There was a big debate about that on the Entombed discussion list a few
weeks back as well, but saving is generally much more a part of that style
of game than it generally is for side scrollers, although I have seen a few
that did allow you to save. Some felt we should only be allowed to save at
Save Points like in some of the Final Fantasy titles, but then there's
always the possibility that you're too beaten up to make it back there alive
and you'd just have to pray you didn't run into anymore monsters before you
made it back. I understand their view point but I don't always agree with
it. Of course some games allow for that by including a Quicksave feature,
although the file will be erased immediately when you load it up again. But
it gives you the option to save if you're on a time crunch or something like
that. But I still feel that if someone doesn't like the save-anywhere option
they don't have to use it much if at all. They can just remember that next
time they die and lose all their hard work.

Hi Bryan,
Exactly my thoughts. If there is someone who doesn't want to save games
while playing there is no law saying they have to. Yes, people can use it
to cheat, but cheaters are only cheating themselves in the end.

A worthy ambition, but given the increased difficulty I have a feeling
that if Thomas did that he'd live to regret it. Here's a concept. If ya
don't like a given feature of a game, ya don't have to use it. Not trying
to be offensive here but that's how I feel. Quite frankly I'm greatful to
have the option to save at any point or I probably would have lost
patience with the new Beta. And as I grow more comfortable I use it less
anyways, usually only right before the boss if I decide I'm going to try
to bring him down.
