Re: There is usually something to make me quit playing a game after a while

Not necessarily. While I also think that lots of people use cheats too
much, there is a use for them if something is too difficult in the
game to complete. This happened that I needed to pass a helicopter
mission in GTA: Liberty City. My pal gave me a list of cheats and I
chose only one - slow motion. Even with that I completed the 7 minute
mission with only 2 seconds to spare.

I do remember how hard it was to fly a helicopter in GTA (that RC toy
mission to carry bombs to a contruction site), especially with just a
keyboard back then. Three axes of rotation plus height control?
Gah. Felt like my brain was trying to turn sideways.

Somehow I muddled through but also got a controller for the PC soon
after. When San Andreas came out there was no question any more, driving
and flying with a controller, on foot mouse + keyboard was the only way
to go.
