Dead space has them littered everywhere, so I never really felt like I'd been going a long time without one. Contrast that with ME, where I can save any time I want, but I'm never really reminded that it's a necessity. More than once, I died and had to restart from an autocheckpoint AGES back. The thing I learned by dying is to spam the save feature. I had more than 80 saves by the time I finished the game because sometimes I would save for basically no reason. I actually miss the save system where you could save in the MIDDLE of a fight (ie., Baldur's Gate II), and now that I play MMOs, I find the continuous save a nice bonus. (BTW, I'm with you on HL2.)
