Save game

>BETTER SAVE IT ONE MORE TIME TO BE SURE

I fucking hate this

You understand me on a psychological level.

I used to do this with the Pokemon games all the time.

Also Ocarina of Time

This

I used to save before every trainer battle so I'd never lose my money.

Hey, it might seem obsessive compulsive, but a few extra seconds to save over and over like a sperg is nothing compared to losing hours of game time.

It sucks so bad...

>You can only save at a specific spot in town

I love ya Dragon Quest but jeez.

What do you guys name your saves if it gives you the option?

what I was doing, in case I want to go back to a certain point and so I know what I'm doing if it takes a long time til the next session

I love your mechanics but don't hurt me like this, Larian Studios.

Why do games have limited save slots to begin with?

>deleting save....
>overwriting save...

This always made me so nervous. When it said "deleting".

Who?

Who?

>Save all the items for final boss
>Defeat boss without using any item

>Save game
>Quit
>Quitting will delete all unsaved progress, would you like to save?

>you have to fight your way to the in game save points

Ah yeah, I've experienced that horseshit before.
Thankfully MOST emulator programmers have the good sense of prioritizing functionality rather than how technically accurate it is and put in an option to force the sram file to refresh itself every few seconds.

>go to delete a file
>are you sure?
>are you REALLY sure?
>if you delete the file you can't get it back? Are you super, duper TOTALLY SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS?

>Buy HG/SS used
>Play 3 hours
>You cannot save because a save file already exists

fuck this

this message somehow erases my memory of whether or not I saved 5 seconds ago, so I do it again to be safe

niggerfaggot {date}
or on occasion STOP CRASHING ON ME DURING SAVING YOU FLIPFLOP WANKPOT

>load instead of save

what game? i fucking need it

>mfw Rainbow Six recon missions

You either do or do not. There is no save

I used to do this when I was fucking 12

>save game
>game crashes

>save game multiple times just to be sure
>be sure to quit to the main menu, and then to desktop/dashboard before shutting off power just to be extra sure

Good Lord.

>Keep playing for a minute or two after saving just in case, wouldn't want that save to be corrupted

I had about 500mb savefiles in Skyrim 300 in Oblivion.

>open emulator
>save state
>OH FUCK, thank god i saved in game
>save corrupted

>tfw u delete the save your currently playing

>save game

generally if I have multiple it will go in an order like this:
a
aa
aaa
b
bb
bbb
c

etc.

>only really need two save slots at most

Anyone else get punished for their arrogance in videogames?

after about a week i made a new game, never could make it out of there. i still remember how fucking pissed i was every time i failed

I don't know what game that user is talking about, but Resident Evil 2 lowers your completion rank if you save too many times. You need an A rank to get a lot of the unlockables.

>didn't understand saving

>discover Final fantasy
>still don't know about saves
>will play through the opening sequence and try and get as far as possible before turning it off

if this ever happens to you, don't even fucking try to fight it, just start a new game, its not worth it

Is there a way to fix corrupted memory cards? Or am I fucked?

>700 for oblivion
>400 for skyrim

I think this is a message to not save scum so much.

I CAN CHANGE I KNOW I CAN

I forgot to put the part where I'm 8 years old but I'll just let people assume i'm retarded

a1, then a2, then a3, all the way to a9, then I skip the 0 and do b1, b2, b3, etc.

For RPGs where I don't reach the ninth save, I reserve the next letter for the next character.

>get to save point
>select "save game"
>reading memory card
>checking game data
>overwrite save?
>overwriting save data
>save finished
The next part you can't press O to exit out of.
>reading memory card
>checking game data
>select location
And THEN you can exit.

Grandia is an amazing game, but holy shit is it so goddamn slow.

this. even if its like 4 seconds.
