I did spend quite some time saying 'I'm almost at a checkpoint, don't switch he power off now pleaaaaase!' to my parents, so it might have strengthen me for that.
Also I may not play as many badly designed 'checkpoint games' it seems, so I tend to join the Laurens opinion on that subject.

Galak-z is on sale for like $5 and is an amazing 2d space/mech shooter with 80 saturday morning cartoon style. And its a rogue-like with physics based combat and movement. Strongly recommend for those who like a fun challenging game.

Your save's done. If anything, this is an argument AGAINST quicksave lmao. Who would want a feature that could fuck up your save file? A combination of quicksave + autosave (stored to separate files) is best imo. If quicksave fucks you over, you have a fallback point. If I have to choose between ONLY quicksave, or ONLY checkpoints, i take the latter anyday. Have some faith in the devs to not be retards and implement checkpoints at proper timing (see call of duty campaigns)
Yes both are better but quicksave is a must. I mean... Look at a game like Baldur's gate without quicksaves or even freaking doom2 (ok it's not quick save per say but manual ones. same thing for me)
Never seen a quicksave get corrupted (i'm lying i played Fallout3 at launch) but unless FO3. Never happened in 25 years
What i'm saying is Quick saves or manual saves.

It depends on the game. Linear action games usually dont need quicksaves because the upcoming path is set in stone and the same with every playthrough. Games where you decide where to go or what to do next need some kind of manual saving because the time and space between potential fallback points varies from player to player.

Yes exactly. Doom levels or any doomlike can be run through a path you choose. Quicksave needed  Limbo ? I'll take checkpoints without minding
Sorry for derailing the thread btw. We can take it to PM if people are annoyed.

You won't get why checkpoints are bad until you become the parent in that relationship.

Any recommendation on Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments ?

its extra 4 bucks. but it kinda ruins the novelty of buying the game for 12 bucks

Hello, I am looking for good games that kinda play themselves.... I like games like Doorkickers or City Skylines. I also like games like Rimworld. Anything like that on Sale :D?

Got System Shock 2 for about $2; it's pretty good so far. I expected the graphics to be worse, but they are very tidy. An ancestor of Bioshock, lets you explore while not being as convoluted as Deus Ex. The creepy atmosphere is very good, although the re-spawning enemies take away from it slightly. Haven't finished it, so can't really comment on the story.

I would say yes. The http://www.faforever.com/ server is nice to play on and there are a lot of mods if one wants that (sadly player amount seems to keep dropping over the years). The campaign and single player custom games are worth 5usd regardless if you will play multiplayer or not. You will also see a good solution to how to scroll on the map that I wished more games used.

Gave in and bought offworld trading company. Damn, what a game! Never played an RTS that so chill.

for 10€ as it is yes, if it was 15€ i would have told you to save money
i was quite disappointed by evil within, even if the level design and the DA is really good, the rest is the most generic stuff you can find on the market

I'm already tempted. Is it something I can easily pause/save? As in I'd be able to play while my 5mo naps?
