I don't like the way it saves on next gen at all.
For one it has issues saving as is...
On Xbox 360 if I recall correctly, there was intervals you could choose from every 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes to choose from. Which was cool, it could save whenever one of those timers goes off.
But more importantly the only way to really save efficiently is to manually save whenever you get the chance.
The only way it "auto-saves" is when you die. Which you'd have to be a bit dense to not know that you could simply save manually, and in case you die, you could just exit the game, reload the game and be back to where you just did it.
Case in point is, last night I fell asleep while playing. My TV and my Xbox One both have settings to shut down after two hours of inactivity.
But the game doesn't. So I lost about two hours of work that I did and have to redo.
I do understand that technically it is my fault that it happened, but it would still be nice if there was some assistance to help us out whenever that sort of thing happens.
Me Too. The old save system just makes survival too easy as any mistakes could be reversed.
No offense, but I don't understand this reasoning. Single-player modes should be adjustable to personal preference. If it was too easy for you, then this mode is great, but why does it have to be an either/or? Why can't there be an option to select one's preferred mode? I personally agree with Junokaii. this new method is utterly pointless except as a penalty for dying, and so I just rely on manual saving.

No offense taken. I was replying to the post above me who prefers the new system too. That doesn't mean I object to having the old system as an option.

This exactly. I don't see why they can't just add back the 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and than a "continuous" mode as well. Make everyone happy. I lost EVERYTHING tonight because I turned around and ended up in lava that I didn't realize I was anywhere near. It "shouldn't" have happened but the water I was trying to get everywhere wasn't moving around for some reason, it was stopping against nothing, like it was hitting a blank wall. (I was mining obsidian). I had 2 full stacks of obsidian, 15 diamond, a diamond pick axe, a diamond sword, and a lot of iron, gold and coal, and 30 xp. Got back to where I was, but was only able to recover some of the coal and some cobblestone.
This game is supposed to be about customizing, so let us customize how we want to play.

Thoughts?
I'm the type of person who reverts save after a creeper explosion near something I've built, so I agree; next-gen auto-save sucks.
I get around it by having it disabled and using a timer on my phone to remind me to save every so often.
I do that for that as well, depending how it is, if it's usually somehting complex that... might not be able to be done again off the bat.
I disable it and save manually every time whenever.
I really blame all the people who kept complaining that console has to be like PC in order to be fun. No matter what the reason is.
Especially from those who already own it on PC but choose to play on console that day or soemthing.
I prefer how things are now, so seamless.
