I also try not to use save states my first time through... I'll use them if I'm going for a collection item and I've already beaten the game >.>

I only use save states when I'm not even near a save point, and need to quit the game. But I also use them during hard parts in a game, and don't feel like restarting a level over and over. Used it for hacking only a few times.

I use save states all the time. I mainly use them to check out items, different paths or areas unknown, all fights (even little ones), and to get critical hits. I can't help myself... It's like cheating but something so wrong never felt so good

Depends on the environment around me and the point of the game I'm in. If I'm playing games in class (after I study, of course :huh: ) or if there's a party on (GBA games are good to entertain others as well as yourself, particularly if you hook your computer to a projector)...I save about every minute, as in those cases, you can be interupted by others, and this could cause my game character to, well, die. If I'm at home alone, I save about every ten or twenty minutes.However, if I'm fighting a boss, or I'm at a point where you need perfect timing (like the mini-games in Urbz), I save every minute, regardless of what happens around me.

I use it when I'm playing any game. For EX., on Pokemon I use it right after I send out my first Pokemon, so until I get my way, I keep reloading it. For games like Megaman, I do something similar. I save before the chips come out so I get some chips I want at least.

It really depends on the situation of the current game. Usually I won't use a save state unless it's after a long cutscene/ dialogue between characters. That way it keeps me from having to go through it all again. Yeah, the option for using a save state is there, but I believe it takes the quality of the game away. The games themselves can become insanely easy if you over use savestates, or just use savestates at certain points where it'll help. Meh...it's just my own personal preferences...the challenge is fun ^^. [edit]- Forgot one more thing..I also use it in emergencies. Like if I have to leave for somewhere or do something else real quick and no savepoints around, but I guess thats sort of a given.

Since I'm usually playing on an emulator to either re-live an old game or beat a game I never beat before...I use them religiously.

i often save before trying something new like using a stat boosting item just incase of wasting it but i also save at the beginning of most dungeons like on my console games.
