Fuck you ff9, I was having so much fun replaying you but you fucked me in the desert temple.
auto saving in modern gaming: yay or nay?
Thats at least one positive thing modern games did. Autosaves everywhere.
With older games I hammer the quicksave key at least every 5 minutes. Usually once per minute depending on the game. I HATE losing progress over stupid bullshit.
>MFW game has no autosave, and no ability to have a quicksave key, and saving manually takes 30 seconds of navigating menus and waiting
>also MFW I quicksave accidentally instead of quickload while falling into a bottomless pit or otherwise have a 100% guaranteed death waiting for me.

Fuck you normie gecko piece of shit

no matter what you do you always are a fully functional member of the society
>>341985576
Hell yes, auto saves are just a pure quality of life feature that should be in all games.
>>341985269
everytime this happens i always end up dropping the game
even if its the best game ive ever played, losing so much progress is the worst feeling

Couldn't you jump off a tall place in F3, quicksave before you hit the bottom, and then quickload to fall safely?

Beat fire temple. Beat water temple. Sleep mode 3ds and go to bed. Kid grabs 3ds and uses all my arrows bombs bombchu fairies and spends all my rupees at chest game when I've already gotten heart piece and doesn't know lens of truth trick.
3ds still closed now. An hour of grinding rupees to get my items back or hours worth two worst dungeons....gross

>mfw the game is great but the developers couldn't program a saving script to save their lives, so when some genius hit a major power-line nearby mid-save, the whole empire I built from scratch went up in flames with no backup.
>>341985576
It depend heavily on the game. That shit should never be in a game where you can miss something by having it locked off later or in a game where you have direct control over your stats and have to micromanage them for shit.
>>341988429
I'm pretty sure almost everyone who played that game did that at some point.
Shit was so annoying too.
>>341985269

Literally nothing.

>sit in disgusted awe at how minor what he took was for him, how devastating it is to my gaming
>ps2 was 13 years old at that point and a good memory card was hard to find.
I still think back on it and get a twinge of the blackest depression thinking of how much of my teen life was wisked away by a fucking mexican to have more room for fifa rosters. It still hurts just typing this up.
>>341986369
This. Fucking this. Fuck that stormy city in FF6
I'm still mad.
>>341988652
golden sun 2 was her name.
batteries died DURING a frantic last minute save. you know, that part where it says "saving...do not turn off the power"
never finished and never played the sequel
>>341985269
Who gives a shit? It's a fucking videogame, you play it for fun. I've lost hours of work to pc crashes because the retarded software I use doesn't have an autosave feature and no one manually saves every 5 minutes because its a complete flow killer. Now that is real pain.
>playing Majora's Mask
>make it half way through Ikana Temple
>game locks up
>Playing Risen on release, got into it and played for long time
>Never thought to save
>Enter cave and instantly get crushed by a trap
I was apparently on the third chapter, there's four.

>Not saving at all times
I don't even notice when I save nowadays, it just happens. It's instinctive.
>>341985576
the Hitman method works great
>>341990673
I never understood people who didn't save every five seconds or so. An exaggeration maybe but I am constantly saving, just in case of bullshit like that.

And then autosaving was born

That's brutal man
>>341990905
I dislike autosaving b/c when it first caught on, I always felt uneasy since I felt like I didn't save whenever I just turned a game off. Still feel that way. If there's a way to manually save in a game, I'll probably prefer it.
