God Mode: the paradox of a game.

I only cheat in RPGs if money is a pain. I NEVER use levelling codes or health ones. That completely wrecks RPGs IMHO.

Armored Cores, as of late, I have cheated in almost nonstop. Health, no over-heating, infinite boosters, infinite cash, never overweight... It's fun to build the best damn thing possible and not worry about its repercussions =p

I cheat in FPS games rarely. I'm very, very good at them. Call of Duty doesn't even *need* a God mode. I've played on the hardest difficulty and died almost a handful of times in a complete run-through. I've played Jedi Academy on the highest difficulty and didn't get killed until about halfway into it. And that's supposed to be damned hard on highest difficulty.

I do use it on console games very often at times, though. For example, Resident Evil's. I could *never* get used to the clunky control scheme. Even #4, in all its awesomeness, I had a gripe with not being able to move while aiming a la Splinter Cell. I got ganked my first time playing because I didn't know the controls.

Played on through it with god mode and I still fucking loved that game to death. I got to the hardest difficulty and played on through somewhat. I admit, the chainsaw dudes pissed me off. They could still kill me with god mode and the couple times they got me really left me uneasy =p One of those was...

Spoiler:

They give you two paths to take, left & right after a house is stormed that you take defense in. The left path has allll the zombie guys and if you go into this ladder-pit, chainsaw guys come out of EVERYWHERE. I assume you were supposed to die here.

But anyhow, I cheated the whole way through. It didn't bug me. But once I got to the hard difficulty, I found I had become damn good at playing it. You'd think god mode would make you get sloppy, but I was melee'ing and head-shotting every other trigger-pull.

Oh yeah. I cheated to get infinite money in it too, as well as health ;D Still loved it.

It can diminish shooters. FPS games are all about reaction and in some cases, thinking on your feet if its your first play-through. I'll cheat on some action games. Hell, it's become a habit of mine to cheat on horror games. Dunno why, but I like getting a kick out of a freaky scene and not get killed at the same time.

((See Resident Evil 1, hallway at the beginning where dogs leap through the window. Gave me a heart attack when I played that on PS1. And I got slaughtered ;_; ))

Jam it back in, in the dark.
