Always us 2 or 3 tiered stepped save files so that you can at least o back.2 save slots if you run into real.trouble.

I would if I could, but it appears the entire Call of Duty series relies on single auto save checkpoints. Once it saves, you can’t go back to an earlier checkpoint. I don’t like it, especially when I have to restart a) because of a stupid glitch and b) because every mission starts with an unskippable cut scene!

The dialogue in the skippable cut scenes (I don’t understand why some are skippable and some aren’t) has stopped working as well. I can’t hear the background sounds, and sometimes the audio is barely audible. This isn’t an issue for the unskippable cut scenes though. Another weird glitch, I guess.

I’m glad I didn’t pay full price for this game.

I think I’m going to give up on trying to find the stupid mementos and just try to finish this campaign ASAP so I can go back to Stardew Valley.

This game autosaves at some really awkward moments, like right before I'm discovered during a stealth mission, meaning I have to start the whole friggin' mission over again. Really sucks.

I'll play through the whole campaign and then probably never play it again.

I'm currently playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and I've noticed that it sometimes autosaves me when I've got myself into really difficult situations.

But I guess that's pretty on-brand for Dr Jones.

OK. I have finished Call of Duty: WW2. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is still on sale for 65% off, so I went ahead and got it. Installing now but won't start playing it till tomorrow.
