Ever cheated at a game?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes when I had my psp I would mod my monster Hunter game to get the best armor lol

I cheat only when there is a boss battle that is tedious or too hard for all the wrong reasons. For example, I tried to cheat at Duke Nukem Forever. Most of the boss battles in that game were so aggravating and not fun (contrast to most of the bosses in Duke Nukem 3D) that they were more of a chore to complete then they were something to look forward to. Mostly it was because Duke was so weak, his regenerative health dropped so fast, and often you needed to be behind cover and not get hit for 30 seconds in order for it to regenerate. Most games that I've played at least allowed the protagonist to be able to take a few hits or have some other pro-active means to defend themselves if they didn't have armor. In this game, there isn't much. Even the pigcops can take more hits then Duke.

So I tried to cheat, but unfortunately there are no cheat codes. So I quit playing once I got to the second Octaking fight, since even turning the difficulty level to easy couldn't make playing less frustrating. It just feels so pointless finishing this game now, since the bosses feel so boring and I can't stand this version of Duke. (DN3D Duke feels like a hero, this Duke is little more then a famous cocky douchebag.) Hopefully the next Duke game will be better.

Everyone cheated at games in the 1990s ("IDDQD", "DNKROZ", "ARMYTRUCK" and so on). Guess that's the way things went before the internet became convenient and cheap.

Yes, I do cheat, but only against AI. The last time I cheated was when playing Battletoads. But only to the point of giving me infinite lives. Anyone who has played Battletoads knows this is almost a must, unless you are very good.

i used to cheat in counterstrike, never caught by VAC but it wasn't alot of fun being unfair to other players so i went to cheat-friendly (non-VAC) servers and it was alot of fun.

initially i exploited glitches, my old pc has some odd graphics issues that let me see players thru walls and floors, it wasn't a wallhack and it only worked occasionally but i exploited it whenever. i was also known for nade spamming by binding f4 to +hegren. sometimes people would join my team just to nape spam everyone else...
ah those were the days, i played on the custom maps and superhero servers very often. this was '05-'06. infinite ammo perk + speedhack was a ton of fun. i got to be a real expert on spray n pray tactics.

i haven't been playing much these days and cheating is too much work, not enough gain, too much risk of being perma banned. i exploit what there are to exploit but these days i rely on good ol' skill.

When it comes to cheating I really could care less about whether it's good or bad in singleplayer games and cooperative games, but when's there's a competitive/versus aspect to a game and you aren't just messing around with friends, instead you're legitimately giving yourself an unfair advantage over your enemies through exploits or hacks, I really think it ruins the experience. Now, back to singleplayer games, using cheatcodes was something I did in almost every game I played when I was a kid; I was really bad at completing objectives in games that weren't given to me on the screen or in a notebook and, in general, I was very impatient and it didn't take long for me to be more interested in messing around than playing the game. The same applies nowadays, but really I get tired of cheats in singleplayer games very quickly so I don't even bother 90% of the time. Occasionally, in RPG games, I will cheat and not just in a "messing around" way, and it's basically limited to Bethesda RPGs (they have so many bugs and there are so many little things you can do to make the game a bit less tedious with console commands) and Pokemon games on emulators. Pokemon games have all kinds of event-exclusive items and Pokemon that are super hard to get for no reason (Feebas in Gen 3, that is all) in the earlier generations so I personally thought it was justified. Now, there is one time that cheating just completely changed a game for the better and that was save editing in the original Borderlands (after the 1.2 patch, btw, if there are any fellow "modders" here). I could write an entire novel about all the stupid(ly awesome) guns that I made and what every single one of them did and how the parts I put on the game made them do what they did. I knew the gun statistics and parts system inside and out and I'm actually kind of proud writing about it now.

my mind went straight to: using cheat codes, and exploiting glitches。
I've never cheated in a board game or golf etc.

I beat DOOM and DOOM II so of course I cheated. Anyone who claims to have beaten those games without cheating is lying.

^^Yeah. I was able to beat those after a playthrough with cheats; knowing where all the booby-traps are helps. The "super shotgun" of doom 2 is kind of overpowered, really.

So you wouldn't believe me if I told you I beat the first 2 episodes of Doom & the main episode of Doom II without cheats? I don't even know how I pulled it off either....

The real question is, did you beat them on the original engine, or on a sourceport with mouselook and/or jumping? The Icon of Sin is easy as hell to kill when you can use mouselook to aim precisely into its head.

Man, now I feel like digging out my 486 and playing my copy of The Ultimate Doom, with 320x200 graphics, OPL3 FM synth music, and keyboard-only controls, the way the Flying Spaghetti Monster intended!

I play on Xbox 360 ( i bought Doom 3 BFG Edition which has all 3 Doom games on the disc )...

Try finishing "Thy Flesh Consumed" on Ultra-Violence without cheats.

I used to have the XBLA version of Doom on my old (now inaccessable thanks to an RROD and a forgotten password) Xbox Live account. Even though I had it for PC as well, I still found this version to be quite enjoyable. The simple controls lend themselves well to a console controller, unlike modern FPSs that really need a mouse.

I tried not to look at my opponent picking their play in Tecmo Super Bowl.

Plus some Game Genie stuff.

Wow I voted then realized you guys are talking console/PC single person games, I thought you meant like MMPORG games, yeah cheated on them too.
