Any thoughts on that "Megadev" "trainers" site?

i like to mess up some games like gta sa with mods and cheats ... in online games it's different ... i want to compete myself with others and there are cheats and trainers the biggest no go you could have ...

My stance is pretty clear, as long as your cheating does not affect other players (single-player activity), you have all rights in the world to have fun with the product that you've bought, and if cheating increases that fun then by all means you should go for it.

In my case, cheating ruins the whole fun since the game is no longer played like expected to, and I no longer have fun from achieving my own goals if I can just edit a few variables to my liking, especially as a programmer that is capable of doing that without any trainer or cheat code to begin with, so I just don't cheat. I didn't always have a stance like that, especially when I was younger (and inexperienced in this field), I had a lot of fun from blowing up everything I could in GTA SA or similar games. If cheating brings fun to you then I can't see anything against, as long as it's SP and does not affect the experience of other players.

Live and let live.

Never really heard of Megadev before, I googled it and now I know. lol
Is that really needed?
I'm personally ok with CheatEngine if you want to gain more control over your single player games, and it's very useful if you want to for example slow down or speed up the gameplay with SpeedHack.

In single-player games, you do you. Would take a very petty person to complain about it, I'd say. I had to use a trainer in Stalker Clear Sky to get past a situation where I was in an instant death point. I tried getting past it for 15 minutes, but I just kept dying and the loading screens made me aggrevated. The previous save was 2 hours ago and there were no autosaves in that bunch. So, I downloaded a mod, cheated my way past it and I'll admit, I cheated through the entire part because I had already done it and I was just trying to beat the game after I had already almost finished it, but had to quit due to the game having a gamebreaking glitch.
So overall, I skipped past around 3-4% of the game with cheats. I saw the story, I still beat it relatively normally. The only thing that happened was that I didn't waste time as much.

So yeah, don't feel bad for using trainers if you think it's necessary to increase your enjoyment of the game. It's your game. You do you :)

I've used trainers when I was a kid at single player/offline games, but at some point I came to realize "now, how is this any fun?"

The story is not good enough for the translation machine and I can not tell clearly.
Mod after single play and cheat after game completion.
I can understand that area.

However, in the whole multiplayer, "cheating" is not permitted.

BOT? Macro? Cheater?
All are subject to the death
In particular, nuisance caused by Multiple account registrations is fatal to both operators and users. Next, I will give you the right to be born with your head alone.
I have been raising such a problem on the Internet for about 20 years.

Young people also wondered if they should take away the right to play network games.
The actual cause was many other people.

This is the figure of people hiring people to spend tens of millions of money, annoy, attract players, and do activities.
Anyway, please enjoy the game! Instead, "embarrassing others" is like the "joy" of such people, and the game operator will silence to the incoming big money, giving up control.

And, what has changed only the "skin" of the game that has disappeared from the old is released.
And history is repeated.

Oh, were a trainer, right?
Is it not necessary?
The game to enjoy may be "hard work".
However, I understand that some people like "Suffering".

I feel that way roughly.
I'm sorry if the translation is wrong.

Ladydude got me :D

I prefer dudette tho :)

After all these years I still don't know what a "trainer" is or does :D
But I'm not really into this cheating stuff, so that's probably why :3

I've never seen the point in cheating in games myself, since I feel like it would rob me of the experience I paid for, but I also don't particularly care what others do in their own single-player games that they paid for.

No blood, no foul, as far as I'm concerned.

Regarding the poll question, it depends on the usage. If it's a hard game and you get stuck, and the game forces you eventually (after using up all "continues") to start from the very beginning, it can be frustrating to go through the whole game again which you already can handle, just to get to the one passage again where you got stuck initially. And then fail again. Repeat. A trainer allows you to train those critical sections without wasting time on repeating the whole game. Eventually you are able to do all sections without trainer.

I used to mess around with a trainer in GTA:VC, modify the gravity, speed of the car, rate of fire and all kinds of stuff, it was fun
and some op mods for Max Payne 2, like nuclear nades and shit
