Game cheats?

Here we go. Always been wanting to ask. Games for PC's run about fifty dollars new. I don't do console but I know they're not cheap either.

So...why in Christ's name would you spend that kind of money on a game and then get codes to cheat? Defeats the purpose and offers no challenge. Also...I think it says volumes about one's character as well.

    I agree. I've never been one to use any kind of cheats. How would you ever have that wonderfully satisfied feeling of beating a tough game if you used cheats? Cheaters never win, right?

    Here we go. I know where you're coming from. I recently purchased an Action Replay Max. Whenever I buy a new game, I wait until I beat the game COMPLETELY until i use it. The same theory would work for other games too. So if you find a game you like, buy it, then beat it, then use cheat codes. That way, you get the fun of the game, with the entertainment of cheating.

    Hope this helps =P

    It's the old adage...it's not HOW you get there, just that you DO. If the scores are posted, public knowledge, the player assumes everyone is so stupid that they will never guess that cheating was involved. Just the way of the world. No pride in achievement or skill. Just get those numbers. A sad commentary on the human state.

    I agree with you. That's why I only rent from Gamefly, and if there's a game I know that has level select cheats or difficulty cheats I stay away from them so I'm not tempted to use them. I do however like the cheats that let you do "cool" stuff (like in the GTA series) those are just fun.

    I agree.

    My ex-husband was addicted to video games. He breathed and lived for video games. He would stay up all night playing that garbage. His version of quality time was for my son and I to see him play on the PlayStation.

    I suggested counseling, and he send me to hell. I threw the thing away, and he got a bigger badder one. He ate in front of the PlayStation (he is over 30!!!) and my son and I ate alone and went to bed alone while he spend his life away with the PlayStation.

    You're absolutely right. Why spending your time and money in that rubbish? It speaks volumes on ones character. One thing is for entertainment here and then, but when it takes over your life you have a problem, because you are dissociating from reality and neglecting real life.

    I divorced him a few years ago for other reasons (yeah, like video game addiction wasn't enough) and he recently called to "talk" (not about our son, of course) and guess what he wanted to tell me..... you guessed it... about the release of Halo 3. Unbelievable.

    Good luck

    PS/ I love your answers. I'm happy to see a question from you.

    Usually if you just surf the web...(i.e. Playstation 2 San Andres game cheats), you should produce several websites such as gamestop and others that will provide you w/info...

    why not find cheats in cheatcodes.com? some new games will not have cheats though, it gives u more information what's gonna happen if u use the code.
