I think back about my most enjoyable FPS experiences and they were playing Quake and Duke Nukem 3D on GOD MODE. I simply don’t find much fun in the challenge of staying alive and conserving ammo. Dying and having to replay areas over and over. That’s not a fun game, that’s a frustrating game. The fun part is exploring the levels, blowing up freaky looking monsters, and playing along with the illusion of being in the protagonist’s PERSPECTIVE.

I play games to escape reality. Why would I want to fail over and over again because a monster is too hard to kill? That is too difficult, that’s real life. I want my games to be easy to play, but one hell of a joy-ride.

i think you pretty much said it… we traded cheats for trophies/achievements, and online multiplayer…

the lack of an in depth single player campaign really bugs me too!
i love a good muliplayer portion, but why shouldn’t we have both. im not always in the mood to get cussed at by twelve year olds while im gaming!
i cant sa that i miss god modes too much, im a stiff that thinks thats a game breaker

The concern would be that some gamers would figure out how to use the codes to exploit things online and make other gamers miserable.

Yeah,I miss the god mode…and I wish there were some console FPS with it.I don’t even remember how many games I beat in my teens using those cheats.There was also this one FPS in which you actually became god,and got all sorts of cool powers like lightning and in it,your character would make the most mundane yawns while killing the enemies.I would really appreciate it if someone knew which game I was talking about.

Glad to see a campaign for more replay in the single player campaigns. The stealth armor and tuxedo made a difference to playing through Metal Gear Solid.

I miss my old goldeneye with all those awesome cheats. I think I’m going to plug in my n64 and play all night long. If I could go online with it my life would be complete.

For that matter, what’s wrong with FPS games allowing you to retain whatever weapons you’ve collected after you’ve beaten the game and fancy using them for a second playthrough? No! You have to get the guns at the same times you did in your first time around.

It’s the difference between Resident Evil 4 and Resistance FOM, one allows you to carry everything you’ve got over to the next game, the other is an anal bastard about what you can and can’t have and when you can have it.

Guess which approach is more fun.

in an online world, everything needs to be fair

i think such codes r ommited so that reviewing a game wont be hindered by ne codes the reviewer might have used to ‘hurry up’ theyr blog.

i think every game can benefit from codes, but some games lose theyr sparkle when u have ppl, like my friend, who uses codes as soon as he puts the game in. and the company still gets the sale.

then u can look at a game like GTA: SA, which after playing it, or getting stuck on a mission, go to the 4 pages of cheats that were available, and made the game’s replayability much greater

u win some, u lose some i guess
