How often do you save in the Half-Life games?
Once every chapter? Once every loading screen? Or just whenever you feel like it?

>> No.5363584

>>5363580
Before and after every encounter.

Never. Autosave is fine.

I once savescummed so hard I finished the entire game without losing any health.

(aside from that bit where you're forced to fall down the pipe and smash through the table)

I'm talking re-mapping the quicksave/quickload to z and c for convenience.

Learning to ignore the quick save button was one of the best things that happened to me. It made me appreciate exploration and risk management.

The first Medal of Honor did worse to the fps scene than half life ever did as a whole. HL has varied enemies and kick ass sci fi guns. I have used my deductive reasoning to come to the conclusion that you are a tasteless retard. By hating good games and being a brainless contrarian it is you who should return to /v/

I savescum like crazy, but only reload if I die or put myself into unwinnable situation (for all games).

>> No.5368623

if i was low on health i'd hit quicksave after every enemy or group of enemies killed. Otherwise i just kept going with reckless abandon.

Quicksaves were a mistake
