Still one of my all-time favorite vidya codes.

yes

>tfw cheat codes became less popular because of achievements/trophies

>you collected 80 dragon dicks in less than 5 minutes on hard mode, tell your friends!

The worst form of padding for the dumbest form of gaymur.

Ensemble Studios always had the best cheats

I miss them so much

>Implying it's not due to DLC
Any dev worth his salt can just disable achievements/trophies when cheats get detected

Age of Empires 3 had awesome cheat units. Laser Bear, a giant bust of George Washington that crushes people, and a Hot Dog stand that shoots a flamethrower

DLC doesn't even feel like cheats.

I never felt more godlike for buying DLC, just that I had more stuff than before.

>George Washington
GEORGE CRUSHINGTON

>PRE-ORDER NOW FOR YOUR +5 SWORD OF SKILL AND EXTRA PERKS

as much as Sup Forums hates on Uncharted and as salt as i am that i dont have a PS4 they always had some fun shit in them

favorite game with cheats on?

GTA:SA, VC was cool too

Losing Fat Drake is a bit of a bummer though

Maybe that's why. I have never used any DLC that gives me a greater advantage.

I even uninstalled the Red Envelope DLC pack from Sleeping Dogs when I got all the DLC from a sale.

Not anymore, we have Grown Up™ now and realized that doughnut drake is problematic fat shaming.

This is why i'll never consider myself "grown up" when all i see are god damn babies who won't stop crying about one thing or another

Yes, GTA 5 has cheat codes.

shitty timed ones, yea

in a separate online only dlc

>Remember when games had actual cheat codes that did fun stuff in games?

Yes. And it's a shame that those days are gone.

But back in the late '90s and early '00s, when cheat codes were common, a lot of the "hardcore gamers" (i.e., all the late-'90s-to-early-'00s equivalent of you retards) would constantly, fucking CONSTANTLY, complain about cheat codes. They would actually whine about cheat codes being in games because they were so emotionally triggered by the thought of completely optional features allowing other people to more easily beat single-player games. Am I the only one who went on video game boards back then? Every time someone mentioned using cheat codes, even just for fun, a bunch of other people would bitch and moan that the game should be challenging and that cheats somehow ruin it for everyone.

They might have been a vocal minority, but my guess is that developers saw this retarded shit and thought their customers didn't want cheat codes.

>cheat codes became less popular because of achievements/trophies

I don't buy this at all. Lots of games with achievements also have cheat codes. The developers who give a shit about the legitimacy of their achievements just disable them when cheats are in use. There's no conflict between achievements and cheat codes that can't be fixed with a single "if" statement.

However, the achievements were probably invented for the same reason that cheat codes were abandoned: Autistic fuckface "gamers" who think that single-player games are serious business and that we should all care whether total strangers were able to beat one fairly.

>their customers didn't want cheat codes
No, they just discovered that they could sell the cheatcodes calling them DLC.

Achievements ruined games. Now you can't even develop one without shoehorning them in or no one will allow it on their system.

I miss big head mode

The Arkham games have that, iirc

>CHECK YOUR WALLET
>THATS ME ON THE DOLLAR BILL

I learnt to type without looking from the AOM cheats, I used to constantly type them and just spam them until I could just do it without even thinking, I always had trouble with trojanhorseforsale though, don't know why.

NOT FOR LONG CISBIGOT

>low gravity
>tank code
>welcome to Rhino Airlines

The worst is when publishers sell cheat codes as DLC.

Are you me?

Junkfoodnight for life

I was very disappointed by GTAV's lack of wacky cheats. I was hoping they would go the SA route.

I never knew about this...

who did this besides saints row?
im guessing EA or ubisoft pulled this shit as well

the spaceman cheat in AoE1 is the best cheat, only barely edging out the Sheep Cannon and Monstertruck from AoE3

They're ucking obsolete. Grow up and get with the times you nostalgiawhore manbaby.

There's so many good cheats. Rereading my old 1001 cheat book brings back memories.

That's rarely done.

