TopicWhy pick infinite money over save scumming or debug mode?

Even if it was just one day you could have unlimited money pretty easy, yeah. groundhogs day is a very limited example of it, cause he was stuck in one town. If you had no such limit you would be able to do alot more, even within just 24 hours.

Save scummings means you NEED to be aware of your ability, and your past decisions, or you would not know when to "load" a previous save. Now, it might be limited to you only making a certain number of saves mind you, which could seriously limit it's potential, but even just 2 saves could allow a base save at 20, and then an additional save you use along the way to make sure everything goes your way.

IF you only had 1 save, and had to reset to it every time, then yeah, starting at 20 you coull initially groundhogs week/month etc it till you have a great start (always repeating back to the same starting day) until eventually you live a good 20+ years each time, and then reset back (boosting tech etc so new things are ready for you).

So even with only 1 save, you would be set.

Still, debug mode generally lets you alter the game, which means altering the universe, it's physics etc. You cculd make yourself forever young, you could fly, you could move objects with your mind, you can persuade everyone to do what you want, your biggest ...challenge, would be boredom to be honest.

See at least with save scumming your still working towards a goal which takes effort. With debug mode, anything you want you can have, right away, there is no effort, and therefore, there would be a very short period of time where you actually appreciated anything and then you would just be bored to tears.

I'd say save scumming is better than that, except if you reset back to the last save when you die, that again means your eternal, and eventually you would be bored to tears with no escape (Which is worse).

So both debug mode and the money allow you to actually cease to exist. Save scumming might, if you can just erase all the saves, but without that, your stuck in perpetual existence which would be horrific torture eventually.

Even the dude from groundhogs day tried over and over to kill himself.
