The Cloud Has To GO Bring Back USB

My only problem with "The Cloud" is having to rely on it in the future to make our consoles better, If I wanted to time share a console I'd rent it off someone. And the fact that there is no need in this day and age to store our data/lives online apart from
marketing by google/apple/Microsoft. Are these businesses unaware that mass storage is dirt cheap to the public?

This is true, but the problem comes about when you save offline to your hard drive, it won't be synchronized to your cloud save. Meaning, if load the game later on, when back online, the cloud save, not the hard drive save will
be loaded. Overwriting your hard drive save.

You can stop the cloud save from loading, but you need to be paying attention when it happens.

^^ Lol,in Witcher terms that ain't a lot is it? I can see how it's frustrating though but as vikingland 1 said,always save often in rpg's.

Rule #1 in any RPG save often , cloud or no cloud problem solved.

I think what the OP means is, your playing local campaign and the net goes down. But you dont realize that until much later when prompted to reconnect.

Now if you had advanced warning that the net, or XBL was going to go down, then perhaps setting console to. 'go offline' B4 playing would have sufficed. But those warnings NEVER come.

So the next best thing is for the system to not prompt for a reconnect, and allow the game in progress to continue unabaded.

Then when the net is back up, the cloud and local HDD saves could then auto-resynk and award any trophies\ingame saves earned without the gamer having to go into settings, offline and possibly starting his/her game over.
