    depend on the game that i play.

    game that i normally cheat is

    Pokemon, breeding, i try legally breed a pokemon, it took me 4 mouths....... to get the pokemon i wanted... since i got something else better to do, i always cheat on breeding, although i dont make cheap pokemon like wondertomb.

    Yu-Gi-Oh, i cant stand farming for money just to wasted on some random digital booster packs, so i always get infinite money, but i still unlock the pack in normal means.

    anygame that i beat, sadly i cant do this anymore since new gen console doesnt have ar, but back then whenever i beat a game throughly, i always look up some fun cheat to make make the game more fun like having a rapid shotgun cheat XD.

    I would love to agree with the bottom one...but sometimes life isn't fair :(


    In gta san andreas, I got stuck in a train tunnel, one bit of life, all guns for the first part of game, heaps of cash...

    I had no way of getting out, especially if the police are on 4 star and I was one low health-1 hit ko :(



    So I used a cheat...just the one to prevent bullets killing me...




    But normally I dislike cheats except in crap games that NEED cheat codes to get any fun out of them, games like south park on n4/ps1 come to mind.


    Brother loves cheats, but he is only young and has yet to learn to be a "pro" player XD



    When I was 7, me and my farther used the "konami" code in probotector (contra for nstc players) because...well at 7 and he wasn't a gamer we needed the lives...it's only now that I could beat it without cheats.

    I only cheat to make the game more fun. Like weapons, infinite life, inf. money, etc. But other than that, I never cheat to advance the story. I downloaded Mario kart, and I could've downloaded a save file, but I didnt. I chose to unlock all the karts and racers manually.

    Cheating destroys the feeling of being rewarded.

    I don't use cheats at all during the first run-through.

    The exception might be cheats that don't really make the game play any easier, but help make it less time consuming. For instance, when I played Dragon Quest Monsters, the only cheat I used halted the time in the Metal Menagerie in order to make it easier to level my characters and capture Metal King Slimes. It's something I could have done without the cheat, but it would have taken twenty times as long. This way, I'm able to to everything that I would do normally, but without an insane amount of grinding that might otherwise make me stop playing.

    Oh, and people who use cheats in online play are a-holes.

    When I played Zelda Spirit Tracks, I couldn't beat the second boss (The Fire an Ice Guy). I tried it over a hundred times but it killed me all the time, so I used an infinite heath code to eat him.

    I only cheat if I'm stuck, finished the game or I'm bored of it and want something fun to do

    I don't cheat at all. If I get to a point in 'the' game that is like banging my penis against a wooden nail-board, then I will throw a hissy fit, and go back to it later, then most likely do it.

    I never use cheat, if I'm stuck I will stop playing that game. I did not finished FF7 because I got stuck in the last battle against sephiroth (almost 10 years).

    Depends on the game and my interest.

    If I am playing a fun game with interesting battle systen or mini-games etc. I don't cheat because I will be most of time doing something i like to do.

    Now at games that requires to waste a lot of time grinding, farming money and etc. i cheat to make the game more "fluently". Normally Infinite money to have my character always with top-notch equiment and tons of recover itens. Usually more its than enough to beat a game.

    Happens because when I play RPGs and some tatics games, I go for the story and the story only. Spenting my time grinding or 20 minutes killing a useless boss isn't of my concern if my interest is in the wall of text after the battle and not the battle itself.

    I only cheat when the game gets boring, but it gets even more boring when you cheat.
    Lose/lose.
