| Aug 2, 2010 at 15:32 | comment | added | Ian Schreiber | This would be my answer as well. In this day and age, there's no excuse for a game holding the player hostage until the next save point. One example of a game that does this is Breath of Fire:Dragon Quarter. (Of course, some games can handle quicksave systems too, and if you can do that without totally breaking the balance, more power to you.) Other examples would be retro arcade type games, which don't need no stinking save system :) | |
