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
: the norm (that's if it's not already; I'm not sure as I'm pretty much just
: a Halo player). Game developers, listen up. Do not auto-save
: checkpoints! Don't even think about it! You won't be doing us a favour,
: you'll be doing the exact opposite.

I've been playing Fable II lately. It has autosaves, and allows only one save per gamer.

It is very annoying, for the reasons you have outlined.

Fable I let you keep up to five distinct saves, which was very handy if you were trying out different options or approaches.

-Nate (thinks that on the whole, the designers probably don't want us to be able to do this experimentation, but he sure enjoys doing it)

Why don't they teach them logic at these schools?
