If a game is too hard, turn down the difficulty. If it is still too hard, dont play it.
If a game is not fun for you dont play it.
If you can do something no one else can do, congrats. If someone else can do something you cant do (with or without cheating) GET USED TO IT.
1) The difficulty isn't the problem, it's the restrictions of the gameplay.
2) And what if I was playing Fallout New Vegas, and wanted to see some lines of dialogue at which I needed specefic perks/stats. Who in their right mind would start a new game and play through several hours to get to that point.
3)Which means a whole lot in a single player game....
1) It's the restrictions in gameplay that make a game difficult or easy, remove those restrictions and you remove the challenge.
2) If you can't be arsed earning the right to those parts of the game then you don't deserve to enjoy them. I can be arsed and skipping the effort cheapens the experience for those of us who actually play the game properly.
3) If you can do something someone else can't do then you can feel good about yourself for being better than them. It means just as much in single player as in multiplayer, haven't you ever seen a game vid posted by a proud and boastfull master of it? Something to aspire to?
1) I agree that a games restrictions affect the difficulty of the gameplay. But when you have already beaten the game and get bored of the current gameplay, mods and even cheats can alter the gameplay enough to extend the lifespan of a single player game.
2) Earning the right? that term can hardly be justified outside of online gaming.
3) That depends on the game. Lets take Minecraft for example. I have often searched for videos regarding what people have built, and am often in awe. That said, I see no reason why someone would feel good about completing Fallout 3 / NV a certain way, as it's designed to be completed.
I play video games to have fun. That sometimes involves resurrecting an npc in Fallout who I did not want to die. It could be to skip unwanted progression in a game that I have already completed, or it could simply be that I wanted to alter a gameplay which I have become bored of.
I do not make nor watch "Let's play" or any other such type of videos. I simply don't care what other people do with their game aslong as it doesn't affect me. I would ofcourse be offended if people cheated in multiplayer or co-op games, but when all it affects is themselves, then I see no reason why anyone would have a problem with it.
Aslong as developers make sure to disable the ability to get achievements when a cheat is activated, then I see no reason why anyone would think that cheats shouldn't be usable in a single player game.
Do everyone a favoure and ask yourself why it matters to you.
