No, i find they add replayability. And in some cases, can make a boring game more fun.

As long as they arent cheats that can be used in online multiplayer or anything like that. Because thats just sad.

Seriously, maybe 8 years or so? And even then - out of the curiosity to achieve some rather hidden things.

Anyone desperate enough to use cheats probably shouldn't have gotten the game in the first place. Its fun at first, but it really ruins everything after you realize you don't need to beat anything anymore. .....imo

they take the sence of playing the game out of it cause you just enter cheats to help you beat the game. Its fun to use after you've beaten the game i guess

I admit I use to use cheat codes last gen, but it started ruining the experience of beating games on my own merit. I think it was Spiderman on the Gamecube that was the last game I cheated on, haven't done it since then.

So long the cheats are offline stuff, i'm fine with it.

Don't see how it could ruin my experience with a game if (offline) cheats where available for a game. It's my decision to use them or not.

I which more games started adding fun cheats like in the old days.

I wish there were some cheats for FIFA 09 for extra experience points to fix crappy default player ratings. Does that count? haha

I have no problem with people using cheats after already beating a game without cheats. I think it is lame for people to use cheats to help them beat a game. And even worse is when people brag about beating a game after using cheats to help them.

i usually use cheats after i beat a game or if i couldn't beat the game with out one. there meant to enhance the game experience and to be used with great discretion.

The only one I have used cheats in is GTA:SA. I don't use them when I play GTA4. It messed with certain things in SA that I didn't like.

Do you remember Descent 3? You could use cheats in game, but you couldn't finish a level using them. That's a clever idea.

Unless they unlock Daredevil and Silver Surfer, yes! I've gotten so good at games that putting in cheats would be a waste of time.

This is almost the same as asking. Does Gamefaq ruin the game for you?

I used to use cheats in the GTA III and Vice City, but now I forgot that games even had cheat codes.

On first playthroughs and in Multiplayer, they ruin the game completely for me, and even more so now that achievements are available, cheats usually disable achievements which bothers me even further. I want to enjoy a game to how it was made, not fly through like some ultra god that I somehow became. After beating the game I may use them for a little replayability depending on the extremety of the cheats. But for the most part I don't like them.

Yes, especially in shooters. If there's no challenge there's no fun imo.

I have different opinions about cheats. In some cases, they make face-melting hard games playable, and in other games, they completely ruin the experience

Cheats should only ever be used after a game has been beaten to add replayability.
