I do think a statement is bound to be taken more seriously when it's directed at you in particular.

For example some boys could say "Girls aren't allowed in our treehouse". Maggie shouldn't take this so seriously, even if that includes her, it's just a silly rule they have for whatever reason.

However when the rule says "Maggie isn't allowed in our treehouse", I do think there's more of an explanation to be had.

the analogy is fine. an analogy doesn't have to be 100% similar to the discussed thing to get a point across.

Racist undertone aside, it's not fine cause you can replace "black people" with "people who use rewind" and it still isn't what he said.

So you would say you haven't seen Blade Runner if you haven't seen the original version, correct? If so, I'll at least give you credit for being logically consistent.

I'm assuming this is about different versions of the first one right?

If they've seen some other version:

Have they seen Blade Runner? Yes.
Have they seen the original version? No.

This is sort of like if you've played only SMB1 on All-Stars you can't say you've played the NES one, but in a general sense you've played SMB1.

None of the people arguing for no have attempted to answer my question about whether or not you've actually seen Blade Runner if you haven't watched the original version. I'm legitimately curious.

You watched that other Blade Runner version; you didn't watch the original.

I'm curious, what specifically is it that makes it still qualify as cheating for you? Is there something you believe about how a player might learn differently using save states vs playing the game naturally (IE playing the whole stage over and over every time they die to the boss)?

Basically this:

HashtagSEP posted...
Well, yeah, but the argument could be that they didn't get good at those tough sections by playing the game as it's mean to be played, they got good at those tough sections by abusing savestates.

There was zero hostility in that statement. It was an honest assessment.

Although it's amazing you sense hostility in my post and not in the original tweet...!

You pretty much said "stay away from me cause I'll always reply like this", in a topic which implies discussion with others. The original tweet is harmless cause it ain't directed at no one in particular and it'd only affect at people who want validation but not on his terms, which doesn't seem to be anyone ITT.

And you've made clear what the "no" people think doesn't affect you, so there's no real point on commenting on my generosity in that tone if not for some sort of mockery.

I'd say which of save states or skipping is easier is determined on a case by case basis, but getting through Battletoads with warps is definitely harder than someone who went through the whole game but with save states. So yeah you beat the Turbo tunnels, but saving after every other wall? eh ok.

Something like Fire Emblem's arena comes to mind too. Someone ITT mentioned how there's basically a rewind function in them nowadays. Alright, but that ain't the case in the original, so if you use save states there you're effectively repurposing a very high risk high reward location to a comfortable grinding area.

A for the tedium thing, it's very subjective on what is considered as such and what not, and whatever the case it's still part of the game, so if you don't wanna repeat that the stakes on the actual hard part are raised.

Not exactly sure why "in the official release" became the line for cheating or not anyway.

You use Power Overwhelming on Starcraft for the PC, or you Gameshark the N64 port for invincibility, you cheated either way! One was in the official release but they're both doing the same thing.

I guess the logic is "Beating a game through cheating" is still beating it cause "beating" is in the sentence. And I guess that includes paying somebody to do so for a game you might as well have never seen. That's where it's come to.

If you use a Game Genie to put Mew in your team in Pokemon Red, it's cheating.
If you had you cartage over to Nintendo and they modify your save file to put Mew in your team, it's legit.

Being official matters.

So I guess if Miyamoto shakes your hand and says that you have now officially beaten all Nintendo made games that somehow makes it real.

It'd be a cool story to tell at least.

I mean, you can do an attack in a game that misses or hits for 0 HP but it still registers as an attack...!

Except when Dagger can't concentrate

But that attack still targetted you. In this case it's like a monster told a party "raaarghh! I'm the most powerful there is!!" and at that same moment some others in a faraway town suddenly lost some HP.

People like you have had valid arguments against the question at hand that I respect, even though I disagree. The difference, of course, is that you're willing to respect others' opinions, whereas the lordjers of the world aren't.

So you felt like been apologetic yet singled me out for some reason. Talk about attacks lol

I mean, yes? The person doesn't necessarily have to care about the attack for it to be an attack.

I don't go out of my way to clarify that I looked up a solution, used a save state/password, a Game Genie, or what have you, because I don't really think it's important how someone beats something, but I'm not ashamed that I've done it or anything. I also almost never care to 100% a game. If you want to discount the way I play games, fine. I'm still going to keep playing them that way. I think it's dumb to obsess over 100% completion and grind for hours in RPGs, but more power to the people who have the time and patience for it.

It would only affect people who actually care if the way they finish the game by rewinding is validated or not. If they don't need such validation, it's not even directed to them cause the merit of beating a game is meaningless to them.

