Which at times is necessary due to poor story telling on the game's part.  
'I've unloaded everything I've got into this boss and he's still  
standing', 'Yeah run around him and press that concealed switch to turn  
off the invincibilty shield', 'How the hell I was I supposed to know that?'

Likewise with cheats do you think people spend hours tapping in key  
combinations such as idkfa or on consoles up down left right X, they get  
released by the game studios themselves.

How about taking advantage of AI glitches?
