Save States

[Purple Punishment]

Ive known about them for years but never really bothered with them. So the other night I say what the hey and try one. Unbelievable how people can start games completely maxed out on everything.

As a gamer I think they are useful tool if you ever get stuck on a game and cannot progress nor go backwards. On the flip side, I think it ruins the whole experience of earning, grinding, and working hard at a game. I'm an RPG player so my logic on save states is based on my favorite genre.

What do you guys think about them??

Never used them. In RPGs, I just buy a crap ton of Potions and fight everything before the main boss until I feel im at a suitable level.

I try to earn everything myself.

The only time when I might use cheats or any sort of advantage is if I'm just messing around casually with a game. Otherwise, I try to play honestly before resorting to shortcuts.

Cheats in anything are a 3 fold problem for me , one its subverting the game , 2 ruins the satisfaction of figuring it out , 3 its lying to myself

[Purple Punishment]

yeah it basically drained the fun away from the game for me. the feeling of earning and making it your game is taken away from the begining of the game.

I don't do save states but I do the "Matilda trick" in Suikoden 2. You can push away this wall and level up with Humphery and Futch at a low level
