In the new Bioshock Infinite DLC, which I was rather getting into, I found that I could not save. It was disappointing, but not nearly as much as when I tried to restart wave 9 only to find out after I selected the option that going back to the last checkpoint meant restarting from wave 1.
So, here's my question: Is there a reason that perfectly simple and readily available technology, that would improve my experience in the game I bought, is being withheld from me? I'm seriously asking. Why would such basic technology, that was in the original Bioshock and improved it, not be in the sequel?
Edit:
I answered it in a later post, but people keep asking me why I would want more checkpoints or free saves on a survival challenge.

Gears of War 3's Horde mode, by contrast, lets me start from any wave on any map, which allows me to enjoy the experience I'm interested in having. As such, it improved the game for me.PayNSprayBandit said:The first BSI DLC, the only one that's out, is Horde style. There are four maps with 15 waves each. But, instead of each map having a bunch of regular waves followed by a boss wave, every wave is carefully crafted with a wave/map specific challenge. They're called the Blue Ribbon Challenges. So the fifth wave of map A is unique from all other waves, but is the same every time you play Map A, Wave 5. I like some Blue Ribbon Challenges more than others. It's not just about seeing how long I can survive. It's also not about getting the ribbons. I got all the ribbons on the first map in two runs. I still enjoy the challenges.
If I'm in the mood to play a specific challenge repeatedly, the game doesn't really offer that option.
