The Mass Effect auto save system is garbage...

I'm on the part where you have to find Liara on this planet with brown rocks and lava. I spent 45 minutes in the mako trying to slowly make my way through. I have to get on foot and I get ambushed by these geth stalkers. I get killed pretty quickly. So I think to myself "okay I'll get them this time..". I load up. I'm in the mako. I look on my map.... IM ALL THE WAY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LEVEL! Pretty much a whole hour wasted. Who the hell came up with autosave in this game...

  • -blam!- it I'm just gonna download Gensis and play ME2 this game is too frustrating. ME2 has the perfect mix of RPG elements and action genre stuff. ME3 goes way too far to the shooter route though. I feel like Dead Space 3 went down this route as well. ME3 feels like a hyrbrid between Dead Space and some other shooter I forget the name of. Gears of War I think.

  • Playing that series too, rushed through the first one just to get away from the shity spawns... Make sure to be extra carefull climbing the Presidium on the last mission.

    > RPG > Using auto save But in all seriousness, the auto save system in ME1 sucks ass. I learned the hard way as well. Use manual saves.

  • Looks like you learned the hard way. Manually save all the time in ME1. Autosave will not help you.

  • I agree but the Mass Effect 2 auto save is pretty good so you haven little to worry about once you pass the first one.

  • Yeah, Mass Effect 1 had some pretty aggravating parts.

    • Real Spectres just drive past everything in the mako. Also, you need to manually save.

    • Ha this is ironic, I finished the first game (again....maybe 6th time?) literally 5 minutes ago. It was not pleasant. Being a PC man I need the graphics, set to ultra this game looks like garbage, but never had any issues, saved regularly because thats a lesson I learnt in the Mako. But fixing the games graphical issues through code fixes and mod installations I encountered a new problem....crashing. It all started in Noveria, constant crashing left and right, denied saving and hours of work lost. This game, as much as I loved it on Xbox was such a chore here. God damn console ports suck ass, I'm so glad it's over. In the end I had to finish the game with the base options, low res garbage, because the last scene of the game would crash, as would half the damn game. *sips tea* God damn

    • Get used to it. The first game rarely autosaves. The second game is slightly better, and you can quick save so it's alright. The third game is fine in that regard though.

    • Mass Effect 1 was the worst in the series, gameplay wise.
