Autosave? please, you just ruined my game without it!

GrinningManiac · 11-09-2008, 07:42 PM

I was playing Space, and I was happy.

I had finally come to grasp the mechanics of the stage and my Empire was vast, rich and contempt.

so immersed was I that I forgot to save at any point and the game crashed, taking away a whole day's worth of gameplay.

I realise the saving was my fault, but Come ON EA! you create an incredibly immersive game and expect us to remeber such simple things? I choose to ignore Emoticons because I feel the only way of expressing my HATRED with everything at the moment is slamming the keyboard like a hormonic child.

I have been screaming into pillows, punching sofas and flailing wildly as I try to get the anger out. then I play the game. I see my Empire reduced to the state it was at this afternoon, with only two species and one being lalalalalala, whereas them both being before. I have lost FOUR badge places, lost contact with FOUR more species and lost nearly TWO-BLOODY-THIRDS of my Empire!

I blame YOU EA

EA only publish the game, Maxis developed/made the game.
Publishing is not the same as developing/making.

Blame Maxis if the game is buggy/lack features.

Blame EA if the manual is incorrect or your box is broken.

I have noticed many people mentioning that they would have liked an autosave function. This was included in feedback that has been passed on
