Where was the jack-assery? :/

I'm not really sure what I want in gaming anymore. It depends whether I want to immerse myself in a world or just pick up something and have fun.

also, lots of autosaves. I always forget to save.

I think autosaves shouldn't be too frequent. Relying on your saves isn't quite as satisfying

 

[Que-Ever]

But relying on my saves is never satisfying :/
