Saving the game in any spot

[CowPie]

its a good idea but it would make GTA too easy. Didnt IV have an autosave feature? that worked pretty well.

[Graven]

I'm not for any spot but hopefully something more and different than IV. Maybe some benches for quick nap, camping sites in the forest and couple motels.

IV save system was horrible...

 

I remember completing missions getting killed at the very end of it

and loading the autosave, and being in the safehouse, with no money loss (no death), mission done

 

I would go for something that's like

 

-every packages collected, random event, activity, stunt

you could press some control ingame (right after) to auto save on the main save spot

 

-after completing a mssion there is an auto save that will disapear at the end the gaming session

meaning you'll have to confirm your save at a safehouse to actually save for the next time

 

switching between three characters would never makes you so far from a safehouse in my opinion

Where is the line drawn? If you can save at any spot in the game, you might as well be able to save during missions too. I don't like the idea.

Yeah, I knew this would happen

 

I'll just request a lock.

Didn't I tell you to keep your ideas to yourself? Every time you think you've come up with something smart you just show how much of a fool you are.

 

As stupid as you are, you probably won't hear me out the second time being right, anyway, and will continue to share your mindless ideas. It shows in the trend every time the general community here disagrees with your nonsense. You can't seem to accept that you're not bright at all. I'm sad for you.

Nobody is f*cking perfect smartass.

And here I was thinking that everyone's supposed to be perfect. I give up trying to help you out.

It would be cool to If U could set a camp up. Think about the possibilities. U could live under a freeway in Downtown with the bum's. That would be f*cking awesome.

Yeah that'd be cool. But I would also be happy if we just had to go to the menu and press 'Save'

Because I don't want to always have to run to the next 'saving-place' before turning off the console or PC. Instant saving just saves time and thus it should be implemented.

Next time, elaborate your poll choices. I clicked no thinking that you meant saving ANYWHERE on the map. You should have put. Options instead of Yes, No, Maybe.

 

It should have been In your safehouse/motel, set a tent up...bla3x.

Maybe but definitely not during missions, checkpoints are great but quick saving would ruin the challenge.

 

As for freeroaming, I sort of like the idea but knowing Rockstar it couldn't just be a "press a button to save your progress" type of deal. Some sort of mobile saving option could make the game a bit less time consuming though. Here's what I have in mind: the player could sleep in their car as long as it was in a quiet place and without a wanted level. There is already a system in place for determining what constitutes a quiet place and it's the "whore AI"

 

It would be an easy to implement system that allowed players to save the game on the road and even continue where they left off. Time would move forward for a few hours so the game wouldn't have to remember where every nearby ped was etc. Maybe the player could even choose how much time to pass (1-6 hours). This would not refill health as it would be a too convenient way for that. Or maybe the game needs an easier way to restore health, I'm not sure, but this could offer that option as well.

 

What do you think of saving in the car? Remember you could save only without a wanted level and off the street in a quiet spot. If you want to save with a wanted level then the player has to make their way in to a safe house as usual.

I remember downloading a "save anywhere" mod for San Andreas, and everytime after saving, CJ would be half-naked - wearing only his white underwear. I'll have to go to the near-by safe house to get some clothes, everytime after saving. Pretty funny if you'd ask me.

 

Oh, and since this is a feature; and not a mod, I'll shove my vote to maybe.
