Bonfires, what?

archstones in demons souls tbh

Beds.

I like to get comfy.

Bonfires act as checkpoints, not save points

I've always been a fan of a save option in the menu tbh fam

when you alt+f4 you quit the game and then relaunch the game and it loads you are placed at the spot you quit, you stupid nigger

>>14461045

That ghost scared the shit out of me when I was young.

I'm not really much into Resident Evil but those little rooms with typewriters were comfy.

>>14461058

Yeah, me too. Maybe that was their way of getting kids to buy a strategy guide to collect the mountain of junk in DK64. Make the hint giver scare kids too much to ask for help in game.

>>14460945

get out

I liked how all the savepoints were the telephones littered around the city in parasite eve.

>>14461198

Isn't that the faggot that runs HG101's avatar?

>>14461208

How should I know? You tell me

I like hidden save points with comfy music. It's also nice when they heal you.

>>14461244

You'd know you fucking poser.

It was just an okay game but in The Evil Within the save rooms could be located by following the music they give off, embed related. I found it a really interesting touch. You'd hear the song faintly and chase it down to save and do all your stuff in this shitty little hospital wing where this song just plays

>>14461919

Never noticed that. Maybe my headphones suck.

>>14462060

Maybe the evil is within you.

>>14461095

The game autosaves. Bonfires are checkpoints.

>>14461173

As a kid I spent a lot of time fucking around in the save rooms because I was too scared to go out. Listening to this song while reading the files made for such a perfect haunting atmosphere, with the last stands of everyone who died.

Fallout 3 before the main quest line and game ends point of no return. Small arms max stealth vats headshot every damn time

Metroid has cool save points, but not the shit tier aesthetics found in the GBA games.

>no one posted toilets yet

Seconding the RE4 typewriter save rooms,especially ones near the trader with that meditation like music.

>>14462756

That's a thing in Ultra Despair Girls too but with a potty because the MC is a pathetic girl.

I've always loved Dino Crisis save rooms. I will never, ever, forget the tune that played in them.

Ever since I played GTA Vice City I've liked when you save at home, so even in games in which you can save wherever and whenever I strongly prefer to save at my character's house, camp, hotel room or whatever other place the character would realistically consider himself safe and free to relax.

There's something really comfy about ending a say, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines session by going to your haven, checking the mailbox, greeting Heather, logging in to see if I got any email, then standing by the bed, saving and quitting. I like to picture my character as feeling really tired and the time as right before sunrise.

>>14465133

That's literally every Dragon Quest.

>>14460927

Anywhere. Forced save locations = faggotry.

>>14464967

>Dino Crisis 1 save room theme

my nigga

>>14465779

casual

>>14465779

forced autosave anywhere > specific save location > saving anywhere

Saving anywhere at will gives you too much control on what happens if you mess up.

>>14465826

>forced autosave anywhere

very uncommon, pretty much an outlier. saving anywhere is absolute casual shit however. Either finish the challenge the devs wanted you to or quit like a bitch tbh

>>14465826

Suspend option is infinitely better than save anywhere. Save and quit anytime, but you can only reload it once.

>>14461210

I wish there was more games with handholding mechanic

>>14465905

I think games have enough handholding, buddy

>>14465850

>>14465885

these niggas get it

Clearly the best save point is during a bossfight cutscene or cinematic that unknowingly bars you from accessing the previous level/area/world ever again

>>14465133

Play Shining Force, you cock.

>>14465826

>Forced autosave anywhere

I remember twice getting fucked by that in one of the Splinter Cell games where it autosaves and a split second later I die.

>>14465777

He said empty.

>>14465825

>you are a casual if you like to play games for varying amounts of time

Nah, try harder.

>>14466649

A church is never empty because the spirit of god is always there you colossal faggot

>>14460927

Savior schnapps.

>>14466781

Fuck that game, its artificial prolongation of play time with everything from animation to gimmicky survival system and especially its shitty pretentious "hardcore" save system.

>>14466791

Wew, are these faggots just waiting on anything about that game to be posted?

>>14466320

If the game forces you to load when you die then it's retarded to have autosaves like that.

Then again, the biggest retardation is forcing you to load when you die instead of continuing the game with a penalty or something like that.

>>14466682

You can do that with any other kind of save.

Unless if you need to quit in an emergency, in that case the system mentioned here >>14465885 is much better designed.

The problem with saving anywhere, is that saving a game is usually used as a safe restoration point for when you die or fail and only occasionally for when you stop playing, or do you only save when you're quitting the game?

