The new Prince of Persia is the worst for this! There’s no auto-cloud save, so you have to manually manage uploading and downloading to the one cloud save slot between your three on-device slots.

And no matter what, no matter how long it’s been, it asks about it, like: “Your last save was 0 minutes ago, as you sure you want to exit?”

One time during the final mission in Batman Arkham City I hit the power button at the same frame the auto-save turned on. My save was corrupted and I had to speedrun the story again. Thank god I wasn’t doing Riddler trophies I would’ve gone insane.

Day 347: I’m still trying to exit the game. Send help, I can’t close the game without losing my progress!

SpaceNoodle,

Somebody never played Nintendo back in the day

Even worse. Games with a mysterious auto save “feature” that don’t allow a manual backup save. There’s a special place in hell for those developers.

Jimmycakes,

We need a Luigi on the inside

everett,

Some games actually have this feature.

Zron,

Idk, I feel that’s okay as long as the saves are incredibly frequent and reliable.

I’ve never lost progress in a From Software game for instance, and they have an only auto save system, but it saves literally everything you do as soon as you do it, so unless you deliberately alt-F4 instantly after doing something, you won’t lose any progress.

youngalfred,

Can you reload old saves, or only the most recent? I think being able to reload an older save is important in the case of glitches (NPC walks through wall and is unreachable etc)

GiantRobotTRex,

Only the most recent.

I also have never had any issues with game breaking bugs like that. I’ve encountered some glitches but nothing a save+reload couldn’t fix. Everything just resets to its normal spawn point.

Zron,

Ah, the trauma of every Bethesda RPG player.

There are game studios out there that don’t release broken garbage that needs the player to walk on eggshells, backup saves, and do arcane console commands to make the game playable.

Lifter,

They solved that by having most of the game revert to starting positions frequently (e.g. every time you die, area load).

Maybe not as immersive as Bethesda games but their lore at least tries to make sense of it.

It’s more like playing the Edge of Tomorrow movie, you need to learn where everything is.

JackbyDev,

There’s also a place in hell for devs who don’t include a “save and quit” in rogue like games because they’re worried people will save scum. As if honest people who can’t devote enough time for a full playthrough are less important than people lying about progress in a non competitive single player game.

Ziglin,

I assume it’s more about the hassle of implementing a way of serializing the game state for storage in most cases but if people want to cheat in a single player game let them or better yet seed the rng so that the outcome is the same anyways.

ADKSilence, do gaming w Don't forget to make a 2nd save file just in case.

It's clearly bad juju if you dont then save again just to be sure.

BedSharkPal, do gaming w Goodbye my friend.

Is the pic from the walking dead? Cause if so pretty sure I stopped watching at this season and was curious if it ever picked up again?

puppycat,

it is! this was season 7. season 8 (and a lot of 7, both seasons were the same arc or whatever) was the best season by far imo (I’m also only on season 9 lol)

when my gf got me to watch the zombie show™ I did not expect it to turn into such a crazy non-zombie-focused plot. there are 11 seasons of the main show, 8 seasons of fear the walking dead, a season or two (idk) of Daryl Dixon, and yet another show, the ones who live, released in 2024.

ThrowawayPermanente,

I think they even have a few more shows than that now

As someone old enough to have chosen between save files to delete for space, I don’t really understand why people get so hung up on which games are currently installed.

cone_zombie,

Pffft, I remember typing without vowels to save space

I old enough that, as a kid, every time I wanted to play a game I had had to wait for it to install from cassette.

Besides, download speeds now are amazing.

Horse,
@Horse@lemmygrad.ml avatar

tape load times were a good excuse for a tea break

the download speeds being good now is kinda cancelled out by a lot of games being ridiculously huge now though

skittlebrau,

I remember how amazing it was to upgrade the memory cards in the PS2 to those third party ones.

Whereas the paltry 128kB memory cards in the PS1 were painful to deal with, especially with those games that demanded multiple save slots.

Cartridge based games varied so much with save slots. Some games I recall playing from the SNES era only had 3 slots I think. I remember Mega Man X used a clever passcode feature to let you ‘save’.

gajahmada,

I mean, I’m also old and I get what you mean, but I still feel this way on many occasions.

Games nowadays are huge, and my 50 mbps bandwidth can’t keep up with today’s standard where I’m used to everything happens instantly.

Also modded games are usually painful to reinstall.

With 1tb nvme boot drive. I can generally re-get a game at any time, but i dont feel like redownloading just because the OS is fucked.

brisk,

With that set up you could install Ark twice!

ech,

Lol

levzzz,

I’ve already filled up around 1.5tb on my 2tb nvme ssd

ech,

Hah, yeah. I’m pretty prolific at filling up my drives as well. Should still help, though!

Some games (modded ones) are such a pain to get to work the same way that you don’t want to delete them

SkyezOpen,

Honestly if the mods aren’t drag drop play I don’t even fuck with them. I’ve spent too much time modding games that weren’t made to be modded, and steam workshop has truly spoiled me.

BuboScandiacus,

I sadly don’t, I’m just frustrated that Nexus gobbled up the whole scene.

stupidcasey, do gaming w Goodbye my friend.

I usually delete one of the hundreds to thousands I haven’t played since I was 12 either that or the one game I want to play more than anything else but can’t play with a controller.

MellowYellow13, do pcgaming w Has anyone tried the stadia controller via Bluetooth on PC?

I use a Hori Switch pad ($20) and its amazing, works on everything steam and anything off steam. Works flawlessly on PC

Almost certain this is correct. If this is not correct. I HAVE to know what the answer is.

And the Game Grumps did a playthrough of it.
