In Response To: Auto-save nightmare (Rockslider) : Yeah, that's worth having nightmares over. I've occasionally shuddered at the : thought of how things would've been if H1 had auto-saved each checkpoint. : The sheer pain this would bring, in trying to set certain things up! And : the ease with which your careful work could be lost! And if you wanted to : replay a battle which has checkpoints in it or at its conclusion, you'd : have to make and use a new copy of your save each time. Arrrgh! : With faster and faster consoles, I'm concerned that auto-saving might become
Let's make sure all of us here understand this clearly... the checkpoint design is perfectly fine. That through the course of a game we pass certain checkpoints and the game silently preserves them is *just fine*, why would we want our game experience to be constantly interrupted as the Xbox asks "You've crossed a checkpoint. Save?" That would be horrible. No, auto-saving checkpoints is fine... the problem is when these autosaves then become 'permanant' saves tied to the user's profile. That's what you're railing against and I'm 100% with you on that. I just want to make sure any Bungie dev doesn't look at the use of the term auto-save in this thread and assume it means one thing - that they'd rightly look at us as morons for even suggesting there's anything wrong with it - when we're talking about a different aspect of the game design entirely. - M
