For the Noble Soul achievement I set it to unlimited time/health and then jus got all ring outs, it wasnt easy, but it wasnt as hard as it would be wit normal settings

I wouldn't count that as cheating, you still fulfilled the requirements and they would have probably disabled the achivement if the developers though it was cheating to do it that way.

It's not cheating, but you didn't " achieve " anything.

In my mind its not quite cheating but its definately close. I done the acheivment with all the settings set to the hardest difficulty (since ive been playing the Soul* series for around a decade) and when I got the acheivment I actually felt like I had acheived something more than just some gamer points or a pretty Icon. Then again it only took me about 3 or 4 minutes from start to finish (did it first time) so I never got frustrated with it.

Nope

LoL! Matt, do you make these threads as jokes? You always feel the need to ask if you are cheating on every game you play.

Need help? Just ask! :)

Did it feel like cheating?  If it did then, yes, it's cheating.

 

ps- I used this method too after many attempts at getting it legitimately.  I felt bad about it.  I'm over it, but I know I cheated to get it.

I did it. Didn't feel like cheating. I'm just happy i got a hard achievment outta my face but i still have more which ill try to get today.

If the options allow you to do it then its not cheating.

Cheating is entering a code or hacking.

If you define "cheating" like that then the debate is over, because technically this method wouldn't be "cheating"- but it's still "cheesing."  

Anyways, I think that definition is flawed.  Not many games have codes or hacks, but you can still cheat.  For example, setting the game time and/or penalties in a sports game to off in order to easily get the "get a shut out" or "record 20 blocks" achievements.  The options allow you to do it, but I don't see many people calling that legitimate.

If it feels like cheating, it's cheating... and I cheated to get this Achievement too.

I think whatever you do to earn an achievement is legit because you at least thought up a way to get it.

The wierdest thing happened to me. I read this thread and thought...hmmmm i'll try that. Got the noble soul achievement...hooray. I went back to the dashboard and checked my played games list to see how many points out of 200 i had. It now reads 0/200. The achievements i've got are coloured in but the scores aren't registering. Any body else had this problem ?

I guess the moral of the story is do things properly or don't do them at all.

Hmm the plot thickens. If you were to compare achieves with me the scores will show but the noble soul achieve won'tt. This is weird.
