but there just comes a point where you ask yourself if it is fun dying a hundred times at some part of a game. I don’t think so, personally.

Honestly depends on how the game handles it. When it makes you go through a long death animation and a long walk back to just try again? Perhaps not. Otoh, I’ve possibly died 10,000’s of times in a single level that I never beat after like 60 hours and I still had fun with it. So many of the deaths happened within seconds of each other though.

Anyways, cheats and glitches can be fun. I had action replays growing up and some cheats are fun or allow you to focus on the things you care to spend time doing. Like using cheats to get extra rings to buy stuff for your chaos or the glitch to reuse animals/chaos drives because you don’t want to spend forever in levels when you could be hanging out in a chao garden more.
