I don’t find shame in cheating in video games. It was a stigma to hear about growing up, that cheating in video games meant you prefer the shortcuts in life or that you didn’t know what earning anything was. When, that was all just bullshit talk.
I cheat in video games, when available to on some games, to give me a little kick of fun. Sometimes I don’t have the patience to tediously go through the standard way. Other times, I feel I’ve earned it anyways, because of having undergone the stresses and frustrations or the time I’ve played of certain games to go through the normal way.
Like in Terraria, it’s a game I’ve clocked in upwards of 900 hours. I felt like I had done everything in the game prior to the content that added the Moon Lord and many other things. At that time, it was 850 hours.
So the point of the matter is, yeah I don’t find it that big of a deal to cheat in video games. If I cared to and want to, I’m decent enough to handle games without cheats, given enough time.
Multiplayer of course I never cheat in those.
Last time was in GTA 5 online, when it launched on pc, got some billions, all the things available and then stopped, never got banned, but forgot my password some years later.
The grind was too much, I never tried to instakill anyone, nor getting planes to harass other players, just wanted the grind to go away.
Edit: holy shit that was more than 10 years ago.
I never got banned, but they sure as shit took a lot of the shit I bought with the money hackers dropped on the whole lobby away from my account.
But some of the newer content from recent updates made the grind a lot less annoying. There’s a set of missions that don’t require jack shit to do, can be finished in less than an hour, and pays $500k. There’s also a soloable heist that can pay up to $2.5mil (but you need the Kosatka sub and that’s like 3 mil IIRC), and the Garment Factory has a repeatable mission worth $1.2mil.
You can also do all the business freeroam missions in a private lobby now, so you don’t get harassed by jackasses or script kiddies. None of that “you must be in a public session” shit.
I’ve made more money grinding in the last few weeks than I had the whole fucking time the game has been out on PC prior to these updates.
Interesting!
I might try some gta online later, is the enhanced edition the same thing or different than the legacy edition?
It’s the same game, but runs and looks better as well as having some new missions that are only accessible via the enhanced edition.
It should have veen added to your library free if you already owned the game, but it’s a separate game in the library; I only just discovered this over the weekend because I have had the original version installed the whole time and assumed it was just an update to that.
Yeah, just went to check and there it was haha.
