Witcher 3 Save System

Melty Blood:Actress Again · May 05, 2015, 02:05:37 PM

Can someone tell me how the Witcher 3 is gonna save? Is it like Arkham City with 4 or more slots for saving or is it gonna be like the Witcher 2 where it's one save slot for a profile? If I download W3 on PSN and it has 1 save slot it's gonna charge me another $60 to play on another profile on the same PS4 and I ALREADY PURCHASED IT. The fucking Xbox 360 could recognize the game but for some reason the PS4 can't? Greedy SONY bastards.

Can someone confirm this?

It still baffles me why every game doesn't have a Skyrim/Fallout save system.

Dragon's Dogma did that one-save-file bullshit too, although more than one wasn't really needed, so it can be excused, barely.

You do realise you can play it on a second account without having to buy it again, right?
You've always been able to do that.

It's both a blessing and a curse. I find myself having to delete 100 save files sometimes by the end of a playthrough.

I love how Halo saves. In order to save you have quit the game and in order to quit you have to save. Bungie went full retard with that system and it looks like 343 is carrying it on.

No you haven't not on the PS4. If downloaded from the market, it is on the account on which it was bought and downloaded on. On any other account, it says that I have to acquire a license to play. It's total horseshit unless you can prove me wrong.

What about the Witcher 3? Will it have the same?

We won't know until it's out.

TFW you save because you're nervous and then 5 seconds later walk into trouble that you didn't see coming. I saved one time when I was in the middle of nowhere supposedly. Couple seconds later I got mauled by deathclaws that were already on their way.

Reload save and turn around. "Oh hey I have roughly 6 seconds before a pack of rape reptiles descends upon me."

How do you think people play Japanese games from the Japanese PSN store?

Honestly, in Fallout 4, I wouldn't object to a save limitation similar to that of waiting/fast travelling, where you can't do it if there's enemies nearby. That would eliminate problems like these.
