Do you prefer Auto Saves or Manual Saves?

This isn't necessarily tied to the lack of auto saves. The design choice at fault here is the decision to force the player back to their last save when they 'game over.' Take a game like Xenoblade, which exclusively uses manual saves but simply returns you physically to the last fast-travel point you visited when you die, without causing you to lose any actual progress.

Ah yeah, I did like how Xeno did it. I suppose it is just the pure manual save design I'm not a big fan of. Don't make me lose hours of progress for small mistakes. x.x
