Cheat codes were such a nice option for games with highly questionable difficulty or progression.
I used Cheat Engine on my last playthrough of Borderlands 3 cause no way was I gonna go through that entire slog of leveling up again.
I just wanted to blast some bad guys.
Maybe I should try that. It looks like such a nice series of games but I don’t have time for the grind. I just want to nuke everything and then go to bed.
They are fun and I will say that it’s kinda worth it to play normally at least once, but the games tend to drag a bit sometimes.
I had already played 3 before so I didn’t feel too bad about doing a cheat run.
Mods can be an option but some are harder than others to use. I do find that a lot of mainstream games have a pretty good range of difficulties these days (including story mode etc), but definitely not all games.
Plus one to cheat engine, I don’t have time to grind materials
Mods sometimes another person’s save if playing the final ending requires bunch of collecting I don’t want to do like Arkham Knight.
Mods and trainers.
Yeah, I use remodeling for some single player games. It’s basically cheats for everything
on single player stuff I use cheat engine to skip the grind any time it’s impacting the fun.
I rarely play only online or multi player because no pause is not compatible with kids
Cheat Engine on PC.
On console you pray that the devs added some accessibility options.
I use trainers from chest happens mainly. Only because I have a lifetime membership because I bought it decades before they did prescriptions, other then that I use cheat engine.
Or mods that alter the game to make it more accessible and enjoyable
Cheat codes are just low tech micro transactions because they would have a 1-900 number to call for them.
Nah, just bring a pen and paper to the news stand and copy down cheats from “Tips and Tricks” magazine by hand.
Did people actually call those numbers? We couldn’t afford that shit.
Honestly, I mostly just play a lot of old games that still support consoles, cheat codes, or mods.
Game Conqueror on Linux, Cheat Engine on Windows, and save states on Virtualbox and emulators.
