Save system is horable, game is good.
Enjoying the game, hating the save system. Sometimes you just need to save and leave a game. I finish a long fight, then cut scene after cut scene before saving. I don't want to skip the cut scene, but damn I need to save and go. Why not auto save after a big battle then cut scene? I have had to leave twice and then return to fight the same battle again because I did not have the time to watch the cut scenes. Very frustrating, I mean we are in 2024 right? That save tech was available back in 1997.

No game that I know of allows you to save in the middle of a cutscene.

This is why you do the saving before an oncoming big fight, im at the end of the game and 99% of the time you could tell if a big fight is coming rofl

LOL I just had the exact same thoughts just now.
Not that it was a long cutscene in itself, it was that it was a boss fight, really long cutscene, another cutscene following the first one, battle sequence, then TWO more different cutscenes.

The trails games always let you save after a big boss fight BEFORE the cutscene bonanza that follows.

this game could easily break the cutscenes up every 5-10 minutes with an option to save.

I think the sequence I just did took 35 minutes from start to finish.
Imagine if netflix did that, you want to watch a show that´s 40 minutes but if you need to turn it off at any point you have to start from the beginning again next time you watch?

Did you not read the post? AFTER BIG FIGHT it should autosave before endless cut scenes.

yeah exactly, there is no technical reason for why they can´t say if they have a 15 min long cut scene break it up into 5 min segments and let you know when it saves.
The portion I just did was in fact several cutscenes after another.

Easy to put
"want save now?" between 10 min f.ing movie segments.

There are games which autosaves after a battle, before a long cutscene. There are other game that break cutscenes in segments and you can skip them so you don't need to watch everything again. There are games that ask you if you want to make a save after a big battle, before the cutscene.
