yes

11 times as a matter of fact.

I still can't get it working for Unity. Help.

I used CE once to respec my Underrail character because I didn't feel like starting over for the tenth time. That's the only time I've used it though.

I use CE all the time for one distinct thing : slow motion.

Any fucking game gets instantly 294832403850 times better with toggleable slowmo.

Enjoy the trojans and spyware, I guess.

Nope, but I have used it to get that stupid achievement in Final Fantasy IX where you had to get 1000 jumps in a row in that skip rope game.

Provide proofs to your biased claims.

Used it to experiment with builds in ds1, to archive first person n games that otherwise dont have it, used it for the difficulty mod for kingdoms of amalur very handy

Yes, to prevent me from having to do repetitive shit like "collect 30x rare items that only enemies drop" which would take hours.

It's fun to use it in Dark Souls. I like to put the binoculars zoom effect on my weapon in PvP.

Last time I used it was yesterday, to get some offsets from Gigantic for an aimbot im working on.

fuckikng what? examples of having toggleable slowmo?

I downloaded it and got tons of viruses and spyware like Mixi DJ and BigSeek

Yeah, when the game is shit and I just want to go through it quickly, like the flavour of the month games, rehashes, and dudebro casual garbage.

Mostly because of frustratingly difficult shit revolving around scripted events, QTEs, or broken balance.

I used it to hack in maplestory when I was like 13

if the achievement is so stupid then why did you feel the need to get it through whatever means

No
but I abused save states when playing gba games

I mostly use it to get past annoyances, like the timers on equipment development in MGSV, I also use it to dick about in games I'm otherwise finished with.

No, but I use it in Dark Souls to get the Covenant of Artorias early and cheat in both items that are annoying to get and armor that you can't get normally in the game.

I'm using it to play through Fortune Summoners with infinite health because it's too hard to dodge attacks

Nice proof, faggot.

I used cheat engine to get this 5.

is there a softban system in dark souls (the first)?

Yes, to avoid spiders in one game. I fucking hate spiders and they jumped up of the screen. Shit was scary.
Also i was like 11.

Nope

cheated in I Am Setsuna recently because i didn't want to put up with the horseshit grinding anymore.

>playing dark souls 1
>get to anor londo
>get invaded by a guy who 1 hits me with a scythe, which also curses me so im stuck with half health
>use cheat engine to give myself the thing that cures the curse

I use CE regularly, once I've completed a game I like to go through again and fuck with things and see what weird shit I can get to happen.
Like games where you have an 'unobtainable'item that costs way more than you'd possibly be able to grind for at that point, I wanna see how the game handles you having infinite money and buying one.
Usually nothing but sometimes you'll get special message or softlock a game.

Only time I used it on first playthrough was Hollow Knight. Fuck the whole lose everything until to backtrack all the way back to get it.
I hate that mechanic is games. Once I died to my shade, I just changed my Geos to what it was before I died.

No shits given, it's single player.

I know I'm a stupid asshole for this but people who are scared of shit like spiders in a video game piss me off. Snakes kind of creep me out sometimes but not inn a fucking video game. Like how can you be actually scared of something that isn't real? My friend is scared of water in video games even when he knows nothing is in it and it pisses me off so fucking much because it makes no sense. Phobias are so fucking retarded god damn it. I dunno why this makes me so irrationally angry though, I guess I'm a hypocrite because it's just like being irrationally scared of stupid shit like spiders.

Same here but with the stupid chocobo racing in FF X

>Spend hundreds of hours in Binding of Isaac Afterbirth
>Unlock everything fair and square
>Missing picking up 3 items to get the last achievement
>One devil room item, one angel room item, and an other thing
>Try to grind floors to get the items
>Give up
>Use cheat engine or something to manually inject the three items into the game
>Pick them up
>Get 1001% achievement
>Never play BoI again

Using it for things like that is fair. When things have such a low chance of happening, and it all comes down to luck, not skill, there is no shame in cheating, because at the end of the day, all low spawnrates/drop chances does is take up time.

He cheated to be able to do that so this isn't cheating, imo.

Haven't cheated since the Game Genie.
At most I've used the console to fix some bugs in the game, like spawning a lost item or something.

Only times I've ever fucked with it are to make Dark Souls builds quick because fuck playing through the entire game just to get a PVP character up and running every single time.

Dark Souls has absolutely no official cheat protection. Literally none. People use Watchdog to catch obvious shit, but that's not perfect and people can get around it.

No. I honestly never even looked into that thing. Is it like a modern equivalent of game genie or what?

I used it to max all abilities in Fable.
I replayed the game normally lately, and I still ended up with the same result without cheating, lol.

Dozens of times.

Does opening console count? I've noclipped myself past a few obstacles I couldn't be bothered to waste time on

Not to "get through a tough spot" but I frequently use it to add money in games with unlockable stuff. For example, in Senran Kagura the first thing I did in the two games I played was add a ton of money and buy all the customization items, because in a game where half the fun is playing dress up there's no way in hell I'll grind for money to buy one item at a time.

More interesting to use cheat engine to fuck around with games vs just straight cheating.

Is there a good tutorial on how to actually use it?

I've used it in EDF4.1

I know how to play and not getting my team killed so no one noticed.

it comes with a tutorial that easily teaches basic stuff, like how to find health/ammo/etc values and change them. the later steps of the tutorial were too hard for me to understand though

Pretty much. Except without the codes and shit. It's memory editing, so it can change the value of anything within the game, such as game time scale or commonly, money. Levels, exp, ammo.

Well shit, I should have looked harder. Thanks.

avoiding crashes on DUKE 3D
I had to clip through some walls and avoid the crash spots to continue in the level. kek

I used it in Plants vs Zombies just for fun

I use it to get through the easy spots too.

I use it to get through boring shit rather than difficult stuff.

No because i'm not a fucking casual pleb.

Git gud.

What are you talking about.

I used the speedhack function all the time in RPGs with slow walk speed
Never used it on a multiplayer game, though

Cheating is only acceptable if used to grief.

>then get banned

Ubisoft aren't funny people.

Does anyone have that image of the white redditor who tries to "roast" his friend's baby in the style of black twitter?
Fucking hilarious.

I mostly use it to avoid grinding and to cheat in web games
I also use it to look at panties in Neptunia but I don't know if it's relevant

I only use cheats in Single player offline only games. If the game has any type of multiplayer even forced like Souls games, then I won't.
And I prefer trainers.

no, but check this 6

I didn't do it to get past any hard parts but it could be argued that I made the game easy
I bought my nephew omega ruby and decided I wanted to try out a pokemon game again so I bought myself a 3ds and the alpha sapphire, also ordered a cheat engine thing for the ds because I decided I wanted to play with a Pikachu, and the three original starters as my team.
I wanted to have fun but you can say I made an already easy game a joke

Some flash games but they started adding checks and i was too dumb to do the more advanced stuff.

I use it in most single player games
I don't like to grind money or shit in a solo game, sometime I use it to play some games faster, it's fun on some games

>when the game is shit
Why even play it then? Why not go actually play a game you like? Do people actually waste the time and hard drive space for things they don't like?

Not him but prepare for the answer to be so he can argue about why it's shit on Sup Forums.
I constantly see people ranting about the whole "how do you know it's shit unless you play it" vs "lol, you played it for 100 hours it must have been good!", but the people who play into that are missing the larger point. If a game is shit, ignore it and move on. Ranting endlessly about why it's shit isn't going to accomplish anything. In fact, it's just going to shit up the threads made by people who find value in it.

>gotta walk through huge ass desert
>all the enemies are boring
>it's a solid 15 minutes of walking

why?

I like to cheat in RPGs, I love to feel like a god. No god mode though, just filthy rich and overpowered stats.

forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=24363

All the time for nearly every game going back to the early 90s (not CE back then)

i dont use it at all but lately xcom forced me to manage my base with external money, so countries dont leave, no cheats in combat tho, i feel like i should play once again without cheats

>pony avatar the size of a goddamn bus
Fuck it, hope the downloads gets hijacked and filled with so much malware the whole thing fucking dies in a fire and is forgotten by everyone on Earth

>a program that manipulates allocated memory is identified as a virus
How can someone be this tech illiterate?

