Yet More Crazy 'No Game Saving' Nonsense.
What is this fetish that game manufacturers seem to have these days with preventing people from saving games ? Utterly ludicrous. With each mission in single player I am effectively forced to play the entire mission, or start again. What if I only want to play for half an hour or 15 minutes ? Huh ? Left4Dead2 is the worst of the whole lot...as there is absolutely no saving whatever. What a joke.

lolz they usually take 30 minutes. and up to an hour if you are like me.
and if you want to play a game make sure you have enough time to play it before you start.
or just leave the game.
and it doesnt save the game. but you can definitely play through each chapter AND select from one of the SUB chapters.
so you dont have to start from the very begining.

It doesn't even tell you which chapters and missions you have already done

if you press the tab button you will see in which stage you are, with a picture. then you just go back to it by choosing it when you want to start a single player game.
saying that it's the worst just because you can't save in a game that is made to be finished in less than 45 minutes (i mean, each campaign) is kinda harsh

I hope not. I'd like to think people are smarter than that.

REMEMBER IT. I do believe you have a brain and good memory cell.

The game saves your stats.
Your argument is invalid.

and so this guy labels himself as a kick on sight player.

But there are other modes like survival for short quick games
and YOU CAN choose which the individual map in a campaign (like the finale) in the game lobby and not have to start from the beginning everytime.

You open single player game and select the campaign then the chapter...it isnt hard.

LOL at all these fanboys who seem to have to make excuses for a pathetic failure of a game to supply ANY sort of save option. All the nonsense about each level taking 45 minutes is just pure bull. Apart from the fact that one might acually want to take longer and enjoy the game....what if there's a power cut at 44 minutes 59 seconds...eh ?? So you are going to think ' Ah never mind....I'll gladly play the entire level again...no problem'......or think ' WTF....I was 2 foot from the safe house and now I've got to start alll over again....damnit'. There is NO excuse for not having at least SOME sort of save option...even if its only 'save points' like in Far Cry.

I am chilled out. But I just find it amusing that some wont accept ANY criticism of a game.

I will admit, this game has alot of issues. This game isn't even in my top 10 list of games. (first is though.. number 5)

But I can beat a campaign in 20 minutes if I wanted.. The point is to beat the campaign, not all the levels in 1 sitting. I did that. Took me like 5-6 hours.
This is meant to be a arcade like shooter, not rpg.
Alot of games even from when I was a kid had no save points. Ghost and Goblins, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden. Yet those games take twice as long as this game to beat.
