Who cares
>multiplayer games
It depends. If you are cheating in an organised private lobby with friends then it's fine. But if it's in a regular multiplayer game then it's a bit cuntish.

Unless there is another guy in the game that's being an prick, then it's funny to only target him with wallhacks or something.

>single player games
perfectly okay.

>multiplayer games
only okay if used to skip bullshit grind like modding in millions of dollars in GTAO.

I did this and quit the game 2 hours after buying everything. Thank god i did it the easy way instead of wasting hundreds of hours to realize just how completely empty that game is.

Cheating in multiplayer games is pretty fun, not gonna lie. I haven't done it in at least a few years but definitely recall some good times.

>cheating in Tribes 2
>enemy players marked with visible UI icon no matter where they are on the map

>shoot a single spinfusor disc
>wait
>hits 20 seconds later and knocks him off the mountain
>watch them panic and hide while giggling fervently
>they resume sniper position
>do it again every time they even attempt to snipe

I cheated for years in that game and never got caught. Just used it for low key harassment tier shit and it was incredibly fun. 10/10 would recommend to others.

>>232983

In the end, that was the only way I would ever have stopped playing that addictive game anyways. Though desu, I did make a second account and basically low key hack for another year or so afterwards. Looking back I wish I had saved that email just for keks

I don't get the point of it desu, in multiplayer it removes any fun or challenge from the game. Why even bother playing

>>232994
still have the e-mail? I want to believe...

>>232997
Nah I wish. It was an old email I set up as a kid with a stupid fucking name. I've changed emails 2 or 3 times since and lost track of it.

Sony used to have a website where you could look up players and what they have equipped. It's closed now, but I remember looking myself up once and still seeing shit on my character that would have been impossible to equip. I pretty much knew I would get caught being that blatant about it, but didn't really care any more.

I floated the entire Mortal Online economy with duped gold and items because I played the game with the guy who ran Artificial Advantage
I did something similar in Pirates of the Burning Sea (quest would give you free consumables, abort quest, repeat, sell, macro) to float the Spanish team against RMT fags on England

Depends. I don't care if someone cheats to get all the ranks/cosmetics/gun unlocks/etc.
Just cheating to get an advantage is pretty douchey. I even dislike people who use non-hacks ways of getting a leg up like autoclickers to shoot faster.
Cheating to grief in games that aren't really about winning or losing I can accept as long as the victim deserves it (for example if a hacker fucks with an admin abuser, it's all good with me). But if people just cheat to grief random undeserving players (happens plenty of minecraft) it's unfair.

Assuming you mean in multiplayer I'm against it. I should confess that I cheated on WoT tho, I was curious due the complaints about rampart cheating and, once you cheat too, you can notices most players used stuff like "destructibles on minimap (or whatever was called", laser barrels and reload timers. Its crystal clear once you have active cheat, specially if you play some arty matches and observe the players behavior.

Hacking is fine among friends for testing purposes.
I remember a friend of mine making scripts and hacks in CS:S and I helped him test them out just to see; I could win about 2 out of 5 exchanges with scouts.

But if someone's hacking on a public server/match making and they try to hide it or act like "it's just a game" they're a massive faggot.

yeah why even bother playing games when i can automate everything right

Scripters rise up. Never learnt to code, never learnt to write a single line of cheat. Download hack, run exe, ignore anti-virus, dorks mad. Cheated in dota 2, league of legends, csgo, blackwake, doubleaction boogaloo, tf2, gmod, starwars battlefront 2, fistful of frags, and in everyone of em faggots pissed off at how easy I make it look and how I invalidate all that time spent. Bro I’m holding one button, try harder. Killed me once? I’m back to do it again. Report me @niggersarenothuman to your dead ass forum or discord, call the junior admin. I’ll join a new server, match, or an entirely different game and do it all over again. Cheating is not about the score, or because I’m not good enough. It’s because cheating is the top way to troll the biggest dorks out there. By beating them while putting zero time at all, and calling em a nigger to boot.

I don't regret cheating in Payday 2 at all. Free DLC and skip the level grind. I'd also turn off the camera shake from getting shot which is a game changer.

I used to do it all the time as a kid (in singleplayer). I got tired of the lack of challenge and learned that earned rewards feel more meaningful than ones that you got without having to apply skill.

I rarely play multiplayer, and only ever with friends. Cheating is allowed when it would be funny. E.g. when one of us hosts CS:S and gets all his kills stolen by a teammate for several rounds, he might switch friendly fire on for a split second while shooting said teammate. Of course said teammate will happily retaliate when he's the host.

What bothers me about the cheating is those who think it's part of the game. Lots of cheaters think playing online with cheats/mods/aimbots is the only way to play. That's just wrong.

And of course games who have this "amazing and magical" anti cheat system yet people cheat left and right. Or some countries are completely excluded from the anti cheat rules like China.

Some games like Planetside 2, cheating isn't really and advantage when there's so many people.

Games like Warthunder it's just stupid. Cheating doesn't get you ahead much more than just playing well.

