Impervious and kill everything
For me it was specifically Sims 2
As a kid I don't know if I ever played the Sims without "rosebud"
Make your sim work a shitty 9-5 job with just a few hours at home to relax and eat and maybe read a book?
Nah I'ma give my son the good life, stay at home, do a hobby, go out for a walk whenever, go to bed whenever, have luxuries that i never could, my little one.
For a non-player of that game, seems kind of redundant given in it you are pretty much a partially handicapped god.
Thing with Sims is it's kinda a sandbox game. You can play in loads of ways: make it a hard grind where the sim keeps just ahead of the reposesser NPC, build great houses, do interior design on said houses, be an evil kleptomaniac heartbreaking monster or give your Sim a perfect dream life with Barbie doll house, ken doll boyfriend and all the money you can be bothered spawning in. And more, of course.
So it's a bit like playing in 'creative mode' vs 'hard mode' vs 'normal mode'.
1993 Doom BFG.
had a level editor. Made a cyberdemon arena with BFGs everywhere. 2 party LAN. Good times!
IDDQD & IDKFA!
don't forget IDSPISPOPD :)
2 codes ill never forget lol
Those codes are forever burned in my brain.
Those codes are forever burned in my brain.
Similar but different: Duke 3D
DNKROZ
DNCORNHOLIO was more memorable.
This was the shit
Yes Doom cheats. Playing Doom as a 5 year old was a bit creepy with those damn pink demon dogs sneaking up on you 🤣 it was nice to use cheats back then to blaze through it. I eventually played it without cheats ofc
GTA IV by far. Causing absolute chaos in that game was the best thing
Was there an invincibility cheat?
I’ve played other gta games where you get full health, but not invincibility. I sort of like that because with 30 police shooting at you there is still a level of dying risk.
There isn't a cheat but you can do it on PC with a cheat console that enables more functionalities than just the existing cheats in the game.
For me it was GTA3 on pc. I remember editing some config file to make cars act like invincible tanks.
Or driving up building walls and clipping through the non-existent roofs
Yeah, hated how they only made it timed for 5 minutes in GTA 5 so it forced you to keep re entering it oh & they got rid of the cell phone method for entering cheats which was a huge time saver because I hated the button combo method.
The cell phone cheats was honestly so cool back and revolutionary IMO . Shame they reverted it back to classic button pushing.
Holing up in Playboy X's apartment and taking on the entire LCPD.
Age of Empires. There was something funny about having one of those cars, driving around blowing shit up.
How do you turn this on?
Type "big daddy" into the text message box.
All the cheats still work in the Definitive Edition, but the cheat character models are low resolution as opposed to the higher resolution models for characters in the game.
To Smithereens!
Furious the monkey boy
The cobra wagon from II was a huge downgrade compared to big momma and big daddy, sadly.
This is totally true
I see what you did there.
Yeah as a kid who didn't understand the mechanics or strategies and just wanted war simulator, I'd always play using cheese steak jimmies, rock on, marco/polo, lumberjack, Robin hood and aegis. Then I'd summon cars and monkeys when I was tired of war
Probably why I sucked so fuckin hard at Civ when I tried to play a similar game without cheats lol.
The Knight Rider car thing that fired missiles?
I loved that thing.
Also the dinosaurs in Command & Conquer.
I used to love that if you removed the fog and did the unlimited range cheat for ballistas you could essentially end a scenario by destroying the entire enemy army from across the map.
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
On the eighth day God created Turok
Remove the spaces and vowels and make it all caps and you have the God Mode cheat. Level select, all weapons, infinite ammo, invincibility, and a whole bunch of cosmetic fun stuff.
There was a decent sized comment section gushing over Turok and wanting a new one or a remake of some kind. It's got me feeling all nostalgic
There was an epic games leak referring to a turok remake
The bow in that game was my absolute favorite. Felt so good killing with that 👌
Does this one still work on the switch N64 online version?
Pretty sure, yeah. You also need to remove the first H in “eighth”, I think they typoed their cheat entry. Also Ys are considered vowels and removed from the letterset as well.
NTHGTHDGDCRTDTRK
Still have it memorized like it’s 1998
I remember way back when, toys r us had a kiosk display for turok. And having memorized the big cheat I put it into the demo and it worked then I just left. Curious if that was even a demo or the full game they just had running lol.
Your a legend thank you I didnt know this
The sequel was bewareoblivionisathand for godmode
Crackdown gave me the most joy with the 'Keys to the City' mode. I had a lot of fun with Crackdown back in the day.
Remember buying it exclusively for the Halo 3 beta and was very pleasantly surprised how fun and great Crackdown was.
