Who else is just shamelessly cheating in singleplayer games now.
I got bored of starfield, so I gave my character every perk I wanted to the max level, and 2 million credits to spend freely on ships, and infinite carry weight so I didn't have to think about what I picked up
And Now I'm having fun. Now I don't think.
Before that, I played Baldur's Gate 3 and on my second playthrough I gave my character "hero mode" which is basically god mode but not completely. Now I pass every skill check, and 1 shot enemies.
I don't think I can go back. The power fantasy is too addicting. This is so much better.
Why bother even playing just watch one of those overpowered isekai
What am I missing from starfields combat. It's just fricking jank ass fallout. It's neither satisfying or challenging. The only part that's fun is running around with a shotgun.
As for Baldur's Gate I've already played the game once and just want to experiences anything I've missed. As much as the combat is fun it's kind of time consuming and I'd rather just rush through it.
imagine playing doom and having to worry about your level and exp, the rating of your weapon, 100s of collectibles, crafting, your character build,, etc, etc
modern gaming is all fluff to hide that we havent progressed an inch since the basic gameplay of point gun and shoot baddies
unless a new mechanic can improve on that basic gameplay loop, i dont mind cheating to get rid of it
>imagine being a Black person incapable of focusing on more than one thing at a time
>imagine having the brain of a 2 year old and getting fooled by fluff
>100s of collectibles, crafting
this is shit, I agree
now, a doom with deep RPG mechanics that have an impact on the gameplay, your interactions with the world and all the different game systems, how you move, what weapons you can use, skills, etc. (I'm not talking about roleplaying as in reading a book in between boring combats and having sex with npcs) would be pretty cool, I think
The closest I can think of is Project Warlock.
the chance of sex
>I Used a Console Command And Now I'm the World's Strongest?!?
are the perks even good in starfield to warrant cheating them in? in fallout 4 i hit level 80 something and had so many points to spend but all of the skills were such unimaginative trash i left a lot of points unspent.
That's exactly why I gave myself the perks. Leveling is fricking stupidly time consuming and you basically only level up through combat, so that fact that 90% of the perks have nothing to do with combat is moronic.
Anyway I just wanted to date my curiosity, now I know that gun customization is somehow even worse than fricking fallout 4. Space suit customization is LITERALLY nothing. And space ship customization is just an arbitrary barrier for no reason.
That's ignoring the fact that you need to level up a perk 4 times through 4 levels, then go to a research station and dump random rare resources in large quantities all so you can discover that it was all so you could add a fancy wooden chair to your outpost.
Starfield was designed by making a baby between EA, and Ubisoft. It's fricking evil, stupid, annoying time consuming piece of shit.
Cheating in singleplayer is just experiencing the game a different way. Anyone who says it's immoral or anything similar is just flat-out wrong.
This.
Playing PS2-era Grand Theft Auto with cheat codes (the "definitive" cheat code experience of the 2000s) is a fundamentally different game that you're playing for a different reason. Even when I was a teenager playing like that, eventually I'd get bored enough to want to experience it the "intended" way anyway. It's brilliant design when the devs make a game that is equally enjoyable both legit and cheating.
I guess, but for me its boring since it makes it way too easy
i cheated in a pokemon firered game to give me all the starters, legendaries and a few other powerful ones at the start.
frick you, i don't want to grind for scyther or snorlax.
it's also fun to see how it changes the difficulty in the game
The only time I would ever cheat in a video game is to make it harder like GTA3's riot cheats or spawning huge waves of enemies in Dark Souls. I will admit that I got pretty close to using cheat engine to give me infinite orbs in Rance 6 though
Everyone can agree that dark souls gameplay is fair and feel rewarding. Bethesda gameplay does not and trying to play fair just reminds you of how limited it all is.
Playing on easy is the only way I can stomach the game. At no point is the gameplay remarkable.
I usually just turn on all cheat except infinite hp
same. I got fricking tired of doing the outpost exp grind and used console to give me 20 levels cause frick this game you need level 50+ to unlock the best ship parts even if you already have piloting and ship design level 4 I just wanted to build my cool ship I invested literally every skill point in the pilot skill tree background BOUNTY HUNTER and ZERO anything else I want to roleplay a pilotchad I WILL roleplay a pilotchad frick this level gated shit literal Black person tier design I will NOT waste any more time on outpost bullshit FRICK you Todd and frick your pajeets
I cheat in every game possible I don’t give a shit I play game’s to have fun and cheating is fun
whenever I get stuck in single player Half Life mods I just noclip and set godmode on
Nah but I'm getting through school with the help of ChatGPT -senpai.
what subjects do you use gpt in?
object programming and advanced calculus
You do realise that thing's just a language model, right? The math is going to be completely fricked.
I have 4.0 and it works
hmm
Games where I feel the urge to cheat are usually not ones that I enjoy very much in the first place. From what I've seen of soifield, I would definitely cheat instantly because I'm not motivated to git gud at some clunky FPS game.
I had to cheat in the new legend of Zelda it was so boring you can't build anything good without spending hours collecting rocks in an empty cave. Didn't even end up finishing it the content is so bad or just doesn't exist
I was the exact opposite many-many years ago. I shamelessly cheated in singleplayer games like adding money, godmode, zero cooldowns for abilities, overpowered dev items, etc. It was indeed fun.
Nowadays however I play games for the challenge/immersion. I never cheat unless I'm stuck in something (ie Skyrim, Fallout) or the game has some sort of similar bug that locks my progression on accident and not by design.