Im with the anons saying that menu saving is lame but quicksave is still needed in some games. For example, on my first run of the baldurs gate games I mashed F5 everytime I walked through a door

>>14465753

underrated post

>>14466791

Gut gud faggot.

No seriously, the game is fuck easy if you had a problem with the difficulty you're a complete screb end.

>>14466878

>on my first run of the baldurs gate games I mashed F5 everytime I walked through a door

That's probably because other aspects of the game are badly designed and forced you to do it. Why exactly did you do that?

>>14466888 (checked)

>>14466894

>Gut gud faggot

I can solo the games pretty easily now and dont need to save very often anymore because I always know whats coming. :P

There is so much shit in that game that will instant murderrape you if you dont know it's there or if you arent prepared to deal with it. Im not saying I mind but repeating the same fights repeatedly instead of trying the same scenario again when you dont have too is lame.

>>14466919

The point of the game isn't to save scum and repeat the same instance over and over until you get "the perfect ending" it's to learn to live with your consequences.

>>14461009

I've always liked that general theme.

Especially when the very last savepoint is the faint ray of hope in the darkest, most miserable area right before the final boss.

>>14466935

Im not talking about the choices you nigger and its not like a platformer where the challenge lies in multiple scenarios.

>>14466963

Then what? Because the combat is piss easy, buy a mace or warhammer and you're golden. It chews through plate armour like a hot knife through butter.

I really really like Alien: Isolation's take on saving.

Essentially, they use it as a horror device.

By default, you can't save manually, but instead have to find these "Emergency" kiosks (which give off a faint noise so you can find them). Once you find one, you have to insert a card into the kiosk and wait for three lights to go off, during which, the machine makes a little noise, and you can't move or look behind you. If you get killed before all three lights are off, the save doesn't go through, and you have to start from the last checkpoint.

As if the notion of a hot spring wasn't appealing enough, it had some very comfy music that made me just want to lay down and go to sleep.

Is the revamped version of this game worth checking out?

From one side I finished the game already (back on PS2) and from the other I want to play it while chilling on a PS4, but I don't know how different it would be than simply emulating.

>>14467092

Speaking of MOTHER 3, I am really worried that it might get a lazy 3D remake like Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga.

>>14466791

Hi yahtzee

>>14465753

came in looking for this.

>>14467137

It's got the Zodiac licence boards, de-canned voices, autosaves, a fast-forward button, a Diablo-style overlay map, and mist now has its own meter instead of using MP.

>>14465779

savescum casual faggot kys now

Beds and toilets make the most sense tbh.

and campgrounds/bonfires

the ffvii save point was cool too

>>14467021

my niggity nigga

>>14467210

>If you don't like a blatantly cancerous saving mechanic that doesn't belong in the same galaxy as an RPG you're an e-celeb!

I hope you don't think you're fitting in or anything.

>>14467848

I never realized just how much better looking SH3 is compared to SH2.

Bonfires

>needing to save in vidya

ITT: casuals and/or RPGfags.

>>14465133

SoulBlazer if I remember correctly

>>14467156

Nintendo doesn't even care enough about the game to localize it, what makes you think they'll care enough to remake it?

There's all this, but who the fuck actually saves and doesn't just burn through a game? Skies was a joy, XenoSaga was strange-making.

>>14468147

>>14468087

Yeah yeah we get it, so hardcore you can't possibly enjoy the theme and setting of a savepoint without actually saving or something, so manly, much hardcore good performance my frens

>>14468207

Too tired for this bullshit. I had to defend myself. I may have a big mouth but I don't start the fisticuffs.

Get a few less Kansas City faggots slinking around this board, board operator.

Also:

>thought this was the 4am thread with this >>14468251 reply

>it's about game saves

Get your shit together, every last one of you that can't see a game through. Yeah, we get it, this isn't your hobby.

I want to get comfy in a consistent game setting with almost everything just right, including saving your progress. There's nothing more jarring than saving your game via a clean chrome shiny menu when your character's in middle of a green lush field or even inside a dark hospital etc. It just doesn't work. A good save point should match the game setting, even if it might not be necessary.

Anons who don't save for some reason (being 'hardcore' or bullshit) are only needlessly risking their game progress from family business, power cut in your place, taking a break and other shit like that - do you really want to restart your game progress over and over again?

>>14468261

What's wrong with Kansas City? I went there on business and everyone was really nice.

>>14465911

not like THAT

>>14468098

>that webm resolution

Kill yourself
