reply12 hours long? no more hard save system? god, they are listening to the nubs too much.

As long as this isn't a Devil May Cry --> Devil May Cry 2 scenario.....I'm ok I guess.

I actually liked the no quicksave feature of FarCry. True, some of the autosave points could have been spread a little more evenly but other than that it was fine. There should be an option to disable quicksave for those of us who want a great challenge.
I am guilty of abusing the quicksave button sometimes. Though in Oblivion having to hit the quicksave every 10 seconds is a necessity.... -

it's not a super challenge, it just teaches you to adapt and rethink the situation. I'm worried there won't be any of that if you can autosave.

I disagree -- I think it's frustrating. I wouldn't think they'd remap their entire design just because of saving -- if anything, I bet they'd make the game even more difficult if they incorporated a quick save. Ultimately, it goes back to those who want to save, can. Those who don't can ignore the feature. Including a quick save gives both sides an option. Removing the feature completely alienates (and frustrates) the other portions.
I stopped playing Far Cry because some sections just pissed me off too much. -
It's my $50. Let me play how I want, not how you want me to.

IMHO quick save has always been the worst decision in FPS design because it's the best excuse not to polish difficulty. (if a FPS is very linear at least; that is 99% of FPSes)
"What do you say QA guys? this passage at the end of the level is stupidly hard? We don't give a fuck, there's quick save for a reason."
As an alternative there's also: "What do you say QA guys? You can't avoid this trap the first time around because you can't know it's here? We don't give a fuck, there's quick save for a reason."
QS are convenients at times, but they foster lazy design & polishing most of the time.

Hopefully multiplayer will add extended playtime to the game this time.
