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.

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.

I am terrible at video games. I really struggle. Some sit in my library unless I turn on a cheat or two. I can get through stuff like horizon or cyberpunk no problem but the Main offender is fallout at the moment. All I really needed was unlimited carry weight. Oh, and my sibling and I used to cheat in age of empires and the sims all the time. (Rosebud anyone?) Never cheated in a pvp and I mildly chastise my acquaintance who does.

blimthepixie,

I’m also a hoarder

moistracoon,

At least we’re honest 🤷‍♀️

blimthepixie,

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 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. 😭

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

I agree with the other comment that this is kinda clickbait. Just make an honest post to one of the open source games communities and don’t try to be sneaky about it
