Too often in the AAA console landscape it's less a conversation and more of a lecture, a strict set of rules laid down from above designed to give everyone a roughly comparable - and predictable - experience. There's just something lovely about what cheat modes do about the conversation between the developer and the player. Who doesn't want to load up the Fat Man with infinite nukes and let Diamond City know who's boss? Just the one time, maybe? And it's a shame: I remember loving cheat codes as a kid, whether I was using them because I couldn't beat a level or because I just wanted to screw around. It's a codified nod to the cheat codes of yore, something that developers never seem to put in their games these days. The cheat menu is basically what it sounds like: a menu that gives you infinite caps, ammo, materials, perks, quest items, bobbleheads or whatever else you want (godmode is having an issue on Xbox One, it would seem).
