discussion Does Anyone Else Drop a Game When Old Saves Don't Work?

[Hongbottlo]

Depends of the amount to new content that can be gained from the update. Loosing progress for a tiny bit is too much hassle

 

[xxxlugexxx]

No, I start from scratch, it gets easier until I progress further.

 

[BakaSenpai]

If it's hard to reach the saved point, then it's a no go, even if it's a great game.

 

[DiaperLove]

Depends on the game and how much has changed since my last save. Ofthen when savegames are broken critical changes have been done and its worth to explore the then modified game again

 

[Trickster]

If the gap between the last time I played and the latest update is long, I usually start the game from the beginning

 

[KPIG_TV]

Yeah, that's really awful when you played all content over the game and you have to play it again for new content. I'm just dropping these games until there is huge amount of content in past updates or until they are finished

 

[Aster Ater]

Nah, mistakes happen and the skip button works, one way or another I'm getting back to the place I left off.
I restart games I haven't played in a while regularly anyway

 

[Sural Argonus]

I treat it like I treat MMO beta testing. The game is in development. I am not playing a fully complete and released game, I am playing a test version. Sometimes test versions have changes that require starting over.

 

[verybadboye]

i mean if the game was incredibly long and tedious to get through then yes probably, otherwise im fine with redoing it

 

[entry1]

depends on the lenght and quality of the game

 

[DannyO24]

If old game saves don't transfer to new updates I'll keep playing if the gameplay isn't too complicated, if it's a VN then most of the time I'll just skip through the dialogue by pressing the alt button and stop once I get to new content, but if the game requires me to grind and play mini games then I'm gonna lose interest pretty quick.

 

[HarryMason]

If its been a while then I usually start from the beginning any way so I guess not really (this also goes for normal games).

 

[Romalous]

SpaceCorpsXXX is notorious for this it became practically every single update and with how awkward the branching paths are skipping ahead can lead to a game over screen so i stopped bothering i will play it if it ever gets finished

 

[rocketsheep]

I have never done that, as I play mostly AVNs and with the correct settings you can usually rush through them rather quickly. However, if it happens with a relatively small update, I may decide to wait for a substantial extension before I get back into it.

 

[vandura]

It all depends on how much I like the game and want to play the update. I've been known to use the skip button to catch back up on a game that didn't take my old save.

 

[Animazon]

The amount of time between versions is usually so small that is ok for me to replay it - just to remind myself what happened before.

 

[SloppySqueezer]

Only in certain games. Otherwise I just hold down the Ctrl key until I reach new content or my favorite scenes from older versions.

 

[xatfx]

It all depends on whether the game is very good or not.
I was pleased to replay Desert Stalker from the beginning and see the improvements made.

 

[LewdVN111]

Depends on a few factors. I have dropped some games in the past that had quite a lot of time/content to get to the save point I was at. Just seems like work trying to go back through to get to my save point again.

 

[planB]

I usually just start from scratch then.
The only exceptions are games with a lot of grinding or a sandbox setting with a lot of content, where you have to navigate through a dozen of locations to progress.
In short, as long as the last save point is reachable in a reasonable time and effort, I restart.
If not, it's out for me forever, or at least for a very long time.