It's been years since I've actually seen DLC that functions as a cheat code. Extra weapons are released as DLC, sure, but whether that counts as a "cheat" is debatable. Name 10 games that have a "god mode" DLC.

how fast can you fags type pepperonipizza

>I don't buy this at all. Lots of games with achievements also have cheat codes.

the thing your failing to grasp is how much people care about the legitimacy of cheevos. And compound that with instead of making neato cheatos devs instead program in cheevos instead.

it takes time and some effort to do any of them and given how now cheevos are considered mandatory for the most part. Devs instead time into cheevs instead of cheats since it will be much more appreciated by a more people even if due to the lowest common denominator wanting and liking it

>Name 10 games that have a "god mode" DLC.
Majority of them since they're piss easy with "video game journalist" difficiulty options

>Every "Tales of" game now includes DLC for BUY LEVELS, BUY FANTASY MONEY
>Compile heart bullshit also does this shit to a degree, also tying level cap limits to DLC
>Every game selling alternate models/skins as DLC when those would have been unlockables or hidden cheat unlocks before
>Pre-order bonuses for AAA titles being early weapon unlocks or totally new weapons unobtainable any other way

While I'll give you the "God mode" argument, you also should be able to tell me the last time a game even had a god mode option.

I honestly don't get the point of cheevos.

It's just normal game progress or a self-imposed challenge that existed previously to cheevos except now you get a DING and a stupid pop up telling you you did it that you will never look at again.

e-peen and children trying to stroke their e-peen.

Your REALLY overestimating how much fucking time is necessary to build a trigger or number check in the backround for the majority of achievements, that shit is dumb-dumb tier programming.

>the thing your failing to grasp is how much people care about the legitimacy of cheevos.

I don't think I'm failing to grasp it. I actually mentioned it in the post to which you replied:

>... However, achievements were probably invented for the same reason that cheat codes were abandoned: Autistic fuckface "gamers" who think that single-player games are serious business and that we should all care whether total strangers were able to beat one fairly.

I don't think the disappearance of cheat codes was caused by the invention of achievements, but I do think the two things have the same cause.

EELNATS

Those people from your first point are the same people that say your Dark Souls game is a sham if you summon.

Any fighting game with "unlock all fighters immediately " dlc like blazblue for example

Why does eveybody think people do achievement to brag ? I do them for fun little challenge and the feeling of completion

Remember those silly useless mystery challenges in old spyro/ratchet/jack and daxter games? That would unlock at best a big head mode nobody gave a shit about ?

Yeah well I did these, for fun and challenge

"BUT YOU COULD DO THEM WITHOUT THE ACHIEVEMENT/DEVS TELLING YOU TO "

Yeah but why ? Why defeat the final boss in less than five minute ? How would I know how long it took ? How would I decide how fast it's possible for a regular guy ,not a speedrunner that autistically calculated everything?

This is the same reason why people get upset when they lose their 100% save :all the challenges you beat are no longer accounted for by the game, sure you caught 151 pokemon and you know it,there's just no "written" proof you did and some people like to have the game remind them "yes you finished me"

>cheating
>fun
I bet you crouched in a corner with double 1817s in MW2 too.

not everyone here is a """""competitive"""" call of duty tourneyfag

>"BUT YOU COULD DO THEM WITHOUT THE ACHIEVEMENT/DEVS TELLING YOU TO "
>Yeah but why ? Why defeat the final boss in less than five minute ?
Why do it just because a pop up tells you you did?

I beat MW1 and 2 on hardest by exploiting the spawns in good chunk of the maps

Do you not allow yourself to have fun? What's wrong with using cheats?

>What's wrong with using cheats?

>cheats in singleplayer = cheats in multiplayer

retard

>cheating in single player
Why the fuck would you do that? Who are you lying to? Yourself?

How do you decide 5 minute is not only possible but also a challenge ?

yes.
this one had a cheat to play as any character/boss from the game gaining their abilities and moveset.
shit was tight.

at least Shovel Knight had the butt mode.it's nothing big butt at least it was amusing

Damn you sure convinced me with that hilarious use of green texting and that funny image.
Do you only play your games seriously and on the hardest difficulty so you can brag about being the most hardcore gamer dude?

>implying trump is going to change the dollar bills to anything but different trump expressions

I love how your shitty country is going to fall.

The point, you fucking philistine, is that cheating is BY DEFINITION wrong. That's why it's called cheating. Idiot.

>he seriously thinks people do cheats care about 'mad mlg skillz'

Dude.. you should be asking yourself the same question.

