Cheat codes were such a nice option for games with highly questionable difficulty or progression.
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.
Mods and trainers.
Yeah, I use remodeling for some single player games. It’s basically cheats for everything
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.
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
Mods sometimes another person’s save if playing the final ending requires bunch of collecting I don’t want to do like Arkham Knight.
Plus one to cheat engine, I don’t have time to grind materials
Honestly, I mostly just play a lot of old games that still support consoles, cheat codes, or mods.
Cheat Engine on PC.
On console you pray that the devs added some accessibility options.
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.
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
Game Conqueror on Linux, Cheat Engine on Windows, and save states on Virtualbox and emulators.
