Losing Fat Drake is a bit of a bummer though

Maybe that's why. I have never used any DLC that gives me a greater advantage.

>Remember when games had actual cheat codes that did fun stuff in games?
Yes. And it's a shame that those days are gone.
But back in the late '90s and early '00s, when cheat codes were common, a lot of the "hardcore gamers" (i.e., all the late-'90s-to-early-'00s equivalent of you retards) would constantly, fucking CONSTANTLY, complain about cheat codes. They would actually whine about cheat codes being in games because they were so emotionally triggered by the thought of completely optional features allowing other people to more easily beat single-player games. Am I the only one who went on video game boards back then? Every time someone mentioned using cheat codes, even just for fun, a bunch of other people would bitch and moan that the game should be challenging and that cheats somehow ruin it for everyone.
They might have been a vocal minority, but my guess is that developers saw this retarded shit and thought their customers didn't want cheat codes.
>>336899452
>cheat codes became less popular because of achievements/trophies
I don't buy this at all. Lots of games with achievements also have cheat codes. The developers who give a shit about the legitimacy of their achievements just disable them when cheats are in use. There's no conflict between achievements and cheat codes that can't be fixed with a single "if" statement.
However, the achievements were probably invented for the same reason that cheat codes were abandoned: Autistic fuckface "gamers" who think that single-player games are serious business and that we should all care whether total strangers were able to beat one fairly.
>>336905964
>their customers didn't want cheat codes
No, they just discovered that they could sell the cheatcodes calling them DLC.
>>336899452
Achievements ruined games. Now you can't even develop one without shoehorning them in or no one will allow it on their system.

That's rarely done.
It's been years since I've actually seen DLC that functions as a cheat code. Extra weapons are released as DLC, sure, but whether that counts as a "cheat" is debatable. Name 10 games that have a "god mode" DLC.
how fast can you fags type pepperonipizza
>>336905964
>I don't buy this at all. Lots of games with achievements also have cheat codes.
the thing your failing to grasp is how much people care about the legitimacy of cheevos. And compound that with instead of making neato cheatos devs instead program in cheevos instead.
it takes time and some effort to do any of them and given how now cheevos are considered mandatory for the most part. Devs instead time into cheevs instead of cheats since it will be much more appreciated by a more people even if due to the lowest common denominator wanting and liking it
>>336907969
>Name 10 games that have a "god mode" DLC.
Majority of them since they're piss easy with "video game journalist" difficiulty options
>>336907969
>Every "Tales of" game now includes DLC for BUY LEVELS, BUY FANTASY MONEY
>Compile heart bullshit also does this shit to a degree, also tying level cap limits to DLC
>Every game selling alternate models/skins as DLC when those would have been unlockables or hidden cheat unlocks before
>Pre-order bonuses for AAA titles being early weapon unlocks or totally new weapons unobtainable any other way
While I'll give you the "God mode" argument, you also should be able to tell me the last time a game even had a god mode option.
>>336908296
I honestly don't get the point of cheevos.
It's just normal game progress or a self-imposed challenge that existed previously to cheevos except now you get a DING and a stupid pop up telling you you did it that you will never look at again.

>>336908296
>the thing your failing to grasp is how much people care about the legitimacy of cheevos.
I don't think I'm failing to grasp it. I actually mentioned it in the post to which you replied:
>... However, achievements were probably invented for the same reason that cheat codes were abandoned: Autistic fuckface "gamers" who think that single-player games are serious business and that we should all care whether total strangers were able to beat one fairly.
I don't think the disappearance of cheat codes was caused by the invention of achievements, but I do think the two things have the same cause.

