I uninstalled 1 game...later realizing it had somehow completely wiped my games folder :( Needless to say, It deleted over 100GBs of games and the game saves! I know I should back up my hard drives, just hadn't found a good deal on another 1TB drive...Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40488 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 17:56:21 +0000 Clupula 40488@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I had my old 60GB PS3 die in when I was close to the end of both Demon's Souls and Persona 4. Losing Persona 4, especially was bad, because I had never thought of just backing up my data on a USB stick until then. Now, even though I haven't had any problems with my slim for the few years I've had it, I still back up any saves that aren't locked after every session.</p> <p>As far as a few other things in this thread...</p> <p>I hated Eternal Sonata with a passion. The gameplay was kinda fun, but everything else was shit. The ending wasn't even as bad as some of the cutscenes in the middle, like when one character who is supposed to be dying pulls a Bugs Bunny and gives a thirteen minute monologue during her supposed-final moments, and then keeps getting back up to say more.</p> <p>Although at least it had an ending, very few people have ever beaten Battletoads, so very few know that the ending is one step away from, "Ha! You dumb fuck, look how much of your pre-teen years you've wasted to get to this! A winner is you!"</p> <p>If there ever was a company I can say I was a fanboy of, it would definitely have been Sega. Part of me still wishes that Sega would announce they were getting back into the hardware race, because the franchises they own are so much better than the franchises any other first party company own. Yakuza, Valkyria Chronicles, Shining Force, Bayonetta...all on one system? Fuck yeah, I'd buy that. Of course, with Sega's marketing department being a guy with a bag over his head and his fly open, they'd sell about three units and probably file for bankruptcy afterwards. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40485 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 16:51:54 +0000 JB 40485@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>PUG`s in online games 97% of the time &gt;&lt;</p> <p>Examples:</p> <p>Gears Of War 3 Horde mode, people disconnecting on wave 9,19,29,39, etc...</p> <p>WOW, players refusing to tank, heal, DPS, pulling the boss before grp is ready,or whatever BS because of some imagined slight of their nerd honour or something like that. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40481 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 14:39:22 +0000 Hunam 40481@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>The worse thing I ever had was due to Half-Life 1 and Sierra On-Line (which was a heinous pile of software you were forced to install to play the game back when it was first out).</p> <p>Basically, when uninstalling it what it did was remove everything in the folder it was installed in (in my case C:\Games) that was put there after it. Also, bear in mind this was early 2000's, before games started saving data to your user folder.</p> <p>What did I lose? Well, 75 hours of PST (basically infront of the last dungeon) 55 hours of BG2 (Had just left the underdark) 90 hours of Morrowind (I had beat the game, beat the first addon Tribunal and took down vivec, had 100 in all stats legitimately as you didn't have a cap on training) and probably a bunch of other installs. But mostly, it's that Morrowind save I miss the most.</p> <p>Never properly played any of the games again outside of PST, and even that I have only put like 10 hours in over the years. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40479 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 14:28:23 +0000 G1GAHURTZ 40479@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I sent one of the Treyarch guys a PM on the BO2 forums, and he (mostly) got all my stats back.</p> <p>I had played 75 hours, but I'm basically back where I was when I had played 69 hours, so at least I don't have to start again from scratch.</p> <p>Anyway,</p> <p>Duty calls... </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40375 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:03:35 +0000 freedoms_stain 40375@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Here's another Final Fantasy one. FFXIII, there's an achievement called "Treasure Hunter" you have to have owned every weapon and item in the game. It's an incredibly time consuming achievement which requires a lot of grinding thanks to the retarded crafting system in FFXIII.</p> <p>I had a check list, every time I crafted a weapon or item I meticulously checked the mother fucker off.</p> <p>Fuck knows how many hours of Platinum Ingot farm runs on Adamantoises later I thought I was down to my last weapon.</p> <p>Nothing happened.</p> <p>No Trophy. It was the most deflating thing I ever experienced in a singleplayer game. FFXIII will forever sit at 91% completion, because even though I have an old save I could make another attempt at it on, my research into this Trophy tells me that this one is glitchy enough for it to be really not worth the hours it would take. </p> <p>I had the multiplayer horror of booting up a game of BC2 back in the day and finding I only had rank 1 gear, but it was an EA-online server side issue that just happened semi-regularly. I even got good with the bag of shit AEK-971 Assault rifle you have to start with in BC2 (I find it amusing that this gun was one of the 1st "OP" guns in BF3 too). </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40374 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:03:20 +0000 Anonymous 40374@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Ahahahaha thats so funny Spider! thats what you get for playing on the Hackstation ;) </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40371 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:33:20 +0000 OrbitMonkey 40371@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I honestly think i would cry if anything like what has befell GIGA &amp; Spider happened to me...

Sorry to hear this.</p> <p>The closest I've gotten to this (Soul crushing loss of time and progress) was during Dark Souls.

Guess I was extra careful with saves always. Now with automatic updates of save files to cloud, save file troubles should be a thing of the past.<br /> There was something I needed to ask to more knowledgeable folks out here. A console attach rate has always increased in its lifespan. Is this valid for all consoles or are there some exceptions. I was looking at some stats so I needed to know.<br /> Thanks! </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40358 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 18:28:09 +0000 Gadzooks! 40358@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Don't know if I'd call it my worst gaming moment, but certainly my most dissapointing was my first PSN experience.</p> <p>I bought the PS3 for 2 games: Demons Souls and PAIN. PAIN turned out to be exactly the right name. To download it and install, then download and install the 7 massive patches took well over 3 hours. This was after spending an hour or so patching the OS of the new machine.</p> <p>I used up my yearly quota of sighs and dispairing head shakes that day, and pretty much set the tone for the whole of my PS3 ownership. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40356 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 16:32:04 +0000 G1GAHURTZ 40356@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Nah, man.</p> <p>It's a minimum 600, and now they've all gone...</p> <p>I had well over 1000, iirc. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40355 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 16:22:21 +0000 Anonymous 40355@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Poor Mr. G1GAHURTZ ;) I hope you recorded all those head shots at least and uploaded them to youtube. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7030#post-40354 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:35:40 +0000 dizzygear 40354@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@ freedoms_stain<br /> I failed at bolt #98.