Man, those were the days.
The first Crackdown was such a good game. I unfortunately didn’t think 2/3 were even close to as good.
Agreed. I probably have hundreds of hours in Crackdown looking for every agility orb. 2 was comparatively such a let down that I never picked up 3.
3 was okay but no where near as innovative and fun as 1
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Specifically the no clip cheat. It was really neat being able to fly out of the map and see the whole level laid out.
God, saber_dismemberment and force powers set to 3, and just tearing ass through hordes of enemies, cutting them down and force-throwing them off the walkways of Nar Shadaa was pretty much all my high school life.
I used to line up all the different jedi NPCs opposite all the different dark jedi NPCs and then watch as they slugged it out. Or host 1v1 tournaments!
Came here to say this. I spent hours as a kid no clipping to high areas in levels then spawning NPCs and yeeting them to their deaths.
I loved running godmode with the mind control cheat, and trying to finish each level without actually having the main character do anything.
helpusobi 1
Power Overwhelming.
I can still hear that voice line in my head after all these years
Rise of the Triad, that game was already ridiculous but you start turning in god mode and other cheat codes and it goes absolutely bonkers. I used to use a combo of god mode, making all the enemies die in explosions of tiny fleshy bits, and forcing the soundtrack to circus music.
God mode and dog mode both hilarious
That game had such great weapons. I could really use a newer game with that level of crazy.
They made a modern version of it and it's just as nuts. Brought back a ton of memories.
I loved using dog mode lmao that was probably my favorite part of Rise of Triad
Heck yeah! One of the first and also funnest "God Modes" that I can remember.
Came here to say:
"DIPSTICK"
and
"TOOBAD"
Twisted Metal series. Just rip around firing off everything.
Twisted Metal 4 with Calypso. Endlessly firing nukes and just ragdolling through the map. Good times.
Good God that's some memories unlocked. I was banned in my friend group from using "that goddamn nuke truck". I was insanely good with it. Did you know if you Google "play twisted metal 4" a very good browser version with controller support pops up? I played the entire game through a browser.
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds probably had my favorite cheat codes of any game because half of them just added fun things.
For example, simonsays spawns a psychotic killer ewok that absolutely wrecks everything in its path.
Thatsnomoon
I don't really use them anymore but GoldenEye was a blast with not only God mode but all the other crazy stuff you could unlock and turn on haha.
Shooting the tank rounds out of your chest was the best
IDDQD
Try that in the original Heretic and you'll get spanked. 😁
IDKFA
id Keys Firearms Ammo
Or
id Kick Fucking Ass
IDFA if you only want the ammo as well
noclip
IDSPISPOPD
This is what I came for.
It's how Doom is able to be my space-out game. Just vibe and kill shit.
IDDQD, IDSPISPOPD, and IDKFA have lived rent-free in my head for 30 years. I can't remember what I had for dinner two nights ago, though.
whosyourdaddy
When warcraft was still fun
Morrowind.
Mercenaries 2. You can basically nuke yourself while doing jumps in a monster truck
I loved this game so much.
SOMA. I couldn't hack it on normal. Too scary. Years later they added baby ass baby mode where you couldn't die. Which turned it into an absolute stunner of an atmospheric walking simulator when the fear of a monster killing you was removed. Really glad I got to play it, even if way later. Excellent story.
Those stealth passages felt like they were forced to do it becaus me its more gamey
GoldenEye 007, and you had to work for it!
Every single player game.
I agree. I'm an adult with a job that makes me stress for 8 hours a day (+2 of commute), the last thing I want is going home and stress over a game.
So I usually cheat in SP games, and rigorously in SP games ONLY, because cheating online is for losers and people with small dicks.
This, I play games for the story, I don't care about challenging gameplay, just give me a great story and God mode.
Turok on N64
Control, after a certain point your powers are maxed out and you really can't die so the hallway fights become an unnecessary slog. Turned it back off for the bosses.
Serious Sam
Fallout probably because it lets you do so much more than becoming invincible. It also makes you immune to radiation & enables unlimited ammo. I think Fallouts Godmode basically spoiled me because now I can never go back to playing it on console knowing you can't cheat on the console version of Fallout which if you ask me is very stupid.
This is why I hated playing Skyrim on the switch other than the gyro controls.
Not because I wanted to use godmode, but because of a few quests that have a chance to break, one of them being Archwind point, which you needed to hunt down all the voice powers.
Noclip was super useful for when you got stuck on something stupid.
