Why No Auto Save?!

Sailorgalaxy · Apr 02, 2007 9:52 PM

Ugh, I really do hate how this game doesn't have auto save. Everytime you need to save you always have to trail over to a dragon. The bad thing is, what if you forget to save? Bye bye hard earned gems and dragons!
Thats exactly what I just did (Heh,well, didn't do).
Just completed all of the Peace Keepers worlds in one sitting,making it all the way to the beginning of the Magic Crafters home world. Unfortunately, I had to go, in a rush, and shut off the game without saving.
Funny thing is though, It never even occured to me to save it before I left.

*sigh* I'm sad now :'(

to be honest the auto save feature is annoying (just look at a new beginning) because the auto save well lets just say you die the game will automatically return you to the last AUTOSAVE even if you save manually (the same goes for restarting the game) so no the first spyro game should not have the auto save feature

It has an auto save. Whenever you go through or out of a portal it saves.

LoneKnight · Apr 03, 2007 8:58 PM

I don't mind it. The game is relatively easy.

DanteAndVergil · Apr 17, 2007 2:31 AM

i completed the game within 2 hours i find it that easy now tongue

It doesn't really make a difference where you save in a Spyro 1 level because when you start up the file again, you are at the beginning point of the level or world...

it would have been handy, but i guess they didn';t think of it at the time.
no big deal without itt though

Iceferno · Dec 29, 2007 11:14 AM

True. I like playing through those levels again anyway smile

spyromaster330 · Mar 04, 2008 11:21 AM

it would have made saving easier so i think they shoukd have put one in

Iceferno · Mar 05, 2008 4:07 PM

The adventuruous-ness of Spyro 1 kinda makes up for the saving-flaw, imho wink

SpyroLover12 · Mar 09, 2008 12:47 AM

Auto saves are bad they get me angry lol!

bmah · Mar 09, 2008 7:30 AM

Autosave can be a mixed bag. For this game, you pretty much can only progress and go forward, so there's hardly a reason as to why saving would be a bad thing. I don't think autosave is a flaw in this game.

Iceferno · Mar 10, 2008 12:04 PM

Some games are kinda confusing with Autosaves. For example, on Sonic Gems Collection, 2 of the main 3 games autosave, but Sonic R doesn't. I'm not even sure Sonic The Fighters autosaves. Guess it's just Sonic CD then! tongue

Misa · Apr 18, 2008 7:39 AM

Yes it should, because it would be easier

RadSpyro · Apr 18, 2008 2:09 PM

I've never really paid much attention to it... I usually just run through the game anyway, and just save everytime I get a new dragon XD

Iceferno · Apr 23, 2008 10:05 PM

I actually voted Yes, but I'm thinking more along the lines of "It would be convenient, but not necessary" now... :?

BentleyIII · May 18, 2008 9:50 PM

Call me crazy, but I actually sorta like not having auto save.

Think about it: if you really screw up on a Spyro game (or if someone else does), you can just shut off the game console and your progress won't be saved if you or the other person didn't manually save the game. This has been a life-saver on a few occasions for me.

However, I'd save the game every time you get something important.

The reason why I voted No, is because I personally like doing things manually, myself, although having Zoe is convenient in later games.

Why do we need auto save when you just have to step on a platform nearby and it will take you 5 sec to save the game.Shouldn't be to much to ask about
if you do it from one time to another.I m Glad its not auto save.If i had to search for secret places in a level or try to get to a hard place i don't need to waste all of my life's

BentleyIII · May 21, 2008 11:49 PM

Since this game does not have AutoSave, you can do something really cool. Beat the game to 100% (everything except Gnasty's Loot). Then manually save the game before going into Gnasty's Loot. That way, you can enjoy playing Gnasty's Loot over and over again as long as you shut the console off without saving the game. So you can beat the game 100% and play Gnasty's Loot multiple times!

Iceferno · May 26, 2008 5:08 PM

Ah right. So does Gnasty's Loot level close when you complete it?

BentleyIII · Jun 06, 2008 5:21 AM

No, it doesn't. I checked. You can go back into Gnasty's Loot at any time, although none of the gems will be there. tongue So basically all you can do is capture the thieves to get to the Return Home Portal. The extra cut scene and also the credits will replay again, and you will end up in Artisans like you did the first time.

Iceferno · Jun 06, 2008 3:49 PM

Ah, that's cool to know... apart from the Gems, that is tongue