>MLG
>single player
Are cheatfags really this retarded?

Nightmare Creatures also had a "play as the enemies" cheat that was fun. Unless you played as a regular ass zombie, though, because one hit and you're knocked down for like half a minute.

Oh boy you are correct!
All that fun I had playing games with cheats enabled was wrong! It was all false, I never actually had fun all because cheating is wrong and evil!

Fuck off, murdering is wrong yet Gta is still fun. Tons of things we do in games is "wrong" by definition.

the point is that they're not zealous tourneyfags so they use it on single player for fun

The last game I played that had something similar to that was Disgaea 5. It wasn't really a secret though since you unlock a cheat shop after beating the game and it's mostly required for the hyper grind that is lategame. There was some stuff like making wierd noises when walking around though.

Fuck off with your shit, when you attempt something hard and frustrating having a small carrot to keep you going is good

I pure platiniumed bayonetta 1 in every mode despite having no achievement for it ,I just wanted to see the result screen full of pure platinum statues that would recognize that I did it. This is no different than an achievement pop up a shitty reward to motivate you through the bullshit

And I had lots of fun throwing chess pieces at my opponents instead of playing the game properly. Doesn't magically make it not wrong.

If the gameplay isn't motivation enough, maybe the game isn't actually good enough to bother playing through for all your penis waggling awards.

>single player
>tourneys
You talking about high score boards? You're generally discouraged from cheating for those as well.

You still had fun doing it though faggot? So you had fun, congratulations. Only difference with in game cheats is they don't affect other people.

>If I'm not winning, the game isn't fun!
>So I'm gonna cheat and win by default! So fun!
Kids like you are the cancer killing video games.

I beat every mission and got gold medal and never knew about cheat like this.

Fuck my childhood

>using cheats after already beating the game isn't a thing.

Playing a game on the bullshit difficulty is NEVER instantly fun, it's fun when you finnally grasp how everything works and finish it

Having the game give you a star "U DONE DID IT" when you do , a big 100% on your savefile, a different start screen anything that recognize you completed something hard feels good for most people

Otherwise nobody would give à shit about losing their 100% savefiles "urrr you did it why do you need the savefile then " for the satisfaction that the game is SITTING there ,completed AND recognize it has been completed so that everytime you boot it up you can remember "hey I did that "

no, cheating on high-score boards IS fooling yourself. I'm talking about fooling around, with a bunch of peds following you gunning down everything that comes in your way in zero gravity and hilariously one-hitting an unbeatable boss with a joke weapon.

GTA SA co-op.
>Superpunch, clown world, flying cars, people riot

Well some of us actually enjoy being challenged as opposed to receiving instant gratification. If you want "button - awesome, button - awesome" bullshit, I recommend Bioware's games.

GTA III

gunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgunsgusngusngusngunsgunsgusngusng

I'll even add that a lot of old rpgs would ALREADY give you a small useless trinket when you beat the bullshit secret boss for this VERY reason

Hell, for a well known example the only reward for catching 151 pokemon in blue /red was a simple "congrats nerd" message

Your hundred percent save file is meaningless user, unless your going back to it to play on it doing something that can only be done quickly with an end game save, like quickly accessing a level you like, or doing a new playthrough with some unlockable the game offers up.

Having a save file sitting around and not doing anything or not believe you will go back to it with it acting like it's some kind of accolade is some kind of insane, because it's value is totally personal and worthless besides.

My nigger :^)

And some of us don't even care how other people play their single player games or get ass ravaged over the thought of someone doing something we don't.

>some of us don't even care how other people play their single player games
Not OP, though.
>hay guys, do you cheat in games too? share stories below :^)))))

>it'S value is personal
EXACTLY, which is why thinking people do achievement just to brag and stroke their e-peen is ridiculous

It's a meaningless badge that I just like having as souvenir

i support this. I also hope he multiplies each bill by 10, or 100 at least.

I don't think you understand the English language very well.

I don't think you understand not being gay very well.

>Remember when games had actual cheat codes that did fun stuff in games?

I believe the discussion is about clever or fun changes made to games via the use of secret input granted by the developers. In fact, the image in OP's post doesn't actually give you any sort of advantage ingame. It's merely a cosmetic change. Feel free to continue being mad, though.

Nice
