Current Events > Yakuza 4 is really fun. Only one issue so far:

(+) Yeah! (+)

No autosave.

I only say this because there was a blackout this morning when I was playing it, and I lost all of my progress with Tanimura for the day. I had just finished the Bridge subplot, I was at level 16 and I was trying the hostess clubs out for the first time so I could complete the Kansai comedy dude's substory, and there was a noise like a rubbish bin getting tipped over before my power went out. I'm at the Finale, and I had the good sense to save after I finished all of Saejima's substories, but unfortunately Tanimura wasn't as lucky.

I actually do really like how there's no autosave, it's a cool aesthetic choice that I get a kick out of. Going around and saving at payphones? Love it. It feels like a touch of the past, and I really like it. But seriously, fuck having to replay those substories. They had such a good bite to them, and I was driven to finish them - now I have to retread them, and basically skip through them all.
