Every gamer knows the feeling of distrust with a game's autosave feature. Although the autosaves are meant to give gamers the peace of mind that their progress is getting backed up, what an autosave actually does is incite fear in the heart of the player. An autosave can only mean one thing… You're about to get destroyed against the hardest boss to date.
We may manually save our game at random intervals to give ourselves the confidence to continue playing, but there's nothing quite like the gamer gut dread of seeing that little pinwheeling autosave in the corner. As you stock up on suspicious amounts of ammo, your character's stats suddenly seem egregiously low, making your eminent demise far more nerve-racking. But that's why we play isn't it? Because games give us a sense of awe, wonder, and bewilderment. Even if we know we're going to get whooped by the NPC's, some insanely scary boss, or just those 11-year-olds playing online, gaming gives every gamer that little tingle in their stomach that's so tough to find nowadays.
So if you're thinking of manually saving the day, take a leap of faith and scroll through these hilarious gamer memes that'll give you that same haptic feedback as your controllers.
