I'll use walkthroughs/guides from time to time in games like GTA4 (finding the pigeons) and stuff like that. Otherwise, I won't cheat. I do look for tips to getting trophies/achievements too though. I used to use all kinds of cheats in Goldeneye007 on N64 but everyone did haha. Big head mode, anyone?

Pre 360 achivements I would just play the game right through till the end.

But since 360 I play it through and then go back and try to get all the achivements because its made me a hore!!

But i don't cheat, well in oblivian i did the reproduce cheat to get cash so i could buy all the houses and weapons.

But thats it i use the walk throughs once i complete the game on my own.

i cheat when ive once finished the game and wana collect all the side stuff..

but yes.. a few games i had to cheat to pass a level i was stuck on.. but now every game allows on the fly difficulty level change.. so i reduce it on a level i feel 2 difficult.

like the Sniper level in COD4.. the one shot one kill one.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
