Okay maybe I am weird...

Although I have nothing against consoles,I am solely a PC Gamer. My reason for saying "maybe I am weird" is this...I never have, and never plan to use "cheat codes". My best friend's usual response after I get/install a new game is "Lets look for codes!" I tell him if he wants codes, he can get his own computer and his own copy of the game. I prefer a game to be a challenge, and I also like to earn what I get (I guess 14 yrs in the military will do this to you lol). I was just curious if anyone else out there feels like I do. :roll:

The only games that I cheated on were the GTA titles. My friends and I would complete each game without cheats and then just use them to cause chaos. I agree they can ruin the challenge of a game, but when that challenge has been met, they add a little bit of spice.

As Spock would say "Highly illogical"

I don't know, I'm the complete opposite. I've enjoyed beating games without codes, but at the same time I've enjoyed many games much more when I cheated my whole way through. True it takes out the challenge but it's a great way to just unwind after a long day. Different strokes...

i don't use cheats unless i beat the game

just to try them out :P

Once I beat a game I like to use codes

I guess I am somewhat like you, altho its not "just" cheats.

The main reason why I play games is to be challanged, in whatever way a game can, be it puzzles, twitch gameplay memorising patterns and such. I never really use cheats.

I love games that are challanging, (altho I Normaly dislike games made purely to hard, not because of gameplay, but because of design)

Games Like SS2, STALKER, some of the first rainbow six, platformers, survival horror and basicly all games that have puzzles, are my kind of game ^^

I like games where you have a very real chance of dying, and that it is not due to the game you die, but because you misjudged... challange I think...

I never really liked games that hold your hand, and treats you like a retard I really dont like lengthy tutorials explaining every little aspect of the game, and thus removing the thrills of figuring something out on your own.

I never really Liked Bioshock due to that, a fps where you cant die? really? nor am I a fan of health regeneration in most games.

Sometimes games are slightly bugged, and you might need a code, or command, that I am fine with (like the tendency to be stuck in Icewind dale)

i hate cheat codes. i just wastes the twenty-sixty dollars i spent on a game. i also enjoy the challenge. i want to be able to say i beat it without cheating.

cheat codes aren't evil; it really depends what you want from the game.

if i'm serious, and want to play for the challenge, i don't use them.

if it's a big multiplayer party game i really just got to play with my friends, then yeah, i will.

i'm more of a console gamer, so this might be different.

Thanks to all of you for your input. I expected to get blasted really bad for this. I agree with whatReiji-Arisu said: "Games are meant to be beatable without codes"
