| Topic | If you use rewind/save state to finish a game, did you beat it? |
| Lopen 01/03/20 10:24:36 AM #415: | ChaosTonyV4 posted... Using a password to skip 99% of the game is wayyyyyyy different than using save states. Let's be real it's probably 85-90% at the worst Savestates when properly abused can effectively skip 100% of the difficulty in the game which imo is worse for "beat the game" cred than skipping, particularly since passwords will often leave the most difficult stuff unskippable since that stuff is at the end of the game. It's all about how they're used though. Conservative use of savestates to deal with points of tedium or used as an actual save point you properly enforce game overs on is generally fine as long as you don't delude yourself and be honest with what you're doing. Like it's easy for example to call say Ninja Gaiden's stage 6-1 through 6-3 "tedium" cause you end up having to do them repeatedly when the boss dunks you, but I'd call savestating before the boss room abuse of a savestate rather than "removing tedium" because 6-2 in particular is very difficult so it's not really "tedious" to get through it again and again but part of the difficulty. --- No problem!
