Manual save?

[DeadPoolX]

Can we manually save our game anywhere we want? I really hate checkpoint saves, so whether or not I can save and leave the game at a moment's notice (without losing progress) is an important factor.

I dont think so, at least on the gameplays i watched it was all checkpoints. Need devs confirmation.

Manual saves on PC games should be required by law.

At the absolute least, PC games should let you "save and quit" whenever you want so you can stop playing when YOU feel like it. I hate waiting for a game to hit a checkpoint just so I can stop playing.

only checkpoints would be disappointing.

A quote from a recent review from Gamegrin ...

That’s one of the few issues I have with Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts. It’s rather tied into the overall difficulty of the game, really, as the difficulty curve is more of a spike in some places. The checkpoints are not very well marked (or generous), so when you die and get put back to the start of a section with 15 guards you have to murder again, it’s more than irritating.

Well that's disappointing. Why CI...WHY!?

Ugh, hopefully they increase the amount of checkpoints at the very least

That lack of manual saves makes me think even more before buying a copy of this game, even now when it's on a great sale at GOG. Even the original Far Cry wouldn't be such an irritating game if there were manual saves as options. And even way better games, as the Mafia trilogy, you'll have to choose each time a friend sends you a request, to chose between losing around half-hour of game progress or having him wait for that amount of time till you'll be finally reach a checkpoint.

In general developers are too lazy to do this. They prefer to bloat games with excessive video content. Some release games that should still be in beta. The C&C series which started in Win95 had quick saves.

I just paused the game and alt+ tabbed my way to browse this.

I only paid $9 for this game. If I knew at the time there would be no MANUAL SAVES - developer, are you listening?????.....I would not have even paid that for it.

Why isn't it possible to save manually, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying that you have to start at a checkpoint every time you've gotten far in the game, I think I'll ask for my money back!

[neo2001]

I also agree that manual (quick) saves are an absolute must for games like these (BTW there are even games that notify you, that your last save was quite some time ago).

Especially in this game the checkpoints seem only to be triggered by moving over them in the map, not, for example, after completing an objective (which would make much more sense). I've lost hours because of this stupid crap, because usually, I have to repeat stuff I already did again and again, because the game was saved when entering a certain area (like a roof top) and will only do so again when exiting the area or crossing into another one. This is extremely annoying!

I'm reattempting the last mission & my latest try were where I've killed most of the guards, I kill my objective, pickup the notes, then I see a soldier on the other side of the bullet proof glass & my shots were stopped, but his went through the glass & killed me. Back to the start again.
