My grandmother could beat the game if she saved as much as you do!

Black parade is hard ok?!?!

>>720059587 (OP)
you can't save in online multiplayer games though

>>720059587 (OP)
Sorry bro, I don't have as much time as I used to when I was young, if I die and lose a lot of progress I'm probably gonna get off for the day, at least if I save I won't care as much if I have to redo a small amount.

Fuck you pinko, i'm not signing our petition.

it pisses me off the first Far Cry doesn't have quicksaving or at least non-abysmal checkpoints

Developers should just add a counter for how many times you've saved. It doesn't do anything. It doesn't affect anything. There's no end screen for stats that includes it. It's just to make someone conscious about how much they're saving.

Quick saving should only be an option on Easy.
Normal should be checkpoints only
Hard should be no saving at all

I don't play trash.

SMT4 has this in the Play Log. Still didn't stop me from saving all the time, I think I was over 1000 when I finished the game

It'd be for games with quicksaves since quicksaves trivializing difficulty is a pretty valid argument. I don't think anyone really cares about how much you save in other games besides emulated game with save states.

inb4 "I never quicksave on stalker"
always said by the most aggregious f5 spammers as well

Are there any speed runs that abuse quicksaves?

>>720065183
Any PC game speedrun

>>720065183
Are there any speed runs that don't abuse quick saves?

>>720062450
DMC1 did this and it made me really self conscious and almost never save. Sometimes I would die and lose 3+ missions worth of progress. At least it's a pretty short game

it's not a speedrun if it uses save states, it's a TAS

>>720065251
Ideally a speedrun wouldn't be using any of them, wouldn't it? It's just for recovering and using one would certainly mean you're now behind.

There's a reason why speedruns are typically performed live. There have been instances of people playing a pre recorded video on stream pretending they're playing it live, but they're almost always called out and ousted from the community. if you're not playing it live, there's genuinely no reason to assume they're legitimate.

I do this in BG2

The fun part is quickloading will often make it worse due to the a.i effectively pinging the area upon load and finding you when previously they may have not as they were active before you entered the area and thus subject to the normal a.i awareness limitations.

kind of funny how pc gamers even back then would clown and call console gamers kids or whatever when 99% of pc games are designed with save states in mind

>>720066020
What? Speedruns are mostly performed live on stream nowadays, not live in person. Speedrun events only represent a small fraction of speedruns, let alone actual record breaking ones. No one's traveling to someone's fucking basement to watch them beat a WR.

>>720066020
I miss when speedruns were just people who were really good at the game and played it as a score or time attack. The roots of speedrunning are "I got good" but these days it is far too much "I abused dodgy collision to clip through a wall lmao cya!".

That is why AAA is my hero. He has all the best scores, best times and has never been beaten.

It's not about beating the game, it's about doing everything perfectly!

>>720066412
that's what i meant, tard. streaming a game is still playing it live. I didn't mean that WRs were set literally in a real life setting.
