Well I guess you can do what you like but I don't see the point in cheating. I buy the games to get a challenge and plenty of entertainment. Cheating, using codes or editors, pretty much destroys the fun. I admit that hex editing can be useful sometimes to rescue a game when you've completely messed it up. [img]smile.gif[/img] It certainly has come in andy over at the W&W board from time to time.

I think person should not cheat ever,unless he has a bug in the game.

So if you can`t do something:
1)Try
2)Try harder

Walktrough`s are good but usually spoil a lot for someone who is new to the game-BG series for instance.

But I found a site that has loads of hacks for many different on-line games. So would you be tempted to use the hack or not. I thought about it and decided not to use it. But I am sure people out there would have used it. They may think why not every one else uses it so why not make it fair.

In online-play I'm anti-hacking. It doesn't make games more fair than they were. If you can't win I'd either search an easier server or just practice more. I don't care about single player as you're not in (sort of) a match with others.

People who use online hacks in fair multiplayer games should be permanently cut-off of any internet connection. Also, people who do not play fair in any way whatsoever on online game should have their internet-connection physically cut through!! (Remember battle.net double-discers anyone??)

LoL! Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not a malicious guy [img]graemlins/1drunk.gif[/img]

It's just that some people are hell-bend on destroying other peoples fun through worthless, childish and irresponsible means like hacking games. What possible fun could it bring you to be the nr.1 games while everyone knows you've cheated your way to the top! Remember Starcraft's ladder-system? Some gamers used cheating to get to the Nr.1 spot, just so no one else could get there legitimately. Also, they made sure they had a score of 2000+!!! The only way to get a score of 2000+ is the win from the nr.2 on the list over 400 times!! No player can do that for real....

So, screw hackers! They're too annoying to be allowed on the internet...

If it's an online game, it's just wrong. You don't use cheats in sports to get ahead, do you? I equate cheating in an online game to drug use: you get an unfair advantage, and if you win, you don't get as much satisfaction.

If it's a single player game, then sure, go ahead. I personally won't use them the first play through the game (unless I'm incredibly frustrated), but some people do have more fun when cheating through a single player experience.