StarCraft
Another Crab’s Treasure, Give Kril A Gun absolutely counts as God Mode. One-shot any enemy from a distance AND look hilarious doing it
Soldier of Fortune 2. Probably because it was the first one I used cheats on. I played it as a kid and wasn't very good at beating it properly so my brother told me of the cheats and I got to go around cutting people to pieces. I flew around with noclip and often got stuck as I didn't trigger zones that made new enemies spawn.
Doom
In the Morrowind Tribunal expansion, Almalexia and her guards are so OP they managed to kill me even on god-mode. Basically the game gives you 9999 HP and a super quick healing factor, but enough damage done quickly enough can still get you. I didn't know that though and I was SHOOK lol
gotta get those enchantments up, haha.
Used to make sure I'm immune to as much as possible, then get some Shield points too.
Saints Row 2
Star Wars: Dark Forces. Still remember the code too, LAIAMLAME
evil within 2. Lets you use god mode and get all the achievements, most enjoyable game I’ve played in awhile.
Incredibly underrated game.
Doom 2. That and clipping.
Driver. It had a mode I think called ‘Freight train’ that let you drive through traffic and flipped the other cars out of the way.
Contra and metroid Yes, I'm old.
The Doom games and Duke Nukem 3D and all the other 1990s first person shooter videogames I know with cheat possibility. Duke Nukem 3D has the DNKROZ cheat for God Mode, Doom and its successor Doom II the IDDQD cheat. Man I love these cheats.
Not cheats necessarily, but maxing out my abilities in Saints Row 4 is basically godmode.
It's so fun. Just get high, listen to dubstep, jump across buildings, and kick ass.
Doom
I don’t think I’ve ever played god mode in a game that didn’t completely ruin it after an hour of fucking around.
Some deer hunting game for pc, early 2000s. There was a Browning hi power pistol for some reason. Entering the super speed code and running around the woods executing everything that moves was fun for much longer than any hunting game should be
DOOM(1993)
Just raging through hell, murdering EVERYTHING!
rosebud
...maybe not truly a godmode but given how the game worked it basically is.
The new versions of the original FFVII have super speed and no damage toggles. Really helpful to power through extended random encounter sections.
Using Game Genie to give you godmode, the most joy would be T2 the Arcade Game for me.
But you could apply that to any number of games where you were no longer getting your ass kicked immediately
The original Medal of Honor game for PS1 is fun as hell in Godmode. Grenading Nazi's upclose is so satisfying, as well as enabling bouncy/reflective walls and launching bazookas on them.
Sim Copter
Doom. Og doom.
Anyone remember Captain Claw ?
Not really a "cheat" but Sonic 3 and Knuckles when Sonic gets all those emeralds. Just power up and fuck about.
In Redcard Soccer I use a cheat cd (Gamecube) to apply infinite boost. Can run much faster, do power shots at the goalie and my fouls are even fouler.
The first Doom
Serious Sam 2. Enemies running at you and you just wait them with the chainsaw.
Doom 2. Second to highest diffficulty. Iddqd Idkfa Massacring hordes after hordes of hellspawns in a really bloody mess.
Amazing times. My childhood. And then i wonder why i am so fucked up lol.
Doom. The power fantasy of being an unstoppable force against the armies of Hell will always be awesome
DOOM
Sonic 2 lol with a game genie and enemy creation tool
Not a cheat, just part of the game, but Saints Row IV.
Old School Doom.
Gta San Andreas
I dont play without god mode 😉
Blade and Sorcery
squeamish intelligent reply price paint toothbrush ten salt badge tart
Not sure if it’s the most fun ever, but Another Crab’s Treasure is a fun indie game where you play as a crab and one of the accessibility features lets you wear a gun as a shell and one-shot any enemy in the game, including bosses. Pretty hilarious
SimCity
gta V for sure i would cause so much chaos by pissing off the cops
Any of them really. Sometimes I just want to “play” the game and not worry about anything. I’m playing through Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart again on challenge mode and I have infinite ammo and no damage. It’s nice just doing puzzles and platforming and then annihilating any enemies.
GTA 4/5
Hmm probably starcraft the og so i could play put power fantasies with a single ghost wiping out entire zerg colonies
Rtype: final for ps2. It was the only way I could unlock all the ships.
GTA San Andreas hands down
Any games where you can input console commands that have a ton of control
I remember playing pillars of eternity and using console commands to customize a party member with a slightly different subclass they dont have available, despawned all npcs that didn't matter to make it lag out less in cities, fix some quests that bugged out by messing with the quest flags and npc dispositions, and of course stuff like giving myself crazy gear and stats and skills to play god.
