Sometimes in long RPGs I stick on god mode if I'd rather just experience the story/gameplay. Not that often though, and not really with todays games - Most have forgiving checkpoints/quicksave.

I used to have my Xplorer cartridge for my PS1 :p I remember spending countless hours adding long codes into that thing :laugh:

oh god I remember those!

I havnt used cheats in a longggg time. and even then it was usually because i beat the game and was bored.

worst i do now is sometimes get stuck and after running around for 2 hours at the same spot, will look at a walk through online.

I get really angry when people cheat on Halo Custom Edition (aim bots who are sniping at impossible ranges even with a pistol, turn god mode on and off) and Zombie Panic (enable noclipping, walk through wall, disable noclipping)

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start

Mortal Kombat 2, Sega Genesis !

What do you consider cheating? There are times I'll look up a walk-through for a game if I have absolutely no idea what to do next but then and only then will I do it. Well, I shouldn't say only then because once that walk-through is open on my PC I can't help but look on when I'm not even stumped :/. Generally though I'll only look for one when I have no idea what to do. Otherwise I play throughw ithout assistance. Cheat codes such as God mode and whatnot totally ruin the game and make it boring for me.

I can't even remember the last time I cheated?

Using cheats just ruins everything for me, the experience, the immersion and the challenge. I know they can be used to add some extra fun to a game like infinite ammo, money and such but that gets stale so quickly. The personal sense of achievement by completing a game where you've used cheats completely disappears! Getting stuck in a level which happens rarely for me, I'd rather opt for a walkthrough instead despite viewing those as a borderline cheat as well.

Now don't get me started on online cheaters ( Read: hacks ) - Those people are lower than scum and I wouldn't mind stomping on their little acne riddled faces with a pair of muddy old work boots.

I only cheat in specific games:

Sims/Sim City: I want to build without worries

early TrackMania: To make awesome tracks

GTA3: It's just more fun to cause havoc in Liberty City then doing missions

Yu-Gi-Oh games: I want to build decks from the start, not sit 365 days there to get all cards

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
