Dead Space 3 has a abysmal save game system

[Elixer]

Dead Space 3 has a abysmal save game system.
Yes, cloud crap is off.
Yes, it said "saving progress" in the upper right hand corner, but, did it save it at that location ? Hell no. It saved about 30-40 mins before that point.

WTH is this crap, in DS & DS 2, you could save almost anywhere, but with DS 3, if you "save & exit", it only saves your inventory ?
The checkpoint system needs to die, but, this checkpoint system where it tells you it saved progress, but didn't needs to be obliterated.

Ugh.

It probably has a micro-transaction that you need to buy in order to save properly.

It really is pathetic that most 1990-2010 era games still have far superior "save anywhere, and YOU control YOUR game" save mechanics than most overly-cinematic "too clever for their own good" modern FPS's.

The argument is that saving anytime makes the game too easy and makes gamers lazy.

So basically we can't play the game how we want. Who cares if it makes it too easy, that's our business.

ds3 is also a pretty lackluster game so that probably doesn't help. Feels like gears of war instead of deadspace.

It is fukn terrible and why I stopped playing. There was a puzzle at one point followed by a fight. I died a few times playing the fight, so quit and came back and it wanted me to do the puzzle again. No. Never played it again.

The weapon system is also strange and not intuitive at all.

I tried the first Dead Space on PC a few weeks ago, and it used the same system, or one very similar to it. So I think you are remembering incorrectly.

I was attempting to fix the mouse acceleration, and needed a save after you got a weapon. So, I hit a checkpoint and exited the game, tried out the commands I found, and restarted the game. Although now the game forced me start from the very beginning, before the unskippable cut scene and scripted nonsense at the start. I of course realized later that it used the system Oubadah described above.

The first Dead Space is a great game and worth a play through.

The first Dead Space is a great game and worth a play through.

I uninstalled it when I couldn't get the mouse acceleration while aiming disabled, wasn't worth putting up with.

Regardless, once you fix the mouse issues it's a great game.

Regardless, once you fix the mouse issues it's a great game.

The only thing that is fixable with the mouse is disabling v-sync to get rid of the ridiculous amounts of lag. The acceleration while aiming your weapons is impossible to remove however. Maybe it would be fun with a controller, but I'm not a big fan of playing shooters with a controller to begin with.

I forgot I own this game on Origin. I heard the Coop campaign for DS3 is actually pretty fun, have you tried that? May alleviate save issues having another gun watch your back.
