Save feature is weird

[WhyNotZoidberg]

Why even is there a manual save feature if I can't save my progress within a location?

I finished a location, saved my progress, wanted to come back to it, and... nothing has been saved?

Sorry, but that is completely counter intuitive and stupid. The save feature right now is only for backup saves, because the only way to actually save progress is to leave a location. I get why you don't want people saving mid dialogue, but why the hell is saving even a thing if it doesn't save my progress within a location?

Seems like a really weird choice and it's so counter intuitive I literally keep forgetting it works this way. Everytime I come back to the game I have to redo the last location. Please, just let us save our progress inside locations if not in dialogue. This is really weird.

Just like you said, it is for a backup save in case you die or need to go back to the area or something. It only really seems like a problem if you are savescumming.

Yeah, whatever. Pay no attention to anything I actually wrote, or the fact that it's super stupid since saving works differently in literally 99% of all other games.

And if you'd actually read what I wrote, then you'd really understand that this is not about save scumming, but hey, reading is hard, I guess.

That isn't true, there are tons of games with checkpoint style saves.

[WhyNotZoidberg]

Checkpoint, yes, but they don't offer you the illusion of a real save feature that still sets you back to the last "checkpoint". You and I are talking about completely different things.

yes the manual save is useless, i beat 1st demon and then went to hell gate another cutscene then i have to go so i manual saved, was expected at least reset me to after beat the demon but no i have start over entirely. i continue play until witch wake up then long cutscene dialog then i got option to interact object or talk to my 1st client, then i manual save and gtg. come back i have to watch entire cutscene again. refunded

you can manually save on the map between locations. otherwise it will use the last checkpoint.

[WhyNotZoidberg]

Yes, everyone figured that out by now. Given how long some interactions can be, it's stll idiotic design.
