Pick one:
A) I'm too good to cheat! Hacking is for n00bs!
B) Only when the AI cheats me first.
C) If the game is too hard, I might use an exploit on the hard bit.
D) I cheat sometimes, but not that much.
E) I've never played a game without cheating at some point.
F) HAX FTW!
Nope, never. Not really for (a) reasons, though. It's more of "if you have to cheat then what's the point?".
I think that Blerk's reason should be added to that list - its precisely the same for me.
I cheat if the game lacks fun otherwise or introduces more fun once I've grown tired of the same old gameplay.
I also admit to actively exploit bugs in games, like the one in True Crimes where your enemies could not follow you over grass or parking lots, because they always stuck to the roads. :)
I have used cheats to unlock stuff I couldn't be bothered getting the right way otherwise, no.
I have resorted to some glitch/exploits when things got too unfair in some games (like the fairground bit in COD4, I think I hid between the legs of the lad you were supposes to save or a tree just to survive it).
I never cheat, so A) I guess.
if I see that AI is that cheap or something I 'll probably just stop playing the game.
I might get some cheating on when I've completed the game, but only if they have some novelty value, once your done god mode etc is kind of pointless.
The only game I would cheat in would be one of the GTAs, and that's only after completing it, when I just want to mess around. In most games I would rather get stuck in a game and never finish it, rather than going on GameFAQs, because it just makes me feel dirty for some reason. I'd consider looking at an FAQ essentially as bad as using cheats.
EDIT: Oh so A) then.
Bit of B bit of C. Gaming is about having fun, so cheating to resolve anything that isn't fun is fair play. This naturally doesn't apply to multiplayer.
Never, ever!
Cheating renders the principles of gaming useless.
