Gaming When do you usually cheat in DS games?

[Agjsdfd]

Just for testing purposes. If i cant finish a game(cause its too hard or watsoever reason), i just leave it...

 

[metron]

Only after I beat the game. If the game is to hard for me I deal with it and try to get better. I never use cheats unless the game is beaten, and when I say that I mean beaten by me!

 

[Mr.Seiko]

I don't usually have a lot of time to play some games, so if I run into a situation where I have to play a game for hours to collect a certain amount of a certain item, I will sometimes cheat to speed that up.


But in general, I wait until that game is completed normally, then delve into cheats to change the experience, and push the game to it's limits.

i use cheats to avoid games that have a lotta repetition. ie FF games where I enjoy most of the aspects of the game like story etc, but couldnt be damn bothered to sit and waste my life grinding.

When do I usually cheat in DS games? Never.

 

[loony747]

RPGs, usually EXP multipliers. Nothing too harsh. Usually 2x, maybe 4x if I find the grind too boring.

 

[Reaper]

I have cheated in every game I played

 

[Rayder]

About the only time I cheat in games is when I'm completely stuck and need some kind of help to get passed whatever I'm stuck on, then I'll turn the cheats back off.


But if I already beat a game, sometimes I'll go back and have fun with it using the cheats.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

So far, I haven't cheated...But my idea is to cheat when I don't have any intentions on playing some game seriously, because I'm not that much into it, so I'd make it more interesting with cheats, and with games that I have already beaten, and I want some more fun.

 

[JPH]

Cheats seem to ruin games for me, so I usually never cheat - even if I'm stuck in a game or find the game difficult.

So, for almost every game ever - I never use cheats.

However, cheating in the Grand Theft Auto games make them so much more fun (not necessarily when in Story mode),

 

[Canonbeat234]

On two occasions, 1) When I'm rushing to beat the game. FFIV is an example where right now I'm at the part where I have to find the dark crystals. I use the item after battle cheat. Items: Adamant Armor, Crystal Ring, Soma Drop, Golden Apples, Atermis Bow, and Crystal Shield. Then I use the Gil Mutiplier cheat until I max it out. I never use the Exp multiplier but I did use the item cheat that maxes out when you go to the inventory.


2) When I want to complete the game in its all entirely; TWEWY which I stopped playing so it doesn't matter.

 

[TwilitSky]

I always want the progress in the games I play to reflect my own effort, so I don't ever think of cheating, even if the game is frustrating. That's the reward of challenge, and it doesn't apply to just games. If everything was handed to you on a platter, you would be spoiled and have no sense of achievement.

Just for fun though, I've used the rapid-fire handgun cheat just for a few minutes in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (100% complete game, I have the Chaos Ring after several hours of grinding for rare souls

), and in Hotel Dusk, I turned on the cheat that allows you to click anywhere on the screen to continue the text, a feature that weirdly isn't part of the normal game; a minor issue that doesn't bother with the greatness of the game.

 

[Balrogs.Pain]

i usually will use a cheat when either, A. im stuck and a cheat may help me, or B. a harmless cheat that will just help me out when i want to use it.
But, i have some conditions on what type of cheat i will use. I will NEVER use a cheat if it permanently change stats (Health, magic, defense, bla bla bla.) The exception to that condition is that if it is for gold or something which i use very often (Mabye like press R to refill rockets, hold select and L for 99999999 gold) and it drains itself, then i will use it, but only if i feel like using it. And i also will not use a cheat if it progresses me further than where i currently am, such as in metroid prime, if it skips me 4 worlds, then i will not use it.

 

[Nadz]

If I want to keep playing but have hit a difficult spot and am about to give up the game, I'll cheat my way past it then turn off the cheats (usually

)

 

[Shivers]

Haven't had my flashcart that long yet but I haven't used any cheats yet

 

[Goli]

So far I've cheated twice:
1) Getting a Rainbow Tail in FFIV
2)Yesterday trying to beat FF XII: RW, I completed the game 100%, but the final fight was too overpowered (lv 99) so I used the 1 hit kill cheat.

 

[Lily]

Generally, I use cheats in every game that I play. Sometimes I won't even play a game if there are no cheats available, because I like to have the option.

What can I say, I'm a dirty cheater.

 

[Anakir]

I only cheat to unlock all characters and such for games that I never plan to play alone.. like Bleach 2nd, Mario Kart, etc. I only play them when its with friends. Other than that, I don't cheat. Unless its super hard.. or I'm stuck
