Ok so i know this kid from my church who borrowed my mates final fantasty 7 and 8, he then bought a game exploder thing, and bragged about completeing the game and getting all the stuff.
Erm hello i refuse to talk about games with him anymore as i dont see the point, what is the point in using cheats and walkthroughs and these game exploder things, if you want to just look at the pretty pictures kids by a disney video yeh.
At least then you can sing along, so parents dont buy ur kids this stuff get them a pong or commadore 64 game and let them play a game that requires skill and patience.
I guess this is just the problem with some kids these days.
Developers out there please stop worrying about graphics until you actually have a game that tests us and is fun.

Yeah well some games are just badly made and walkthroughs and stuff r necessary to get the stupid stuff done but u know no one can really justify these loser tactics for completeing final fantasy and games liek which take some practice and maybe ahem thought.

I use walkthroughs when I have thrown myself at a level for a few days and can't speak from screaming into a cushion.

Then I see that I missed an obvious switch/door/platform and cry like a red-faced girl.

Couldn't you have posted this in the 'All moaning in here' topic? :)

Good point though, whats the point of buying a game just so you can cheat on it, and waste your money by compleating it quickly, with no real satisfaction?
I have action replay V2, but I mainly use it for DVD region X, and I only cheat on it after I have compleated the game, just incase I missed some bits.
