| Re: The million dollar question | |

In Response To: Re: The million dollar question (Evil Otto) : LOL. That is precisely what I didn't say. "The game automatically saves to your hard drive at each checkpoint. I added the words, "and save" to the quit button so people would understand that they won't lose their progress when they quit. What you're asking for is a way to un-save your last checkpoint, which isn't possible without removing autosave from the game." "Bah. I'm an artist, not a programmer. That is how it was explained to me during the production cycle. I trust you guys know what you're talking about." "Why would you even want that? I'm truly not trying to make a huge deal out of this, but it is what you said. Perhaps if I said the game worked this way instead of the XBox itself, it would've been a more accurate statement, but I'd say I got the gist of it pretty well. It just frustrates me that I tried to clear up this exact point over three years ago and it still hasn't gotten any clearer to the people it matters the most to. I appreciate the responses from Bungie employees, I really do. When I posted on these forums with much more regularity years ago I would've loved to see so many people from Bungie and Microsoft actively responding to topics raised by HBOers (maybe the frequency of the responses hasn't changed since then, but I perceive that it has grown). Specifically I hope this discussion hasn't persuaded David Candland to stop posting here because fans will linger to whatever you say - it's the nature of the beast. As for the topic of Quitting without Saving, Mig said it as well as I could. While others may want X, Y, or Z added to the pause menu, after this long I'd truly be happy with a simple quit without saving. Moreover, I'd love there to be more moments in Reach that necessitate scenario-specific checkpoints where I can have fun re-playing the same section over and over. I can't tell you the number of times I played through the last leg of The Maw. I still have a checkpoint saved on my first Xbox with the Master Chief triggering the service elevator to come down with a squad of Special Ops Covenant ready to surprise him. That's really what inspired me to ask the question initially, and if someone responded with "we can't implement it because it's far too complicated" then heck, it would've been cool, but we can't have everything. But to repeatedly get responses of people not understanding how the game functions after trying to explain it...it's just really frustrating. Evil Otto, thank you for responding to a fan's question, even though I may not have see eye to eye with you at this specific example, I appreciate it nonetheless. Oh and thanks to you too Shishka...I guess. -SR
