Popular Post Phlegeth Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 I've been finding myself doing this a lot more lately. I blame Dark Souls where you have to do it. But it's starting to bleed out into other games. Like I've been not quitting the game until I'm at the title screen on almost all games. So yea, how often do you quit to the main menu? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kanzenchaos Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 You mean only closing a game when it's in the main menu? I do it all the time, just in case the game autosaves to prevent my savefile from being corrupted. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I quit after I know I saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrakeHellsing Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 I like to go back to the menu, as in save first, then menu and once the menu's actually there, then I'll exit the game. It just makes me feel a little more safer about things in terms of games. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI_BROTHERS Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Everytime i get off so I know it saves 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidson2004 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Every time I’m finished with whatever I’m playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantochi Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Now that im thinking about it, i only do it while playing from software games or any other game that "punishes" you when you close it right away, but every other game i just hit close application Edited July 8, 2020 by Phantochi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find it oddly satisfying to do it this way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XchocomanX Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Always fun to go to the main menu when this one has a song like 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Copanele Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 Before Skyrim : Alt+F4 , PS button close app, go wild, 2 moments away from pulling the goddamn cable from the electric socket. After Skyrim corrupted save files and losing a ton of progress (because I don't back up regularly) : OPTIONS -> MAIN MENU -> CLOSE THE APP AND KISS THE CONSOLE ON THE PLASTIC FOREHEAD FOR BEING A GOOD PIECE OF ELECTRONICS! Yeah I always quit to the main menu Thanks Todd Howard! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edunstar84 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Almost never. I just hit the Options button when I know the game's saved or after I manual save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveInHell Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I always go to the menu before closing the application, feels safer that way. And I go to the menu quite a lot in Tekken cause I hate losing on that game, I suck. 3 hours ago, DrakeHellsing said: I like to go back to the menu, as in save first, then menu and once the menu's actually there, then I'll exit the game.

A_Tennis_Giraffe Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Every. Single. Time. Well...except the times I don't WANT something to save - then I just dashboard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZoneHunter Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 More often than not these days, i don't even bother with turning off the game. I'll just put the ps4 into rest mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Can't say I've ever really thought of it the way some comments have said. I'll ALWAYS save manually before quitting, but I'll always wait until I see the save icon disappear, then just dashboard it. I haven't had any situations yet while doing this, but it's an eerily-enticing cautionary tale, to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenpai Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I think the only time I don't quit to main menu is when it forces you to watch the credits and the opening animation all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Just press the ps button and hit “close app” then power off. Does quitting to menu reduce the chance of save corruption or something? I never want another Morrowind situation!

starcrunch061 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Disgaea requires so many quits to main menu that I’ve probably done it thousands of time just from those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArcadeKid Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 And here I was thinking I was the only one who did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth4424 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 If i can't turn off the game's auto-save feature, i always quit to main menu. Otherwise, i just close app after manual saving. I'm not a fan of auto-save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rias Gremory Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Oh yeah I pretty much quit back to the main menu very often whenever I on high energy drink until it wears me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
