Hate lack of save points.
So I decided to play Maverl Ultimate Alliance tonight.... and I was doing pretty well. I found the 'special' mission of Iron Man and I beat it... I decided to switch out Ms. Marvel( as she just wasn't working for me) for Storm....
After saving from doing all the stuff at Stark Towers- I went underwater and cleared out two areas... I then started looking for a save point... as I was tired and had been playing for a bit. I had also found a couple of items and wanted to keep them( including Reed's special mission). I wasn't able to find one and so I rolled my eyes and went onward.
And Storm was working out REAL well. Even unlocked her classic outfit- even if I didn't get a chance to use it...
And Storm BIT it. Bleah. So I didn't save and now I have to re-do( eyeroll) ALL my undersea stuff ALL over again.
This is one of the reasons I like Rumble Roses( besides of course the eye candy... mmm Candy Cane!) is after each match I get to SAVE! So ok, if a match lasts 10 whole minutes I have to wait until the end to decide to save or redo the match BUT after each fight- I get to SAVE. No messy looking for save points or after 20 min. or so... deciding I gotta DASH to the save point because I have to go somewhere or something.
ARGH!
It just gets me annoyed as this is like the third time I've had to lose major time in M:UA... the first was when I wasn't feeling well but was suckered into cap's "special" mission( which I tried wayyy too many times before giving up) and the second was last week when I by mistake passed a door which I realized I should've gone in. The door was past a mid-level boss, and even though I only had a minor amount of problems beating him the first time- after NOT saving it then took me another 3 or 4 times to defeat him( and he was about a two min. walk from the last save point even without having to fight my way to him...)
I just really wish games were better about save points. It's not a question of making the game easier/harder as just making it smoother to play.
And not sure how much I'm looking forward to Dead Rising as I'm told that it also is bitchy when it comes to save points

Save points are extremely sparse in Dead Rising. Save every time you get the chance (which means going back and forth a lot).
M:UA, you should be able to teleport from wherever you are back to HQ, where you can then save. Maybe it's different for xbox360 than ps2

vidD'oh!
Didn't realize that was the PORTAL thing.
Stupid me not reading directions.
And of course this time- was much easier doing that stage..*chuckle*
As per your letter- have changed my team- kept storm,( spidey and ben) but changed wolvie to deadpool... and glad I did. Laughed when deadpool leveled up and said he was now better at whatever it is wolverine does.
Might try out Luke instead of Ben sometime.
Oh and got the xtreme unlocked, I realized that I just need TWO points instead of one--- not a biggie but glad I figured that out to save up.

re your lasst letter--all of Deadpool's costume look pretty much the same. And all of Surfers ARE the same (just different buyable upgrades). Wolvie, Spiderwoman and Storm have perhaps the best variety.
