discussion Do you cheat to unlock all rewards in games?

[thehusk]

If a game contain rewards / unlockable content, based on reaching specific situations.

Do you play the games again and again, using a combination of save points, to reach all available unlockable situations?

Or do you cheat?

Just finished DMD ch1, and despite going through every available option, choosing the best situation (using saves to go as far back to take back an action, to get another action available later in the game), I still only had 38/69 unlocked images in the reward section.

Since I wanted to move on to ch2, I didn't bother unlocking everything the "correct way".
Instead I enabled developer mode, and used the console to unlock the missing reward images.

Most times I play through game normally. After that, if I want to unlock some more content, maybe try the other way (different path). If I cannot unlock something for long time, I mostly search for a full save, unlocker or other means of unlocking full content.

I don't think I've every cheated a game to unlock rewards. The disjointed H scene's without the added context never really drew my interest. The build up in the moment while playing through is part of what adds to how hot a scene is to me.

I only cheat in games when i don't have the feeling that the reward would be worth the grind.

Or if I just like the art and do't want to bother with the actual gameplay.

When I feel like there is a lot of grind, yes.

I only cheat when something take too long to grind lol, I ain't wasting away 10 hours of my time of doing repetitive tasks just to get something.

It really depends on the game. I usually only cheat for fun or if something is truly too difficult for me. I personally am not a fan of super challenging games as I do not have the time to spend to get to a very good level with every game I play.

depends on the game.... when its able to reach all withing a week or maybe month... then no. but if it takes years to do it, then yea

You always want to go through an interesting game to the end, and if the game gets boring and you're only interested in a certain character, then you can skip a couple of dialogues and get straight to the point)

depends on ammount of grind but mostly i play normally then i cheat just to see what will happen

I think it's up to the game itself. I'm playing games because it's fun. If I like game in some aspects (art, story) but have some problems with gameplay (too hard/boring/grindy) I can cheat because of it. Maybe it's a bit of disrespectful to developer, but the main point of playing games is to have fun, right? If gameplay isn't really interesting to me, I'll find my way to change it.

most of the time i play through the game, then in the end i cheat to unlock scenes. i dont really like going back through a game to unlock a couple scenes.

 

[MerlinGTB]

I only cheat when a game updates and breaks my save or if the grind is deliberately slow. I don't mind a bit of grind but some of these games feel way to unbalanced with it.

 

[SilentHunter]

No, I never do that. First of all, the level of 90% of games is such that I have no desire to go back to them, and besides, I’m not a gamer.

 

[gganderson]

Only if the game makes it unnecessarily tedious or the story or gameplay is just that shit. But usually I try to unlock it myself, oterwise I couldve just gone to Hitomila anyways...

 

[shaggyboi]

No...... But if the game is too grinding than yes to cheat is okay.

 

[Frumbulon]

Only if the game is too grindy, broken, or boring

 

[Marcc]

Grindy game yes
