Pet peeve, games that won't let you save
I wish all games would just let you save whenever you want to! Why is using checkpoints and auto saves so common?
At least add a quit and save option if you want to avoid save scumming.
These days I just want to be able to squeeze in some gaming whenever I can even if it's just quick sessions. That's annoyingly hard in games that won't let you save.
I wonder what the reason for this is?
You're viewing a single thread.
One of my favorite things about the DS family was its pick up and play nature. Sure not every game would let you save and quit, but you could just shut the lid and come back later and everything will still be right where you left it.
Steam Deck and all home consoles let you do that now. It's only PC gamers who don't have the function.
New to the Deck, am afraid to do that since it screwed up with Cloudpunk the one time i did it, just sent it to sleep with the power button and when it came back it had issues (don't recall exactly what right now, a black screen i think) and remained until i did a full Deck reboot, feel like it's a classic PC issue which makes sense, now i don't send it to sleep until i've saved and quit
Some games will fail on it. It's more of a hack, than something that game devs coded for like they have to on other platforms.
Same, and now one of my favorite things about the Switch and Steam Deck 👍
