Earning cheats?

[Fayathon]

Wow, guys. That was perfectly clear to me, whats wrong with you?

He asked why we must now UNLOCK cheats in games, by playing through them

Whatever happened to inputting some buttons and suddenly we have infinite health and super speed?

I thought that I was the only one that got exactly what he was saying.

yeah you beat me to the post

A DUEL! PISTOLS AT DAWN!

Wait... what!?

*slaps face with glove* you heard me. A DUEL, sah!

If it will make you quiet then fine! It's your funeral after all...

Hardly. Water pistols are somewhat less than lethal.

Errr... *tosses revolver aside* *cough*

Hah! Fooled you! *shoots your face off*

/thread derail

Damn you! *shakes fist*

None can defeat the Professor!

I'll not be fooled so easily again.

Well, if you have a top hat, I would like to invite you to my group

Alas, no top hat, will a feathered cap do?

no, the group in Madmen in TOP HATS

Unfortunate, for me anyways.

I think the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark model is really cool but I feel it could in fact be expanded on into almost a sub game by splitting the cheats into two lists.

So say, one list must be done "pure" (no cheats running) but the other can be cheated towards making the order you unlock them rather strategic ala Megaman bosses. For example: You have to speedrun a stage that contains a large chunk where you retrieve extra expolosive ammo to clear a collapsed hallway - you begin with a single grenade so ifitine ammo becomes a prerequisite. Of course, Invulnerability would be the final cheat in that list, requiring practically all the others to even get a chance at it.

too help people out but when you think about it its bullshit to earn them I prefer the dev console when I want to use cheats

Like Uncharted 2? That's the only thing that comes to mind.

Fucking Goldeneye 64 did this when it released almost 13 years ago. Despite what EVERYONE seems to think I did not find Uncharted that fantastic and found it did very little new.

Calm down. I said that Uncharted 2 was all that came to mind, not the only game with unlockables. I don't even think that Uncharted 2 was too much above average, definitely not as praiseworthy as many people seem to believe. If you want to rant then that's fine, but don't group me together with ignorant people.

Well, I guess since the internet made obtaining cheats a bit too easy, they decided to make one earn them rather than find them.

It also makes sure you play the game the way they intended you to play it, rather than being able to press a few buttons and skip most of the levels, which they worked hard on.

Just earn them and feel like you did something.

I'm in agreement with this guy. The internet is the reason we don't see many cheat codes these days.
