Within the past few months I've had a couple of negative experiences with both automatic and manual save functions. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. For instance, I feel abruptly shutting off a game and corrupting a save file, though rare, is far worse than the much more common problem of forgetting to save and losing possibly significant progress.
If I remember correctly, some games have both of those systems, or a hybrid of those systems, and there have definitely been a couple of iterations of save systems throughout the years. If you had to choose between the two general save types, which one would you pick? Have you ever been playing a video game and lost a lot of work?