>>232879

Nah I don't cheat, even in Singeplayer. whenver I do cheat in SP games I just delete the save and start over since there's no challenge. MP games hard no, people who cheat in MP and "pretend" they're actually good weirds me out, no ones buying that you're hitting all these nut shots. Also Cheating is pretty bad for MP games since if its too rampant it actually kills the community. I remember really liking Apex Legends and I stopped playing it for a year because there were cheaters everywhere with that cheat that lets them run like the fucking flash.

probably because they don't want to look in the mirror. At tthat point they would have to face reality that they are little shits without cheats. What annoys me just as much as them are their simps going on an arms length to defend them. It's weird to watch them white knighting.

in dark souls, when i invade other players i play fairly and amicably but the moment it becomes a 3v1 clusterfuck or the enemies start using some pleb strategy to make the fight awful i turn on the infinite i frames and spawn giant poison brap clouds, fling literal poop in every direction to give them toxicity and machine-gun throw an item that stunlocks and rapidly causes armor degradation so all their equipment breaks

i got the ideas when someone did basically the same thing to me when i was doing casual pve with my exgf. i made my own script years later after becoming bitter with the state of how other players played the game, likely the same way he did. pic related, the fateful encounter.

>>238681
the most fun i had in dark souls was using the spell to become an object, and just sitting in a corner and watching invaders look for me before leaving

Honestly I do not understand it. Maybe just a personal opinion/feeling, but cheating in games always ruins it for me. I've tried cheating in one multiplayer FPS game and immediately got bored. I've cheated in single player games by spawning in OP weapons and stuff and again, instantly get bored.

I don't get how people can consistently cheat and still enjoy the game. Might as well just watch someone else play at that point because you're not really doing anything.

>everyone fine with cheating in single player
I think there should be a qualifier. I mean, sure, it doesn't hurt anyone else if someone cheats in single player, and people have the freedom to do whatever they want with a game they purchased, but IMO cheats should only be used after you complete the game without cheats and just feel like fucking around with the physics and mechanics or whatever. Actually needing cheats in order to complete a game is the definition of being a fucking casual, and if you required cheats to beat a game, you didn't actually beat it. You might as well just have watched a Youtube playthrough of the game.

>>232863
When I was a little retard I would hack in minecraft and roblox. I have mixed feelings. Doing it for pure griefing like making a game unplayable is kinda shit. A little trolling is fine though. I still like to troll with hacks in some lobbies. Also cheating to escape a grind is fine. Cheating in multiplayer shooters tho is just a dick move.

>>236587
Because cheating is part of the gaming culture in China. It is encouraged, and if you aren't doing everything within your power to win then you aren't playing right. At least if you have no intention of going pro, anyway.

>>232863
I think its perfectly fine if its abusing an in game bug or mechanic. Like elevator glitches in MW2? Absolutely hilarious, hard to pull off, happens rarely.

3rd party stuff is lame, unless its being used in retaliation to harass someone being a toxic little shitter, or another cheater.

I honestly unequivocally completely cannot comprehend why some one would ever cheat. I just can't. I have come to the conclusion that if you cheat in a multiplayer videogame, you are not white.

Maybe it's my skewed mentality from playing so many different multiplayer games, but I draw a real distinction between technically winning and outplaying someone. Cheaters aren't actually outplaying anyone so it only really bothers me when cheating makes the game unplayable for everyone else. You might as well be crashing the server or knocking the board over at that point.

Cheating and exploiting is just part of the multiplayer environment and something you expect from people. It can be funny when people exploit/cheat to grief or cutdown that tryhards taking things to seriously. It can even be fun to play against cheaters in some situations.

What I do hate is devs ignoring it or refusing to take responsibility or letting their game die because of it. A big concern when deciding to invest time/money into any multiplayer game is: how responsive are the devs going to be to cheating in their game?

>>232863
Killed BFBC2 for me. And I'm pretty sure it killed a lot of more games for other people. So yeah fuck cheats and fuck the subhuman vermin who use it.

It gets really annoying in Tarkob because they actually make money that way.
Buy account -> cheat into making huge shekels ->sell shekels for real money -> get banned ->use a fraction of the money you made to buy a new account -> repeat
In general, multiplayer games that give people a reason to cheat will almost certainly be infested with cheaters which makes it pointless to play that game.

>>238258

Confirmation bias. The braggers will be noticeable while those who cheat in single player games without bragging slip under your radar. But I agree that the braggers are idiots. Just laugh at them and go on with your day I guess; in all instances where beating a game actually matters (i.e. competition), there are reglementations that invalidate cheat runs. If it's just your sister's little kid telling you about beating [old game] on [modern console], just talk about the bits you enjoyed and present the challenge of beating it without cheats as a positive thing without putting their previous run down.

>>242374
>just talk about the bits you enjoyed and present the challenge of beating it without cheats as a positive thing without putting their previous run down.
Good tactic. If you completely dismiss/insult their use of cheats, then they feel personally attacked, and won't feel compelled to actually improve.

Games are like sex, anything's allowed as long as people still want to play with you. Otherwise, keep your cringe shit to yourself and stop inflicting your shit taste on others. Best case, you get to keep doing it with the random people you meet online because they find your antics enjoyable more than anything. Worst case, you slowly kill the game until it's only you and some other degenerates who make you realize it's not that fun being shit on like you've been doing to others the whole time.
