Pet peeve, games that won't let you save (beehaw.org)

I wish all games would just let you save whenever you want to! Why is using checkpoints and auto saves so common?

At least add a quit and save option if you want to avoid save scumming.

These days I just want to be able to squeeze in some gaming whenever I can even if it's just quick sessions. That's annoyingly hard in games that won't let you save.

I wonder what the reason for this is?

I think creators should make the games they want and users should buy the games they want

Meh, annoying save systems won't stop me for buying an otherwise great game but it will somewhat bug me while playing.

Sounds like you're buying what you want.

[–] nlm@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Well of course. There's always room for improvement though.
