Poll: Quit or Cheat?

[Souplex]

No game is hard for me except Metal Slug 3.
I wouldn't quit or cheat if I somehow found a different game that stopped me. I would keep trying and laugh at people who give up due to a lack of chutzpa.

I only cheat if it's absolutely necessary. For example, I was playing Half-Life: Episode 1. Somehow, I was left with only one HP, at a portion of the game where you only have the super gravity gun and Alyx's AMAZING A.I. to help you, right in the middle of a big ambush. Needless to say, I got grazed by a single bullet and died every time I tried. So I turned on god mode and promptly turned it off when I got a usable amount of health.

... or learn how to play? If it's broken then I'll cheat till I can play normally.

 

[YoUnG205]

Cheat. No game shall beat me lol.

 

[FROGGEman2]

Depends on the game. If I'm playing a sandbox game... for fun (Saint's Row 2, anyone?), then I'll cheat on the first play through.

 

[Talendra]

Quit temporarily, come back later, I will not let a game beat me.

 

[Pegghead]

Neither. I'm the kind of guy who says "I'm not going to let this shit beat me" when playing a game.

I never cheat except at Solitaire. Though I did take a 3-month break from Manhunt before completing the last few levels.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Quit. I never cheat, although I never quit either. Hark, A conundrum...

 

[Dsdude]

I cheat if I want to get my moneys worth from th game. But most of the time I can beat them with a little bit of determination.

 

[GeneralGrant]

I cheat if it's a ridiculous and dull objective I have to accomplish and I want to see more of the story.

However, most games don't seem to make it easy to cheat anymore, so I just quit if it gets absurd.

 

[Romblen]

I'm too persistent, like most people, I won't let a game beat me. After I beat it however, than I cheat. Just for fun.

 

[TOGSolid]

Cheating is a sign that the game has beaten you. Only losers cheat.
The obvious exception is of course when you've already beaten the game and are just dicking around, then cheating is totally cool since it's just for laughs.

 

[Numb1lp]

Why would I quit if I could just cheat?

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Quit. Come back later. If you can't win without cheating, then you don't win at all.

Same as everyone else cheated when i was younger but i almost had to go back to
game faqs while playing arkham asylum (friging riddler) but my pride would not allow that

 

[Cabisco]

I take it you mean cheat on single player, well if i cheat it will be for fun. So when i do cheat on a game it will either be because i've ran out of things to do or because i dont care about the game. I believe i'm right in saying i haven't cheated on a game since oblivion years ago, and that was because i was damned bored and the idea of getting everything on the game and making giant mudcrabs was too appealing not to try.

 

[kawaiiamethist]

I cheat from the beginning (as in using guides and faqs), but it doesn't stop a game dicking me around.
