Hit up the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/gripes-week-2025\/\">Gripes Week hub<\/a> for more of what&#8217;s grinding our gears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When Pacific Drive launched there were no mid-mission saves, and if you didn&#8217;t complete an entire jaunt in a single go you&#8217;d have to abandon it and throw away whatever progress you&#8217;d made. That only happened to me a couple of times, but it was enough to make me gunshy about going for a second run if it was getting late or I had somewhere to be or the dog was looking edgy, and so I&#8217;d call it quits after one run of Pacific Drive then play another game that fit into whatever time I had left. Until eventually I just switched to that other game and never went back.<\/p>\n<p>Though Pacific Drive&#8217;s game director Seth Rosen previously said he was committed to the game being the way it was and we could like it or lump it, a year later he changed his mind and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/pacific-drive-developers-change-their-mind-a-year-after-refusing-to-give-it-mid-run-saves-its-getting-mid-run-saves\/\">Pacific Drive was updated<\/a> to have a sensible save system for normal people. Too late for me, though. I&#8217;d already moved on, uninstalled it, and frankly forgotten so much of what was going on that I&#8217;d have to start over anyway. Maybe some day I will?<\/p>\n<p>A similar thing happened with the System Shock remake. It had a robust set of difficulty options that meant you could leave the combat on normal but turn the navigation down to easy to activate a waypoint system. Since my main memory of the original is getting completely lost\u2014and hating the controls, but mainly getting lost\u2014I turned that option on. And then didn&#8217;t see any waypoints.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"DjpqfmuEBMehKKogdpMZ5f\" name=\"20230524152447_1.jpg\" alt=\"A shot of a wide hangar from the System Shock remake.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/when-the-quality-of-life-update-fixes-something-that-annoyed-me-after-i-stop-playing-the-dang-game.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nightdive)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Turned out they were completely missing from the launch version of System Shock, which seems like a pretty big oops from Nightdive. I struggled on, but eventually had one of those moments where I didn&#8217;t have time to play for a few days, and then spent an entire evening figuring out where I was and what I was supposed to be doing without making any progress. That kills pretty much any game stone dead for me.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in 2024 the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/the-system-shock-remake-is-getting-a-massive-patch-with-a-revised-ending-choice-of-female-player-character-8-years-in-the-making-and-a-massive-quality-of-life-improvement\/\">System Shock remake was updated<\/a> to have an easy mode waypoint system that actually worked the way the menu said it would. It got a bunch of other neat changes too. But again, too late for me.<\/p>\n<p>Bugfix patches are one thing, but it&#8217;s common now for games to get significant post-launch quality-of-life updates as well. Blue Prince&#8217;s updates have made it so certain doors and a safe remain open once you&#8217;ve solved the associated puzzles once, so you don&#8217;t have to repeat that stuff on subsequent runs. Promise Mascot Agency&#8217;s update is going to let your truck do <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PromiseMascotAgency\/comments\/1m2a2zp\/sneak_peek_at_the_free_content_update\/\">a sick rail-grind<\/a>.

But it keeps happening and I don&#8217;t have time to play every single videogame twice. I could wait, but I am enough of a wanker that I enjoy playing things when they&#8217;re new so I can feel like &#8220;part of the conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If we weren&#8217;t airing our grievances this week like it&#8217;s Festivus I wouldn&#8217;t bring this up, because it&#8217;s not like I think game developers shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to make games better for free. That&#8217;s a really nice thing to do. I just wish we could coordinate so it would stop happening right after the moment I uninstall them and delete the cache where I remember their plot and also controls from my brain.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/when-the-quality-of-life-update-fixes-something-that-annoyed-me-after-i-stop-playing-the-dang-game\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Pacific Drive you develop a relationship with your car like the classic bad relationship you have with a person in your 20s: &#8220;I can fix them.&#8221; Only you&#8217;re right, because it&#8217;s a car and not an unemployed stoner who is sort of in a band sometimes.
