New Auto-Save feature, Mr. Resetti has lost his job

So apparently due to NH autosaving Mr. Resetti can't yell at us for not saving anymore. I'm going to miss it TBH...

Luckily he'll still be in NH. According to the article " 'We also believe that Mr. Resetti is looking for a new job after his layoff. So please look forward to that,' Kyogoku teases, potentially hinting that he'll assume a new role."

Wait, it auto saves?? Don't know how I feel about that.

Auto-save? That is bad.

I don't like this new autosaving feature.

Awww shoot. Not a big fan of auto saving either. Oh well. Guess I'll have to be careful. :/

What is bad about auto save? I'm sure you can also save like normal too so you won't lose any progression.

I'm seconding this, I'm not sure what the issue with auto save is.

Some of us like to reset. If the game auto saves it takes away that chance for a do-over.

Imagine you accidentally run through the blue roses to took you 3 months to grow. Imagine your finger slips and you hit 'yes' when your favorite villager asks you if they should move. Imagine you accidentally sell the rare furniture you didn't realize you had in your pockets.

Because I've done all of these things and let me tell you: I DON'T WANT AUTOSAVE. We have always had the freedom to hit the emergency button when things don't go our way and I don't see why they're taking that away.

That makes me not want to play.

I can't reset if I've made a mistake because it auto saves.

Another thing, what if they keep the thing where a villager asks to move, you say yes, but they change their mind right there. If they are putting in auto-save they need to remove that.

If it autosaves, I hope its not an autosave system where you automatically load up your last save. Like I would want a system like BOTW where you can choose from your save from yesterday vs your save from 3 weeks ago. At least that way we could still reset.

Let's talk about the worse thing that can happen about autosaving.

If a villager rejects their own opinion on moving and decides to stay, you're stuck with that. And you must risk the chance of avoiding their pings at all times so you can securely move them out without any of that "I wanna stay instead".

I dont like it

I don?t like it i prefer save the game by myself

 

[Ossiran]

We'll have to see exactly when and where it auto-saves. If, for example, it only auto-saves when you enter/exit a building, it gives a bit more of a chance to fix mistakes.

 

[mayorapple]

If you're at all familiar with games that auto save, it only "auto saves" every x amount of time or x amount of actions so if something like that happens you will still be able to immediately close out the game and reopen at the last auto save. That way you undo your mistake without losing all your other progress too.

 

[SensaiGallade]

Okay lets put this out there real quick. We don't know how often it autosaves to begin with, whether theres set time intervals or just depends on how long you play. With that being said if you know the game has autosaved before a mistake has happened, you could always go off the game and restart from the last autosave.

I understand these concerns, but the news has literally just came out and we're immediately pulling ourselves to two polar opposites of the positives and negatives without much thought, myself included. I think we should step back, take a breather and wait for more information about it rather than jumping to conclusions.
