Cheating... yuck.

[KentaRawr!]

When Cheating in Video Games, does it give you a yucky feeling inside? o.o

I just cheated in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow to get a bunch of souls early. Really it was just out of curiosity, but I forgot that my souls change randomly when I do the Succubus Glitch. So now, my Axe Armor soul is gone, and I have a ton of souls early. When I looked at the HellFire soul, I was like "Cool". Then I read the description. "Congratulations."

...

I cursed at my DS.

So, when cheating in video games, do you feel yucky?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I don't cheat until I've beaten a game the honest way at least once, mostly to avoid situations such as the one you described. After that, though, anything goes.

[Dreddz]

I feel like an 11 year old.

[DK]

No, I quite enjoy cheating in games. It depends which game it is, though. Some games I don't use cheats on, others i'll use them quite happily.

[Master Quan]

I don't think the GTA games would have nearly as much longevity if it weren't for the cheats.

[Madame Adequate]

Depends on the game, but mostly I only cheat once I've gone through properly.

The best stuff is when you can unlock cheats through playing, a la Goldeneye. If you earn it, after all, you feel quite happy to use it.

[Zeldy]

I feel sneaky whenever I cheat, and when I complete the game I don't get that proud feeling
I used a guide for some parts of Another Code, but that game is SO HARD that It didn't bother me cheating.

I beat turok 3 using all weapons.
At the end of the credits it says Congradulations! You CHeated!

[Venom]

Cheating in games makes me feel better about myself!

[AdVenT]

It only makes me feel bad when it back fires on me somehow!

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

By yucky I suppose you mean "lame"
Not in all games because for some I earned the cheats

[Roto13]

I'll cheat under the following circumstances:

1. It's not really cheating, but I'll use codes that change things in the game without affecting the gameplay. Like... paintball mode in a shooter.

2. I've finished the game already.

3. The game sucks balls. I cheated at Turok 2 back in the day because that game was [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] and that was the only way to make it tolerable enough to get my money's worth for the rental.

[Markus. D]

the only game I would cheat on is... none, why bother?

[Zeromus_X]

Yeah, the JP Scroll glitch made me riddled with guilt.

I don't cheat in the sense of messing around with the games code, but things like Vanish/Doom or W-Item where you know the programmers were on vacation, I use once I beat the game.
