Only in the games where “victory” isn’t really the point, eg. Rimworld. I’m gonna turn a little bit of river into buildable land if it’d mean I have a better looking base.
Not just games but in real life. I’ll do whatever it takes to succeed and reach my goal even if it’s steps on a few toes, even if it means the destruction of the planet.
Finding cheat codes for Sega Genesis games was my introduction to the internet. It was so fun getting to tell other kids at school about cheat codes that you knew about for their games.
These days I don’t, mainly because they don’t seem to have them anymore, and also because if I’m not enjoying the game with its base mechanics I have plenty of other games in my backlog that I can check out instead.
I have 2k hours in rimworld and I cheat like a motherfucker when my favorite pawn dies. I might go through a run having revived the same pawn 10+ times. I’ll do all kinds of weird copes like oh its fine because I will also delete this stack of 10k silver or i’ll delete another pawn as sacrific. However in multiplayer games nah no cheating, I can win fair and square. Outside of sandbox single player games nah I dont cheat either since it feels like its ruining the game for me.
If save scumming counts as cheating, then yes. But otherwise, I’ve only ever used cheats in single player games and I really only use cheats if either the game sucks or the cheats I used didn’t effect gameplay. Some of the times I remember using cheats are:
Using the “fixme” command in Morrowind because I got stuck somewhere.
Using various cheats in the GTA games, after I had already beaten the main story, just so I can cause some mayhem.
Using the “giveall” command in Doom because I installed a weapon mod that required it.
Using the free cam that built into some emulators.
I think I remember using a cheat code to access unused content in at least one game, but I can’t remember what game that was.
While I haven’t played it yet, there is a PS2 (I think) game that requires using a cheat code to enable widescreen (or was it 720i, or maybe there was more than one game that did this, I can’t actually remember now).
Save editors for Mass Effect to unlock squad mates early for spoken lines that I would have never heard earlier, cheating in rare candies on emulated Pokémon games or making Pokémon shiny too.
I recall using something similar for Borderlands 2 circa 2012/2013 to get certain guns to drop with the right parts as well.
