no this isnt a scare story. its a headsup to some people to use multiple, frequent saves.
this game seems to have a habit of crashing when autosaving sometimes - during the 'preparing save' process. randomly - not the same place twice.
its dont it twice for me on my 250gb slim. once at a temple and another time in a cave.
didnt matter how long i had been playing (temple was about 1 hour. cave was a few hours)
as a result the autosave corrupts and you cant load it until its been overwwritten with a new, working autosave,
so please, for your own sanity dont rely entirely on the autosave feature. and save regularly in seperate, save slots.
