I will use the rewind feature and there is nothing you can do about it
I do this when I play games emulated, did I beat the game?
Ok. I didn't, and beat the game when I was 7.
>>12458327cool have fun
>>12458329Yes.
>>12458327You can also suck cocks for a living and there's nothing I'll do to stop you
>>12458327Unironically, the only cure to this mind virus, once you have it, is retroachievements
>>12458437Retro achivements is an even worse mind virus. The real solution is using original hardware.
i will now become level 99 and there is nothing you can do about it
>>12458327Doing it unless it is absolutely necessary is degenerate.
So you are a dumb gay baby.
obligatory
>>12458709this is the sort of ""people"" insisting they've beaten the game, and begging you to validate their retarded """takes"""
>>12458713The thing about that image is you can easily make the top and bottom part fit any narrative you want to push, someone can easily make the top part "I played the game, I got to the ending" and the bottom part "It needs to be on original hardware, it needs original controllers, it needs to be on a crt" etc etc. It's not the slam-dunk you think it is.
>>12458739As /tv/ would put it: you're not winning the media literacy award. It's a picture of MENTAL GYMNASTICS hence GYMNASTICS.
>>12458467Good thing FFIX Remake is dead.Censored Garnet and generic Alexandria Female soldiers ass would be cringe.Would probably retcon Eiko crush on Zidane and the soft Garnet scene.>>12458327I have been playing old Marios and to the very least I dont use rewind or states on the levels themselves, just during the world map/start of the scenario to have some level of challenge.
>>12458709>>12458713This boss is bullshit desu
>>12458709I want her to look at my smc like that
>>12458437as much as i dont like the idea of chasing achievements, this is sadly trueyour own badges expose you if you're not playing on hardcore, so everyone knows you cheated
Modern games should have save states and rewinds in them too
were you seeking my approval or something?
>>12459318they all have quick saves or checkpoints every 30 secondsauto modes are becoming more common too, so you don't even have to play the game at all
>>12459341>auto modes are becoming more common toowow, every retro jrpg should have this. Hopefully they find a way to add it to emulators.
>>12458451Thats it. If you didnt play on original hardware you didnt beat the game.
>>12458327Having recently beaten SM64 with all stars on my N64, the answer is no, you didn't beat the game.
Would using a rewind feature on a game that implements it within the game still be considered cheating? Say something like braid?
>>12459750Are you retarded?
>>12459750This is why nobody really beat Blinx
>>12459820Or prince of persia
>>12458327Cool but why? Unlike sunshine, 64 doesn't have any stars I would say are outright bullshit to get so the risk of replaying the level never felt like a threat to me.
>>12458327I play ps1 and snes jrpg's at 2x speed. Did I beat the games?
>>12458761>Good thing FFIX Remake is dead.Is it? They seem to go on and off with that.
>>12459886Only the show seemed to resurface.For now the game latest rumor is being cancelled.
>>12458327I didn't know about the rewind feature and now there will be times that I'll be tempted to use it.
>>12458327Makes sense when you value your time. I'm currently using save points while playing RE1 for the PS1. It kinda takes away the thrill of knowing I might die if I fuck up and have to replay from my last save point.
>>12458713Not really. She is a streamer, it's for money.
>>12459852If you see the credits, you beat the game. That simple
>>12460679>Makes sense when you value your timeIf your leisure time is so limited that the 20 minute gap between ink ribbons makes or breaks it for you, then playing video games is the last thing you should be doing.
>>12458327The one thing I actually appreciate about retro consoles is the lack of rewind and limited saves. The fact that you can sit down for 2 hours to play a retro game and you have no guarantee that you will have even progressed in the game by the time you finish playing.Why? Because it mimics real life. You can set out to do something in real life for 2 hours and have made no progress by the end of it too. Sometimes you even make backwards progress. But you can always try again tomorrow. No matter how hard a retro game is, games are always fair - because they always give you the option to try again.If you can sit down to play a game, try your best, and know that you will enjoy yourself no matter if you make progress or don't make progress, I think you are set up to deal well with life.I think modern games where everything must be constantly saved and safe, and only forwards progress is ever allowed are setting up people's brains poorly for the real world.
>>12461618The real world operates depending on what everyone unanimously agrees on. For the most part, obviously. Things change, and sometimes you can make great progress out of nowhere. Anything is possible, anything can happen; and that too is another thing to consider my friend.
