This game is so bad.. why ?

[ProtoRaze]

Okay so im ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pissed right now. I casually played game completeing missions, and all the sudden i get a crash...bye bye game progress ! Why ? because i didnt save. Why i didnt save ? Because its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring to drive all the way back to your safe house and save just so you make sure incase your game crashes. This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid, why couldn't Rockstar just make a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ auto save ? Many games back in the day themselfs had auto saves. But no...Rockstar had to be way more stupid then they already are. Serioulsy this didnt happen just once but many times when i played this game, even on PS2...Meh.

There are lots of savegame files on the internet, maybe you can find one at similar progress. =/

[ProtoRaze]

They dont work on steam version...steam version protects Vice City, SA and GTA 3 from downloaded save files...Jesus Rockstar could have atleast put a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Save Game button in the menu instead of making us drive to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ safe house...jesus christ

There are sites with savegames working for the Steam version (Windows) of the game.
Google should yield quite a bunch of results.

I tried already...it just keeps loading the first mission..

You can just convert them then.

Convert them ? What do you mean by that ?

Actually, given that the initial release of Grand Theft auto, Vice city was actually released on the PS2 first (and as one of it's earlier titles at that; there was even a demo version released for the original playstaytion) it's a bit of a miracle there's a save function at all. Actual save anywhere for console ports is still a lot less common then it is for PC native games to begin with, and at the time of release for Vice city, it was a remarkably rare feature for any game that went on a console, period.

This is why i never liked playing any games on PS2 that required me to play few days to complete it. I instead played them on PC, while i played some crappy games like Spyro that i could complete in a day and such.

But if you look at some games such as Call of Duty 1 and 2 both games had an auto save options for PC version.

Yes, but the first two call of duty games at least, were PC titles first. If you have to choose a ported game, it's generally a good idea to look for one that was released on PC first, then later released on consoles. Unfortunately, this a lot rarer then it used to be.

Or stop being a baby and go save the damn game, jesus it really isnt that hard to save at the safehouse while doing missions. People have become so reliant on auto saves that they have to complain about a game that is well over 10 years old not having it.

Well im sorry Mr. Clever that i want to enjoy game instead of being like "Oh i just finished 1 mission, i should totally drive back to ocean beach safehouse to save a game, yeah totally" Man cmon, having auto save in 10 year old games would have been a great idea, which indeed occured in 10 year old games, but you know Rockstar..

If that bothers you that much, you could always grab an autosave mod ;-)
