I never used cheats in older games, I'm certainly not going to use them now. Although, they can provide some fun after you beat the game.

Cheats like unlock ables. Such as "Beat this level in 3 minutes or less to unlock God Mode, etc" instead of just pressing in a combination of buttons.

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.

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?

It dosen't make a diffrence to me. I think the unlockable cheats are superior because they encourge exploring the game world for the collectible that would unlock the desired cheat instead of just looking on the Internet.

In some cases, it works, ie. Tomb Raider Legend: 100% complete the game to unlock the Soul Reaver cheat. (Press F9 to get the freaking Soul Reaver from the Kane series.)

The game insists on you playing the game properly, then getting the fun stuff to add a bit of replay value.

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

It was that last question that threw me.

Sure unlockables are cool and all, but I'm not really the cheating type unless I've already beat the piss out of a game again and again, so I mean... doesn't make any difference to me.

Perfect Dark 64 and Goldeneye 64 have the best cheat system,
To unlock them you have to finish levels on a high difficulty in an insanely short amount of time.
Then while they are on you cant earn more

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.
