    Nope, wouldn't be satisfying for me to complete a game by cheating.

    Don' worry, it won't hurt... that much!

    I am not satisfied with myself either when I use cheats, but I only use them when I did already beat the game, when the game really sucks, or when I just feel like it.

    I use cheats on 2 occasions , either when I beat the game a first time or I get tired of playing it and just want to hurry and beat the damn thing.

    I usually try and beat a game legitimately the first time around and maybe use cheats for subsequent playthroughs if the mood strikes me.

    Depends what you mean. Do I abuse cheap tactics in games like picking an OP character, or duplicate items? Yes I do, but only if it is already in the game like a glitch. Being able to break the game is always fun and rewarding.

    However if you are talking about using cheat codes or a gameshark, for Unlimited Ammo, or Every Weapon unlocked, then no I never use those type of cheats. Like I said, I like to be able to figure out the game and then use the mechanics to cheat.

    I usually try not to cheat on my first playthrough, but when I really can't beat a part of the game (like, over 10 failed tries), then I'll use cheats just for that part.

    only after I've beaten the game as thouroughly as posible, first. I know all the Sonic on Genesis cheats, and that's only because I've already mastered each one. a GameShark/GameGeanie is an EVIL piece of hardware and WILL cause you to cheat in EVERY aspect of your life until you discard of it violently and without mercy! trust me, my brother onlt Thinks he's good at all games...

    I use cheats only if the game is extremely difficult...or involves fatigue on my hands...like bubble bobble for instance - if there's a level i cannot pass legit(causes repeatedly dying) then i will cheat.

    i only use cheats after i beat the game to have some added fun. and games dont even really use cheats anymore. i dont call it a cheat if its added into a menu in the game after you beat it. thats an unlockable. a cheat to me is when you press buttons (L1, R2, L2, R1, X, X, O, [], triangle). remember those? classic cheats.

    I'm with everyone else on this, I have never used cheats until I had beaten the game and it is rare for me to use them before I did except for games like GTA where I tend to play a bit through story then I'd get dreadfully bored and use cheats to get some fun out of it before I moved on to the next.

    I haven't cheated in RDR though, the story mode is too good.
