Cheating

So, unlike most people are expecting with a title like that, my blog will talk about cheating in games, but first something more fun/delicious.

 

Today I decided, as I'm going on holiday and I've been particularly good all week with all my food, despite double lunches and large amounts of food for dinner, that I deserve a day where I can eat crap food and as much of it as I like. So I'm having a cheat day, and so far I've had cookies, crisps, mentos, peanut m and ms, i'm just about to have sandwiches with peanut butter, jam and m&m like things, then skittles and finish off with some mints.

YAY!!

 

So, another topic, cheating in games. When I was young cheating in games seemed like it'd be fun, and usually the codes were unlocked after completing the game, however, upon reviewing how many games had cheats, and whether they were useful or not, it really detracts from the game. I'm also glad that some games did have cheats, like GTA3, where once you'd completed the game there wasn't much to do so getting a large arsenal of weapons with lots of ammo was only a few quick button presses away, this is specifically the only game i can remember actively cheating since I've been playing games, that wasn't banjo kazooie that gave you most of the cheats throughout the game. Now, looking back at it, I feel my experiences of those games have declines as the cheating might have detracted from any game that was potentially good. Things like being rewarded for completing a game however, like Stealth, or the Bandana from MGS was a reasonable item to use, as it showed that you'd already completed the game, and you actually earned this item that makes parts of the game significantly easier. However nowadays most people I know don't cheat in games, and I don't think there is as much scope for cheating since the introduction of achievements, like gamerscore and ps3 trophies, as it'd detract from actually earning these legitimately.

 

I have no idea if what I just wrote makes sense.

 

Oh well.

 

In other news, I'm going to Nagoya, Japan for a week, so my next post will be a week on Sunday, I think it'll be about the 24th.

 

Peace

I myself can't imagine playing a game such as GTA without cheats. Makes it a lot of fun after you've beaten the entire game, heck, I can't count the hours I've spent just running around, shooting things, and doing random things in GTA4.

GTA is better without cheats, in my opinion. The only reason I'd use them would be on San Andreas, to mess around while playing that dodgy excuse for an addition multiplayer. After that I'd reset.

 

GTA IV is fine by itself, after you've finished the game, the only weapon slot that hasn't maxed ammo is your pistol, because by the time you hit Algonquin, you're behind cover all the time going for headshots. A taxi can get you anywhere for messing around, anyway, just a bit more work.

 

Agh, I'm rambling. TL;DR? Cheating is lame and I've grown out of it.
