Games like Skyrim, Witcher NEED multiple unlimited save slots, not only for choices, but for many reason.Īnd then there are games that have 3 saves slots and that's it. The Pokemon case well it sucks because it is such a long game, but it's not like you are going to do many game changing things in there.

In theses cases options should be available, even for a penalty. SO for now I stopped playing because I couldn't change the difficulty or didn't see a place how where to do it. I did it back in the day, but I got no coop partner and not much time. Maybe I may be looking in the wrong place, but I started GoW on Hardcore. I get the reason behind the locked playthrough, but sometimes options should exist. There are two cases, games that have a limited save slot, like Pokemon or games that lock you through a playthrough more recently GoW Ultimate. Who thought of this shit?įor the record yes I am well aware that some systems offer USB and/or cloud save backup, but that to me seems like an unnecessary hurdle placed on the consumer to circumvent design choices that were poor to begin with. But wait! The game only has one save slot so starting a new game means losing all progress, in a 20+ hour open-world collectable-driven game. Your choices lead to specific missions (and endings) and the missions locked behind the other choices can only be played by starting a new game and going the other route. At several moments in the story, the game presents you with choices. I like the game overall but man the save system is dumb as rocks. Games with choices that lead to very different outcomes, often levels exclusive to the path you chose.įar Cry 4, which I'm playing at the moment, has to be the worst offender of this crap. I know why they are how they are, what with the games autosaving every 10 seconds, but I think it would be pretty cool to have any boss available to re-fight on demand, wouldn't you say?īut the worst, the fucking worst, is when you have games that have branching storylines, alternative missions, multiple endings, etc. After a particularly great boss fight or mission I often find myself continuing on a new save and keep the old one if given the option.Īs great as they are, Souls games are guilty of this. God forbid I want to relive a moment from the story without having to play through the whole game again (games with mission/level replay alleviates this issue somewhat).

Alternatively, games with multiple save slots that 'lock' you into a single slot for a playthrough.
