well I use the saved game feature to save a place when I have done something important. ie after a level up, after a full health restore ocationally. Also after any stat modifying or equipment upgrades to my character. In the case of some other games, after an objective is completed. I don't overly save/ restore for the heck of it. I use the save feature of entombed and gtc as well as sod a lot to save what I am doing, mostly though I never use more than 1 slot, I use another slot or two if I have to do something tricky with low health etc. In the case of david's new game I will save mainly because I won't want to play all hours or if I have been doing so, so I can resume later. But I suppose everyone has their view. Abusing a save is just not good.
