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

It's only really cheating if you cheat someone else. The point of video games is fun and entertainment. If "cheating" improves that, have at 'er.

I remember trying a Game Shark on a few games back in high school, and what I found is that it made the games boring really fast.

More recently I tried applying cheats in Super Ghouls and Ghosts. I still didn’t make it past the first level. 😭

Cheating instantly ruins every game for me

No point in playing anymore if I’m cheating. Can just do literally anything else in life instead

I only cheat on games I’ve already completed without cheating

Never in PVP or competitive type games.

I’ve used ‘cheat codes’ and mods on single player or teamwork vs environment games for decades after playing a game long enough to want a different experience. Depends on what kind of fun I’m looking for.

Not really. Taking away the challenge ruins the fun.

But I liked activating cheat codes in GTA: San Andreas. Spent many hours traveling around the map in a flying tank and causing random mayhem.

no

Single player after i’ve beat it a few times sure. Multiplayer no.

In single-player games I occasionally “lightly” cheat.

Using “infinite” mods or unlock “everything” mods just ruins all the fun for me.

But unlock a specific thing or get a small amount of rss type cheats that reduce grind I like.

I kinda stopped cheating in games when cheats stopped being button combos or console commands. I never cared enough about using them that I am gonna go out of my way to modify the game or use a 3rd party tool to be able to cheat.

If the game has them built in, I might partake. Tho even back in the day, the one I used most just made everyone have a larger head (idk why this was even such a common “cheat”).

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

Only in single player games and typically only when it’s too challenging like that mission/quest that is just really frustrating.

Or if I’ve already beaten the game and lost progress and just want to quickly get back to where I was.

Other than that, not really much. Maybe once in a while just to fuck around, but that’s about it for me. I don’t think it should be that big of a deal for single player offline games and you’re not trying to hit a leaderboard. It’s annoying seeing those on some games’ leaderboards and it’s obvious they’re there just because they cheated.

I learned from America that it’s okay to cheat.

zr0, do games w I'm doing a public playtest of my game based on one of the most disturbing real life experiments in psychology! Need playtesters, please leave a comment if you want to sign up in Steam

I am fascinated by all the morally questionable experiments and I always wondered if it was really necessary. So I am very curious about your project. And if it ends up causing sleepless nights, I still can go the lobotomy route.
