semi-cheating (i guess)

I honestly thought this was about a relationship

As long as your still having fun mate, then it doesn't matter if you cheat or not in a single player game ... multiplayer games on the other hand it just spoils the game for every one playing.

It's cheating.

The whole point of ridiculously hard games is the challenge.

somehow my own blog reminded me of the old contra thing. whether you cheat or die on stage 2, lol. games back then were backbreakingly hard (Front Mission is a remake of an older game, if i remember correctly, lol)

But does it really matter as long as your enjoying your self?
Yes it does take away some of the fun, at the end of the day, he's not saying " look at my fantastic score " or " look at my |337 skills " he has said look i'm finding the game a little hard and I need some help to enjoy it .

Is he hurting anyone ? No

what I'm saying cheating is fine, no harm no fowl.

Of course you would say that, obviously you cheat as well.

No, it doesn't really matter. However, I would say that it is hard to enjoy a game whose sole purpose is to be challenging when you cheat. If he finds it fun to do so, good for him.

Actually I don't cheat. I'm not by any means, saying I have never used a cheat, but it is very very rare that I use a cheat these days.

The only way that some one will learn things in life is though help. If your having a hard time learning something you reach out of help - help in this case being cheats. There really shouldn't be this stigma attached to playing games with cheat I'm sure you, benjaminlibl , have used a cheat at some time or another. In fact I would go as far as saying I'm sure there isn't a person on this board that hasn't used a cheat.

Games are there for one thing. Fun. I've known people who love the story of a particular game in a series but has hated the game play for one reason or another. Is it wrong for them to cheat, but greatly enjoy the story of a game ?

Cheat like the wind!!!!

Are some cheats really cheats? I remember having SF2 Turbo on the SNES and a Game Genie.... oh good times... Mid air moves and hyper speed! lol


Extra money cheats in games to me seem like anti "grind" sure you could go just make the money doing mindless repetitive crap but why......

I know where you're coming from. There's nothing wrong with cheating, I just don't enjoy it.

When I was 14, there was nothing I liked better than playing GTA. Weapons cheats, armor cheats, HP cheats, vehicle cheats, costume cheats, anything and everything. Now, I play games for two reasons; to have fun, and to attain the feeling of satisfaction after completing something extraordinarily difficult. When it's the latter, I lose the feeling of accomplishment, knowing I had "help."

But in the end, it all comes down to a matter of personal preference.

It is cheating, but you could have done worse.

this is actually the first TBS game i used cheats on. back then i either liked the game and played it as long as possible until something else grabs my attention (the GBA fire emblem games, FFTA) and some i'm not good in i just get pissed at (advance wars, for some reason). so i figured, rather than get pissed, just to help myself a little, and i can enjoy the game. i don't think there's anything wrong there. seriously though, you can try playing front mission ds using the money cheat only and you'll prob still find it hard, lol.

Enjoy the game how you will. In my mind, using any cheat that directly affects gameplay, which is what you did, is cheating. Might has well used the one-hit-kill code in the first place. But like I said, play it as you like.
