Never in multi-player.

Single player very rarely. I dont like looking up guides either unless im absolutely stuck and ready to quit the game over it.

Im absolutely a person who does everything the hard way and looks down on anyone taking an easy road. To me it devalues people who actually do work hard (example, using auto tune/melodyne vs actually learning to sing. I dont care how transparent it is, its cheating and waters down the real talented singers out there).

I don’t mind cheating in video games as long as it’s never against other players. Single player games or PVE games go ahead and cheat your ass off. As long as everyone involved with it is cool with it. The moment there is another human player on the other side of things NEVER cheat. Video games or otherwise.

Many moons ago I would to cheat in payday 2. Not because I cared about getting super rich but because I thought it was funny to make it rain duffle bags of gold bars that instantly kill anyone who isn’t hiding under something. Or just watching the absurdity of the AI trying to fight hundreds of little turrets. The people I was playing with were just messing around for a laugh at this point. We had beaten all the maps on all the difficulties and now we just wanted to break the game.

I play the game with john dark soul in easy mode, with unlimited health and the mod that plays a bonk sound every time my dual wielded greatswords hit an enemy

I cheat in single player games to remove the drudgery of farming or grinding past a certain point.

Stupendous, miesiąc temu do games w Do you cheat in video games?

In single player games where there’s fall damage, I always mod out fall damage and carry weight limits. I don’t care about realism especially when it’s selective realism like in video games. So in that sense, in single player games I’m cheating all the time

I never played the Sims or GTA 3 without them.

If a game setting or mod does not do what I want, sometimes cheats can do the trick to tweak the balance of hp, stamina, enemy health, etc.

For multiplayer games to, fuck anyone that does!

Single player do whatever you like. Play your way. Example: the old DnD games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs Gate, I’d start a game by console commanding a Light/Lore (scholar iirc) ring and a stack of identify scrolls. Do what you like to remove the irritating part. Bag weight mods in Fallout, anyone?

Multiplayer, no, never.

You could argue that mod use is cheating, in the same sense that console commands are. That would mean almost everyone who has ever played Skyrim is a cheater alongside everyone who modded out Inquisition’s beige pajamas before BioWare added an alternative.

Multiplayer games are absolutely off limits cheating wise for me. HOWEVER... using trainers and mods and things like Cheat Engine in single player games is not only ok, but I often treat it like it's a mini game. Can I give myself an extra 100k gold? Hmm fire up CE and let's see :)

The immense thrill I get from reducing some horrible grind from hours to minutes is just huge fun. I'm basically a sandbox guy. GTA5 cheats, for example, have led to more unexpected sandbox fun than I could ever have imagined over the years.

Not using cheats in single player grindfests is like having a first class ticket on a plane but choosing to travel economy. I think it's basically that I don't like being told to grind for the sake of it or for some "moral" reason.

I love a FUN grind though. I've spent days in games like My Time At Portia just fishing for example. It comes down to this: If a grind is fun, I'll happily do it but if it's just like I'm a mouse being toyed with by some cat then hello God mode lol

I remember using cheatcodes to unlock cards in Yu Gi Oh Dark Duel Series, those were fun

Nowadays I dont feel the need to, games I play are fun enough out of the box, sometimes I might look up what to do if I’m stuck

Only if I've already beaten the game legitimately before, and usually only to skip something that's tedious.

For my kids, just like mi papi put trainers on the ole c64 for me

I'm strongly of the mindset that cheating only means taking a dishonest and unfair advantage over another person. Changing the rules of the game is not cheating, it's house ruling - in tabletop discussion, that's part of what we call Rule Zero. If I'm not in competition with another person, it's just playing by my own rules.

I remember one HL1 CS (Specialists Mod) LAN party I was in where we all turned on Matrix Vision and multiplied the slo-mo timer. It was great - utterly chaotic, but everything was equal.

So no, I don't cheat in games. I just play by my own rules as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. And if I do play multiplayer, I try to bring my house rules to them. I've never had any person accuse me of cheating when I ask about various options. TBH, the closest I come to cheating is turning on all of the assistive features - colorblind mode, target highlighting, auto target, sound notifications in minimaps, custom keybinds, and whatever else is in the menu. Everyone else can also choose to do that, and I'm just as happy if everyone I play with has those same things.

I only use things like console commands in case I get softlocked or similar. When playing Bethesda games, especially modded, this will come up sooner or later. Apart from that, it would ruin the fun, so no point in doing it.

When I’m spinning up the n-hundredth skyrim run I cheat my stats up a bit to skip the early game tedium, but otherwise I tend not to unless I’m getting bored of a game and want to sample endgame content to see if I wanna keep with the grind
