Poll: Quit or Cheat?

[Hazy]

No game is too hard for me.

I have conquered Demon's Souls! The word "Hard" has lost all meaning to me! Praise me as your new God!

I will now go play Contra, with 1 life, while handcuffed in space.

[HEADING=2]I HAVE SPOKEN![/HEADING]

OT: I used to cheat, now I just play through it. Or quit.

 

[Veylon]

I'll cheat for fun, but I don't fool myself into thinking that I've won.

 

[Cunnysmythe]

I only cheat after I've finished a game, and even then it has to be a game where you can't achieve true uber status without cheating.

 

[ERadical]

I'll finish a game then cheat and mod the hell out of it

 

[Vacancie]

I used to cheat as a kid, but now I never cheat unless I've played it through at least once.
If I get to a part I can't do, I stop and try again later or look up an easy way to do it online.

 

[DC1]

Never Surrender! That being said, I guess I'm a cheater. I can't remember the last time I did, though.

 

[deadnate]

I don't cheat i more or less glitch to get past a part. And never on purpos. It be more or less i be trying to find a way around something, like in borderlands i will stand on a high spot so a hard baddie can't get to me.

 

[p3t3r]

i didn't even know there were cheat codes for games now days. maybe for pc were you can just open up the files or whatever

 

[dante brevity]

Games are for fun. If I'm playing something that is otherwise enjoyable, but becomes frustrating (in a bad way), I cheat, minimally. No one gives you no-cheating cookies.

 

[I Resurection I]

I use to cheat all the time until on my ps1 and then i got my ps2 and became very stubborn with the games getting the best of me

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Shouldn't there be a neither option? I just peservere. I did that on the Epilouge of COD 4. I did use cheats for certain games that would allow them as a child, but I used them for fun purposes only. I didn't use them to progress through the game.

 

[Urgh76]

Cheat? I could never do that! Too high, honor sense have I

 

[13thforswarn]

I never cheat unless I'm just screwing around like in GTA. Spawn a tank and rampage through the city. I would have picked "neither" if that was an option because i never quit a game forever, only temporarily, and cheating makes the game boring.

 

[open trap]

Neither, i stick with it untill i get better. The only games i have not finished are Assassins creed Because i got bored and Medal of honor allied assult Because it is old and i lost interest

 

[Podunk]

I'll cheat on older games when the only other option is to play through the entire game again to get back to where I was. Modern games tend to be more 'fair' and 'balanced'.

 

[matsugawa]

If by cheat, we mean not just codes, but walkthroughs as well, then I'll definitely cheat before I quit (I mean, I bought the game, I want my money's worth, at least to get through the story). More often than not, I'll just put the game down for a while, sometimes several months or even years, before I pick it back up again. Strangely, that tends to work more often than not, even if I haven't been working out a strategy in the meantime; Maybe it's just to do with mindset. If however, putting it to bed for a short time doesn't change things, then I'll go to the guides.

 

[Robert632]

if i can't get past one part after 3 hours of throwing myself at it, then i look how to do that one part, and then i go and continue. ussually it's omly the broken bits that force me to this, but even then i sometimes get nothing.

 

[Earthbound Engineer]

If a game is too hard for you do you quit playing it or do you cheat?

I used to cheat when i was younger, but now i can beat most games easily. With the exeption of Starcraft. Was never good with RTS

Well, as a hardened gamer, I'll have to say neither. Although I didn't have the same mentality when I was younger, I memorized every cheat code on the GameShark.
