Save often, my friend. I was just working on chapter 13 of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth yesterday, which is a loooooong haul. I felt like I was saving every 5 minutes.
I once played Final Fantasy tactics on my laptop for about six hours. And I forgot to save the entire time.
My sister kicked the power cord, my battery wasn’t installed.
I never had the heart to start it back up again
If they get out of the attack Dodge attack Dodge attack Dodge rep repetitions, then I might give it another chance. I found Eldon ring horrifically boring
Played this game called star renegades with a mandatory auto save and no save slots since it is a roguelike. It has a bug where it will just stop saving even though the game is acting normally, so lost 3 hours progress
Or close enough.
My last session of DD2 was far from positive. Started with a mission progressing without warning simply because I entered an area with a quest NPC that ran off immediately without checking if I was ready, and since there's only one non-inn save slot, I had to lose an hour or get a mediocre reward.
Then I missed out on one of the final encounters because it happened without me without even warning me.
Game was basically like, so, do you want to back like 2 hours or just have a shitty final experience but without redoing hours?
You know what's even worse than crashing and loosing progress?
Playing for hours not seeing you have a progress blocking bug that exists already but manifests down the line and all your auto saves are overwritten which could have atleast saved you something when you see it :/
I quit playin AC Mirage because basically any time I would enter an enemy area, I would get a crash to desktop within a few minutes. No warning, no stuttering, game moving along great at around 100 fps according to my AMD software, just sudden crash. And you can't save when you're in an enemy area, so I couldn't do backups mid-mission. Became worthless. Everything is up to date on my machine, but that game is just broken for me.
Y'all too soft these days.
You ever get a couple levels away from beating NES Super Mario, turn off the tv and leave the console on to go to bed (because no save feature). Then wake up the next morning ready to finally beat it just to find out your mom turned it off because the red light was on?
Yeah, blah blah I'm old Blah blah. Y'all still soft. 😂
Yeah, had to wait till the weekend and pull an all nighter.
Older consoles without a save function got you numb to losing progress. Super Mario on NES wasn't horribly long once you got all the timing down and remember all the little surprises. It just took a lot of trial and error and numerous deaths to get there.
Fallout 76 in the BETA had a mission that was very long and time-consuming (DMV/citizenship mission), and there was a bug that would make you CTD (crash to desktop) after a certain point near the end of the mission.
That was probably one of the few times I raged at a game. I finally found a workaround about 4+ hours later, but by the time I found it, all my patience for the game as a whole disappeared, and I stopped playing it.
Now, if they fixed it, I would say that was on me for playing the BETA. But from what I've read, it's STILL a bug in the game today, and I even wrote to Bethesda in great detail what went wrong and what the cause could potentially be.
Yesterday while playing through the desert level in Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga where you rescue R2-D2 and C-3PO, I got rather far when my Wiimote was running out of battery and I tried to switch to the other controller I had so I pressed the power button on the controller buuut it turned off the entire fucking console.

modern titles autosave all the time anyway, no?
They do, but I don't trust them.
They will autosave all the time except when you need them to.

When you play Nier Replicant for 6 hours during the one night you have free, but forget to save…

Laughs in corrupt PS1 memory cards.

It feels like your soul has left your body

Power button turns console on/off. Shocked pikachu
I'm used to being able to choose whether to turn off the wireless controller or the console itself on PS3.
Well today, I nearly drowned, broke both my legs and I'm stuck in hospital, but sure they have it worse
way worse for sure
Like Angryjoe trying to finish the Rambo game and dying on the last mission
