I'm not ashamed to say i cheat...Why? Simple. lcscheatdevice makes the gaming more fun with hover cars etc, meaning i play for the fun but not to complete the game.While on the other hand i use money cheats when it takes too freaking long to earn a small amount or my save file gets screwed up.I would rather use a money cheat than spend hours trying to churn up funds.

I'm not gonna claim cheating is bad, infact it can be good too... why?Well first of cheating makes it possible to experience a game from an other perspective, which can be useful for increasing the fun-factor of a game, or just basically have a good time fooling around, like in GTA:SA... grab a car and then make it fly around like an fighter jet... or just use some sort of cheat/hacking to get past some silly side-quest to get some sort of über item which you only would be able to get if you where some japanese guy with elite skillzHowever those "people" who abuses cheats to beat the game in odd ways (say using a weapon/item which isn't availabe until alot later in the game or availabe as an replay item) or basically use god mode and then run to a forum and yell how fricking über awesome they're for beating a game in the "wrong" wayAs for myself... I might use a cheat temporarily just to keep me from going inzane each time some ridiculously hard challenge pops up, or something which I admit I do... Using godmode in Oblivion to carry alot of items from a say, looted cave and sell instead of just grabbing 1/10th of it all and run back and forth several times, basically save a little timeAnd even though almost everyone have said this already... play through the game first, then use cheats for fun... but don't use it so much so it impaires your skillz dude :P

Well... I believe that in-game cheats are all right.Like in the original Animal Crossing; the code feature let you get free items.I personally don't cheat, but if the person is having fun, then so be it. :]

Cheating offline only cheapens your gaming experience,cheating online cheapens everyone's experience.

I only cheat for event-only things, such as Mew on Pokemon games.

I only ever cheat in games when I'm bored and feel like doing something out of the ordinary, like in GTA: San Andreas, go on a massive killing spree by punching people a hundred metres. :)

It isn't bad as long as you don't do it in a online game.

cheating is the biggest way to ruin fun and just blow through games that are meant to be played for hours

You know it sorta is bad because the people who make these games for us want us to play the game as they made it.

It's a video game. Wtf cares if you cheat. As long as it's not against other people, then that's just wrong.

on super confusing games like golden sun, i guess it's ok otherwise it's gonna take you forever to finish the game. but some like pokemon on getting all starter pokemon, i think that's just stupid. desperate more likely.

Cheating is only a bad thing if your girlfriend catches you. If you are in GOD MODE and your girl friend happens to walk into the room while you are playing video games with your eyes glued to the monitor wearing nothing but underwear, she will certainly dump you and find someone who has a life.

I used to use cheats a lot, but now i realise that these games are meant to be PLAYED not cheated. now the only time i cheat is if i've been stuck in the same place for days or months, and in that case i'll only check a walkthrough for that part. the other times i cheat are when i've already completed the game, and want to unlock funny things like large heads, etc.

cheating takes away the feeling of satisfaction you get by completing a game or even beating single levels and bosses.

I personally am against cheating in all forms. The only exception to that is if you're really struggling in an offline game. If you cheat online you deserve to be banned on first offense.
