What's your opinion on getting video game achievements with the help of a guide?

Specially the ones where you have to find stuff.

I usually attempt and manage to get them without looking up any info, but other times I miss something and I don't want to go thru the tedious process of re-combing whole sections of the levels, or even starting over, just to find some stupid note that I overlooked. Yet, I want the achievement, so I end up looking a guide and I feel like I haven't truly earned the achievent.

Yes, I know that playing a videogame shouldn't become a task and that I simply should play it the way I enjoy it the most, but I want too see what others think.

If that's what brings you joy and how you like to play games, more power to you.

Seriously, it's a game. There's no wrong way to play if you're having fun. One time I got stoned and zoned out to the start menu of ATV Off-Road Fury 2 for 30 minutes, it was one of the best gaming experiences of my life.
