Dead Space Extraction - Wii - when exactly are the save game points?

[marmasatt]

Hiya,

So I don't play many consoles but I did pick up an adult title for the kiddo's Wii - Dead Space Extraction. As I understand it - this is a checkpoint save system. Well when the heck are the checkpoints? I did what I thought was a level. Was that just one level of the first chapter? It stopped and gave me a loading screen (about 25 minutes), so I continued for another 2 min and quit. To my chagrin, when I restarted the next day, I had no save for this first "level" or whatever it was that I played....Anyone playing this or offer some info? I just don't have time to be playing this for necessarily over an hour a shot. Thanks.

sorry i can't help you out here. am seriously considering buying this game though. regardless, when you first loaded the game, did you enable save function overall? the in-game save can only work when you enable it upon first loading the game.

Hey, a reply of moderate help is better than none at all. Why do you think you have to enable saves in the beginning? I sure didn't see an option for that. That should be enabled by default anyway - wouldn't you think?

I did that captain obvious. Do you see th first half dozen. They're all "purple" already for the clicking on them previously. And the first one's mine. : )

What is a level - a chapter?

Looks to me like theres no way to know on your first playthrough where mid-level is. Better to just beat a chapter. I assume the game tells you when a new chapter is occuring.

WORLD'S APART
ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE
RETURN TO THE MEGAVENTS
RENDEZVOUS WITH FATE
EMERGENCY CARE
NOWHERE TO HIDE
LIFE AND DEATH

I know you can't see it, lol. I meant they're all purple for me.

And I have to disagree. There is a way. I'd imagine, i would be people who actually played the game to provide the feedback.

I've got 3 kids under under five. I don't just have tons of time to stick to a game and I'm not playing this thing over and over again...

appreciate the eye roll, i don't have the game and seeing as you didn't get many responses I thought I'd try to help.

Anyway, I thought you wanted to know if there was any way in-game to know if you had reached a checkpoint so you could know when to stop playing without the fear of losing your progress, but if you want to find out by asking, you're better off going to a gaming forum to ask people there. Try the forums at IGN or Gamespot.
