GTA V: 5 Reasons Why It Doesn’t Need Cheat Codes

WC writes: Cheats have been present in a lot of other Rockstar games, such as Red Dead Redemption, but we think it is time for this trend to stop as we prepare to make the leap to yet another generation of consoles.

Here, we run through 5 reasons why we believe GTA V should not have cheat codes.

Game is going to be amazing.

If there's going to have cheats at least they should be REAL cheat codes like in San Andreas where they made part of the gameplay, having gamers repeat the codes every time they needed... not that BS like in IV where you only had to type the code ONCE and the phone would save it forever.

5 reasons it does,
1. I want them.
2. It's fun to use them.
3. I don't care if you don't like them.
4. Why are you still reading.
5. Go back to 1 if you don't understand.

cheat codes??? people really still use them? ever since the ps2 days i dnt use those anymore.

[TheModernKamikaze]

That's what made San Andreas fun.

Cheat Codes are a dying thing in games. Now they make you pay for extras instead.

If you need cheat codes to make a game fun, have a nice life. Challenges makes life worthy of living.

Who said they "need" them? Can't people just want them? If I like to play a game through without cheats and then mess around with them does that mean I'm going to struggle at living my life?

When used right, cheat codes are able to add things to a game without taking anything away, but apparently that makes me a bad person I guess.

Have you ever heard of fun? Its why normal people play video games....

[Theangrybogan]

I don't use cheat codes, but I have no problem with them being there. Why remove features that are optional? Why ruin someone else's fun because you don't like something that is completely optional? All the reasons in that list could be remedied with one solution, just don't use them.

[Psychotica]

Those reasons were not valid at all. Not everyone uses cheat codes because the game is too difficult, they use them just for the extra fun and for a different experience they can have.

[GasTankKiller]

I don't see any reason not to have cheat codes. If you don't want to use them no one is forcing it on you. Plus, its nice to use them once you beat the game.

Good article on why cheat codes are good, particularly for GTA 5 - http://www.gta5cheats.com/c...

Here's my reason:
Turn my character into The Cyberdyne Systems Model T-800..
My mission is to destroy everything in the city.

This is after I completed the game.

There Should be cheat codes, but only avalibe
1. after you complete the main story mission
2. you can only use with 1 of the three protagnist and if you switch characters the cheat code is off
3. fi you use them you can auto save you have manually save them I think these are good reasons
