Something that gets asked/discussed on any gaming community about once a week :blink: but still, always interesting to know what people think.

I used to cheat like crazy when I was younger, which is a shame really as I feel now it spoiled some of the games. Now, however, I play the games correctly and enjoy every moment of it. There is something really satifying about compleating a game without using cheats at all.

One really strange thing that I have found is that sometimes I am really let down by the AI in a game and almost feel like I have cheated (for example the computer attacks the strongest point of my defences in a Strategy game).

I only cheat in online games.

[Fruit Pie Jones]

No way. That ruins the fun.

Occasionly I'll do it, sometimes I do it to just mess with the game a little like going invincible and reigning havoc in Deus Ex

[Havell]

I usually have more than two saves in each game, one I play properly and another I use cheats for for fun. In games like Morrowind I give myself the ability to run really fast and jump over buildings and things.

[Fawfulhasfury]

Same as havell. I will play the game without cheats and play it with the coolest and most cheats. Like in megaman legends where you can get super jump and roller skates.

[Hail-To-The-King]

Only once I beat it, or it's frustratingly impossible, as it is with most arcade games.
(Ikaruga drove me insane)

[Fruit Pie Jones]

I should amend my earlier post: After I've beaten a game legitimately, if I'm not sick of it, I may go back through, cheating like the devil, just to see what else I can find.

[DeathDude]

Yeah beating the game, and then just having fun that maybe you were too scared to do, or just fooling around, always helps to prolong the game experience.

Ahh a great game... but Deus Ex 2 was a real dissapointment (bought a new graphics card so I could play it & Doom 3 without problems and they *both* turn out to be horrible games).

Deus Ex is also great fun multiplayer.
