Is a gamer one that carries a game shark?

Ichigo_06 · Feb 20, 2008, 06:48 PM

Hey guys this question has been bugging me since a "gamer" here has been carrying around a game shark for every game he playes, so are you still considered a gamer when you use a gameshark on EVERY game that you play, is it considerd a gamer when you play the game first without cheats and then go through the game with them? what do you guys think I figured since this could get to be a heated descusion this was the best place for it, (sorry to the mods if it isnt) what do you think? Gamer or not if you constanlty use GS on Games that dont even need cheating?

I would have to agree with you Ichigo. A true gamer plays a game without cheats at least on his/her first time through a game.

To me, a true gamer is one that openly enjoys video games. Two main categories I divide them up are fair gamers, and cheaters. To me, they are both gamers, as long as they adhere to my first statement.

While fair gamers (including myself) do not understand how a gamer attains pleasure through cheating, it is clear that they still enjoy video games, though in a somewhat unorthodox way.

End of my opinion.

Who cares?

A gamer is a person who plays games-- that doesn't mean he has to be someone who gets into lame fights over them, brags about their prowess or needs to nitpick everyone else to death.

More playing: less caring about what other people do.

Unless he's cheating at 2player: let him have his jollies.

I'm sorry but if you use a gameshark on every game then he shouldn't consider himself a gamer at all; tho katsoyori33 has a good point, if you use a gameshark after a few times playing the game 100% through or at least close to it. But to answer your question Ichigo NO! he is not a gamer and will never be one until working withouty the gameshark for a few years on every game he owns.

You're a gamer when you play video games, whether you cheat or not.
For some cheating is something you shouldn't do, because it isn't fair nor fun.
For other cheating is something you should do, because you can achieve anything and still have fun while you're cheating.

I myself don't cheat at most of the games. Mostly because I play a lot of RPG's. It's less fun and too easy if you cheat. It doesn't get you anywhere, when someone actually already "played" for you.

But that doesn't mean I never cheated before. If I'm playing a endless one to one fighting game to collect characters, I just use a cheat to get them all anyway. Or else I'd have to play with crappy ones to gain those cool characters. And that takes a lot of time... (I know I'm a sinner <_<)

For someone who uses game shark, codes, etc. I'd still count them as a gamer, I mean come on, they're playing the game, enjoying themselves, doing what they want. They're just doing it a different way.

Me, The only game I'll really use cheats on is Classic Doom, for only ONE reason, with God Mode, you can kill the Cyberdemon with your fists, claiming to be "Super Saiyan Doom Guy". It's fun, otherwise, yeah I'm not fond of them.

Billum256 · Feb 21, 2008, 06:48 AM

I would have to say that if you use a gameshark that I myself wouldn't consider you a real gamer. I hate it when people use gamesharks all the time, theres a certain member of this fourm that I know who uses gamesharks and guides to get through there guides. So yeah real gamers are those who don't cheat.

naruto_4893 · Feb 21, 2008, 06:52 AM

the only time i use a game shark is when i have bettin a game or it not worth playin to me. me i'm not found of them on my firt time on the game but a gamer is some one that loves to play games.if they use a game shark to have fun then that's how the have there game fun so in technacality they are a gamer but if the game is good enough like finnal fantasy i would never use a game shark. that is me though.If he is useing it on game that don't need it then i would not consier them a gamer cuz you are not even tryin to play it with out the cheats.im at an greement with ichigo

I agree. I don't use cheats, strategy guides, none of that BS untill I've beaten the game (sometimes I'll beat the game twice before I look up anything). I didn't even know that they still MADE Game Sharks!!! I haven't seen one of those since I used G.S. to play Japanese import games on my Dreamcast!

I look at people who use Game Sharks like I do people who use the bars while playing DDR, or those guys who take steriods in any sporting event. Cheaters! Nothing more nothing less... They can say they beat a certain game, but if it was with any sort of cheat, strategy guide or degugging tool, it doesn't count in my book. My little brother tries telling people that he beat DBZ sagas, but didin't tell anyone that I played the entire game up until the last boss battle and had my brother do it for me because I needed to take care of something. That's the last time I let anyone play for me on the last stage of any game again. LOL.
