10 Video Games That Punished "Cheesing"
Resetti did warn you, to be fair.
For those who are worried that this title suggests multiple games include cheese in them for no apparent reason, it's worth clearing from the offset that "cheesing" basically means doing things in a cheap or unfair way.
Generally, this refers to outright cheating, as that's when people are mad enough to actually have a conversation about this kind of thing - whereas if it's something you do by yourself in a single player game, it's hard to care quite the same about the moral implications of it.
Unless you're one of the developers of said game, in which case you can find yourself nobly drawing up ways to prevent people from cheesing their way through your lovingly constructed creation.
And some are definitely less forgiving than others, designing frankly brutal methods to stop you at every turn - and to do something so cruel that any player who is on the receiving end makes sure to never repeat their mistake, lest they suffer another time.
If you find yourself on the wrong side of all this, you won't exactly leave with fond memories - but you'll definitely still remember it for a long time to come.
10. Not Letting You Finish The Game - Turok 2
While it's nowhere near the most savage move a game has done in response to cheesing, Turok 2 manages to kick you down at the last possible second if it registers that you've not been playing the game fairly.
Because, if you happen to use cheats to speed your way to the final fight of the game, you'll then be blocked from witnessing the final cutscene - which is likely a good part of the reason you actually skipped to the end of the game, and thus immensely frustrating to be blocked from.
There are ways around this, of course - namely going to the stage before the final area, no-clipping to the final door, and then reaching the level this way so the system doesn't register that you didn't actually play the game to get there.
But it's still definitely taken more than one person by surprise when they thought they were fast tracking to see the end of the game, only to be denied it at the very last moment.
