Please stop the Ribbon save....

[🦜Cloud Boy🦜]

People are busy these days. They need to go to work. How can they play the game if there is no way to save the game without the damn ink ribbon which sometime needs hours to find ?

It's a 20 year old game by this point. But trust me, it's only hard at the start. After the first few hours, you are going to have so many ink ribbons you'll never use up half of them anyway.

Don’t play the game before going to work first….

It takes less than 10mins of exploring to find ink ribbons and they always come in bundles of three next to typewriters the first time you find one. Trust me, the first 2-3 hours of the game are the hardest and you’ll be cruisin from there on then.

The game has a total of 30 ink ribbons and they’re not that hard to find, so stick with it. As long as you’re not saving every 5 minutes you’ll be fine. I doubt that they’re gonna bring them back in the modern RE games but you’re playing an over 20 yr old game. It’s not like they’re a common thing that need to be stopped today, and they provide a unique system to stop save scumming and heighten tension in the PS1 and GameCube survival-horror entries.

People didn't need to go to work in the '90s?

If you need "hours" to find an ink ribbon, you're doing something wrong:

You can save a whopping 30 times on Normal (highest difficulty available on a first playthrough). So if it takes you around ten hours to finish one character's scenario, that means you can save around every 20 minutes of gameplay... and that's for a blind playthrough, the game will hardly take more than a few hours once you know what you're doing.

Want even more saves? Pick Easy or Very Easy mode.

The era of this kinds of peculiar save system has gone long ago . That's why the developers themselves ditched it in the later Resident Evil installments.

Capcom remastered the whole game, they could have easily added unlimited saves at the Typewriter (like the Resident Evil 4 and onward), or checkpoint based save system.

I am busy too but the ink ribbon system is far from being a problem.

Would probably be one of the most challenging achievements to get in Resident Evil, to finish the whole game without saving, that or the knife only play through.

I got both, it wasn't that bad, only 2 places that you can get screwed rly hard.
Generally save system is fine for this kind of games. I wouldn't change anything.

They ditch it for games like 4, 5, 6, and Village, that give a flying crap about being actual RE games anyway. RE7 and RE2R are modern games and they do still have at least one difficulty with limited saves and no/fewer checkpoints.

It's not about eras, just different game structures targeting at somewhat different audiences. Otherwise, nobody would play rogue-like games, or many other way more punishing and time consuming games these days.

Entire game takes 3-4 hours to finish with +-30 ribbons to use. I dont get your problem.

I'm getting a bit of : "make everything super easy because i'm super important adult, I have to work and i feel entitled to everything" kind of vibe.

The title of the topic suggests that this is a protest.

[Nickpowah]

Don't play a game that requires saving if your on a fixed time schedule. People these days so entitled and want things their way and not otherwise XD. This generation has gone soft and don't know what time management is kekw

[Poison Potato]

Maybe manage your time better?

[Mahmoud]

First of all, there are 3 ink ribbons at the very begining right next to the saving point, then you'll easily find 6-9 other ink ribbons right next to the storage box. that's more than enough to complete the game in several hours.
Second, dunno if you're really familiar with "survival" games like: R.E, silent hill, alone in the dark ...etc. If you want an action packed R.E game switch to 5-6-revelations

I may say banal things, but. Resident Evil is one of those games where you have to do as much as you can in a decent amount of time (Solve puzzles, get items, keys, etc). and then save with peace of mind. Then, when you get hold of a large number of tapes, it will be possible to save more often.

You need a special mood, choose the right time so as not to be distracted by everyday activities. If you feel that you don’t really want to play, then it’s better not to sit down at all, otherwise you will run for half an hour without doing anything useful during this time, and at the same time wasting your save feed.

If you have a premonition that you will soon be killed (no health, a boss fight is ahead), it is better to save again.

Yes, that's how I play.
