Yall savescumming?

Why y’all gotta call it saves cumming doe

Save the best for last

So I'm confused, I don't speak um..cool guy but if I'm interpreting correctly you guys are saying you save a billion times then you load one of those saves any time you face a challenge?...

Spoiler

I connect dots that may or may not be there but in a real life situation do you wish you savescummed when stuffed into a locker? I'd flip the term as the jock and be like "let's savescum some nerds, this locker can be the SSD" but I'm old skool

nah

its reloading a single save as many times as you need to get a result you want

Did it for XCOM 1&2 (wish a nikka would say they beat this game without doing so) but otherwise try not to, at it's just cheating/cheesing which is pointless

Older games yeah, but newer games, not very often. Not many modern games lack autosave or frequent saving. And even more games lack well defined routes,you might get some additional dialogue but endings vary very little.

The fact it has a name says enough tho, I just feel like you guys have no issue with ruining an experience.

These developers spend years at a time crafting a journey while balancing the game with rigorous testing and once they have their vision complete they send it to you a$$holes who will at the first sign of adversity will Forza freeze the moment and reduce, relive, retell the story as you see fit. I just find that very..arrogant or impulsive? Compulsive? Whatever adjective you wanna use, cut that shyt out. Quit micromanaging and relax, you won't get a shytty ending

In most games

 

[Wildin]

Yep. Some games are too long to just run it back.

Ni-Oh is the only game I've done this in, with re-forging weapons/armor. The RNG on skills is ridiculous, and resources are limited, so I'd run it one skill at a time until I get what I want. Then I'd upload that save to the cloud and move to the next skill. It can get tedious, but it's worth it in the end.

The other games I could see ppl doing it in are the SoulsBorne games if they're trying to get the platinum in as less time as possible (having to do multiple endings). I personally love replaying them games, so I don't bother, but I can see the allure for those that don't care to replay the games.

My savescumming caught up with me yesterday one of the two characters I started in the the game in the slave camp with was killed in a raid yesterday . I been quicksaving so much I overwrote any remotely recent save.
Was the saddest limp back home for a beaten squad. I'm still holding back tears man. I'll make the holy nation pay for what they did
