Topic	If you use rewind/save state to finish a game, did you beat it?
MetalmindStats 12/30/19 12:35:08 AM #129:	lordjers posted... 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. Here's the problem: you're calling mechanisms that come with a given game "cheating" just because they weren't in the game's original version. Would you also say that you haven't truly watched Blade Runner, for example, if you haven't seen its original version? I wouldn't say no votes are inherently wrong, but it's no coincidence that the people who have spent time arguing for it ITT are exuding a gatekeeper mentality, which is inherently wrong.

Admittedly, I did use save states to beat (the 3DS ports of) Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3, though I wasn't exactly saving in front of every little obstacle and sequence. Nonetheless, the lordjers of the world can feel free to disregard my opinion now. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." You won the CBX Guru Contest, Advokaiser!
