I usually cheat on single player games after the first play through, and even then only up to a point, I'm not going to activate god mode but given the chance I'll take infinite ammo.

same here. never on the first playthrough, but if i find them i'll try and remember them. i feel that once i've played through the game once, i feel that i shouldn't have to do the full slog
I'm the sinner with the heart of gold. I always cheat in SP if possible, and for me it only adds a level of comedy to a game. I love using cheats in the original FEAR ,those being god, poltergeist [think notarget in a steam game], gear [adds health, armor, and slowmo], and I believe tears which gives every weapon. Then watch as the replicas freak out in slowmo as I blow them up, cut body parts off, and beat them to a pulp. Now while I do this in any SP that will let me, I never ever cheat in multiplayer unless we all are and we are friends. I am a damn fine gamer if I do say so myself, though I am by no means a pro I can hold my own in a firefight and in team based games (Battlefield 2) I play as the necessary but under-appreciated medic.
For the lulz? Of course. To try something not really possible without cheating? Yes. To beat a bug in the game? Yes. Sadistically hard game design- I've done it once or twice, if I just wanted to get on with the story. But just finishing a game relying on cheats other than the above? No, there's no point.
I love how you have a complex answer, but you made the poll a binary yes/no.mALX said:
Anyway, I often do it on subsequent playthroughs, often alternating with regular playthroughs. For example, I did a regular playthrough of Jedi Outcast on Jedi difficulty. Then I did a cheat one on Jedi Knight, then a regular one on Jedi Knight, then a cheat one on Jedi Master, then a regular one on Jedi Master. Whether it's a cheat run or not, though, I always use Dismemberment Mode, as it's just a cosmetic change
I voted yes, but thought I should explain it. It's fun sometimes to cheat just to see how you can alter things, or just to have fun. I made a 100% chameleon outfit in Oblivion and sneaked inside every house and castle - just to see what they had in there, see if there was anything interesting. Other than a couple love notes, there really wasn't. The coolest thing I did was to use that chameleon outfit and got the Bleak Mine guards chasing me, then ran thru three Oblivion gates. You have to wait inside the gates for them to follow, so you get to see what the Daedra do with their time when they don't know you are there. It was great, they patrol a beat just like cops, and when anyone nears the gate (you know how the sky gets red outside the gate) - well inside the gate it gets really dark, so you know they are near. They can't see you, but their AI is trained to follow you anyway. They are very tough, and can easily beat the Daedra, so you have to stay just a little bit ahead of them, or they will nail you. I had a gate crashing around me and heard a sword being pulled out, and when the gate finished crashing I was cut all up, my health low. He must have beat the heck out of my while the gate was crashing! I had to run to the next gate trying to heal up on the way to stay alive - it was a Blast!orannis62 said:I love how you have a complex answer, but you made the poll a binary yes/no.mALX said:

Some cheats are perfectly alright in my opinion (such as those that give you funky colours, funny noises, uber blood/gore mode etc.).
There are also cheats that can just ruin the game (such as invincability, ghost mode, fire/1 hit kill ammo from RF2) and make it too pathetically easy.

I would cheat if was bored out of my bloody mined but most of the time I will not because that completely defeats the purpose of he game I the first place.
I only cheat if I can't beat a level no matter how many times I try, just to get onto the next one.
