Mpanty's bane
A question to which I fear I already know the answer but I have to ask anyway.
Are there no cheat codes for the console games anymore? I remember with the first consoles, there always were cheat codes (AABBSelectB or something like that) but it seems to have disappeared from the new consoles.
I admit, there are games I never play seriously: I only have them to have some fun, mostly with friends, so I am annoyed when these games feature unlockable contents I can only access by repeatedly playing the game over and over again, even though I paid money for the full game.
This mostly applies to fighting and racing games. I only play fighting games against my friends (not online) and when I do, I want to have access to all characters, costumes and arenas, so that we have the most variety.
I have DoA 4 and I have very little intention to perform every move of every character in the training area as well to unlock every costume for every character (that means beating the game sometimes 6 or 7 times with a single character) - it just is not fun to do it all. And that means that I'll never be able to unlock the last unlockable character because to unlock him, I have to unlock everything else first.
Another example is PGR 3: I only play against friends on split screen and don't have access to all cars or tracks. I would have to play the single player "campaign" to collect money or kudos or something like that (I am not even sure) to get it all.
When I play alone, I only want a quick race but I want all the variety for which I paid and not be limited to the starting cars/tracks only because I have neither time nor willingness to play all the tedious single player challenges.
I can guess that cheat codes are removed because of the online gaming and achievements. But I couldn't care less if my achievements were deleted, my gamerscore set to -10,000 or my gamertag read CHEATER in pink because I used a cheat.
So, am I too blind/stupid to find the correct sites with cheat codes to unlock the unlockable contents in games like DoA 4, PGR 3 etc... or are they really gone?
Edit: Sorry, it should read "Cheating on the XBox 360". Though maybe that's not even better.
