[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9644916, member: 18"] If you want to argue that, it's much easier to argue that the arrogance is on your side, so are you sure that's the approach you wish to take? Games are art, they're not just "tools" or "products". Especially good games. As for in the advertising, what is it you want, exactly? Literally every single game's save system is trivially possible to find out by Googling it. You keep saying this is so important to you, but you won't spend 10 seconds Googling before you buy a game? Hell, if you buy on Steam, you can just refund them as soon as you find out the save system isn't for you (which is going to be within the first two hours), no questions asked. So you don't even have to check with Steam! LOL judging by Resident Evil is like assuming all bicycles are this, and saying bicycles are rubbish as result. [ATTACH type="full" width="353px" alt="1745525150458.png"]403419[/ATTACH] Resident Evil is a weird-as-hell game with an intentionally contrived and weird save system that is there because that's part of what makes RE fans [I]like[/I] the games! And from RE4 onwards, so TWENTY YEARS AGO, RE games have had a checkpoint-style autosave system ON TOP of the typewriter system. Have you even played an RE game in the two decades? No-one is doing that! You are choosing to go in blind instead of spending 10 seconds Googling! [/QUOTE]
