/vr/ - Retro Games

How does vr feel about save states and to a lesser extent turbo mode in emulators? Do you consider them ruining the game and not truly playing it or are they okay? I just beat earthbound by basically save scumming the whole thing. I feel bad, but at the same time i feel like redoing 10 minutes of gameplay every time i got unlucky with the enemy status conditions or moves isnt fun. The awful safe system coupled with this crazy artificial gameplay time extension just isnt fun. Am i a pussy bitch vr? Or is it okay to do this
