Do you savescum in videogames, or do you live with the consequences of your choices/mistakes?

Personally, I used to savescum a lot in games like Xcom but ended up spending so much time running trough the same missions I wanted to win without losing any soldiers that I decided that I'd just have to ironman the game out if I wanted to ever actually win it.

Why would I want to save my cum? I spill where I please.

Nanashi needs to make more Yupiel porn or at the very least a full manga adaptation.

Probably savescum on the first run.
I also don't mind reloading if I don't get my desired outcome due to failing a fucking diceroll. That shit can fuck right off.

>>718071302 (OP)
Depends on the game.

>>718071302 (OP)
If I die most of the time I completely restart the game no matter how depressing it would be, however lately a lot of games ahve gotten harder and I've gotten a lot older and worse at games so this is starting to cause me real emotional damage.

I love my modern waifus.

Depends on the game tbqhdf
>XCOM, Rimworld, Stellaris
I accept the outcomes as presented
>TWWH3
I declare war and then find out I can't actually reach that settlement this turn? Fuck you.
>Fire Emblem
Enemy lands a 35% hit 1% crit? I'm seething, coping, dilating, shitting, cumming, and restarting the mission

the only games you can really save scum in are wrpgs and they literally build around the mechanics by the loading the game up with tons of front facing dice rolls lmao. retards love this genre btw

>>718073914
For me it's the classics

>Looks at painting
Hold on a second…. Is that a… NIPPLE!!!!???
MOOOOOOOOOOODSS MOOOOOOOOODDDSSSS HEEEEEEELP

Used to always play games on hardest difficulty only and savescum constantly. Nowadays I'd rather have a well-balanced challenge where failure might be more costly, although if the game is well designed even the hardest mode will be fun while limiting your saves.
But if the game is luck-based then you can bet your ass I'm still gonna savescum.

Plutonia has been testing my patience but I only save at the beginning of a level

>>718071302 (OP)
I generally won't in RTS or roguelikes no matter how painful it is, but I will in RPG with heavy RNG mechanics. Any fucking dice-roller gets save scummed every roll no matter what since it's basically a required mechanic to enjoy the game.

based cum spiller

I savescum with visual novelesque games and rawdog action games.

>modern
This art has gotta be at least 5 years old at this point

>>718071735
What if you need it later though?

>>718074314
No, it's 10 nipples.

>>718074694
"modern" in art is everything under a century - then again, some games age like bananas

>>718074694
Fine here

>>718071302 (OP)
not only do i savescum i use cheats to get past mechanics and parts i don't find interesting.
so many gamedevs think annoying players is some galaxy brain move so that the fun/interesting mechanics hit harder.

I can't help myself if I have the option to savescum
I don't emulate that often though. I do use trainers for modern games for gamespeed boost quite often, it helped me get through every Yakuza + spinoff in 3 months

>game gives me an option to save and load
>somehow autistic trannies convinced themselves that using such feature is bad
How about dont use any weapon other than the first one you got and god fucking forbid you pick up any health, armor or whatever regen there is.
Why stop there, if you die you start the game FROM THE BEGINNING. No fucking checkpoints or level selects you fucking pussy.

>>718071302 (OP)
Usually yeah, but it all depends on my mood and in how much fun I believe I can have.

If I believe savescumming will make the experience more enjoyable, than I do.
If part of the experience of the game is being hardcore, than I don't, or I avoid as much as I can.

Hard to believe with what the mangaka’s history is

Savescumming isn't that bad. You wanna know what's bad? Feeling like you need to start an entire fresh save after you've made significant progress in a game, to have a clean slate. I've done this, you've done this, we've all done this. It's that nagging sensation that your first run was just to understand the mechanics and now you can really begin. It's that insecurity you get after returning to something that's been on your backlog. Don't even get me started on early access games, and having to start fresh with each major content update. This shit is worse than having actual OCD.

>>718076227
Calm down nigger.

hell, savescumming in Xcom can still lead you to a game over state due to fucking up the geoscape/sattelites shit

>normal game
Yes. Any skill checks failed or dialogue choice where I answer wrong I load back to before I made the choice.
>game that has meta bullshit to it
I live with my choices.

>>718077443
>Yes. Any skill checks failed or dialogue choice where I answer wrong I load back to before I made the choice.
at this point if dev allows save-loading and doesnt have some meta counter-measure or funny dialogue to call you out they are just asking for it

>hardcore 1 life game-mode
>you can quitload back to the last save at any moment
what do you fucking expect me to do? just stay there and die?

>>718077881
I hate when games allow that.
I'm looking at you Rimworld and Battle Brothers

>>718071302 (OP)
I savescum furiously because most of the time I don't think the consequences of my choices are fair or because I don't think redoing the whole thing from scratch / continuing playing with the consequences I were dealt will be fun enough.
