Growing up as a kid with a mom who didn't understand the concept of save points was suffering.

You PC pirates have it good. Since it's pirated you do not have active profiles with achievements. You can just cheese your way through games. While everyone I know sees 13% progress on a completed game, and mock me for it.

A lot of PC games have a quicksave/quickload. It's F5 in Morrowind.

you realize PC games have been able to do that forever, right?

>stubbornly keep only 1 savestate even though emulators give you like 10
>think I'll be fine with like 5 hp left in a tough boss fight

>h-hehe, I-I knew I'd be fine

now I throw down a save before boss fights alltogether.

>quick saved before a deathclaw attack you

Scrolled down to see if this was posted. Can really ruin an entire game. Not gonna immediately replay all that stuff I just did to get back to this point so I guess I'm done with this for a few months.

Hey guys I have this painful lump on my head, feels like its part of my skull, should I be worried

I feel absolutely no shame in savescumming and I do it on every game where its possible, get cucked peasants.

You retards realize that PC games have had quicksave for over 20 years?

rub it a bunch and apply large amounts of negative pressure to it.

You have space AIDS

>quicksave before dialog in case I pick the wrong option

Lmao are pcucks literally so bad they have to cheat through their games?

>save scumming is something unique to PC players
Most players think save scummers are trash.

>Lose a fuckload of time either from constantly going into the menu to manually save or because the fatass down the street ran into the powerline

>Make a mistake, game autosaves immediately afterwards, and the game runs off auto-saves with no manual saves.

And almost all PC gamers are save scummers

>play console game
>don't have a lot of health left
>checkpoint/autosave
Quicksaves/manual saves just work better in most games, especially FPS.

>Hit quick save instead of quick load
>Last normal save was 2 hours ago in-game

When do you save?

n(ever) i'm a pro fessionale gamer who doesn't need to save games

I just got reasonable and explained that shit in a time where she wasnt telling me to come to dinner.

>Hey mom, you may not like the video games I play, and that's fine. But I really do enjoy them, and the problem is you can only save your progress every so often. This means if you stop right before the save point, you have to do an entire hour of work over again before you can keep playing from where you left off. Will you at least let me pause it or save in the future? Thanks, I promise I'm not just ignoring you

I quicksave until I close the game. Every time i quit I hardsave

>accidentally use medkit when I didn't need to
>sperg out and quick-load
>can't remember when I last quick saved
>fucking upset that I'll probably have to kill same enemies again

I'm such fucking savescum

Well I'm legitimately curious. Do you only save after tedious cutscenes, or when you stop playing or something?

I totally get not saving every couple minutes, but I'm curious when other people save

emulation
for older games you save the state and can exploit it to never take damage

>playing m&b warband
>save before and after every fight
>load if i lose

>hit quicksave after doing something incredibly retarded when you meant to quickload

...

Prove it.

Saves were limited in a game with shit tank controls for platforming and death jumps.

This is why I disable the quick load button asap.

F9 is not even close to F5, how did you fuck that up?

>began playing fallout 3

fallout 3 is great fun
new vegas is better though i admit

cmon user stop being a fucking meme

you know what's worse?

>hit quick save instead of quick load

>Hit quick load instead of that fuckin like button

But you saved after the fight

>Hit quick save instead of quickload
fug

>start up gba emulator and rom
>click save slot instead of load slot on the title screen

>game has quicksave limits

how the fuck do you mistake F5 and F9

>don't use quick save/load

some games default to like F5/F6

i save scum a lot because i like to re do encounters to see if there are more interesting ways to beat them and because i usually play on stupid modded in difficulties that are way too hard

thats the worst
thats why i save in multiple slots

That's where i learned that i shouldn't quicksave at every single situation.

Poor Lara drowned so much.

makes me rage every time

>It took me a year to beat Half Life 1 because of shit like this.

Are you that beta tester from Valve who kept running around in circles for 30 minutes while testing Half Life 2?

Saving at all

>Quick save

>save corrupted

Never finished Red Faction because I saved in a spot where as soon as I load, I die.

That's why you don't save scum.
Just have the willpower to only quick save when you enter a new area of some kind. Treat it as a checkpoint. You'll enjoy the game more that way.

I used quick save in Fallout/Elder Scrolls.
In these two it's a safeguard against the game.

You accidentally hit someone? Fuck you.
You picked the wrong reply by accident? Fuck you.

>Hit quick save instead of quick load
>As you die

Why do people always post this gif?

>extremly powerful ennemy attacks you
>"automatic save..."
>your game only has one save

>looking at your keyboard
underage pls go

>accidentally quicksave before landing in spikes

It can happen when you're so focused on the game you confuse the two buttons.

>Quicksave next to a cazador

>game has quicksaves
What's the fucking point then? Might as well be running a TAS

that's bullshit

if you're a good gamer you use all the toys available to break the game

otherwise you can just play browser games

"Fleshpound".
He was about to write something to the guy who killed him because he had chat opened.

Do you rebind QS/QL keys?
Keypad plus for quicksave and keypad slash for quickload master race here.

>have achievements on steam and GFWL from games i've pirated

>using a game mechanic the game itself gives you is a TAS
What?

multiple save slots are a thing

Bro get out my grill

Why does no game work like this:
checkpoints: whenever you die, the last checkpoint is loaded and you can retry, unless you have quicksaved
quicksave: if you die, the quicksave is loaded, but only ONCE per checkpoint
so with quicksave you get ONE more retry post-checkpoint, so make it count

I use numpad + for QS and numpad - for QL. I'm a laptopfag so I don't have dedicated function keys. Those two are good for me because they're right on the side so I can easily hit them with my mouse hand.

>tfw you didn't have to explain this cause you dad bought you Nintendo as a cheap babysitter so he could be with hooked and blow and never cook you dinner.

Fuckin autocorrect.

The reason I'm using slash is because minus is too close to plus, you're bound to fuck up some day.
Hitman 2 Silent Assassin had different amount of quicksaves for a single mission depending on difficulty level, I think it was 3 on easy, 1 on normal, 0 on pro.
There weren't any checkpoints whatsoever though.

Fuckin KOTOR

>Hit tilde, write tgm and just walk away

pfft

>corrupted memory Card
YOU DONT KNOW THE MEANING OF PAIN

>Get one of those PS1 memory cards that had several pages

Fuck those scams

This happened to me in Alan Wake, but not by choice.

The I missed a small jump with only a little bit of health left and it was enough to kill me. The jump technically moved me into a new area though, so the game autosaved and I was stuck forevermore in a loop of death.

I've never played Alan Wake since.

>dinner time

This.
If your not dieing alot in you're games, you're difficulty is too easy

cant do that on a console user :(

I lost A LOT of time in fallout 3 because I wasn't going through doors and shit in the wasteland. Never again.

>get new game

Seen this happen to a pal a many times. Never not laughed.

>Hit middle bumper, press A triangle Y and walk away

pfft

I think this has cost me every single one of my New Vegas characters

>saving in the middle of boss fights
please die

but saving ruins the purpose of the modded difficulty in the first place.

if a trip to the ruins and back consists of 10-15 encounters and you save after each one, then it's actually less difficult than attempting the trip in most vanilla situations.

>quick save
>it's slow

Why do you newfags use so many fucking quotation marks?

>save corrupted

Still haven't gotten that achievement to this day.

What am I looking at here?
