can you back up save for Impossible mode and reload the backup when you die?

[dorohn]

I just want to get the hand cannon lol. I dont care if I cheese it. Does backing up the Impossible mode save and restore it when you die work?

[Drake Ravenwolf]

Yes, you can also just escape and quit to the main menu before the death is finalized and load the save without ever exiting the game, at least right now, I kinda expect *that* part to be patched out tho

Since right now the save is deleted (if it really is ever deleted) at the end of the death animation instead of at the start of it

Though, shouldn't you just play on hard then? Or are you just after the fingergun?

I guess my way of thinking is backwards to yours; I would've asked whats the point of playing on Hard when you could play on Impossible? :-P

Same level of difficulty, only minor drawbacks, AND you get special rewards for it

Yes, but on impossible the whole point is that you can't reload your save. If you're just after the rewards then you might as well just open wemod or something and breeze through it so you can ng+ on hard.

The fact that you're suppose to restart at the beginning if you die on impossible.

The very fact this discussion exists proves that. People circumventing the restart on death mechanic just for a foam hand thingy that makes isaac go "pew pew" and a shiny armor skin.

Why I think it'll probably be patched at some point, but this is how the game released so until it is patched - this is the intended behavior

fyi, im not playing the game anymore, its just in my library. ill wait til 2028 where its the 20th aniversary of dead space original release to play this game by then most probably the game will be fixed. with
- 0 stutter
- properly utilization of cpu and gpu
- good cpu temp

It plays quite good now, definitely needs a perfomance patch but so far it's playable af.

Unless a key item required to progress doesn't spawn in an you only have the one save in an impossible run... oh wait...

Dude you don't need to defend it. You're save scumming the challenge mode, so just own up to it. No one actually cares that you're doing it. I was just pointing out the obvious that unless you're doing it specifically for the pew pew gun then you should play hard.

Eh... no... I'm not. I'm here on the forums instead of playing the game because I don't want to ruin an impossible run in-progress cause of one of the aforementioned bugs - I'm waiting to play until they patch the game. Maybe that patch includes the "fix" to the criteria for impossible mode you think is supposed to be there... or maybe this really is the way they intended impossible mode to be
