Most PC shooters have a more noobish feature than Console Aim Assist.

1. You don't have to use it.

2. Its helpful because I hate dieing and being sent back to the checkpoint which is almost a mile away(Crysis)

Agreed, I don't like it when you have to save at a certain checkpoint or something, and I think more developers utilize the save anywhere feature.

It's optional. You can play through Crysis using only the checkpoint saves, or you can make use of quicksaves/loads. PC gamers like me may well like to be able to load up a savegame at a specific point to do something fun, like blow up some guy over and over. Or something else.

Yup, they are totally noobish games, nothing like progames like Halo 3 or Gears of War 2 :P

Yeah, with quick save you don't have to use it, and the save anywhere save type is alot better than the check point system most console shooters use, mainly because sometimes the checkpoints are placed in bad areas.

(BTW nice Sig TF 2 rules)

Quick saving doesn't make the game easier as Auto-Aim does. It just makes it less annoying.

Could you honestly say that you want to do the same part over and over and over again just to get up to a point that you find difficult? :S

Quick save doesn't inherently make the game easier. It is basically an optional checkpoint system. You can use it or not but it doesn't make the game easier to play since you still have to play the same thing whether you use it or not.

If some games didn't have it, they would be incredibly frustrating.

Exactly what I was thinking. Quick-save isn't noobish for games that were designed for quick-save. If you put quick-save into a game that wasn't made for it, THEN it would be noob-ish. Otherwise it isn't.

It was retarded to have quick save feature in Silent Hill 2 in PC version for example where in console version there wasn't such feature and it defeated the purpose of its original save system in PC version.

The fail is strong in this thread. Quick save is not noobish. Sometimes it vastly helps me enjoy a game instead of having to go hours back to a check point and have to redo everything.

It's called checkpoints are a thing of the past. Maybe you should play older games where you're limited a certain amount of lives before you have to start over again with no save points.

I'm a quicksave junkie, I admittedly quicksave every 30 seconds or so, maybe more. Quicksaving isn't "noobish" it just allows me to expediate the death process. Why should I have to replay something, when I don't need to, nor want to?

Another lame topic to attack PC shooters, what's new?

And BTW, you can turn it off, enjoy having to restart missions from scratch after dieing so many times.

noobish would only apply to online. you can't quicksave online so you fail. besides, what's wrong with a convenient feature like that? you don't have to use it, where as with most console fps's there isn't an option to turn off auto aim.

HURF DURF

Auto aim is a system that attempts to make the game easier/ level the playing field for people who are either new to the game or just lack the skills to aim.

A noob is someone that is new to a game and lacks the skills to play it well. So auto aim would fit the definition of "noobish."

Quicksave lets you save when ever you want. It in no way helps you aim or makes the game easier. It just saves you from having to fight through the same fights over and over again. The last console FPS I played that had check points were Halo1/2 and it was, by far, the most obnoxious save system I have ever encountered.

recharging health makes the game far easier than quick saves. in farcry or hl2 you actually cared when you lost health with recharging health you don't care, take cover for a few secs and good as new.

MOD:Frontline was the first and only FPS that I beat without a quick save feature. Yes, it sucked that you had to restart the whole level again if you die, but on the bright side, it made the game experience feel more tense 'cause you were so afraid that you were going to die once you made it halfway through the level and much more satisfying once you made it.

If a game doesn't have a quick save feature, I'm fine with it.

  1. Quick save doesn't affect multiplayer at all.
  2. It doesn't make the game easier to play, it just cuts out unnecessary amounts of repetition that you get by dying.
  3. :lol: at this topic.

that's not as noobish as having the game play itself for you. it's totally reasonable and saves a lot of time. a person can retry the same segment on Far Cry 2 50+ times on PC in the time it would take to reattempt it once on a console.
