Don't know about Xbone, but you can copy savefile on ps4 to a USB. allowing you to savescum in Bloodorne which is how so many YouTube Boss kill videos have people doing it "first try".

that's a lot of effort to try and look cool on the internet. i'll never understand it.

>game allows you to save at any moment and as many times as you want with no penalties what so ever
Why do so many games do this shit. It practically breaks the difficulty of games.
>>
>>329273751
Idk, for games like halo it's part of the difficulty. The game would be broken if you could save ten feet from a brute and keep loading until you nail a plasma throw
>>
>>329277370
i hate that i do this in dragons dogma. i fucking hate it, but i can't help it. it's just too easy to hit start, select.

>The game would be broken if you could save ten feet from a brute and keep loading until you nail a plasma throw
That's why I said that linear games shouldn't have quicksaves
>>
>>329277680
You can't save during a fight, right?

fucking XCOM WHY
>>
>>329277942
no but you can see 2 gorecyclops with 3 sorcerers in a room and go fuck i better save before i fight that shit. ultimately it probably just saves me from cheesing the game with rusted bow and actually playing it.

>cheesing the game

i went all the way up to daimon without realizing you could use the augments earned from other vocations. i had a hard time killing him, like 5 wakestones, couldn't stagger him out of that pawn killing move, then i stacked all the strength augments on my assassin and raped his shit. game isn't even a challenge anymore.

>le hardcore old skool games
>>
>>329278158
I have, and I agree that quicksaves break games, especially when the difficulty is balanced so that you are expected to use quicksaves
>>
>>329273556
I fail to see how that's an issue on a PC. Horribly inconvenient, sure

This shit should have been illegal in the GBA era

I have a very specific save-related grievance with Fable 2.
>there's an item you don't find until near the end of the game
>a gender switching potion
>I decide to try it for shits and giggle
>save my game, drink the potion
>before the potion, my character was an massive old guy with a beard, just a mountain of muscle and fat, like an alpha silverback gorilla
>after the potion, my character is exactly the same, except with cartoonishly large tits and a high-pitched female voice
>pretty funny, but let's go back now
>but I can't
>because the game autosaves when you drink the potion
>literally NO OTHER ITEM IN THE GAME DOES THIS
>it autosaves solely to fuck with the player
What the fuck is your problem, Molyneux?
