#Stupid game titlws manual

Even then, the time it took you to make multiple attempts at an encounter is definitively all time it took you to clear that run, and should thus count toward that run's total time.Īnd the likely reason it's gone overseen for multiple games is because, due to the intrinsic limitations of how a manual save file works, it's functionally unfixable. 'A time rank' is a measure of your performance time-wise, so please don't bother unnecessarily splitting hairs there. So I'm inclined to argue that the actual oversight is having you return to an earlier save state where your timer was lower and keeping the timer you had whe you died. And it's been like that since RE2 remake, so it's an oversight that's gone overseen for a few yers now. Title screen, two saves, game reboots, switching between one run and another.

If it 'should' roll back, then surely by the third game on the engine they would've fixed it, no? (If not even the fourth, I can't remember if Village is the same engine or not) It only rolling the timer back if you go all the way back to the title screen is far more an indication that the timer isn't meant to roll back, with the title screen/an alt-f4/etc trick allowing one to cheese around that being a limitation of the nature of how a manual save file works, rather than any sort of indication that it 'should' roll back. The evidence being that when they go back to the main menu and hit Load Game from there, it works like it should. The problem is doing it from the death screen has the same effect as hitting Continue instead, that's not intentional, that's redundant. OP is talking about loading from a previous save altogether, from a typewriter. Continuing is from a checkpoint/autosave which is valid to keep the death/timer persisting against you.

Originally posted by arsenicBumpnip:And that's exactly how it should be. Not to mention if it was like that then why even offer a save function at any other point except the chapter start?For people who aren't trying to S+ Professional? And for Normal/Hardcore S+ runs, so you have more opportunities to take a break from your attempt than just chapter-start? Critical thinking -really- isn't that hard on this one, fam. That it lets you cheese to still get an S+ despite dying a bunch should be cause for you to jump for joy, not something you treat like a gross inconvenience, given the intended behavior is that you'd have to start the run over from scratch if you die too much. The 'going back to the menu resets the timer' oversight is clearly just that: an oversight. If you can't clear the run without dying, then why do you deserve an S+, the absolute highest performance rank, on that run?

The whole point of the timer persisting between deaths is that you don't exactly deserve an S+ rating if you needed to repeatedly die-then-Continue just to clear the run.īut I die and then I reload a previous save state from the typewriter function on the death screen and it still adds time.Īnd that's exactly how it should be.
