Y'know I been thinking about something lately that kinda bothers me about this new generation of gaming. There's not cheats! I mean, one of the fun things I liked about lots of games was that after you beat the game you unclock all these different cheats to make your next play through all the more fun and interesting. Remember Goldeneye for N64? That big-head mode was hilarious! One of my favorite things about the MGS series was unlocking the stealth camo and running through my next play through CQCing the unsuspecting soldiers. Oh, the fun. I'm not a noob who wants to spam my way through all my games; I enjoy the challenges. However, I would like to run through KZ2 with infinite ammo and invincibility just to show those Higs who the man is. I'd even settle for a cheat that turns all the helgans pink. I don't care. I just want something different to look forward to on my next play through.

Developers just don't seem interested in implementing cheats or the use of cheat codes anymore. Heck, you don't really see Easter Eggs anymore, either. Even GTA4 (a franchise known for extensive cheats) was lacking terribly in its cheat list.There's no Action Replay for PS3, either. I just miss getting to play a game on my termsfrom time to time. Doe anyone else miss it?

You can already do that by playing the game on 'Easy' and slicing your way through entire levels.

As far as cheats are concerned, I don't miss them at all. In my whole gaming life, I must have use cheats 5 to 6 times.

I suppose in a way not having cheats is good. But it would still be fun to have infinate health for really hard games, and then get the elite trophy,lol :lol:

But look what they did to the Gears of War cheaters. They got a cheater tag on their XL account so anybody can see that they cheat. Now, do you want that?

For MGS 4 you can still get the camo and the bandana. You can also get some pretty interesting guns. The only thing i wish it had would being able to use Raidens awesome sword lol. Everytime i thought he was gone i was hoping that Snake would take his sword.

I really got to say I am not that big on cheats, but don't have a problem with other people using them. Just as long as it isn't online.

I do like when a game rewards you though, gives you something for your effort. Though I have it when it is concept art, that is like getting clothes for christmas.

I think the reason why cheats are at a decline are because back in the 16 bit era games were very strict in the number of lives you had and thanks to issues caused by overheating adapters and the likes you couldn't really play your game more than four or five hours....in addition there weren't too many games that had a "save" feature... In order to avoid redoing everything over and over again the cheats/codes proved to be a useful tool... We don't really face these problems now so we don't really need cheats.

Haha! That's hilarious! Were they cheating online or something? 'cause that's not what I'm talking about. Multiplayer cheating is big no no and should be punishable by eternal damnation. However, a nice single-player campaign that offers various cheats and extra content to be used upon completion is more what I seek. Like in the MGS series. Even a password you have to thumb in at the start menu. Of course, trophies and achievements should be disable while cheats are activated. That would be unfair to allow rewards while cheating. I just want the cheat to be the reward. I liked running through DOOM with godmode turned on (remember how your avatar's eyes would turn yellow... wicked....) and pawn the hell out of some demon spawns. That's all. No online stuff. And, no, I certainly don't want my good gamertag to be tarnished with the cheater's star of david.

Yeah i was just mentioning that while we're on the cheats subject. I do understand what you mean, but i believe i've kinda grown from that. I don't know why, i used to do it all the time but not after starting to play the PS3.
