I know that all too well. I still remember the nightmare that Deus Ex was. One enemy, one save, one door, one save.
And since each savefile was ~10MB my game folder was like almost 3GB by the mission they arrest you and take all your weapons away.
Sadly, I can't remedy it no matter what, especially in FPSes.

When I played the max payne games I would quicksave constantly and restart whenever I took damage. "No, I can do that better"

Honestly, I livestream and its the only time I savestate so that flow doesn't let up. When I'm not I just say that I'm not manly enough if I keep savestating.

Not much of a solution I guess.

Oh God, Splinter Cell, don't remind me. I kept saving every 15s, I shit you not. And that ruins the whole point of the game. I still haven't even finished Pandora Tomorrow and I bought a box of first three games like 6 or so years ago.

I did it for Splinter Cell too.

Actually, quite a lot of those old Rainbow Six games too. They could get pretty hard.

Play a game with limited saves, or savepoints.
You'll eventually get used to it.
If you play on emulators, never touch the savestate button, just use the memory card, you'll forget the SS even exist later.

Quicksave is one of the reasons game today are so easy. Even tactical shooters like Rainbow Six and OFP are easymodo with lol quikcsave. Personally, a more punishing save system would make games more challenging. It's too tempting to even have the option.

I could not into Rainbow Six.
Even the training levels where they give you a plan, I try to follow the plan and my squad mates almost always lose at least one dude per firefight.

This always pissed me off. Or someone would fire a shot, and then the whole building would know we were there.

It was challenging but easily got annoying.

Play games with auto-save.