I think i did similar stuff in skyrim, and borderlands
Hades, it slowly made it possible to progress through the entire story
Starcraft
For some reason, a stunning super sledge I found in Fallout 4 was ridiculously overpowered to the point it made me and my husband just laugh. I’d run up to a raider and take a single swing and they were dead. I was like the Terminator. I didn’t need to use any other weapons once I found it.
Not particularly Godmode cheat but Prototype 1 & 2 was the goat for mindless destruction and occasionally accuse someone of being said alien.
Playing StarCraft as a kid.
Power overwhelming.
Turok on N64 back in the day lol
Starcraft Brood Wars.
I was never good enough to complete the Brood Wars campaigns. But I enjoyed the story.
I did complete all of Starcraft II without cheats though.
bloodrayne (gamecube)! i was so bad at the game but it was so fun playing through the story and exploring the zones. i got lost in that world for hours and hours
TRIASSASSINDONTDIE and NAKEDNASTYDISHWATERDANCE
Don't recall using cheats since PS3 days maybe it's an age and experience thing.
POWER OVERWHELMING
IDDQD
The older Hitman games had some amusing cheats in them. Something sorely lacking from the newer ones.
Explosive ammo and nail gun mode were personal favorites.
I guess Garry’s mod
007 Perfect Dark on N64. Not sure if it's really god mode... But pvp with low gravity was fuckin awesome.
Original Rise of the Triad! Get all the crazy over the top items and be able to have a ball home run battng enemies? Turning into a dog to maul them? Just a taste of the crazy that game had that was REALLY hard to utilize without God mode.
ST ELite Force, because the last stage was damned dull. Kill a shit-ton of aliens, ride the elevator down, kill a shit-ton o aliens, etc. Repeat until you reach the boss level.
Prototype is basically God mode all the time and it's super fun
Simon the killer Ewok
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds
Rsr2
IDDQD
fallout
GTA and Age of Mythology.
Satr Wars Battlefront 2 - Cartoon pop ups and effects for my lightsaber slashes.
Doom shareware version where you had to type IDDQD repeatedly in order not to die in the pitch black room filled with demons at the end of the game.
Crackdown 2
Some Star Wars game back in the 90's.
Somewhere I couldn't get past and the next PC Gamer magazine had the fucking cheats!
Perhaps not what you're asking for but for me it was the original Mass Effect with cheats to effectively be the same. I just wanted to enjoy the story since my introduction to the series was Mass Effect 2 but I'd heard the gunplay and upgrade system was bad in ME. It helped me enjoy the game.
For me it's GTA San Andreas. I can't remember if it specifically had a godmode cheat, but I was at least quick enough with them and had enough memorized to feel like godmode lol
Sims games
Postal 2 probably.
Postal 3. Unlimited boomerang machetes that bounced off each other and homed on you.
I’d toss 100 into the air and sprint away.
The blades would race towards me but bounce off each other.. then head for me again (no damage)
I’d then walk into people and watch as my whirling blades tore them to red mist, basically Malevolent Shrine in the mid 2000’s. Good timess
Bloodrayne 1 & 2 . I remember wanting to play as an overpowered vampire and the cheats let you do just that ! add that one cheat that makes it so that every hit dismembers goons and you are basically the villain !
San Andreas, never jad more fun, running away from police in my tank was just awesome.
legend of zelda - take my forever lasting sword shooting
alien trilogy - take that you ugly facehuggers
Terraria
Skyrim tgm/tcl/tai/player.additem/player.addskill made the game a sweet joy at replays.
Quake 2
Duke Nukem 3D
Commandos
GTA2
Pure chaos with a big, big smile .
Not really a god mode, but evil cars in saints row 2 was so fun! Having cars drive at your forehead while putting on low gravity mode so you can jump high, with unlimited ammo to blow them up as they come at you. My buddies and I would take turns till we died.
warcraft 2
I think it would probably be the god mode editor for Marathon. This would allow me to simultaneously turn up the blast power of weapons several thousand percent while being able to live through it.
I could make the weapons so overpowered that after shooting, I and the splatters of enemies would be pinned to the walls for several seconds before dropping to the ground. And then I’d walk away.
The ps1 Medal of Honor games. Invulnerability, rapid fire, unlimited ammo, and bouncing bullets. Wireframe mode was fun, too.
Not even a cheat, but Prototype is the best god simulator.
Contra. up down up down left right left right AB select start… or was it B A it’s been 36 years
There's only one right answer: IDDQD, iykyk 😁
I liked going around all the Borderlands games after I completed them and one shot killing the bosses that pissed me off
Breath of the wild
The Sims.
