frustrating save system

[Kizuna Dragon]

Other than that game is an old school masterpiece. Maybe patch in an auto save system kind of like the RE2-3 remakes.

Exactly, or simply a permanent to use tape in the inventory would also be nice.

not needed IMHO

I think its suppose to be like the old school ink ribbon saves in Resident Evil. Maybe the dev can correct me on that?

Yeah its basically an ink ribbon from RE. Tapes in this games setting makes sense.

In my opinion, they should not add in auto saves unless its on a easier difficulty. Because the whole point is to be old school and for the player to make difficult choices and not be able to SPAM SAVE every 5 mins.

Because that takes away any sense of challenge or danger of losing progress and dying. But on an easier setting, it wouldnt bother me as i wouldnt play that mode.

There really is not enough save tapes for this type of game. If you really want it to be a classic Resident Evil save system then let each save tape pickup provide three save tapes like in RE (where you get three ink ribbons per pickup).

Or better just scrap the limited save amount idea and make it unlimited saves at limited locations like in almost every other survival horror game (Silent Hill series, RE series after the first three games, Alien Isolation, The Evil Within, Dead Space etc etc).

Having unlimited saves at limited locations does not make these games easy, only less frustrating. Frustration =/= difficulty.

Game is already easy the way it is. You can get tons of ammo, healing itens and save tapes.

There´s no need for infinte saves. You don´t need to save every few steps.

Yeah, I'm not bothered by the save tapes although it might need a couple more in the main campaign. Other than that its great. They could add in an easy mode for auto saves as long as their are options.

The developer stated that there will never be autosave implemented.

[NewRaven]

There are plenty of save tapes after the first hour or so. I never had less than two in my inventory. Just use them only if you actually accomplished something in game and not every time you see a checkpoint you have already visited five times before and everything will be fine.

Save system is old school, but the game is normal mode....

it is and i understand that. However there is a reason auto save was invented. Some old school things are just annoying and shouldn't carry over. not everything in those old school games were "good". Again the remakes of RE2-3 have an auto save and a manual one and it works perfectly.

[Powellinho.72]

You find it annoying but not everybody else does. Lots of us grew up with save features like that, and i never had an issue even as a child playing them.

So, you actually don't understand it?! Because the reason these things were invented is exactly the same reason some players craved for a game without these inventions. And while you have plenty of choice as far as games with these inventions goes (for example... you could just play the remakes of RE 2 and 3...) those players just haven't. Now there is one small indie-game released catering to their "old school" taste which, intentionally, doesn't have these "inventions" and people start coming here to complain about an game intended to being old-school being indeed old-school, instead of just playing something more "modern", which is obviously more of your taste. I don't get it. At all.

I grew up with it too. Resident Evil was the reason I bought my Playstation (well the reason i begged my dad to buy me one) But there is a better way of doing things now. Like i said not everything in those old school games was a good idea. Things evolve.

I feel the limited save system doesn't really serve anything in this game. Combat wise the game is really easy, enough ammo to kill every enemy. Just shooting enemy until knockdown to go melee them gets the job done. Usually you take hits only due to unfair camera angles, when the camera doesn't even properly show the enemy. Almost every game these days have auto save, which makes them easy to pick and play since you can basically quit anytime. Here I feel we have this old school save system only for the sake of it, but it doesn't really add anything challenge wise since you don't really run out of resources.
