    I used to do it all the time, but it's much more satisfying to finish the game without cheats.  Once I've finished the last mission though, I like to try out cheats just so I have something to do once the game is over.

    You can, but it's still a bit slower than running not in aim mode isn't it? "
    I think it depends on the platform. Some of the buttons have multiple functions on the controller, whereas on keyboard they are separate. This means you can run while aiming at a person in melee while on PC but not on console, because the run button is also the block button on a controller. With a gun, you can run while aimed, but it's tough to press the run button while moving the thumbstick at the same time.

    Like any other game I've just messed around with it. Though playing the game seriously I never do.

    Yeap. Summoning a tank in GTAIII was the only thing I had interest in. Press Circle 6 times or something, right?

    I waited until I got 100% completion before using any cheats.  I think it made the experience better.  Well, except for pigeon hunting.

    I found cheats way too much hassle to even use once - typing it into the phone was dumb.

    If a game has cheats then I'm most likely using them. R2, R2, L1, R2, left, down,right,up,left,down,right,up. I'll probably never forget the GTA cheat codes, I've clicked them in more than I've sighned my own name.

    No, I've never got into cheats. Does walkthroughs count in gamefaqs? That's not cheating, right?

    I don't use cheats for any games anymore. Every time I cheat it seems to suck the fun right out of playing really quickly. 
    Though, now that I've passed it and ain't played it for a while, I should go back and cheat a ton.

    I never used cheats in any of the GTA series to beat the game.  Only used them to mess around.  Using cheat codes is like hitting on a girl with Down's; you'll probably score, but you're still doing a retard.

    I've never entered a single cheat on GTA IV, nor do I ever intend to. GTA III and Vice City though? Oh hell yes. I mean I was only 9-10 for those two games. I of course went back and got 100% on those at later dates, to not would be madness.

    I used cheats ALL the time in san andreas, but played through entire GTA IV without them. It seems San Andreas was just a better world to cheat in i guess.

    I felt like Vice City and IV were the only ones I could actually finish without using a cheat. I didn't use cheats in IV, but used them all the time in 3 - SA.

    Since they hardly even affect the game besides makin it a lil more convenient, i've never bothered. They seem like they'd be best for after u completed the game and u wanted some easier oppurtunitys to wreak havoc but....the game ends with the storyline for me...no way can i continue on with how dull the game becomes once the storys finished.

    @withateethuh:
    Get better at gaming... lol. I'm not actually a dick so I don't mean that, but make your goal be to just play the game for what it is. 
    Not to not use cheats, otherwise the word cheat will be in your head. It's like saying "I must not think about elephants", which then causes you to think about elephants lol.
     
    Use cover more and make sure you have a full clip when you pop your head out of cover to shoot. also, keep moving in combat, that way the enemy can't flank you from behind. 
    Also, expect to die every so often and just reload a previous save, this helped me to not cheat SO much. 
    Hope this helps.

    I played through the first couple of times without cheats, but after that I started using the cheats.
     
    I always play through a game at least once before I think about using cheats.  It takes away from the experience of playing the first time around.

    There's no  reason to use cheats. 
     
    GTA isn't that difficult and it's not like previous GTA's where if you died/got arrested you lost your weapons. Well actually I've never been arrested in GTA4 so I don't know if it's like that, but I know dying doen't result in you losing weapons. That was really the only cheat worth using in previous games. 
     
    I wish there was a cheat for stuff to spend money on. I had almost $1million on one playthrough, and I didn't kill Dwyane either.
