This is the best system in my opinion as it offers the most control to the player. If you choose to abuse it , that's on you.

After all it allows you to save anytime and anywhere it doesn't require you to save all the time and everywhere.

I agree 100% with this, all game should save when I need to quit.

Actually, Steam is having its Halloween sale so there's quite a few games that are cheap now. (Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines for just $5!)

Save anywhere, anytime for me. Yeah, I sometimes abuse it with the old Aggressive Saving Technique but not all that often.

If you have a save anywhere system, saving in beginning of the area only would be kind of pointless, if you die then all your progress will be lost. But you can still redo all your choices in NPC dialogues and know where the trap is and so on for your second run, from the point where you guessed would be a good save point ( Which is also kind of pointless, how would I know where is a good point to save? ). Besides games that have save anywhere are designed around that, expecting the player to save anywhere.

It was ok (I think). The save system didn't bother me too much because most of the time the actual time between saves was short. However, what bothered me was that the game was pretty short and the story never really fully developed. Also voices would probably ahve improved the experience (well quality voices). I'll wait on berlin to see if it is any good but it needs to be longer, more intricate (detailed) for me to consider biting.
