    Are you a compulsive game saver..

    I mean, do you save every 5 mins your game during gameplay?

    Me, i save every 1 hour. XD

    Cause imagine that you have progressed a lot and electricity power goes off. T_T


    What about you?

  • Depending on what type of game it is. If the game was a game such as pokemon then, I probably wouldnt save until I decided to put the game down (which usually ranges from a couple of hours) seeing as you cant really "lose". Though if the game was like Final Fantasy Tactics, I save after every battle (lol), once you lose, you lose!

  • As of late, because of various experiences with power problems over the past six months, I guess you could call me a "compulsive game saver." I save after some progress is made, or some major event happens, automatically. It's gotten to the point where I save after almost every little thing I do, though. That, however, has to do with not taking any chances.

  • Depends on the game really
    Certain games like any of the Megaman X games, I never 'save' [use passwords to get to your previous spot]
    When I sit down, I ain't getting back up till Sigma's dead
    other games I save quite frequently in

  • I'm going to move this to Other Games. It's more suited there. o_o;

    Anyway, I hate saving in games. D: Especially now that it usually takes so long no matter what console I'm playing on. I'll only save before bosses or before cutscenes I really like so I can go back and watch them again later. 8D;

  • I save at every moment allowed. Games with free save (ala Pokemon, or on the world map on Final Fantasy), I usually save every few battles, which may be about every 10-15 minutes.

    I'm just cautious, have had many save files lost on me and other errors of the sort, and have a habit of saving my spot at the ends of things (ends of chapters/pages in books, end of battles in Pokemon, end of layers in Photoshop, etc.).
     
    I should save more often than I do. I used to save before all the major battles in pokemon, because they were perdictable where they were going to be. In other games, I don't really do it, but I should, because I don't like replaying a part or battle that I just did! I usually turn it off for 3 or 4 days if I mess up, before picking it up again.

    I save before and after bosses in games and when I see a save point. In Pokemon I used to save a lot, like every time I leveled or healed at the P.C., but I've heard its not good for the internal battery when you save and load too much, so I don't save so much anymore. But since my Pearl just froze for some unknown reason, I save a little more often at DP in case it happens again.

    My Gold and Silver batteries lasted longer than I've heard most people's did, and I got them before release (Woo! <_<), and I save tons, as I've stated.

    So, maybe an odd case, or that's just speculation. I dunno.

  • Depends on the game. Something like Oblivion I'll save it before I go into a cave, before I go into a "mission", before I go into an Oblivion Gate and so on (and I've got like 4 save files on there. It's the same file, just at different save places).
    But something like a shooter, if I'm playing the main campaign then I'll only save it when I'm ready to stop.
    But I would say I'm a compulsive game saver. If it's RPGs, or something of the sort it's going to be saved all the time.

    I cloned Pokemon and items so I think that causes the battery to run out faster, since you have to load the game a lot.

  • I save all the time...for games like GTA, only when necessary and I don't care much. But on games like super paper mario and most games that take awhile or are hard, I save about every 10 minutes :o

    I remember I did that in my Pocket Monsters Silver Version. I never changed batteries until the game would turn itself off (so I was really sure the batteries had run out), and during that time I saved a lot.

    I save when something is going to happen, that you won't see again, or before a BIG battle.
