I got talking with some friends a few days ago and save points came up. At first I thought they were something necessary to some games and never thought much of them, but the more I thought of it, the more they just seem unnecessary these days.
An automatic checkpoint system or save anytime system just seems better in every way to save points and I honestly don't know why we still use them.
Note-- I'm assuming they still get used today. I assume at least FFXIII and God of War 3 still use them and those are pretty big name games. When compared to something like Uncharted that has a generous checkpoint system and Mass Effect that lets you save anywhere out of combat, the save points just seem silly and outdated.
