Have you ever saved your game at a bad time?

[hbkjason]

By this I mean I have saved your game at a point where your are pretty much ed and have to start the game again or if your lucky go to a earlier save. I have 2 that spring to mind.

First is Resident Evil code veronica on the dreamcast I am sure some will know what I am going to say before they even read this. I saved my game just before the battle with the Tyrant on the plane. I saved my game with next to no ammo and no herbs or first aid sprays or much in the item box. I was so pissed I had to start the damn game from the start.

This second one to be fair is not really my fault it was on Tomb Raider Legend for the 360 it was the part where Lara is on the bike. Well I lost control of the bike as I went through a check point and went off the cliff. So whenever it reloaded it was just as I was flying of the cliff lol.

What about you guys? I have read before that many people made the mistake first time round with code veronica that I did.

DOOM on the Xbox Live arcade. I was in this pit of lava or some crap, and I saved it. Needless to say, I pretty much locked myself into an endless death cycle. When I load it, I die. Then when you die, you load from the last save, which is in the lava.

I was constantly getting screwed in Max Payne where I would get a save in a bad area, with no ammo and no pain killers and a bunch of enemies.


And that Code Veronica Tryant battle pissed me off. Even if I hadn't saved before that battle, I wouldn't have had any chance of getting nearly enough ammo to be able to beat him. God I hated having to restart that game. I actually didn't even beat it until after it was re-released on the PS2 and I didn't have my copy of the DC version anymore

I saved a couple times in games where I am almost dead and I have no medkits or anything.

[sincityhero]

We all have lol

There have been a few. But I remember on King Kong I saved at the beginning and never did on my way through and then froze. So pretty much said screw it and haven't played since.

In FFIX It was some cave or whatever where you had to used different bells to open doors, I somehow used my last bell on a door that could be opened without one and saved my game thinking I would find another one somewhere.

[No Brokeback]

I saved on Max Payne 2 where if I was shot one more time I would have been dead and a bullet was no more than 1 foot away from his face. So I either had to try to slow motion out of the way, or start the game from the beginning.

Lets just say after about 40 tries, I finally got him out of the bullets way, and lived to take on all the bastards who almost killed me.

I saved Splinter Cell double agent in a mission that you couldn't be detected on, well every time I loaded the save, a guy walked right into me, and I failed the mission.

[Cult Member BriGuy]

yeah it used to happen. But now I make a new save file every time i save. then after i used them all I go and begin saving over the oldest save.

[Graze]

I remember playing Syphon Filter 1. I saved it when an alarm went off. So, everytime I loaded that save file, I had to deal with enemies and hiding for a few mins after my save.

[Midnight Fistfight]

Yeah, on Morrowind, I saved when I was one slice from a sword away from dying. The guy hit me right after so, I would keep coming back and then die instantly.

Halo 3. I forget where it is, but at some point you are supposed to split away from the Arbiter. You take a tank, and he gets on a ship which flies away. I never saw the tank, so I got on the ship. It lifted off, and I hit a checkpoint. But, as the ship flies away, you fall right through it. It happened again and again and again, so I had to go back to the beginning of the level.

[merobb]

Yeah, I don't remember the specifics but I pretty much ed myself in Oblivion.

Actually I had to resort to this once in Final Fantasy X it was there part where Tidus and Wakka fight that under water machine I don't think its atht far into te game. But it happened at a time when I had no potions or anything. Good ol gameshark saved my ass on that one though.

[Reasoning through Questioning]

I just did it. Indigo Prophecy. No matter what I do my mood is so bad so I just keep killing myself and have to start again.

I'd done it a couple of times in Prince of Persia: Sands of time. There was one save point that if you saved it at that point that chick that was with you wouldn't open a door that she was supposed to and you'd get stuck in the room, forced to re-start.