Why does eveybody think people do achievement to brag ? I do them for fun little challenge and the feeling of completion
Remember those silly useless mystery challenges in old spyro/ratchet/jack and daxter games? That would unlock at best a big head mode nobody gave a shit about ?
Yeah well I did these, for fun and challenge
"BUT YOU COULD DO THEM WITHOUT THE ACHIEVEMENT/DEVS TELLING YOU TO "
Yeah but why ? Why defeat the final boss in less than five minute ? How would I know how long it took ? How would I decide how fast it's possible for a regular guy ,not a speedrunner that autistically calculated everything?
This is the same reason why people get upset when they lose their 100% save :all the challenges you beat are no longer accounted for by the game, sure you caught 151 pokemon and you know it,there's just no "written" proof you did and some people like to have the game remind them "yes you finished me"

Nightmare Creatures also had a "play as the enemies" cheat that was fun. Unless you played as a regular ass zombie, though, because one hit and you're knocked down for like half a minute.
>>336911852
Oh boy you are correct!
All that fun I had playing games with cheats enabled was wrong! It was all false, I never actually had fun all because cheating is wrong and evil!
Fuck off, murdering is wrong yet Gta is still fun. Tons of things we do in games is "wrong" by definition.
>>336911979
the point is that they're not zealous tourneyfags so they use it on single player for fun
The last game I played that had something similar to that was Disgaea 5. It wasn't really a secret though since you unlock a cheat shop after beating the game and it's mostly required for the hyper grind that is lategame. There was some stuff like making wierd noises when walking around though.
>>336911191
Fuck off with your shit, when you attempt something hard and frustrating having a small carrot to keep you going is good
I pure platiniumed bayonetta 1 in every mode despite having no achievement for it ,I just wanted to see the result screen full of pure platinum statues that would recognize that I did it. This is no different than an achievement pop up a shitty reward to motivate you through the bullshit
>>336912189
And I had lots of fun throwing chess pieces at my opponents instead of playing the game properly. Doesn't magically make it not wrong.

>>336912549
Playing a game on the bullshit difficulty is NEVER instantly fun, it's fun when you finnally grasp how everything works and finish it
Having the game give you a star "U DONE DID IT" when you do , a big 100% on your savefile, a different start screen anything that recognize you completed something hard feels good for most people
Otherwise nobody would give à shit about losing their 100% savefiles "urrr you did it why do you need the savefile then " for the satisfaction that the game is SITTING there ,completed AND recognize it has been completed so that everytime you boot it up you can remember "hey I did that "
>>336912591
no, cheating on high-score boards IS fooling yourself. I'm talking about fooling around, with a bunch of peds following you gunning down everything that comes in your way in zero gravity and hilariously one-hitting an unbeatable boss with a joke weapon.

>>336913090
I'll even add that a lot of old rpgs would ALREADY give you a small useless trinket when you beat the bullshit secret boss for this VERY reason
Hell, for a well known example the only reward for catching 151 pokemon in blue /red was a simple "congrats nerd" message
>>336913090
Your hundred percent save file is meaningless anon, unless your going back to it to play on it doing something that can only be done quickly with an end game save, like quickly accessing a level you like, or doing a new playthrough with some unlockable the game offers up.
Having a save file sitting around and not doing anything or not believe you will go back to it with it acting like it's some kind of accolade is some kind of insane, because it's value is totally personal and worthless besides.

I believe the discussion is about clever or fun changes made to games via the use of secret input granted by the developers. In fact, the image in OP's post doesn't actually give you any sort of advantage ingame. It's merely a cosmetic change. Feel free to continue being mad, though.
>>336913964
Nice
>>336913263
playing video games IS instant gratification. Having to grind for shit while you could mess the codes to get it, for me, is just cucking yourself.

People collect stamps, their collection isn't actually worth shit they just enjoy researching and collecting
Yet if one day a stamp would dissapear forever they would try to find another one because it wouldn't feel complete
Yeah what mattered was the journey and how much fun you had collecting this trash but having the satisfaction of seeing all your treasures lined up is satisfactory too
Just like seeing a game full of completed achievement feels good
This isn't a matter of cold hard logic

I miss Easter eggs too, but there is no real need anymore with vidya gaems going full industry. The threat of corporate piracy isn't what it used to be. After the Hot Coffee incident and the media's willful ignorance, even locked away hidden content is considered a liability.
Cheat codes are another matter. In 80's games, the bulk of them were run of the mill debugging facilities for devs to make sure their game doesn't crash and burn three quarters of the way through. In the 90's, it somehow became cool and every dev threw a few in just to make gamers happy. For certain lower and midrange games in that era, you needed cheat codes since devs got lazy about actually playtesting. Then again, this was also the era of the $3.99/minute 900-number hint line. Today, $5.99 to unlock infinite ammo.
