Classic all the way. I find it easier to have the muscle memory of cheat codes than the muscle memory of whipping out the phone and going through. Also, the first time you put in a cheat it is painstakingly slow.

I chose both because mobile phone lets me enter quickly if i'm using a cheat multiple times like the weapon cheat. On the other hand, combo lets me use cheat in all situations. It should be like in III and VC where cheats can be entered when in pause menu too.

I have already mentioned this somewhere, but the phone should be updated to this generation so You could customize the front screen(s). It would make cheats 2 clicks away.

Every cheat could have a personal icon. Raise the phone, browse with analog stick (or arrow pad) and click your cheat!

That would make it 10x faster than the IV system where You had to browse through text menus.

 

Voted "other".

I hope we activate the cheats just typing; like in SA. Nothing easier.

It's boring to wait the cellphone appears and select a cheat.

Me neither lol I can see their point on cellphone use though, but at the end, the whole not-being-able-to-use-them-in-certain-events thing kills it for me. I also liked the pause menu idea, but in Redemption, it was such a drag to go pause, go through the menus and find the cheat. Maybe I'm just lazy.

Typing the classic code would be very annoying, for example when you're sitting in flying plane and you need health cheat because plane is burning, you "accidentally" type the get-out-of-vehicle-button, which is needed for the cheat, without knowing and there you have your fun. They just get in way. Cell-phone is way easier. It also saves the cheats for fast access. icon14.gif

I voted for 'the classic way' like in GTA III.

 

I don't know why, but that sounds better for me alien.gif

Voted for cellphone

 

If I was under fire from someone, I usually just crouched behind an object long enough to quickly use the cheat, get into a car, and leave.

The health cheat is always on the top of the list in the phone, so it's not hard to find and use.

 

Traditional way on keyboard got kind of annoying

typing HESOYAM everytime I wanted health

And VROCKPOKEY or VPJTQWV everytime I wanted a race car, it got irritating.

 

I would totally support a pause menu option for entering cheats. Sort of like Red Dead Redemption. That could work.

I wouldn't mind the cellphone method if your character didn't put the phone away every time they were shot.

I've voted cell phone, even though I've never played GTA IV. I think it's easier if you have time, because once you have used a cheat, you don't have to type it all over again. And for the cell phone gone when shot thing: it's because it makes it less easy to cheat

The benefit to the traditional way is that you don't have to start over when you get shot. But it is nice to have a cheat menu that you can spam on the phone.

if they decide to bring back the cellphone method, i hope they allow you to use it in cover, rather than make him stand up in the middle of a firefight like a complete idiot.
