6 Great Games With Terrible Save & Checkpoint Systems

Dead Rising 2

Dead Rising 2 is a unique take on the zombie genre. Stuck in a giant shopping mall with a number of hostile zombies and crazy characters, it’s your job to survive until help arrives.

The only way to save your hard earned progress in the game is by manually saving in a bathroom. Bathrooms aren’t everywhere and, depending on where you are, you won’t see one for a while.

Also, don’t forget that time is an important factor when completing quests and making sure your daughter doesn’t turn into a zombie.

So, if you save at an inopportune time, like five minutes before Katey needs her Zombrex and you’re more than five minutes away, goodbye Katey. That never happened to me *cough* *cough*.
