Checkpoints?

(If there were threads made already, i didn't see them so, sorry)

 

As you all know, TLAD and TBoGT featured rather favorable checkpoints.

Do you think GTA V will include checkpoints or will it be as the rest of the GTA series was before TLAD?

What are your feelings on checkpoints?

Checkpoints please! That was probably the worst thing about IV.

I am on the fence about it. They're are different ways to play through missions.

I am on the fence about it.

They can be based more or less on objectives completed (which you have to do anyways, no matter how you do the mission) rather than location (in the alleyway, arrived at the warehouse, etc.), which still allows freeform missions without teleporting you to where you were 'supposed' to be if you get killed or otherwise fail the mission.

 

It can be used in areas where you have to arrive somewhere specific as well, so that when you redo a mission, you don't have to drive all the f*cking way over there, which is just really annoying. And I imagine that not every mission necessarily has checkpoints.

It's already been confirmed to use checkpoints. Read the CVG preview.

True.

If you die the game reloads to the last checkpoint, even if two other characters are alive

there are check points, its confirmed in the previews

[rodrich266]

Checkpoints have been confirmed by CVG

 

I also think they said the checks will be more forgiving and will be seen commonly

[aldisdzerve]

Sucks! Hate checkpoints. They will make it too easy. If I fail mission I always press load game right away. Uuhatrg how it should stay

[wwinterj]

So we have a problem but also a solution to that problem so there is no problem been as you have a solution.

[Backfire6]

lol I never saw any checkpoints in those two. o_0 Must not have been paying attention. I just save regularly. Checkpoints during missions are ALWAYS good in my book. Or else you'd be forced

to start ALLLLL over at the beginning. Causing much Rage....

[saintsrow]

I vote for checkpoints.

 

I understand that the hardcore people don't want checkpoints, but I don't like the experience of playing through the same bunch of difficult steps in a long mission, trying to finally beat it over 2 or 3 nights. That's not fun gaming, that's frustration. Going to bed knowing I blew 3 or 4 hours on one damn mission is not fun. So if I can ratchet up past some of those steps, I'm happy.