I have valuable data in my computer's memory. Manipulating it to the ends of the creator of this program sounds shady as fuck, dude.

data that you would consider valuable isn't stored in allocated memory you retard
and it isn't to the ends of the creator it's towards your ends

>Manipulating it to the ends of the creator of this program sounds shady as fuck
Are you mentally impaired?
Manipulating memory is the basic premise of cheat engine, you retarded fuck.

I've never cheated in a video game, it doesn't even cross my mind.

I used it for a speedhack in the witcher 3 collecting all the treasures in the ocean @ Skellige. Other than that, no.

Ok you can both calm down now. I'll just continue to play games legit.
Rolling the dice like this with one of your most valuable possessions just so you can ruin games for other people may be worth it in your minds, but not mine.

Is also the basic premises of most viruses

I regularly use cheat engine when I play Wolfenstein The New Order because the ammo placement in this game is beyond all kinds of fucked.

>rolling the dice
you are dumb
accept this
>ruin games for other people
cheat engine isn't just used for multiplayer games

Yeah and?
If you don't trust the program just write your own cheat engine in C or C++.

I got bored in Shadow of Mordor so I used it in the Bright Lord DLC so screw around with the orcs.

No, only to get the addresses for my bots.

>Download Cheat Engine
>Came bundled with a bunch of malware
>Took me a whole day to clean pc

not him but as a kid I had a hotkey for slomo on garry's mod and it was fucking awesome

>I have valuable data in my computer's memory
this is bait

Never used cheat engine, but I did use cheats when I was a little shit. Mostly things like GTA, back when I didn't even understand english. I did all my games later in life legit tho, no bullshit in my accomplishement collection.
I have nothing against people using cheats in single player games, shit is supposed to bring entertainment after all. Shame nowadays you don't get to do that, devs don't do cheats anymore. Everything is instantly datamined, nothing is sacred/secret. Doing it all legit is one thing, using a broken ass minigun instead of throwing shoes at them straight from beginning is another, both can be really, really fun.
I'm just past that point when I want to be invulnerable and throw infinite nukes in all directions, now I want to feel vulnerable, counting my bullets, having to cash in those little favours you can get in games. You know, hard difficulty.

Filthy causal

hbr.org/2016/09/do-you-know-what-your-companys-data-is-worth

Constantly, but mostly to cut down on monotony not really to get through tough spots since modern games rarely have those.

I was replaying SotN the other day, first time in like a decade and I got to the point when I wanted a rare drop off something, well I could either kill it run out of the room and kill it again over and over again for an hour, or I could load up cheat engine set my luck to 999 and kill it about a dozen times. The other time I use it is to speed hack, basically any JRPG is better when played at 2x or 3x speed, it just cuts down on all the boring intro to fight and victory now collect your exp and loot screens while also making the fights themselves flow at a much more tolerable pace. I'll also use it to just hack my money in games where grinding for money becomes a progression obstacle. Oh if you want to get further, go craft that item 50 times, or if you want to progress gather me 25 of that item. I'm not doing that shit I'll gather 3 scan for 3, drop 1, scan for 2, gather another scan for 3, drop 2, scan for 1 and bam now I've got the address isolated and now I can instantly have 99 of them without spending an hour waiting for the fucking thing to drop.

I've gotten to the age where I feel like I've paid my dues to the grinding gods and cheat engine is a great way to exempt yourself from that shit.

Yeah man I too love installing shit without paying even minimum attention what I am doing

>data is stored on RAM

>and he keeps making retarded posts
Damn, I bet you're american.

I only use Cheat engine to test out builds in games or skip mandatory grinding or quests that force me to grind for a specific item.
I also use it to level out character XP in JRPGs that dont have XP sharing in back rows.

Basically i use it to bypass anything that i think is a unfun waste of time.

When did I say that?

Epic, dude. Epic.

Used CE in Dark Souls to give me whatever I wanted and fuck around with big heads and shit. Fuck grinding for items for hours if I can just cheat it in, played the game to death anyway.
