Alot of current gen games(well at least console games) don't have any cheat codes. Do you miss the lack of cheat codes nowadays.

OT: Yeah I do miss them, there are hardly any cheats these days and usually they don't allow you to get achievements if you do have them on. Most of them are fairly dull anyway, Dead Space is the only one I can think of with cheats but it was only for a few extra things, not that big of a deal

Yes they used to make games worth replaying! btw you totally stole my thread topic from yesterday and if you get more posts than me I might cry.
I used to use them a lot when I was younger, mainly for things that would make me giggle, such as big head mode or what have you. These days, it rarely occurs to me that they even exist.

Well actually mine was for unlockables.....http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.263660-Does-anyone-miss-Unlockables-in-games#9981164Professor James said:
But you can kinda see a similarity between topics. I was actually kidding, I don't think you ripped me off or anything and I hope that your thread does better than mine. Apparently my entire premise was flawed but I think your point is more valid. I just had a knee jerk reaction because my original idea for the thread was "Do you miss unlockables/cheats"
Why would they tell devs not to add cheats? Couldn't you have achievements/trophies and cheat codes.Pararaptor said:
Depends on the game and the cheat.
30 men for Contra? Sure, but after a while I learned to play so well that I only needed the three.
Invincibility on GTA. It was awesome. Same for Duke Nukem and Doom. Its fun to play around with, but I like a challenge too.

Cheat codes were my life back in the day. The lack of codes has helped me to become a better gamer in general, however many times I'll search for codes. Mostly codes that makes games funny to play ie getting a girl in lingerie in True Crime: Streets of LA
Many games like GTA IV disable achievements/trophies when using cheat codes.Professor James said:
I fail to see how the option of use plays into this, but I will answer you anyway.Professor James said:
Yes, I realize. And you asked if I missed them. Had I used them, then maybe I would miss them. But, without use, there is no attachment to them.
Ergo: No. I don't miss them one bit.

Just for the hell of it, I always try it when I have a new game. I do kind of miss them...

Yes I miss them call of duty and halo would be much more interesting if I could have a second playthrough as an invincible solider
