The reason it pisses me off if because the save screen popped up after each stage the same way it did for each Maverick and with the former the game did indeed save all progress up to that point so it's sneaky as fuck to give you a new password save each time only for it to actually not be doing anything. Hell, even doing the Sigma stages sequentially without quitting was fine as well. Like I've said, the actual difficulty wasn't what I had a problem with. I promise you if you're that angry about losing progress in the first 3 sigma levels you're going to HATE fighting Sigma without rookie hunter mode on.And you'll hate him even more each and every game. Is it possible to turn it off once reaching Sigma? I fucking hate having to resort to that though, but tbh I really don't have the time to re-play super time consuming stages like those. Yeah, I forgot Rookie Hunter mode existed. It's not that we blindly accept it we just don't expect the developers to change a 25 year old game. You're sensationalizing because it's you're first playthrough and it took you longer but it'll be faster your second time through as you're not learning patterns. The entirety of that game can be beaten in under 2 hours and those Maverick stages you lost?.A grand total of 15-20 minutes of actual progress. I guess being a real man means replaying hours worth of a game for no reason and just blindly accepting it. Came back and I was a few minutes behind and had to redo the puzzle.Totally just did it again and realized the save feature bounces you to checkpoints not to the very specific spot you saved, it's pretty common in newer games. It's like when I was playing God of War last week trying to finish it off before the X collection came out and I saved the game and went to the grocery store. The save feature just remembers the last password you had. The game didn't lie - The game gave you a password. IвЂ™m a pussy because the game straight up lied when saying it saved my progress? I understand how frustrating beating all those Mavericks again can be but realistically the only difficult part of that entire lead up is the fucking spider.I hate that fucking spider. You're right - But the game also came out in 1993 and things were different back then - This was a time where many games didn't even have a save feature and you beat them all in one go. That's just absolutely horrible and lazy design on Capcom's part. Like I understand the frustration and it totally is annoying but I don't know if it's cursing off the developers who made the game 25 years ago annoying. This straight up is how it works and how it has always worked - So sorry to see you drop the game right now and miss out on 7 other great games because of a mistake that'll literally take you a half hour to get back through. Still think the system is garbage for tricking the player with the password save screen.

Mad I didnвЂ™t get the achievement but whatever. Used the Rookie Hunter mode to get back up to where I was and beat Sigma after turning it off. No fucking way am I going through that BS spider boss and every single Maverick all over again because of a beginner's trap like this. I don't give a fuck if that was how the SNES game was. If this is legitimitely the case I'm straight up dropping this game right now. What the actual fuck is this bullshit? Did I just screw something up, or can you actually not save and quit between Sigma stages? Do that, load the game back up and I'm all the way back at Sigma stage 1 with Vile respawned.

Got to the final boss, and after multiple attempts, I decided to save and exit the game just to change the dash to the shoulder buttons, since I felt I could dash/jump/shoot more fluidly that way.
