/vr/ - Retro Games

Guy who posted Rygar here. First off, I now know that if I ever want to troll /vr/, I should bring up savestating.

My point was that Rygar doesn't have much in the way of a continue system. And unless you have the time to sit for several hours to complete the game, you should use savestates so you can tackle it a section at a time. I agree that abuse can ruin the experience, there seems to be some confusion between the difference of savestating vs. savescumming. If you're reloading after every hit you take you're not playing a game, you're having a tour.

Any NES game that takes longer than an hour to complete and has no continue or a poor password system can benefit from savestating. It all depends on how much time you can devote to it.

That said, continue arguing about it if it pleases you.
