Jesus Christ, why is the Witcher's autosave so fucked?

Jfc, anyone else experiencing this horrendous fucking autosave system? It's like they took lessons from Alien Isolation.

But muh flawless RPG

Consoles really need a quicksave option.

Mordo · June 03, 2015, 03:28:37 PM

Nah done with this game.

Just fought the bloody baron and died. Ended up in Velen again having never done the quest.

Literally one of the most overhyped, overrated games I've ever played.

You should probably expect the game to not be perfect on launch. As is with most games these days.

Mat Cauthon · June 03, 2015, 03:32:12 PM

A lot of RPGs and JRPGs have shit autosaves.

I would expect even the most buggiest of games to have a basic fucking autosave feature. Hell, Crash Bandicoot had one, and that came out in fucking 1996.

I can forgive glitches and graphical hickups. What I can't forgive however, is a basic fucking feature which we've had since the late fucking 90s. Like, what the fuck. I literally have to backtrack about 2 hours of gameplay just to find myself back in the spot I died? That's bullshit.

BHUT ITS BETTER THAN SKYRIM GUYS, TRUST MEH. MUH TROO RPG HAS FINALLY ARRIVED

Can't you save manually?

Why should I have to when 99% of games auto save at precise points within the story?

Lack of autosave aids games like Alien Isolation where it adds to realism. It doesn't help RPGs where autosave is essential to progress.

Tyger · June 03, 2015, 08:41:27 PM

Boo hoo

CK97 · June 03, 2015, 09:59:18 PM

This is why I always save manually in incriments of around 10 minutes.

Verbatim · June 03, 2015, 10:07:34 PM

no, it's perfect

all video games are perfect, and if you don't like it, that just means you suck, and need to get better

at least, that's what dark souls fans have taught me

Batch · June 03, 2015, 11:23:59 PM

Youre not hard saving because you expect the autosave system to be flawless? Mate what? Just fucking save, this is an RPG we're talking about.

Also > you got it on console

It would be good if it at least saved after every quest.

Did you guys timewarp here from 1990 or something?

No I don't wholly rely on autosaves to do everything for me. I save after every significant quest/when I turn the game off. I would at least expect however, the game to autosave during precise moments within gameplay, not 3 hours before I even started the fucking quest. This has been an imperative features for games since, well, I can remember actually playing games. Don't think I've ever encountered an RPG that didn't have the most basic of autosaves.
