Looked like ads at first. Gave me a slight cyberpunk vibe for some reason. At least big corpo dystopia.

Yeah I enjoyed it too. Not their most memorable movie andnot particularity original but it did its thing really well.

Really? Any idea how?

I do use that. I have a Series X but I play on PC as well. Some games aren't available on xbox and sometimes the TV might be occupied or I might want to squeeze in some quick gaming while already at my desk.

Well of course. There's always room for improvement though.

You can still have checkpoints and auto saves at intervals. That way you can reload if you save a second before dying or whatever.

Meh, annoying save systems won't stop me for buying an otherwise great game but it will somewhat bug me while playing.

Very much so! For the longest time I had a xerox of some gaming magazine with all the save codes for Lemmings!

Pretty much this. And if they're worried about that just make it so you can only save and quit?

True but that won't help with many modern games.

Ugh.. I wish more developers kept their customers engaged by making good games instead of creating some meta game to keep the hamster wheel running. That feels like a lot of MMO's..

That would be awesome, I hope they can do it!

Yes!

Wonder is Valve could implement that on windows as well?

I'd never play that on PC. It would work on xbox though since quick resume just let's ju pop out to the dashboard and resume whenever. It's not foolproof but I've only had to restart from a checkpoint a few times.

Save states would be nice. Just dump the game's data from ram to disk.

That would probably take up a ton of space though. :)

Some games seem to manage it quite well though? But yeah, they probably had to pit a lot more energy into implementing it.

Yeah, good point and that's a valid reason I suppose.

It's still very nice when you have more flexibility.

Wish PC games could implement something like the xbox quick resume or something.

Autosaves are great and all.. I just want to be able to quit whenever. There's usually a confirmation when you're trying to quit anyway. Just save and quit then. :P

I'm glad at least some games still allow you to do that.

Yeah, quick resume on xbox as well and that's great, most modern games use it. Not all though and not on PC.
