The worst autosaving system ever

[Blackened Halo]

You manually save, you try to destroy the mongols in a camp, you die, the game loads the game in a different day time, sometimes weather, with all your ammunition you spent during your mission gone, with all enemies on their spots.

Why dont the game load my manual save? As if the game did not load your saves but instead just resurrected you after your death so if you had depleted all your arrows, you have no arrows after the "ressurrection"

This game has so many these little things that are literally cracking me up...

Instead of manually saving and loading it, just do the restart at checkpoint instead. The game saves so often, that every time I do a manual save myself, there is an autosav at the exact same time, so just don't bother manual saving except to save the game when you're going to close out the game.

Relying on the autosave will screw you in odd ways. For example, if you have full ghost stance and you get hit, reloading the checkpoint will reset the fight, but you'll still have to rebuild the ghost meter. A lot of times you'll reload a fight but the resources you spent in the fight will still be spent.

Never experienced this issue, maybe your game is broken?

Yeah and also if you have a random encounter with enemies while you are exploring then die it respawns you but the enemies don't exist anymore.

You can go into an area and take all the resources then die just instantly respawn and go away without having to fight anyone.

Game is broken. Don't understand the hype at all. It's such a mediocre piece of trash and I just uninstalled.

You don't have the game....Oh let me guess, you have it on console??? You just come to steam to complain about it??

Like I'd pay out £50 for the latest trash by Sony on Steam

I agree, the save system sucks. Nothing is worse than getting your ass kicked by a bunch of Mongols, respawning and not being able to take revenge because all the enemies just magically poofed out of existence. It seriously kills my enjoyment of the game when it happens. I want to get better, to overcome stuff I previously failed at. The game, however, almost seems to want to make my failures disappear.

Because AAA devs followed the Ubisoft system. Devs really need to let it die off and have an actual save/load system. This isn't a multiplayer game, there's no reason to not be able to load a save.

Game isn't broken. That's how they designed the saving system. It's not actually a save in the normal sense but more like how online games do it.

You can load the save, but you have to quit back to the title screen to do it. I don't know why you can't just load a specific save from the in game menu.

But you're not actually loading back, because you've lost all the items or ability progression you used during that time.

Not if you manually load the manual save.
