The average cattle these days is too lazy to manually savestate and just uses rewind to undo any mistakes so they can "play" video games without actually thinking for even one moment.
bg1+2 you couldn't save in combat so every encounter had to handled in one go, they shoulda kept that for bg3. also quickloading completely destroys the thievery mechanic and gaurantees that with enough patience u can full steal every vendors entire inventory, it's cringe.
>Half Life, Doom, Thief >quicksave >quickload
Couldn't be me. If I die, I go back to the autosave, pistol start the map, or restart the mission. Saves are for quitting.
Maybe if they made games where failing and recovering from it was fun maybe I'd stop savescumming, but in most games that's not the case.
Doesn't matter. If you used savestates, that means you literally hacked the console's RAM to set it to an advantageous state whenever convenient in order to gain an advantage. That's cheating. If you finished the game by cheating, you did not beat the game. Same thing if you used a chess computer to "beat" a grandmaster at chess. You did not actually beat the grandmaster.
the only time i felt i actually abused save states was to beat ghosts n goblins but that game is fricked and i just wanted to play it without never getting past the first level so i had fun idc, but i wouldn't pretend that i "beat it legit" or anything
this is like the only acceptable use case for save states aside from TASing or something, anything else is just zoomers conceding that they're too shit at the game to beat normally
Nah, I just used save states to save time. In the list of all things that matter in life, beating a game (with or without savestates, in lieu of regular saves for emulation or otherwise) is at the bottom. I just have better shit to do. Since I'm about to finish shitting, I probably won't be on Ganker until the next shit arrives either.
games are electronic toys, they are to be enjoyed in any way you find fun
you´ll never do something actually worthy of notice or even close to a real achievement inside of a videogame
didn´t meant to
I was just pointing out that because nothing you do on a game is worthy of notice, you are actually free to engage with it in any way you desire
there´s nothing at stake, no status or credit to be gained or lost, its just about fun and what that means to you
Honestly savestates often don't save you time. You end up never learning the game or reloading constantly to sate your autistic desire for perfection even when you could've just pushed through your mistakes.

It's not laziness, it just saves time in games with power loss. You don't actually play these games and have no clears so this post is just posturing.
People complain about savestates, but then load up Baldurs Gate 3, Half Life, Doom, Thief etc etc and

those games were designed with those systems in mind
BG3 obviously wasn't and the rest probably neither
They weren't, quick save/load ruins all of those games but PC gamers need their crutch.

they could not keep that in bg3 because it coded by gays and crashes mid battle.

Modern games have checkpoints every 3 seconds, infinite lives/retries, no game over screens, regenerating health, etc
you didn't beat it
I never played Memory Card (sounds dumb honestly). When did playstation make a console that used cartridges?
You didn't even play it, shut the frick up.
Um yes sweaty, I did beat it
No you did not.

what even is that, emulator?
NSO probably. Basically, yes.
Holy frick, imagine streaming this thinking you look like anything other than a pathetic homosexual.
Literally me
What happened to these guys? They used to be decently popular then vanished.
kwab
why didn't he reload his hair loss?
Okay but how do you reach the barrel? Land on the platform after that, and jump back while running or something?
I did beat it. Seethe, cry, cope, seek therapy, meditate, reflect upon it, improve
>improve
Ironic
You didn't beat it
If I beat you with a hammer instead of my fists, did I truly beat you?
If you saved and loaded instead of using crystals in tomb raider you didn't beat the game.

>this makes boomers cry and shit their pants as it lives rent free in their heads

Refusing to use save states has unironically increased my joy of older games. That restraint makes me feel better when playing a game.
Writing down passwords sucks, I'd much rather use save states.

using thatvto turn the xp multiplier down to like 0.9 might be fun actually. i capped out like 15 hours before finishing the gane
I've only ever used a trainer for DMC3 on my second go around, I do not care if it makes me a gay I am not fighting those angel things ever again
Cheating is always wrong, git gud or just watch a video of the game on Youtube.
I don't care.
I don't play the same section over and over until I start screaming
I miss James and Mike Mondays, man.
I don't know why I opened this thread, but I did. I don't think it is a very good one. You should probably not post here again.
God I suck
go into the truck with the ration over and over, it respawns every time
I’m not playing the first level of Mario a million times now frick off

if snoy souls were hard people would had hate them
NES ninja gaiden is too hard I admit it
That's funny because I saw the credits roll so therefore I did beat it.
Not only did I use Save States, but I also use cheats, get rekt homosexual.
>my time has no value

You're playing video games, aren't you?
>video games are only fun if im always progressing
Using save states is cheating but also who fricking cares
using save states CAN be cheating, not necessarily so though
i don't give a frick i cheat on games if i want, but it's funny when people try to defend themselves. Then we have absolute bananas stuff like this:
