Beating with save states and rewinds is just a thing to specify when claiming to have beat a game. I don't think you can say "you beat the game" without adding that you used save states and rewinds. That's like beating Contra with the Konami code, and just saying "you beat the game" and not elaborating that you had help, or using a Game Genie/Game Shark for any other game, and saying "you beat the game" without elaborating.

Yes, it's beating the game, but there are lots of ways to beat a game. Usually a conversation involves more than a couple words. I wouldn't go up to someone and say I beat Tetris, and then walk away. There is certainly more to a conversation about what difficulty, or how you did it, and explaining your thoughts about the game.

So ultimately, Yes for the poll. It just has caveats.

If we have to dance through these hoops after the fact wouldn't the easiest solution be you either beat the game on default settings exactly as the developers intended it to be played, or you didnt.
