Summers - I was looking at your gamercard... no Bioshock? Pick that up if you haven't. And the Orange Box... mainly just for Portal.

DMC4 has the worst saving system ever :@

[Kyle_]

Worse than Mass Effect???

[Dan]

DMC tricks you.

It tells you you can svae then when you load it, it throws you back to a checkpoint.

Worse than Mass Effect???

How is Mass Effect save system bad? You can save the game at almost any time.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Overkill! Finally, it took a team of stupid opponents and a timely shotgun blast, but I gots the Overkill.

Yes, please do explain. I find the Mass Effect saving system to be quite adequate.

Some people depend on the auto save feature, which isn't great. I don't know why though, it's not like the manual save is hard to do.

[Summers]

If you depend on auto save, you suck.

Real bad saving is shown in Dead Rising.

Ok, I got my box today so I can send off my 360 and I remember them saying something about my reference number. Something about taping 2 copies of it to the console. Can somebody tell me what to do with that?

People always say this but, to me, it adds to the tension and atmosphere the game creates.

That's not saving, that's forced masochism.

[Kaney]

Pfft, only wusses need to save in Dead Rising. Real men play Infinity Mode

The thing about Mass Effect is that it will save automatically at random times. I just hate it when I beat a boss and it doesn't save it, but I do something small and it will.

[Dan]

Halo anyone?

[Summers]

I just put in COD4 in and you say Halo.

Ah well.

Halo then yah?

But... you can save it whenever you want. And they throw in the safety net of auto saving - but I'm also pretty sure you can turn it off if you really wanted to. Horrible save systems involve the outdated save point, the save wherever but we'll take you back to the last checkpoint, or the absolute worst - the ink ribbon.

[Maxx]

anyone ever feel like playing Team Fortress 2?

[abundant]

I love TF2, it's my favorite shooter by far. I stopped playing it because of the horrible lag and constant disconnections. This was before the patch though.

[Dan]

Slice N Dice on a team slayer, sweeet.
