Cheats in GTA IV: Difference between revisions - Grand Theft Wiki, the GTA wiki

Line 1:

~~I prefer completing~~ the game without cheats~~; So I never save the game when they are enabled~~. ~~However, I do sometimes~~ [[Image:Grand-theft-auto-iv-640w.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Riding Shotgun Has It's Advantages.]]~~use them if I need~~ to ~~get out some aggression real quick before I go~~ to ~~church~~ or ~~whatever~~.

Advice: You should always try to complete the game without cheats first. The difficulty of GTA IV isn't extremely hight [[Image:Grand-theft-auto-iv-640w.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Riding Shotgun Has It's Advantages.]]so it is well possible to do that. Saving a game with cheats on should only be done after you have amde sure that you either have completed the game, preferably to 100%, or that you simply do not care about all the achievments.

'''(~~The cheats get~~ stored in your phone ~~so you can call them~~ up ~~quickly. You can just save a game with cheats~~ and ~~a game without. Just to be safe, turn~~ "~~autosave~~" ~~OFF when you are playing on~~ the ~~cheat game~~.'''

'''(After manually typing the cheat-numbers into your key-pad, they will be stored in your phone. Simply bring up your phone and see the new point "Cheats" within the main menu. '''
