Poll: Sadly, I quit

[mrF00bar]

If I am having a really tough time getting past a certain section of a game I won't spend the next few days bored as hell trying to get past it. Thats why sv_cheats 1 exists. xD

walkthrough
If i know where i'm going and it's just hard i keep going, but if i don't got a clue i use the walkthrough

 

[Doclector]

Definately a walkthrough, even if reading that insanely small font that most walkthrough-writers seem to use makes my eyes bleed.

Coming to think of it, perhaps thanks to achievments/trophies, cheat codes seem to be practically extinct.

I don't use walkthroughs much though, only if I'm really stuck, usually in a way in which I don't know where to go next. Which happened often with the half life series. :G

Ok now games like Final Fantasy I'll go ahead and beat and then afterwards I'll find a recipe guide for the weird combinations of stuff to make more stuff to make more stuff... (etc.)
Dynasty Warriors I used pretty much the same method. Beat the game then find a guide to unlock hidden levels.

Seriously without the guides I could easily spend the rest of my life without finding out this goes with this or whatever. It's kind of dumb to make things so out there.

If I'm having trouble getting past something in a game (ie. I couldn't beat the main guy in prince of persia sands of time) I just quit playing. A year or so later I played it and got through it. Actually got through it twice because idk, some reason I did it again.

I read walkthroughs very carefully because I hate spoilers most of all.

Walkthrough. I can't be bothered to break my back on these things, they're just games after all. I look it up more often than I would like, especially on retro games where the challenge is higher or the game design is a little odd (you can see how much it's improved just looking at some of the crazy shit old games expect you to work out). I especially use it in Adventure games where I don't really care about the gameplay, I'm just there for the story.

 

[Varanfan9]

I use walkthrough first and if it still takes me like 20 tries I will use cheats but onlu for that level or section.

 

[pigmypython]

Nah seriously, I will on occasion use a walkthrough, for something really hard, tedious, annoying or just long (and I don't want to miss anything and have to go back). Otherwise no, I'm legit.

[OneOfTheMichael's]

Walkthroughs are What i always do when i'm stuck in a part of a game i can't go through

 

[floppylobster]

If you're going to use a cheat code you might as well get someone else to play it for you while you watch.

 

[jpoon]

I'll refer to walkthroughs on occasion. Usually I try to stick it out as much as possible though.

I unexpectedly got into Advance Wars: Duel Strike on the DS, and I'm on one of the later (last?) mission where I have to get to rocket sites before the enemy... Whatever I try just doesn't work... grahhhhhhhhhghh!

Jesus didn't quit when he was nailed to a Cross.

Dude, he was nailed to a cross, I can't see much 'get out' in that situation... How you do pry the nails out? With your teeth?

 

[Lionsfan]

I try to go as long as possible without using any advice but if I just can't figure something out, puzzle wise. Then I'll use a walkthrough. But if it's just difficulty, like I can't clear a level type thing, then I'll just force my way through

 

[Ickorus]

Walkthrough? Yes.

Cheat? No.

I only use cheats after i've completed a game just to have a bit of extra fun, walkthroughs I wouldn't consider as cheating unless you're using it throughout the entire game in which I would just ask you why you bothered buying the game.

Oh and with me using walkthroughs I only use them if i've tried tons of times and am well and truly stumped.

He's Jesus, he could have activated the 'Messiah' cheat.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

You just gotta do the impossible bro.

This is pretty much what I do.
I often overshoot where I am looking for in Walkthroughs (Yes, I know the search button exists) which often spoils the story and I don't really like cheating as they can disable trophies/achievements and if I'm resorting to cheats then there will still be worse things to come later on so I better get skilled for it. Unless it's a final boss but even then, I've gotten this far without cheats so I'm not gonna start using them now.

Cursus - I forgot about the 'messiah' cheat! Having said that he respawned and use noclip to escape the tomb... If that ain't cheating what is!

(Yes I know he supposedly rolled the rock away but that still would involve either a gravity gun or god mode)

 

[Cazza]

I get angry at it. Stop let it bug me for a few days to finish it. Use a Walkthrough try some more then cheat. You know the usual thing.
