just wondering how you guys felt about people using other's saved data they get from the net (which is unbelievably simple to do on the ps3). personally, i don't have all the time in the world and so once i normally finish a game and don't plan on playing it very much afterwards, if it has extras (e.g. metal gear solid iv has items that provide invisibility as well as infinite ammo) that are particularly difficult or require a large investment of time, i just download somebody else's saved game from gamefaqs and just play around with the cool new stuff i didn't have time to get.

the only reason i do this, as i stated, is because i don't have the time to get the items, especially for certain games like metal gear solid iv where you have to devote tons of hours and have to be amazingly skilled at the game to get some of the best extras. others, like uncharted with it's medal/achievement system, make it fun to get these bonuses and don't make it insanely difficult either.

the main reason i bring this up now is because it seems with the new trophy system that new games might start implementing a burnout paradise-esque system where you cannot under any circumstances download a save from the net and play it in order to make sure ppl don't have trophies show up on their profiles that they didn't get themselves. i just really hope that they find a way to not have trophies show up when you download game saves, that'd be perfect.

I think that everybody should enjoy their Games as they want, no matter if they cheat or if they download some others saves. I personally do neither. To be honest, I don't even care if somebody could get trophies from other players that way :/

I don't care one way or the other, just never could understand the appeal of having a game played for me.

Agreed. Like MGS4, I beat it once fairly and then I downloaded a 100% complete gamesave.
