Stupid checkpoints

[HideoKoncima]

Who the hell thought it was a nice idea to put checkpoints so distant and to not place checkpoints just before important fights?
I died against the super armored soldier in the Monarch building during the gala, and now I have to remake 15-20 mins of game to fight it again.
Nice design.

I've found that it's best to rush well into an area where a tough enemy is, even if you die, because that will often trigger a closer checkpoint.

Example, for the first juggernaut, I first was spawned in the spot just after passing through the stuttering door, where there's 2 guards on the other side before you even get to the juggernaut room. After fighting a bit more with the juggernaut and going further into that room though, I then spawned right at the entrance to that room where you squeeze through the doorway.

I'm not excusing the game design, and I agree it's ridiculous, but sometimes you can work around it this way.

This exact thing just happened to me half an hour ago. On the bright side, I activated something that I missed before. It was very odd, though. I honestly think this particular situation was by mistake and not by design. As in someone screwed up.

IF I DIE AGAINST THE JUGGERNAUT I SPAWN OUTSIDE UPSTAIRS

I got an answer for you guys a few years later! I figured it out, always wait for the Saving icon down in the left corner to finish and disappear before you enter. Then it should save the checkpoint.
