Good luck to you. I don't use cheats on games unless I've had them for ages. Cheating in a game you've just bought goes under the heading of wasting money in my opinion.
What games have you been playing recently?

Dead Island 2, eh? Cool - that's definitely on my radar. I've been playing Dead Island a lot; clumping zombies around the head with a paddle never gets old.
I really hope Dead Island 2 has a proper day/night/weather cycle though - I was amazed that an open world game of this type doesn't have that.

Fair enough then.
Edit: If you've finished it once, there are mods that dramatically alter the gameplay. One changes it into a more intense horror survival experience similar to Stalker. Google Dead Island mods, you'll find it.

I'm watching that now: what is it, a sequel or more DLC?

There's a bit of design in Dead Island that's a stroke of genius: as well as the usual zombie sounds, some humans have still retained a bit of their original voice so it sounds like you're beating a person to death, and not a walking meat-bag.
By the way, Elite Dangerous has just hit its target! 2014 is going to be such a wonderful year.

Ha ha - you'd have to be a bit of an older gamer to realise the significance of this game. I'll try and grab some links to get you up to speed.
Elite (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frontier: Elite II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When the first one came out, it changed the landscape of the gaming industry. Frontier did so all over again in the mid nineties. Now, Elite Dangerous will turn the industry upside down all over again.
It's expected to start out as a similar game to the older ones - a straight space sim - but it's intended to be a genre spanning colossus of a game. Check the link in my sig to get an idea what's in store, and pop over to the Elite Dangerous thread if you want to discuss it some more - let's not drag this one off topic.

I don't think it will turn the industry upside down. the sheer scope and variety of the industry now probably makes that impossible.
New genres and genre hybrids pop up every year. creative and variation is at the heart of the industry, an example of that no matter how well a new game does that it won't be that huge.

Well, the Elite games have done it twice before. As for creative and variation being at the heart of the industry, I'm not so sure about that. The industry seems in a bit of a rut from what I can see.

Not really. With kick-stater and so many indie games and gaming via apps so many more games of all sorts of types are being made.
Saying they have done it before to make it likely is a bit silly. It was 20 years ago. The gaming landscape now is basically in a different universe.

OK, the effect might not be as profound as it was back then, but it will be noticeable. One of the main reasons Braben decided against a publisher was he wanted more control over what went into the game. Back when Elite first came out, every publisher he took it to wanted it to have three lives and a high score(!) That simply wasn't the vision Braben had, so in the end it was greenlit by Acornsoft. The same is true now. In order to know where they want to take this game, you have to watch some of the later videos that were released during the KS.
Remember, one of the reasons the gaming universe is where it is is Braben himself. Braben and other people like him who wanted to push gaming out of its three lives/highscore comfort zone. He took a vast chunk of the Milky Way Galaxy and crammed it onto one floppy disk in Frontier.
And as I said before, it's likely that only older gamers who have played the Elite games will understand how amazing a new Elite will be, with today's modern tech.
