Cheating habits?

Just as a query, how often do people cheat and when in the game time line? Personally, I try to get as far as I can on a game before I consider using AR codes. I only cheat regularly after the game ending.

I don't cheat at all anymore, but when I was younger I used to cheat to my hearts content... Then I realised that cheating completely spoils the game.. So that's my life story.~What's the point..

I see your point, that's why I try to hold out on cheats until I need them.

Yeah me too, it completely destroys the point.

nice one....

I like useful cheats - like for example, playing Hotel Dusk, & there's a cheat that lets you advance the text by clicking anywhere on the screen (instead of only on a teensy arrow in the corner of the screen).I'll also use cheats to get items that are otherwise impossible to get - like a few of the NES games in Animal Crossing. ;3And my favorite cheats of all - codes to get past anti-piracy! XD

I normally use cheats when i get to a hard part then get disgusted at myself and delete the game

Infinite money is usually the one cheat I always look for :)Then when I get pretty annoyed at pointless random encounters when say, you are solving a puzzle to progress in the game by going to & from a location fetching stuff to put in something then as you go pointless, stupid random battles occur which are more of a nuisance than an actual challenge. In times like these I go for a "no random battles" cheat so I can progress with my sanity still intact.Finally, if the game requires me to level grind THEN I lay out the "Get maxed level" cheat code coupled with the other two I previously discussed above.My justification for cheating on an RPG (console RPGs only mind you) is that I'm in it for the game's story/plot not in requiring me to slave for countless hours so I can follow the rest of the story later on.

I use game trainers when I'm trying out a game mod, not always though.Makes it fun to spam up the new units and sorts... >:D

I usually only use cheats after I beaten the game at least once.
USUALLY.

Same here
I use them if I really needed to.
Also when i finish a game I use them and own everything

i cheat if i get stuck and the game starts to get tedious because of a certain part. Otherwise never.

i cheat mostly for money and items... like in new ds the legend of zelda game i wasent gonng wait till half the game is over to get the new parts (but wont let me use em anyway) or if i get anoyed so i can just fell like im in control... plus i like to have certain pokemon on the games alot i also cheat if im bored and got nothing better to do so i just use cheats for fun rilly. whats the point in useing cheats on a fully compleated game anyway?

i cheat with call of dutyWALLHACK!

I used to cheat when I was a kid. Now I see it's pointless and it spoils whole fun :P

I like the idea of the gamers V programmers, it's also nice to see not as many people hack as I thought or maybe you just aren't admitting to it ¬_¬ Thanks everybody for your input.
