How do you resist save scumming?
By not caring? Stop treating everything like its some kind of unspoken competition.
>haven't quicksaved in a while >quickload instead
>>738289595I believe the Witcher 2, at least at launch, had a system that modified your saves before the dialog with your decisions after it. It wasn't a universal thing, I guess they set something like ~2-3 minutes window between
>>738289595Just don't
There's a guy on twitch who has been attempting to beat XCOM 2 without taking damage for months. He's my goat.
In Fallout 4 on the highest difficulty you can only save when you sleep in a bedIt's great until you've been playing an hour without seeing a bed and the game suddenly crashes to desktop
>>738289595depends on the game if its something like outward then I respect the games wishes but if it some grindy porn game or something with alot of meaningless travel we getting those saves bro

>>738289668But /v/ has wormed its way into my brain and makes me question everything I do in gaming and whether or not I'm a disappointment.
>>738289595I don't think there's anything wrong with save scumming using in-game saves. If it was against the dev's vision for the game they would disable it themselves. If you're on an emulator and you're reflexively making a save state for every event though, maybe you just need to unbind your save state keys.
>wait for autosave>hard save>hard save into a different file>quicksave>hit exit game>ALL PROGRESS WILL BE LOST SINCE LAST SAVE ARE YOU SURE>mash no>start doing it all over again
Damn right mmhmm
>>738291491that's the stuff
>>738289595i save scum all the time, the alternative is losing time and i already did it before, no need to do it again
>>738289595by playing games that isn't retarded when it comes to RNG>90% to hit, point blank>miss>enemy turn, kills your character with a 10% to hit attackBRAVO XCOM, FUCKING BRAVO
>>738289595I do a no save scumming game when I feel like it, minmaxing and story generating are both valid ways to play
>>738289595Resist?
>>738289595>Do you wish to save?>Yes>Your previous file will be overwritten. Are you sure?>mfw overthinking what this question is asking me
>>738289595At this point, games sometimes don't even have manual saves and just autosave whenever they feel like it. At one point, I would save twice just to be absolutely sure it worked. Now, I maybe save when I want to turn the game off and come back to it tomorrow.
>>738289595Tricking my autism by using hardcode mode in retroachivements
>>738289595No one:Absolutely no one:OP:*slurp* *gluckgluck* *slrplrrlrlr*
>>738291491This anon suffers trauma from losing his save once.
>>738290823Fallout 4 is never 'great'.
>>738289595by having fun
>game has no way to save manually>quit to title>All unsaved progress will be lost. Quit anyways?>yes>Saving... do not turn off the console.
>>738289595If the game respects my time, I respect the game.If it doesn't, I cut down on that however I fucking feel like.
Honesty. Make the decisions you want to prevail rather than what the game might reward.
>>738290154>Make a huge fuck up>Good thing I quicksaved recently>Quicksave
>>738291491>Wait for autosave>Hardsave>Hard save into a different file>Quicksave>Save again to another file>Quit>"Would you like to save your progress?">Yes>Open game next day>All save files got corrupted by letting it save on exitFucking distant worlds 2
