Comment on Remedy is in control | The Verge

Implayed Control the first time without problems.

The second time my save games got messed up after doing the first mission for the janitor. Seemed my old cloud save games fucked it up. It became a mess.

The third time I deleted every cloud save, and it worked. Then, after ten hours the game crashed. And I lost three missions. And a lot of progress. None of the auto saves fixed it.

Dear Remedy, I have a PC. With a hard drive. I have room for thousands of save games. Let me fucking save my game myself!!

I had good memories of Control, but now my memories consist only of frustration. Why don’t Devs put in a reasonable save system in their games?

Cloud saves? I just played the game a month ago (Steam version) and the game has no native cloud saves. Is this an Epic Store thing?

  Gog, it has cloud saves there. Also I should have written a script to copy the save files every twenty minutes or so in the background. Would have saved me after the crash I guess…

Can’t you just turn off Cloud Syncing? You can disable it on GoG, at least.

  Thanks, but that’s what I did the third time after reading about that problem. I guess it was the crash that time that screwed with the auto saves.

I had the same complaint about Deathloop. If I’m playing the single-player only version, then why do I have to restart the loop if I suddenly have to quit? And why does the game warn me that I will lose all unsaved progress? You literally can’t save!

  God, I hate shit like that! When it makes you wonder if you can quit the game because it’s late for example. Does it save? When did it save last? That’s just asshole design.
  
  I’m playing Prey at the moment, it has quick saves aside of regular manual saving. It’s so comfortable!

  It’s been a while since I played deathloop but I seem to remember you can only save the game certain times, I think only when you’re in the tunnels and time has passed.

    Almost. When you make it back into the tunnels, the game considers it a finished loop and advances to the next day segment, which is considered a type of “save,” but you never save it. There is no "hit escape " “save game.” And yet, even after you make it into the tunnel and the day advances and you know you’re saved, when you hit escape and exit the game, the game is all “Are you sure you want to do this? All unsaved progress will be lost.” It’s like they had a save in, but decided against it, then never fixed the verbiage. Anyway, it’s a relatively minor annoyance.
