I use them in almost every game, come to think of it, I almost never use the built in save system in games.

I have a wireless keyboard, so when I move around on my bed I have a tendency to reload my games. Thus, I use Save States all the time.

I have a save addiction. I save all the time I hate screwing up and not being able to fix it.

I used to use it all the time but I stopped as much as possible now, but just once in a while i'd do it like just before facing a really hard boss. Thats why if its a game I like I would buy after playing it on emu so I could play without cheating.

Originally, I used to use most of the save states. At least 4 anyway. Thsi way, I can explore multiple story paths (if there are any) use different characters (for strategy games) and save at interesting parts of the game. <3

I use save states at every boss, this way I can beat them when I want. <3

I just get way too angry when I lose, that I have to use savestates constantly.

I always use in-game saving, for every game but one. Glory days essence of war doesn't have in-game saving so I use the save states there.

I only use the save states when I clear certain parts in the game that, if I died and had to do them all over again, I would literally destroy the game :angry:
