Ummm, where is the QUICK SAVE?

[Chinese_Pizza]

Easy post. Where is the f'n quick save that ALL games have since 1998? Dev, get your'e act together!?!?!?!? Until you fix all the BUGS (stutters, graphics, crashes), we need a QUICK SAVE so we can quit wasting our F'n time waiting for the bug fixes.

It may not have quicksaves but atleast the game doesnt save using only 1 file. Im at the end of the game and can reload any of my previous autosaves.
Entering and exiting buildings/areas saves the game.

The game has enough checkpoints in my opinion, I don't mind there not being any quick save. This aint Starfield. This is Robocop!

Actually, until they fix the game it's not Robocop, it's RoboCrash and waste of 20m of my life.

Quick Saving negates Skill

Not to mention in a game that decisions matter, those Quicksave scammers love to save the game before every conversation or decision so they can load and try something different if they don't like the result, making choices pointless as well.

Quick save makes combat pointless, choice pointless... At which point it makes playing the game pointless as there are no stakes anymore.

In the best examples of games that have decisions, these decisions influence the whole game and came to a conclusion many, many hours later in the game. No amount of quicksaving could undo that.

Take, for example, the excellent The Witcher 3, which as history recalls, was utterly ruined by quicksaves. Wasn't it? ;)

how about crashes at certain scene transitions, forcing you to replay a checkpoint over and over?

[NickDestroyer2]

Not ALL. Dead Space remake, Resident Evil 4 remake and Alan Wake 2 don't have quick saves and they were released this year.

EVERYONE is missing my main point. I don't want a Quick save to be OP or cheat the game. I want it so I can save where I won't have to REPEAT quests, CONSTANTLY, because of bug crashes. Pretty freakin simple. No politics. No "I want to quick save before a boss battle". I'm getting fed up with an Auto Save 6 minutes ago and now that the game has Frozen/Lock Up/BSD, I'm forced to waste valuable time REPEATING (fill in blank), after working a 12 hour shift.

[The Chosen One]

We're not missing it. We simply don't agree with you and you don't like it. You may not want it to cheat with but that is simply an end result of it. Some games also just aren't designed with that system in mind. While others are.

If you don't want bugs or crashed don't buy games on release... and absolutely don't preorder.
Wait 6 months for devs to fix the bugs and modders to improve the rest.
The games on release that are AND good AND bugfree and extremely rare. Even games like BG3 which is amazing (so I've read ;p) has (had?) its share of bugs.

Yes, it's a bad thing. This "just don't use them" doesn't work in this case.
Adding quick save ruins the experience for those against it.

I don't need quick save, but at least give option to quit the game when I want to, and continue from there.

[Smokey The Bear]

Yes, the lack of manual saves really ticked me off at times. Sometimes I went 15mins without an autosave, then I had some household chores or something to do and my only option was to just leave it paused for an hour or quit and lose 15mins of progress.

Quicksave is just a question of free/liberty choice.

If someone wants/needs a quicksave option/choice, it's good to be implemented in the game.

If people don't want to use that choice ok.

But it's not ok to not autorise people to have this option if they need/want it in the game : you are just not obliged to use it, but who are you to restrict the presence of a choice/option in a a game ?

People are free to use a game as they want, as they need.
It's their choice, and of course they better known what is good for themselves...

A gamer is free to have the game experience that is better suit for himself.

Options in a game give the possibility to tailor the game to your needs : not everyone needs to play the game in the same way.

More choices, more options, give more freedom to different types of gamers, that's a very good thing.

Less choices, is excluding more people from the game.
So simple to understand...

(And of course here the question was to prevent problems as using Quicksave for this).

The prison level when enter outdoors with swarms of mercs and almost no cover at all, and have to re watch that cutscene about the merc leader all over again, come on man. Checkpoint system at its worse.

[Sharkle_Bunwich]

Wtf do you mean "since every game from 1998?" Quick saves stopped being a thing in most games for close to 2 decades now in favor of forgiving autosave and checkpoint systems. The only games I've seen them in as of late are Bethesda titles because they still use an engine that supports that.
