LucidNightmare, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

I play games to have fun, which is the reason I don’t play multiplayer games (unless local). I also have a very limited amount of time to play games after work.

I cheat with WeMod on openSUSE Tumbleweed for every game I can. I’ve just recently beaten Resident Evil 2+3 and am currently on 4 right now, and am having a blast getting to play these games!

The number one reason I am having a blast is BECAUSE of the cheats. Every game is different for me, so I only use the cheats that will minimize the amount of time I have to do silly shit like collect X amount of this material or whatever other stupid grindy stuff they come up with that doesn’t respect my time as a player. Using the RE games as an example, I don’t turn on every single cheat. I don’t want to worry about inventory management (not fun to me, personally), so I turn on No Reload. This means my weapons will never need to be reloaded, which means more space in the inventory for the story important items. Win/Win for me. What I don’t do, for these games in particular, is use the infinite/god mode cheats. I still want to get damaged and try to recover if it happens, so I leave that one off.

People get… really fuckin’ weird when you talk about how much fun you have using cheats in a video game. “You can’t be having that much fun, or else you wouldn’t cheat!”, “You shouldn’t cheat on video games because it takes the fun away!”, “WOW, YOU NEED TO GET GUD SCRUB. ONLY LITTLE BABIES CHEAT IN VIDEO GAMES!!!111!!”. And here I am just having fun and completing game after game after game to get through my monumental Steam library. :P

Not so much anymore because I haven’t figured it out on my Steam Deck but ABSOLUTELY with PC games. Strictly a solo player though.

PoolloverNathan,

Your Steam Deck is a PC, by the way. Your existing methods should work.

HowlsSophie,

I used to use WeMod (they go by a different name now) but it was on Windows. Linux (Kubuntu) is my main OS but haven’t gotten into cheat software with it yet. Suggestions?

Bind one of the back buttons to tilde (~) and then pull up your steam keyboard, if you’re talking about console cheats (like in Skyrim or Fallout).

HowlsSophie,

Ahh, that makes sense. I think the only games I’d want to cheat with are like…Hades, Silksong, and some strategy games like Humankind.

LucidNightmare,

Hey there! I ran across this comment and the subsequent thread and wanted to reach out to you!

WeMod (I will never call it Wand lol) can be used with Linux to varying degrees. I use this little project to play my games with WeMod.

I’m running openSUSE Tumbleweed, and have had a very high rate of success with using WeMod while on openSUSE. I’ve probably beaten about 20 games with them since last year when I made the move to openSUSE. Now, some games do not work right off the bat with it, and I’m not sure why.

If you have any troubles, please reach back out to me in a comment here, so that if we fix your issue, others might benefit too.

Cheers! :)

Not in the typical sense, but I do use mods that may alter the vanilla experience to be less grindy.

For example in Sacred 2 remaster I use mod that doubles the quantity of enemies making it more challenging but also more challenging.

In Incredible adventures of Van Helsing I made set and godlike items drop from special mobs with 1/10th of chance of epic items or something as without mods you’d have to grind for keys to open offline lootboxes.

I do also like exploits that may trivialize the game. Especially in rpgs where they may allow mevto create ridiculously powerful builds.

I was getting ready to rant until you mentioned Terraria. Then I read the last line of your post.

Shoot, if I’m playing against the computer I use the game the way I want. It’s not cheating if your opponent is non-sentient.

I especially feel that way in games where ridiculous stuff happens at random (e.g. Rimworld). If I’m 2h into building a new colony and somehow get wiped out by 1 rabid squirrel, I curse, laugh my ass off for a minute, then load an autosave.

So this game is landing with a solid Metacritic, but it seems like this is coming from all the blogspam AI-gen sites being overly generous with their scores. Some of the more reliable sites (VGC, Eurogamer) are landing more in a 3-star range. Seems like critics are very split over how to receive this game.

i do in minecraft. ive done the song and dance of cutting tree, making table, making wood pick, getting stone farrr too many times. i cheat in a stone set, turn on warp/tp, and turn keepinventory on. makes it a less stressful game when my true intention is just to mine and decorate with friends high after work.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond feels like a game stuck between two worlds. When it’s emulating the series’ past, Beyond is an entertaining, if overly conservative, sequel. However, as the shadowy corridors make way for open-world fetch quests, and Halo-style expeditions with AI companions, it’s left feeling like a diluted experience that doesn’t fully deliver on the spirit of earlier entries.

exactly what everyone was worried about. it sounds like it’s still worth playing but doesn’t reach the highs of the series, and those open world bike sections look boring and unnecessary

I was hoping for more than a cromulent 3D Metroid, but I’ll take it for what it sounds like it is.

mienshao,

I’ve seen other reviews literally say it’s the best game all year.

I really wish people would chill. I don’t understand the doom and worry over an 8/10…

RightHandOfIkaros,

Its a Nintendo game with a well known name. Of course some people are going to call it a 10/10 game of the year, even if it doesn’t deserve it.

People said that Zelda BotW was a 10/10, and then Tears came out and made all of those people look like idiots. BotW was really more like what I said it was, a 6/10.

mienshao,

I have literally never once heard anyone call BotW anything other than a masterpiece. I’m sorry, really not trying to come for you, but I think it’s fucking nuts to call that game a 6/10.

sbbq,

This is one of those series where a game that doesn’t do well can make sure you won’t see another entry for ten years.

Day 503 of waiting for Indie Stone to re-instate multiplayer on the game you’re playing?

Truscape,

Tbf the only broken multiplayer is on the opt in unstable branch. It’s not like b41 mp vanished.

Th3D3k0y,

My issue is mostly that this is a “Mo money mo problems” situation. I did single player for B42 and I REALLY liked it. Going back to B41 is like swapping back to 480p from UHD.

Truscape,

That’s a self-inflicted wound brother. It’s like playing a leaked copy of a game before release.

RexWrexWrecks, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

Yes.

I play single player games on my PC without sharing my achievements with anyone or bragging about my exploits. When I discuss games with my friends, I usually talk about story, narrative, writing, acting, mechanics, etc. I don’t discuss difficulty and I think people who say “not revert game is for everyone” are stupid, especially when a game is more than just its mechanics.

Yo I haven’t played PZ in like 5+ years, and it looks awesome. Cars? For real?

Truscape,

…and multiplayer, overhauled animations, 3d models, new textures, and mods galore :)

jaupsinluggies, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

No, I tweak the rules to better suit my gameplay preferences.

hardcoreufo, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

Not really, I don’t even know how you cheat in modern games. Retro games I’ll put in codes if they are built into the game but not game genie/ game shark codes.

I got no problem what you do in single player games though, you do you. I don’t play online multiplayer anymore but you suck if you cheat online.

Pilgrims. Its a puzzle game, no dialogues but great story. Not FOSS.

amanita-design.net/games/pilgrims.html

It’s a paid game, though. I got it for free from Epic Games.

You can play it on any device. On phones, it is played in portrait orientation.
