StaceyPowers Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I can’t imagine not making manual saves for games whenever games allow it—but I was surprised to learn that some people rely purely on auto saves. Does anyone here not use manual saves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I do forget to save events after successfully playing it. Since I forget often, I don't risk my struggles crossing some levels or matches, I just prefer auto save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I make manual saves all the time if a game allows it because I don't really like auto saves because of when it tends to work for me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I do use manual, but automatic remains my best pick due to low power supply. Incan decide to play on without saving, unexpected power interruption can disrupt my game progress if I'm going manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 At times I live manual save, to save the game when I feel like. At times when I encounter losses I switch off my console start it over again to repeat the matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Seriously, autosaves sucks most of the time for me especially when it messes up my gameplay. I prefer manual saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I always use the manual save function because I just don't trust the game to auto-save my progress. This is even more important in certain games where you will do certain things but they don't trigger the auto-save function. So any extra things you do after the last save is lost when you next play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason why I don't like manual save is that; when you forget to save a successful mission, maybe their is an emergency power failure if you're using a console like play station. You'll feel so infuriated for such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I do manual save especially when I am playing mission games I simply use the manual save, to set my game manually when I feel like the mission or level needs to be saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned, manual saves is the best way to getting your saving as you want them and not get put in a tight spot with what auto saves does most of the time.

Empire Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Most games comes with auto saves 🙂 good idea and helps allot, but it does not save when you really wanted it to be saved at. So I still do manual saves 🙂 Also good to backup your save files also 😉 does anyone also copy there saved files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I never copied my save time elsewhere, I do override the saved files when I forgot something very important to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the most of the adventures game I played like Tomb raider or splinter cell, auto save option really help to save the games without manual intervention. So you don't have to worry for the interruptions in between the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is that the system can actually save all your progress but it's going to keep messing the saves most of the time and saving when it's not really necessary.

Head_Hunter Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Something must warrant saving manually. I do manual savings especially when I am playing new action role-playing open world game which I don't know much about. I use the manual save to avoid saving where I don't want to override to another saved file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
