Almost all the time if I'm not familiar with the game. I'm not "hardcore" anymore, and most games I play that aren't new are practically chores issued by friends that I undertake so they stop bothering me about them. ____________________ Exate Land - ZC/ZZT works from years past.  The irony of this layout is that I have a "scrooge personality". Onyx suggested it, and I was bored.   |

Yes, I use them, pretty many times. I use at least 3 save state slots most time (mainly I play SNES games, so I can save and load fast). That doesn't mean, that I'm saving in every second, and beating perfectly unharmed the game, just liking to have some different save places. However, I guess I could beat the games without savestates too (except Megaman), but it wouldn't be that fun. I'm not that patient time, and yeah...I'd need more time for games, and I want to beat so many games. But...I don't have that much time for playing, so I don't want to start levels all over again. ____________________ |

I often use savestates in games that don't have a save feature *looks at SMB3  *, or sometimes when playing RPGs, when I'm far from a save point, etc.
Most of the time, though, I just use the game's built-in saving function...  ____________________

| This user's save state usage varies by mood, attitude, game, e-t-c.
A case of no save states: Call me badass because I've played this game before off the PC, I should try to avoiid using them A case of few save states: That's another level completed, lemme just save here and load if I mess it up A case of some number of save states: Ok, I just want to beat the game, OK? Instead of dying all the time. Here's a safe spot, I'll save here... A case of several save states: Enemy killed with no damage, save state. Took damage, load state. Killed enemy--oh wait, grenade got me. Load state. A case of many save states: Save state, kill enemy using Frame Advance. If no item drops, load state, advance one frame, save state, do it again. Also this scenario: Save state, muck around a bit (the reason for doing this varies), load state when I'm done / mess up ____________________ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Posts = 2186 Age = 885 Lv 71 Exp 3041038 / 3167114 LvExp 25227 / 151303 (16.7%) PostExp = 2086 ExpTime = 50.305  |

I'm trying to cut back on my savestate usage. Normally in SMW hacks, I would use the rewind key all the time, but I'm trying to stop that habit by having Rewind disabled. ____________________ |

Paulguy's Post configuration I pretty much suck at games, so I tend to have to use them a lot, but I try not to. I tend to be careful, though. I dislike watching a let's play where the person just totally save-spams, but makes absolutely ridiculous mistakes just because they can reload to 2 seconds prior, and end up taking more time than they should.
For RPGs and stuff, I just use them along with the ingame save system, yknow, just in case. Also, to skip stupid cutscenes before bosses and whatnot. ____________________ |

Plus with passwords, copying one down wrong can cost you progress, and you may not be sure if you entered it in wrong when loading the game or copied it down wrong while saving, and pieces of paper can get lost.