I love playing Kenshi for example. Older me would have game the main character max stats and infinite money for the power fantasy. These days I always try to limit myself to keep the character underpowered for some time because I love the story of becoming strong/wealthy over time. The essential "hero's journey" is much more appealing to me and the end results of being strong becomes much better if it isn't granted immediately.
>I was the exact opposite many-many years ago.
Same. I cheated a lot. Even when I was a kid. There was a NES game Double Dragon III: if you press many buttons simultaneously you can warp levels. I also "beat" Full Throttle and Grim Fandango with a walkthrough. I grew out of it eventually, cheating wasn't very fun. I use cheats occasionally, but only for practical things like unstucking characters in Skyrim.
You realize you need to do it manually to mold your brain? Careful with that.
I use console commands when playing Starsector to get blueprints I want without raiding the same industry over and over again.
Every time I've started cheating in a singleplayer game I got bored of it and quit shortly afterwards so I don't anymore.
Every computer club had a cheat list for games like gta and literally nobody ever was going around and sperging out about it. But god forbid you use some weird console commands in cs 1.6.
I often cheat in singplayer games if they have some moronic grindwall for content, i'll just speed up the game twice with cheat engine. I'd do this for PoE. Couldnt go back from playing at x1,5 speed in grimdawn and chronicon.
Monster hunter dos gates important village progression behind multiple rare drops from a single monster, as well as needing the same thing, again several times over, for every piece of its equipment.
In order to advance the story and craft three pieces of gear, I had to hunt it around 200+ times. I lost count.
I savestated that shit with the emulator on 10x speed. This is peak jap insect design, completely baffling and inexcusable abuse. I would have hated it back in 2006 and I hate it now. Ain't no way I'm sitting through that legit. It is absolutely no wonder how they've managed to kill people with some mmo's.
There is difference between blatantly cheat out the game and removing shitty parts of the game
I removed stamina in TOTK and couldn't be happier
I think i will also adjust armor upgrading cost since i use shitty sets anyway and mat grind to be fair sucks
Once i start replaying WOTR i'm planning to one shot every filler encounter
This
This
TOTK is a better experience when you just cheat yourself full batteries
The whole point of Monster Hunter game is to be autistic grinding simulator
Take that away and there is no game anymore
I disagree with you. To me, monster hunter is about progression, not fighting some shitty congalala for over 200 times wasting your life away just to get to the next part of the game. Thankfully they've learned since then.
Weight limits are shit, just get rid of them. If the AI puts up a good fight regardless of the character skills that the player has then no reason to not max out the character skills and let it come down to player skill as to how they get on.
Solution to grindning is a good gameplay. Just look at armored core. Bosses are so much fun that every time I beat a boss I just wanna fight it again.
If you have fun then go for it. Personally I get bored if I play something like Rimworld and just cheatcode anything I need but if you can have fun with it to its maximum in your chosen way then its the better experience for (You)
I do this mostly in old Jrpgs, I don't have time to grind shit
>I don't think I can go back. The power fantasy is too addicting. This is so much better.
>Drops the game forever after 3 hours of gameplay
If you aren't progressing through the game I don't know why you would choose to play starfield for the combat. What a miserable moronic life you live. Do whatever you want but please never mention it publicly again
>cheats in game
>immediately comes running to Ganker for asspats and validation because he knows he's worse than a games journalists
lol
I usually only do that in games that don't respect your time, like Starfield. There is no point to make me take 5 minutes to run from point a to point b when nothing is going to happen in that time, so I just boost my character speed. If we had rovers or vehicles, I wouldn't have to do it.
Part of the fun I've always had playing games with leveling systems is figuring out the strongest shit on my own and stroking my epeen coming into threads saying how easy GAME is after I figured out this combination of weapon/skills that trivializes the game.
Cheating would ruin this for me,
I cheated in botw to get the motorcycle earlier. Why even bother with it if you cant get it until 99% of the game is done?
I only cheat in multiplayer games. No point to doing it in SP imo. Always fun to watch nerds rage lmao.
I do that sometimes but only after beating the game the regular way. Like in dark souls sometimes I want to test some builds out of curiosity and it's just faster to edit the values to test the thing directly
Behold, the zoomer.
I am struggling to understand how cheating in a game that bores you in the first place is of any help to have fun in it
You will play it for 10 minutes and then uninstall it
How about finding games that are fun to you?
Only on the first playthrough if a game is well written but the mechanics are just frustrating and annoying
Otherwise only on the second playthrough if I will do a second playthrough
>Play the assassins Creed Greece game
>Exp trickles in too slowly, keep having to grind to level to access quests
>Download wemod, activate xp multiplier by 2
>Seamless gameplay between missions
Usually, I only use cheats for money, and occasionally for items duplication when the grinding becomes unbearable.
i don't cheat in games anymore, it takes the challenge, fun and goals away
i realised it after cheating in diablo 2 single player as a kid with item creation program, it becomes very boring after 20 minutes
I only cheat to save time. Not remove the challenge
>Yo you need to spam repeatable fights and quests before we even let you attempt the next thing
>Yo you need to grind up materials for hours in order to progress
Bad design gets removed. Stop wasting my time with boring filler shit
cheating is the biggest cope there is
hope youre at least pirating the games
if youre cheating and its not for something autistic like lightning dodging then you are just playing bad games
You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference.
I never beaten a single bethesda game without cheats
I got myself 15000 carry weight the second console was available in Starfield. Come on.
