Nothing too serious, i want to hear your petty, your eccentric, your off beat takes.

    More games, if not all games, should include cheats or extra sliders for both difficult but also gameplay options.

    Let have infinite mana or slow mo or increase my speed or whatever. At the end of the day games are entertainment and you should be able to tweak things to better enjoy it.

    (I know mods exist but those are a mixed bag in terms of if they exist and what they support)

      A lot of games have a dev console with where you can type in a “cheat code” for pretty much anything

      I like the way Pacific Drive did it.

      • Here’s the way we intended it.
      • Here’s an easier and a harder mode.
      • Here’s a bunch of difficulty settings in detail, select what you like.

      I understand from a resources perspective why it’s not always done. But from a player’s perspective, I totally get you.

      Learning to use cheat engine is a game-changer. It can pretty much automatically single out a memory location for something like mana just by casting a spell a few times.

      There’s a game I played last year, the name of which I now completely forget, which I never actually finished because the final boss was such a bitch that I ended up rage quitting. Even set to easy. I’d never been so angry at a game.

      Watched the ending on YouTube instead.

      edit: I just remembered, it was Bramble. Beautiful game, absolutely bitch hard.
