II. Once I put in all/infinite ammo cheats in and attempted to shoot the annoying old guy that follows Lara around in her house (he didn't die, so I locked him in the giant freezer again). There's no way you can have guns in her house without cheating. I try another weapon. She pulled out her guns, and then when I pressed X, A WHITE PYRAMID PIERCED HER STOMACH! Then her arms just flailed around in a funny way. It was cool. So I reset and tried another weapon. Uzis, I think. This time when I shot, HER HAND AND HER HEAD WAS REPLACED WITH HER ASS!

It was funny. She had bullets flying out two of her asses xD

About a year or so ago my friend and I were in team slayer in Halo 2. We were facing a team of people who thought they were Walshy, and they sucked.

They used a cheating technique called bridging. I don't know exactly, but I'm pretty sure they download a program onto their computer which can probably show everyone in the game. From there they can flood someone's connection with packets which kicks them out of the game into the post game lobby, not the party lobby.

They kicked the other 2 people on the team out so it was just my friend and I vs. 4 others. No fair, but since they sucked at even bridging, we still beat them.

Whenever we came close to them, we could hear them saying "No! Press that button. Jake has more kills kick him out." stuff like that. Although in my Halo 2 experience, that wasn't even the worst of it. In the post game lobby all they said was that we were faggots and then left. Typical Halo 2 assholes. Why cheat to make yourself look good at a game? If you decide to play for real, you're just gonna lose. Look at the patriots . just kidding, but i still hate them.

CHEATING. IN TETRIS.

Oh god, NOOO!!! Now I've lost all faith in humanity! This time for certain!

Anyways...

I've been lucky myself, and can't recall encountering any hacker in any game that I've played online. I know a guy who has encountered hackers in Metroid Prime Hunters quite a few times, though, and he was really upset about it.

People who hack/cheat in online games are wimps who can't win by honest methods.