Can you really say you beat Mario 1 if you just warped straight to the end?

It's allowed by the game itself so yes. However as a kid it still felt like cheating. Still, beating it without warps actually lets you experience the whole game.

Then wouldn't you agree it's rather weird to somehow feel your own personal satisfaction is hurt just because somebody didn't beat a game the way you think they should have?

My personal satisfaction ain't hurt. For example, MetalMindStats using save states or not doesn't affect me or my gaming goals.

I do however think a game can be generally appreciated if you get to know it more. And finishing it by its own rules is a very natural way to get to know it more. Using save states liberally is against the original design so that's why people say it ain't the right way. The game just wasn't programmed with that in mind.

Real talk though, if I can play psychoanalyst

Someone like Matei has put all these hours of his life into struggling to get past overly difficult games, and now feels like if he cant get social value out of it then it was all pointless, and he doesnt want to feel like it was pointless, so he gatekeeps.

If he was actually having fun with the experiences themselves of playing games that way, he wouldnt care, because then he still would have gotten something of value out of it.

Dont play games that arent fun for you, people. Life is too short.

I don't think you can get social value out of beating games lol. Not since school at least. It's more of a personal satisfaction.

Because anyone who cares how anyone else beat a game is doing so because they see some inherent value in the ability to claim as much, which is a toxic attitude to have

I do see some value in that. And it's not because I like to belittle others, it's more something like "oh you climbed up that mountain too? Cool!" (And I don't mean getting there on a chopper).

Well, the verbiage I personally used was "gatekeeping," which I stand by and regard as pretty reasonable considering the tweet that prompted this topic was an unprovoked and unnecessarily aggressive argument as part of a discussion that literally no one was having.

I don't see how "let people play (and finish) single-player video games the way they want to" is seeking validation. Do you, on the other hand, not see how an opinion like that presented in Matei's tweet comes off as a hilarious attempt to claim some kind of feeling of superiority? "Maybe we both finished the game, but I did it the REAL way, so I'm better than you." That may not have been the intent, but it's how it reads. And people pointing out why that's a ridiculous sentiment aren't automatically "triggered" by it.

His is an opinion like many others. But then people respond with something like "I'll play the game damn game however I want!", so uhh well ok? He wasn't telling you how to play the game. Insisting that you beat the game even with save states is legit does come off as seeking validation, otherwise why not accept you really didn't? Not that you would care anyway. There doesn't seem to be any way of saying you don't really beat the game if you cheat without coming off as condescending apparently, but accepting a game's terms and still getting to finish it it's something that's ingrained with part of the gaming culture, so it is what it is.

I guess a middle ground of sorts would be saying that you beat the Switch version, specifically, of X game, and with save states. Lots of specifications to be made for what it's worth, but otherwise it's left too ambiguous. I think that's already been said ITT, but whatever.

Beating (quote unquote) it with save-states also avoid the need to even be aware of enemy patterns and general strategies. You just gotta get lucky in short segments, one obstacle at a time. You end up not really knowing the game.

I don't get why the ones voting "Yes" are getting so triggered, it's like they need the validation they're so ironically mocking.

Semantics. Technically you would also "beat" the game if you walked into your friend's room and he let you perform the final strike against the final boss of a game you've just seen, but really now.

I somehow didn't even notice this one

I don't even know what this is


86. KIM KARDASHIAN: HOLLYWOOD
This was a decade of mobile games unapologetically tailored towards young women. Before Choices: Stories You Play, before The Arcana, before Mystic Messenger, before all these other successful mobile games for girls, there was Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.

While not a visual novel like the other specified titles, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood was perhaps the biggest indication that a mobile game for girls could be successful. Naysayers scoffed at the idea of a Kim Kardashian game. But within five days of its 2014 launch, it had already made $1.6 million.

Its delicious, campy fun the player moves to Los Angeles and is greeted by Kim K., who takes them under her wing as they rise in fame. Its the drama of celebrities, the allure of playing dress-up, the glamour of Hollywood. More importantly, it paved the way for a whole genre of games that didnt exist for easy consumption 10 years prior.

man

like I never wanna be the asshole gatekeeper in the conversation, because like, people should like whatever games they like and I mean, really, this top 100 list is just a list of opinions like anyone else's, and that's cool, and games should be for everyone

but this is a little bit of a mystery to me


This game is literally the Dragon Quest 1 of its genre though


Why you gotta insult DQ1 like that though.

Behemoth ain't generic, it was even a boss in FF2j. Adamantoise was a boss in FF3j.

Considering JP3 was hideous and that JW was Force Awakens levels of carbon copy, it's Lost World easily.
