The Dead Rising 2 save sustem is horrible. After hours of having fun with my friend on it, the sword wielding twin psychos kill us and we revert to ages before because it doesn't autosave and let you redo a psycho battle. Just great.
World at War was a nightmare on Veteran difficulty. I remember Burn em Out. There were so many grenades it'd autosave then I'd get blown up. Over and over again.
I don't know Locke. I like the ability to manually save but I think having autosaves as well gives the best of both worlds. It does seem to have disappeared that's true. For what reason I don't know.
