Do You Consider Hitting The Reset Button Cheating?

Unlike life, video games offer us a chance to undo some of our greatest mistakes. When you flub a critical mission, do you reach for the reset button or live with the consequences?

 

Some games allows players to keep playing even after they *** up certain missions. After finishing a mission, some gamers have chosen to restart their console in an effort to complete the mission again with a better ranking.

 

The question is: how often to you find yourself doing this? Do you like replaying a scenario over and over again until you achieve the perfect run-through, or do you feel that reloading an old save every time you *** up ruins the purity of the experience?

I'm guilty of restarting levels just to get it right. It is not cheating because I can choose play how I want to.

Most of the time I restart if I am given the opportunity. But I appreciate it when the dev lets me continue after *** something up.

Can't really say that I have unless it made me redo the mission. I rarely replay games either so....

If I am trying to achieve something and by not resetting I have to play through the WHOLE game again then yes I am going to reset.

I like to keep playing even if I know I messed up. I find some of the funnest experience have been had by messing up and going on with a handicap to use a method I would never have tried to succeed.

I don't consider it cheating though because for some games that don't have quick save and load or auto save to a single file I can see resetting to rectify a mistake in a very long game.

Torchlight+Enchanting+failed enchant=dashboard visit. That's the only one I consider 'abusing the system' and still abuse. I do make a save file before deciding on which reward to take in games like Oblivion and other RPG's in case I don't like the weapon/reward after I get it.
