	Quicksaving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quicksaving is the term used for saving the player's progress in a computer game by pressing a single key on the keyboard.
		Some people consider the use of quicksave in a game to be a form of cheating since it allows the player to incrementally "inch" through a difficult level regardless of skill.
		Quicksaving is usually a feature found in PC games and is often not present in console games.

		Quicksave and head South, through a patch of trees to the trench that is the Left Front.

	Gamingforce Interactive Forums - Quicksave Vs. Savepoints (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Savepoints are easier to keep track of since they are usually denoted with a location and time in the game, while quicksaves are merely blips which you may not remember in the future when they are loaded from wherever you saved.
		Bottom line: while quicksaves and saving anywhere have the potential to be abused, their presence doesn't make games too easy.
		Games that have a quicksave feature -- limited or not -- tend to be more challenging (or give you the OPTION of making it extremely challenging), more open-ended, and give you much more freedom, including the ability to really screw yourself over.

		I recommend making a full save as soon as the fight begins, and quicksaving during the fight as you wear her down.
		Quicksave before you dash, and you shouldn't have a problem - there's a fairly linear path to take.
		When you reach the area with three rapid-firing arrays, shoot the purple caps on the reactors to blow a hole in the wall, then proceed through the hallway beyond until you reach a room with a four-laser tower.

	Eidos Forums - Saving
		Saving your game was so annoying in DX1, it takes forever and if you cut down your saves, if you die you you need to load the last save, the game should have some kind of checkpoint system so if you die you just re-start the level, or atleast there should be quick saves.
		Baldur's Gate 2 (and all IE games) were pretty annoying because quicksaving displayed a "saving" (full)screen which took you out the game itself and it was quite long...
		I don't want a million quicksaves on my hand, and I don't want to be saving everytime I kill someone.

		The game is brilliant as far as graphics and gameplay go, but it’s a real shame it has to be marred by the console style “checkpoint” save system and a set of incredibly cheap enemies.
		Supposedly a quicksave feature is included in the 1.1 patch (there’s really no reason this should have been omitted from the retail version –quicksaving is nothing new, and any game that has ever omitted it has been harangued for it – i.e.
		Quicksaving should improve the gaming experience quite a bit, so you won’t have to replay the same areas over and over again (most likely one of the reasons it’s said to be a 20 hour game), but it still can’t remedy the cheapness of its enemies.

		Apparently there is a patch in the works to fix this, and allow quicksaving, but this is an unforgivable error.
		Quicksaving is standard in PC FPSs, and the lack of it is an example of blatant arrogance and/or stupidity on the part of Crytek.
		I should say this is mostly with respect to the "third force" on the archipelago.

		Quicksaving in an FPS is not a sin for me since I am not that fond of the gameplay.
		Quicksaving is an option and you're never forced to use it, so no point complaining about it.
		Basically, what it boils down to for me is that anyone who complains about being unable to resist quicksaves, cheats, or easy game settings are deluding themselves about their ability to enjoy the game otherwise (again, same as walkthroughs).

	Seadogs Forums -> Saving and quicksaving..................
		Now, quicksave is usually my first problem.......it loads the previous save instead of the one it's supposed to.
		I haven't encountered the problm of a "previous" quicksave restoring, but one problem I've encountered is where the game will appear to save properly, but when it is reloaded the game will crash to the Main Menu.
		For example, one of the "classic" autosave corruptions would occur when the game was saving during the middle of a teleport (like during a swordfight) -- one might speculate that some of the data, which was in the course of being updating by the swordfight, got saved incorrectly by the autosave.

	The save/load problem - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		This is a good idea imo, the only issue with it would be letting the player know that this is the case but then players may also feel that the game is simply being bias to good players and punishing the worse players.
		And I've enjoyed console games save systems more than the Half Life quicksave simply because it doesn't lead to situations where step-saving is the first solution to come to mind.
		The play to beat, where quicksaving and quickloading is used frequently, and where we probably don't have a problem.

		For this area, I strongly recommend a good deal of quicksaving.

	Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory // PC /// Eurogamer
		The new quicksave takes away the challenge a little, yes, but only as much as you want it to, and most importantly, it surgically removes the frustration that ultimately ruined 1&2 for me. Kick ass soundtrack too.
		With checkpointing, that can be blamed, due to being too infrequent or saving at a point when you have bugger all health left or no bullets when you're just about to go into a room with 100's of enemies.
		I think that people who whinge about the game being too easy because you can quicksave, simply lack the willpower to resist using it; they are basically being selfish.

		It seems like what a lot of people miss when you look at quicksave vs. game-time ratios is the fact that to keep people interested in gaming, they (them, the makers of games) have had to make the games more difficult.
		They would quicksave and reload if they strayed from that path.
		Either the game is going to be ruthless and not allow quicksaves and be just as hard as our current games, or it will be watered-down and more well-balanced.

		The only issue I found with it is the confirmation box the game pops up asking if you'd like to overwrite your save.
		You'd think that with a quicksave system that box wouldn't be necessary, and id Software agrees too.
		It turns out, however, that the confirmation is a requirement set by Microsoft for all Xbox titles that can't be avoided.

		Farcry is just so difficult already, quicksave would lower the frustration factor of having to complete 20 minutes worth of level to get back to where you were massacred.
		Granted I had already played through half the game by the time it came out, but I figure by the way they have it, you're alot more cautious, take alternate ways around things, and have to be stealthy.
		I definately got super pissed playing through it, but if I do the quicksave thing I think it would be for when I play it again at some point, to make it less insane.

		The problem with the "ten-minute saving scheme," is, not only is it too long, but people would just wait around ten minutes and save, then complain about what a crappy savegame system it has.
		I'd say that the problem isn't the quicksaving, though, so much as it is the entire single-player FPS design philosophy.
		This kind of setup encourages people to be more cautious, thus the constant quicksaving.

		It seems that the designers of this game were relying on gamers being happy to quicksave after every single person that they shot.
		But really, the enjoyment I got was only because I managed to work around the various flaws in the game - mainly by quicksaving and quickloading on a frequent basis.
		The only way that I was able to get anywhere was by liberal use of the quicksave function, which is not exactly the best way to play a game and reeks of bad game design.
