/vr/ - Retro Games

Savestates are godsend.

They're optional and can massively improve experience with games with shitty save systems.

Ton of old save systems don't increase difficulty, they just increase tedium.

>B-but it was intended to be like that!

You are already playing on emulator, there's no reason for ignoring one of its convenient features.

Abusing them for RNG purposes, savescumming and reloading after taking a little bit of damage is just silly though.
But if it makes you happy and you just wanna play through the game no matter what feel free. It's still MUCH better than wasting time on /v/ or /vr/ or just watching some shitty Let's Play.

"Abusing" save states with moderation could also allow you to tackle harder games you would normally stay the fuck away from. You might end up enjoying them and improving your skill enough to eventually beating them without save states.

Is it proper way of experiencing vidya? Who gives fuck. As long as you enjoy yourself it's all good.