>>12461628Well yes I agree. I wasn't meaning to be pessimistic, to keep with the analogy sometimes you will sit down to play a game and WILL make a huge amount of progress within the game, I just don't think you should be attached to that outcome and only feel satisfied so long as you are making progress.All that really matters is that you enjoy the process, and are able to accept whichever outcome happens.Challenges in life are not all societal. Learning a skill does not depend on society, it's just you vs your own brain. Learning an instrument or learning to skateboard for example also requires setting aside hours of practice that may not even end up in any progress by the end.
>>12459341at least some modern games use common auto saves to fuck over the player as an actual anti-save scum technique.I like that way more than gay older PC games that literally only have quick save/load.
>>12458713Most normal people use savestates because they don't give a fuck about games they way you autists do
>>12458713Pure redd.it mentality
>>12459750you know your argument is undefendable when you have to pretend to be retarded instead of engaging with the idea like an adult.
>>12462020you cheatedmight as well have watched a let's play really, it'd be just as valid
>>12458327>uses rewind and save states in single player>but somehow refuses to use it in multiplayerWhy the double standard? You've got the ability, use them to win.
>>12461618I mean you can also just not be a bitch and simply stop abusing save states.I only use them to save sessions when Im closing the emulator. Same way I kept GnG running on my SNES over night to continue playing the next day.
>>12460679>Makes sense when you value your time.says the guy posting on a webzone for psycopaths about the childens toy he doesnt waste his time playing with.
>>12458713I like how you burn years off your life hyperventilating and heart palpitating over how other people play video games.
>>12458327Can you rewind to before you made this thread?
>>12464510unlikely
>>12463518stop projecting and go for a walk or something, jesus christ
>>12458713>pic>>12463518To be fair, seeing that stuff is kinda grating. Rewind can disrupt the flow of gameplayBut yeah, "gaming communities" are notoriously filled with midwit gatekeepers>>12462035Lol, who cares for validation. I'm not 11 years old seeking approval of mommy and daddy
>>12458713unironically, I use them to avoid spending 20 more hours on a game. Life is too short. If you excuse me I won't be viewing the replies, going to watch a tv show at 3x speed.
>>12461628>Anything is possible, anything can happen; and that too is another thing to consider my friend.calm down Molyneux,
I knew a guy who was fervently anti save-state.One fateful day, during a birthday of one of our friends, we were just hot seating games in some of our friends computers......And then, we saw him reach for the load-state key.Last i've heard, he was still in denial about his savessexuality
I would if I knew how to use the rewind on Snes9x
>>12458329Yes. Rewind features on old games are fine, because they were emulating the dogshit arcade culture that was popular at the time, while also trying to pad their game length with overly difficult sections.
>>12458713>It's my game i can play it any way I want toNice strawman of attempting to put this as mental gymnastics, lmao.
>>12462035>you cheatedUnless it's an online multiplayer game, who gives a nigger-fucking shit-christ? Seriously? Are you a child on the playground measuring your tiny dicks with video game achievements or something?
>>12468043it's a low quality bait lmao>>12468048>Are you a child on the playgroundThere's that. And more: Last i've been on a "primarily gaming" friend circle, they pushed a bunch of ideologues of consumerism, "purity" and "developer's intention".And you know where it's coming from... Mostly from influencers and e-celebs. They spew the same shit and others just parrot them as the word of god.
>>12458327Why would we care what you do anon?
>>12467895>>12468048>I'm not 11 years old seeking approvaland yet here you are, trying to justify yourself
>>12459585Original SNES runs too fast now because of a bad oscillator. You also didn't beat the game.
Rewind turns games into mindless chores.
>>12468119Stephen merchant shitposter here...I wasn't justifying anything? I have no strong opinions one way or the other.If anything, i was just taking the piss out of that debate.Seriously now, in my view, it depends on context, there's far too many variables... Overall it's a personal choice....You tried to look cool here with a one-line slapper. Well, it didn't work well as you thought it would, did it?
>>12468139>validate me!no
You will inevitably trap yourself in an endless rewind loop because you never got good. Which is worse than dying and running out of lives.
>>12468139>I have no strong opinions one way or the other>in my view, it depends on context, there's far too many variablesyou do have strong opinions. One faction says dont cheat, the other faction says I will cheat when I want to. Its obvious what team you are on dont try to pretend to be an enlightened mediator.
