I agree with skynyrd, except for the part that supras suck.  anyway, people have their own abilities and beliefs.  what if you don't have the cash to get that $50 memory card(of talking about ps2)?  what if you finally get enough money to buy that totally kik @ss lancer evo VIII, and then have to turn it off eventually.  a total waste of effort.  and also what if you don't have the time like probably most you others have.  dissing gs is not going to get people anywhere.

it's not like i use game shark all the time.  i try to beat the game first, and then use a game shark; or i use a gameshark when i totally need it, like an extremely hard boss(using another genere for the example).  or when i just want to screw around with things.
 
I dont think its a pointless topic.  I like the gameshark in the game.  But I use is it differently than most.  I like using it to buy the cars I want and race some races that I cant when I want.  Now for those that like to start from scratch, Im a firm believer of that too, so I break out another memory card and start an honest beginning like it was new.  
Its not so hard to do.  Im not into the hybrid thing as it bastardizes each car you play.  
BTW, even though I just bought my game and ps2, Ive been playing on anothers and its kinda nice to have unlimited money and any car you want.  
I will start MY game new though.  Just my .02  .

clarid, I like Supras, I just typed that in response to what's his name's comment, which was something like this:  GAMESHARKS SUCK! :P  They are one of the few Japanese cars I like, along with NSX, 3000GT, and a few more.

Aw come on misnblu, can you really say you NEVER wanted to drive a hemi 'Cuda convertible or a hemi Charger in GT2? ;) lol
 
My take on cheating, for what its worth.

In an essentially one player game like GT3 it's not really that big a deal.

I'd rather play the game within its boundaries. That's my choice.

Some people may not have the time or inclination to play with a MX5 for ages before they get something more fun.

And that is the whole point of games. An entertainment media. My idea of fun is probably very different from that of the guy next door.

Where cheating DOES become a problem is when there is a multi-player aspect involved. Head to head, Ilink or online (not an issue with the PS2 just yet, but certainly the PC market has a thriving online market.

To take an example. I used to play Quake I back in the day. Over the years I saw some seriously talented players get there arses handed to them by people who were cheating.

That IS wrong. Im sure I don't need to explain why, because if I need to explain your probably the sort of person that wouldn't actually give a damn anyway.

To sumise. In the case of GT3 and the Game Shark, the player in question is only cheating himself, and that is entirely his perogative.

skynyrd, did i ever say i did endurance races? nope. Did i ever call you retarded? nope. So what gives you the right to say all that? eh? Youll soon learn that someday, when you call someone a name, that they sometimes dont take it very well. Who knows, maybe it will be some guy who kills people to get a boner. But then youll think to yourself I know DERRR, Ill just use my Gameshark to make myself invisible DERRRR, then he wont be able to see me, (drooling) DERRR you b@stard, dont you EVER call me anything. people like you should be hit in the face with a sack of dead rabbits. Yes you heard me... a sack of dead rabbits!
 
um....that was disturbing...

Ok, on to more interesting subjects.  (looks in newspaper)  Ah, I see a story on the lifecycle of an earthworm.
 
Oh JOY! I want to go where MARBLES PLAY!!!!  Friends don't let friends drive NEONS (saw that on the back of a 1991 E30 318is BMW Race Car)
 
ive never even seen a gameshark in reall life just pictures..and thats the way it will stay there is no point in buying a game to use a cheat and be bored of it in say 2 days at max as you already have everything you can get ... i never cheat ...well tell a lie (i think this is ok anyway) i complete a game then use cheats to get the specail stuff or invincability ..just for a muck about ...the game lasts so much longer than
going out ,
buying it,
cheating ,
get everything,
board stiff (need another game)
try this for a change:
going out,
buying it,
playing it ,
playing it more ,
practice at those leavels yo cant do
complete it ,
then use cheats for a bit of crak
you get much more pleasure out o this and the excitment when you complete an extreamly hard leaval is unbeliveable!! try it
Does anyone aggree with me?
 
To tell you the truth, I luv GT3 the way it is, and no Gameshark will come upon it.... atleast until i beat it...lol.
see, i see that you spend...hmm, ave. $53.00 on a really well built game, yes, it is quite hard...butta what were you really expecting? (maybe a walk in the park?) HA!

GT3 is THE MOST outstanding game ever, and why wast the intence moments on a code? Why? Please, please tell me! WHY?!

Anyway, GT3 to me, is hard as funk, but it sure pays off to see a nice new FASTER car.........that you EARNED!

hmmm well then.......i don't cheat. If polophony intended for you to cheat they would have left code in the game for you to cheat....not make you run out and buy a gameshark. There isn't any reason to cheat in gt3 it's a fairly simple game...you don't have to be a great driver you just need to have patience. after the first few races your kinda on your way to beating the game...it just starts off very slow.fthere are 2 endurances i think that are almost 2 hours ....all the rest are like 45 minutes and a hour and a half.....i know most everybody plays atleast a hour and a half  everyday of gt3 well neway cheaters really suck and they ruin it for all the people who try and beat the game the right way
 
I think the Gameshark is awesome.  Its best to use it after you finish the game the regular way though but I can see wanting to use it for the licenses.  They are so hard to get gold in.  I just got past them getting bronze in most just to get the license.  But if you look at the gameshark codes you can have all golds in every license category with it.  I have yet to finish S license myself.  Its so ****
ing hard its unreal.  Especially driving in the wet roads.  I think I would buy it just to get the gold licenses.  I am only done with 28 percent of the game and the best way to make money is to go to the 100 lap Super Speedway track on Endurance and finish it.  You will get 200000 credits for 1st and a car worth over 250000.  Keep one F090 though.  Its the best traction car there is I think.  It blows away the competition even in Professional.  If you feel you need to get in touch my Yahoo screenname is terrychapman69  Good luck people.  You will need it!!!!!
 
I agree with both sides of this argument. Using the GameShark can be fun in some instances. Notice I said some though. Back in the day, there were games that I just got so frustrated with that I just used the cheat(s) to get through it so I could finally see the ending. There is a point when you, as the game player, has reached your peak performance, and there are times when either the game is still too hard, or it is way too easy and you just want to finish it quicker.

I know this is off-topic, but if anyone played the PSX game Driver you understand what I'm talking about. I played through that game, getting to the last level after a good deal of effort. Then I literally spent months trying to beat that final level. I got so sick of it that I looked up cheats so I could see the ending (which sucked BTW).

Anyway, like people have said above, it really is up to the player to decide if they want to cheat or not. I speak from experience when I say that a game stays fun for longer if you're still earning everything (and damn there's a lot of stuff to get in GT3). It will feel great when you accomplish things on your own (I just got the S-Class license last night--after a couple weeks of trying to get it--and I was damn excited because of it).

So to all those people that are flaming people that are cheating, screw off. Some people may not be as good at playing this game or others as you. But to the people that are cheating, why not practice a little bit more. That's what the licenses are there for. Sure they can be tough, but they teach you every aspect of driving that you'll need.

So that's my two cents.
