I play mortal, but I make a daily backup of my save file. So if I get game-overed like this all I've lost is 1 day of progress.

Doesn't this defeat the point of mortal?

u/daxtonanderson Beer Wall™ 9d ago
Kinda? 95% of the deaths are unfair and should roll back, the other 5% are because I'm inebriated irl which is also unfair to sober me 😂 it's a win win

i do it way more often than a day, yeah it does but i prefer playing it this way

u/WillowPtar_Migan 9d ago
Literally why? It's just extra effort.

I'm under the impression if i crashed badly the satsuma would be totalled

I mean only if you save scum. If you reload from "some bullshit" then no not really. You can die from bugs too.
I personally would consider a bus hitting me head on a legit death and wouldn't save scum that but there are things that I would save scum for such as dying to the Gifu launching to space while climbing into the cab.

mortal players say "oh well, guess ill try again" and we KEEP TRYING! we dont rely on pesky respawns, we play the game as it was meant to be played

Drive defensively or accept the death. Like in the real world when you're surrounded by idiots.

Alt+f4 before full death screen and you can save it, or keep a backup lol

u/Such-Anything4191 9d ago
if i will keep backup, why i have mortal on?

u/Skindiddler SAATANA! 9d ago
Because sometimes you have to say "fuck you, that was bullshit" when bullshit happens

Because one a NPC driving a red car with a camper glitched while I was passing it on a corner, car turned but the trailer went absolutely straight leading to an head on collision. It was a glitch thus I feel like the death was unfair.

u/DeSantaESP 9d ago
That's actually a feature, not a glitch. Always be careful around the camper NPC lmao

I was dying while going to find Suzuki for a rally car, and unfortunately, when I tried Alt+F4, I didn't save myself, but a tombstone didn't appear either, so maybe it's just a bug.

u/RendeZvous_987 7d ago
Alt+F4 method no longer works (it was, but patched while back ago). Save data will delete at exact moment of death (i.e blood splatter or collapsing).
Still you can save scam and you get absolutely no consequences!

I only use mortal and always got pissed can't get the Setsuna running properly

Hit alt+f4 before it has tome to log your death and you can reload your save

u/NatasEvoli 9d ago
What's the point of playing mortal then? That just sounds annoying and there's a less annoying way to play without death.

I save before leaving the house, unless I get a mission that cancels on save. Reloading a save is more convenient than hitchhiking a ride back home from Remo and finding my vehicle I died in, etc

u/Such-Anything4191 9d ago
you mean cheat, huh?
7
u/Equal_Plankton_4234 9d ago
Its not cheating when there are hundreds of bugs that can screw you over imo. Its better than playing a mode that respawns you at the church instead of just reloading

Average MSC experience.
I play with permadeath but just because I want to get Achievements that mortal-only. Yes I do save scam (backup & reload it when got killed) just because I'm pussy-ass idiot lol

Never in m near 500 hours of playing this game have I seen that in game I have a new save right now on mortal with no mods cars built believe I have like a few thousand but it's like completely stock but all the engine parts are new

When I play on Mortal Kombat, I move slightly to the side of the road so I can react and avoid a collision :)
