Although I have never played that game, I do believe cheating does negate the trophy. I have heard of other games doing that



ok, guess i wont be doing that again.

A lot of 360 games negate achievements if you use cheats. GTAIV and Crackdown both did, so I'm assuming the same works for PS3 games.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

It depends on the cheat and the achievement/trophy. For instance, GTAIV's bridge achievement isn't negated if you use the cheat to get the helicopter, instead of getting it legitimately. And again, in GTAIV, if you use the cheat for full ammo, it won't stop you from completing [most] achievements. Don't use the cheat for full ammo + full health, though - that one DOES affect most achievements.

It basically depends on if the cheat directly affects you getting the achievement/trophy or not.

Yea. On GTAIV. It even tells you which trophies get disabled...



4 ≈ One

I knw u can't cheat in GTA4 but idk about M2



quick question: why would u want to cheat to get an achievement anyway? I understand if you can't beat the game or u beat it already but want to play through with the cheats because its fun....you wouldn't be achieving anything if you got the achievement by cheating
