Saving Games in Hitman Blood Money?

Hi there.

I started the training mission, got part way through, saved the game and went out for a while. I tried to load it today and finish it off, to see if I want to keep playing the game, and there's no save game file? Do I have to finish every mission before I quit the game to be able to reload saves?

Thanks,

Chris

In a word - yes. From what I recall, saves in mission are only valid in mission, you need to get between missions before you can quit playing and save your progress.

Well thanks, I'll stop wasting my time on the game and move on to other ventures!

Huh? Ive played all the Hitman games and I swear everyone had a quicksave ability. I usually recall when a game does'nt. You sure theres no way to do that in Blood Money?

I can save inside the mission, but if I want to exit the game before I finish the mission, I lose the save games. I have trouble understanding why a game would be designed in such a way, but it is what it is ... off of my hard drive.

Yeah, this has to be one of the dumber decisions in a while, even though I really liked Blood Money overall.

Yes, and I likely would have as well, and I'm bummed about it. Overall though, I'm not very good at games like this. I tend to get stuck in the missions sometimes, and then frustrated and need to walk away and return with a fresh mindset. Or sometimes they just take too long to finish, and I have to go to work or out or something. I just can't imagine why they'd have done it that way. Oh well, on to Galactic Civ II, which I know I will love.

It's a great game though.
But I quit playing after about 7 missions because of that savegame thing.
I do plan to continue when I have larger blocks of playing time available.
Really, it's a lot of fun. Don't give up on it completely.

Can't you alt-tab out and move those saves before quiting?
