Bro spent hours playing HL 2 and then had to turn on godmode? Does he only have 1 hand or something? What happened?
I did that for Control when I played that, I was just ready to be done. Im guessing by every other part of the review the person was also just ready for the game to end
I suppose people who don't enjoy overcoming challenges or figuring out strategies wouldn't enjoy a lot of videogames in general.
What does that have to do with anything? If someone's mentally checked out of the game so much that continuing to play through it becomes a slog, I can't blame them for cheating just to get it over with.
If you're not going to enjoy playing the game then you're better off not finishing it, because by finishing it that way you've robbed yourself of the joy of overcoming the challenge.
What challenge? HL2 is not a particularly difficult game. And there isn't going to be any joy in overcoming whatever challenge you're talking about if they're hating every second of the game. Its not like we're talking about a souls-like where they cheated because they couldn't defeat a boss. No, they cheated because they got bored, not because of some imaginary skill issue.
And they're not better off quitting if they still want to know how the game ends.
0.2 hours to be exact.
Using MMOD doesn’t track playtime for the man game
Ah good catch, that means they lied as well.
He said that he played through it in PS3 back in the day
Can Godmode be toggled in PS3?
I don't know that, I would guess not, probably
