Ok dude, it's cheating. Is that what you want to hear? But since it hurts no one and you're only "cheating" against AI opponents who have no say in the matter, and the "cheating" makes the experience more fun in a game you've already beaten fairly, what's the point of getting all pissy about it?

So he is basically considering just about anyone who has picked up a video game cheating.

ABACABB blood code "cheat" on mortal kombat that the developers put out. Yep I'm a perma life time cheater I guess.

Nba jam codes to unlock special characters in game. Yep we cheated.

Mike tyson punchout after I/we beat the game multiple times and decided its only fun to fight mike tyson and put in the direct code. Yep, we are busted. Throw away the key.

Ftr, I have never cheated in a mp game and in no way shape or form consider myself nor anyone who did the above things a cheater.

I as a matter of fact welcome it on mp games(specifiically cod) because usually they get their arse handed to them and their team loses the game anyway

No, you're the idiot that either can't, or won't, see any difference between "cheating" in a single player game and cheating in a MP game.

I never said I use cheats. I'm simply here to make fun of you, like everyone else in this thread.

So you are honestly saying that there is a difference? You have to enter a code to cheat right? Even on single player? There is no difference. If you enter a code and "want to have fun on single player", did you not enter a cheat code? Just answer the question. You know as well as I do that it is a "cheat" but apparently you PC folks deem this ok. Hey go for it loser.

I can take it. But it appears as though some of the other PC are really getting upset over this. I am having fun.

Yep. I'm trying to win the Anti award next year

Cheating is still cheating though.

Probably the right move on your part. Glad you agree with me that cheating is cheating.

eta: Whether it be SP or MP. You enter the code, you cheat. Thanks, bro

Your argument did not begin with the point of, "cheating is cheating." You started this little charade by calling the OP, and others, bitches because you thought he was referring to cheating in MP games, which he was not. After getting your arse handed to you over that small error, you're now making the absurd argument that cheating in MP is the same thing as cheating in SP. You look like an idiot and everyone here agrees with that assertion.

So go ahead and act like you have a leg to stand on with your bullshite lines. The rest of us enjoy the show.

Actually some games have unlockable cheats built directly into the game, by developers, as rewards. What code are you entering there, genius?

Consoles used to do it too. Remember entering button combinations to unlock cheats back in the NES days?

Referring to his "God Mode" ability.

This is what I said. Why not put the whole quote...

Checking in as a guy who has used "God Mode" and "Infinite Ammo" on Half Life and Half Life 2 after having beat it before.


My friend loves the challenge of a game, and will do things like up the difficulty of a game like Skyrim if he feels he has become too OP. I just like the experience and the story, so if I walk through the game like the Terminator, I have no problem with it.


I can maybe see calling someone who does this kind of stuff in MP a cheater, but for single player when you're not gaining any advantage against another player, and, oh yeah, you're still just playing a VIDEO GAME, it's really stupid.

FIFY. Got damn it sic....even you feel it's ok to cheat on single player??? It has to be a PC thing. Guess I'll never understand it. Thank God I play console instead of PC where the losers hang out.

Because your other comment, which I quoted:

quote:

A cheat is a cheat


leaves absolutely no room, ZERO, for distinguishing between different types of cheats. It doesn't matter if the cheat wasn't for "God Mode." Your own words make it very clear that a cheat is a cheat. Jesus, you even confuse yourself.

Give me one good reason as to why it's not ok to cheat in a single player game, especially one that you've already beaten.

Oh, and Lynyrd, I take it you always play games on their hardest difficulty right? I mean, you would never play a game that gave the AI any disadvantages, would you?
