When playing a game, do you use cheats to help you complete it faster or just for the random fun it may add to a game? Or you a purist and do you not use cheats at all?

I will use cheats i if I get bored, but then again, like in the GTA series, i use them just for a laugh as they make things more enjoyable for myself. I play for fun and not to complete a game or achievements so I just use them when I feel like it really.

I use strategy guides and or cheats if I am really stuck in game. It is no use to me to go around an hour in the same place if I can just use a strat guide and figure it out.

Sorta agree with you here. I don't like using cheats that much, unless the game is utterly stupid, or I just don't care about it. Strategy guides are the same way, I prefer to figure it out myself, but sometimes I just need help in a tough spot.

I used to use cheats in games like GTA when I beat the game and such. But not anymore because they ruins games.

I used to use cheats on Game Boy a lot (remember GameShark?), but I don't think it's as popular anymore now on the modern consoles. I rather play the game as it was meant to be played.

It seems like games hardly have any cheats anymore..or at least the ones I play.

Yeah, seems like games like grand theft auto are the only types of games that still have cheats.

Which doesn't surprise me. They do make the game interesting, however.

Yes! I definitely do. I might not do it on GTA V though. I'll try to survive without cheats. I doubt I can though. Maybe I'll have one saved game with cheats and the other without. :p

I'm extremely rigid when it comes to external sources of help. I'll spend hours trying to figure it out on my own, and if I can't figure it out, I'll sleep on it. That usually does the trick. On rare occasions I will glance at an online guide, but I never use cheats.

Same for me. I almost never use cheats the first time I play a game. After I beat the game once, and if it appeals to me enough to go for it a second or a third time, I might try it out with a few cheats. As for online guides, I use them occasionally when I am stuck up at some point or can't seem to figure out what to do next.

Personally, I'm not very big on cheat codes. At least, not until I've beaten a game first. After I've beaten whatever game I'm playing, then I don't mind using the cheats because then I know it's me playing for fun. Not me NEEDING them to get through the game.

The only game that i remember cheating on it is GTA haha, because it's very fun to cheat on that game in order to drive super fast cars, helicopters, and tanks, and i also enjoyed having many kind of weapons.

I don't really use many cheats, and rarely. I like to think of a way to get through the game, but sometimes it can take days or even weeks.

I am a pure gamer and I rarely use cheats except on games like GTA as you mentioned and there is not doubt that cheats in such games add a lot of more fun and the game just seems to be more enjoyable when cheats are used. However, as I mostly play role playing games or strategy games, I don't like using cheats especially to ease things for me. As I stated earlier, I am a purist. And whenever I think of applying cheats on such games, its almost like being disrespectful to my skills. As a matter of fact, for me, its fun to be stuck at some spot in the game because such games are more challenging. But of course, its just a difference of perspective. As you said you just play games for fun, but when I start playing a game, I don't leave it until I have completed all the achievements, primarily to brag in front of my friend. ;)

I don't like to use cheats, it destroys the fun and experience in playing games. Walkthrough, I do use them, but not cheats. Much better if I play it by myself.

If they have cheats, I use them, just for teh lulz. It makes things more interesting, especially in the GTA games.

I almost never us cheats, the only game I use cheats all of the time is in the Twisted Metal games.. I just find that the cheats tend to make the game more fun.
