    1. yes, you can resume replays or replay them in starcraft 2...

    2. Save is not a big feature, again, the replay resume feature is a novelty and most people are never going to use it.

    the last time you checked was about 2 years ago, so you're a bit slow broski

    If it's not a big feature then why does nearly every negative review mention it?

    That's actually quite impressive. To be honest, I wasn't impressed until I saw you could continue anywhere in the game. I bet SC2 doesn't have chronocam though.

    That's really just your opinion. It's very possible you're right, but I can't say either way. Noone really knows what will happen because it's not complete as of right this moment. Unlike you, I try not to state things as fact. :p

    I think that kind of mechanic is ridiculously cool. PA will probably get it one day, and many people will jump on it, but if you wait forever till all the people that want it are gone, of course noone will use it. You've literally assured it's lack of popularity.

    Actually, I haven't ever seen that, and go off information that friends of mine give me. They play it all the time, but neglected to mention this. Slow =/= haven't seen. Thanks for letting me know, though.

    They'll prolly give me some garbage saying I never asked. How was I supposed to know to ask about it if I didn't even know anything about it in the first place. That requires me to have previous knowledge of it in which case I don't NEED to ask about what it is because I'd already know. It's an unknown unknown.

    Quick, there's a $100 bill in that box next to you! Why didn't you ask about it? Oh, you mean the box that's next to the wall, under the bike, behind the stairs that block my vision of it? Huh. I guess I should have assumed there was money in that box and also that it was free to take too. Yeah, they're morons sometimes.


    Also, pause doesn't do anything other than what it says on the tin. If I exit PA, it does not continue the game, and I recieve no option to continue in a game I last exited. The only time I'll ever get it is if the game is already in motion with other players, and unless they PAUSE the game while I'm reconnecting, then it'll continue. That's not even close to the save feature, and has no relations or ties to how it even functions.

    As far as I know, if everyone leaves the game while it's paused, the game goes into idle countdown where everyone's coms blow up after being afk for a time. This is not save, this is continue. Two different things.

    Edit : Ugh, I can't English, and the forums can't non-link text.

    so do I - but I just pause my games and resume later, no reason to close the game, no reason to save.

    Occasionally I have work which requires me to not have a large drain on my computer's resources. And I fear that one night I will wake up with my computer towering over my bed, humming threateningly.

    It helps preserve the longevity of the computer, as well as cleans out RAM, and etc... there's nothing like a fresh reboot.

    Not everyone lives your lifestyle, and you should remember that.

    We have people of all situations and ages playing the game.

    People might want to play a bit in between doing something else, and they can't without a save feature or they have to leave their PC on.

    Please stop projecting yourself onto other people. This really depends on the individual and what is going on in their life.:)
