Are You A Cheater ?

[Nackers]

Once I finish a game I cheat like a madman just to give the game a new lease of life,, but once I start to use cheats I find it's hard not too,, Like I'm playing Skyrim, I start a new game and say to myself NO Cheating but within a hour or so of gaming I end up with that many cheats IT NEARLY TAKES THE FUN OUT OF IT..

I take a rather pragmatic view on cheating... If the fun from the game is being sucked out by being stuck at some particular point, I will cheat however much I have to.

A case in point would be the game Disgaea for the PS2. Absolutely HILARIOUS tactical RPG with exploding penguins, a demonic senate you can bribe or just beat into submission, they even make fun of the Power Rangers. The problem is that it is a level grinder in the extreme. I think there's a possibility of 999 levels for every character. The first few levels are pretty easy, and you start thinking, "Pbbbbbbbt! Can I increase the difficulty level on this?" Then you get to the first boss level, and get your arse handed to you on a silver platter. So you have to keep replaying the same couple of filler levels over and over again to level up your characters. I don't mind replaying a level once or twice if I'm under-leveled or just make a stupid move, but that kind of level grind just doesn't do it for me. So I will absolutely fish out a cheat to speed up the leveling process so that I might only have to replay a level 1-2 times before my characters are leveled up enough. There's also the fact that it costs money to heal characters, and that almost always eats up everything you get from a level, so you have no money for improved weapons or armor. That also takes the fun out of it for me, so I have no problem giving myself essentially unlimited funds.

Of course going the other way, if I made myself invulnerable and able to spam special attacks, then there's no real challenge in the game, so I won't do that.

On single player games, I don't care if people cheat or not. Whatever makes the game more enjoyable for you. That's kind of the point, right? Games are supposed to be fun. Multiplayer I'm very anti-cheating, unless it's like WarCraft 3, where if you cheat like giving yourself instant builds, the enemy gets the same ability. It should be a level playing field.

You can cheat in Skyrim? Seriously just goes to show how dumb I am about that. I lost my RAID array a few months back, and I had not backed up for two weeks. Just so happens I was playing quite a bit of Skyrim at that time. Had found pretty much all of the shouts for example. Death of one SSD = me not having the energy to reply from my save on back up. As my character was just starting out. Just the thought of having to redo it all was so off putting that I have never played Skyrim again.

Think I need a pm about Skyrim and a cheat or two.

I don't cheat, it's generally more fun just to play the game properly.
I do however make hacks for certain online games for fun.

I hack in most singel player games just for the fun of it. Especially the Elder Scroll games that have a inbuilt console. The only multiplayer game I ever hacked in was CoD MW2 and this was during the time when 50% of the game community where hacking due to a free week of the game were anyone having a steam acc could play. Plus a private hack was leaked as well.
