Most devastating loss of a save file
- Thread starter Ando85
- Start date
For reasons unknown to me, my Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 save game with A LOT OF FREAKIN' HOURS of gameplay on it disappeared right before my eyes.
As in, it was there one second, then it was gone. Still puzzled up to this day.
Never touched it again. >_<

AC cable for Gameboy Color breaks powerflow while saving a game file on Pokemon Yellow. All of my favorite Pokemon from 8 years of playing were lost. I had moved all compatible Pokemon off of my Crystal game in preperation for restarting that game.
I was devastated.

I played Super Smash Bros. Melee to 99% completion, took me well over a year, got all the characters, all the stages, all the unlockables, high scores in everything that kept score and out of the 290+ trophies in the game I was only missing about 4, 2 of which were from save files of games I hadn't yet played...
And then my sister rented the Sims for GC, which needed over 100 blocks of space on a GC memory card, but mine was a 256 that was nearly full, so she decided to delete nearly everything from every game I had ever played JUST SO SHE COULD PLAY THE SIMS ON GAMECUBE!
I didn't care about a lot of that, most of them were games I had rented once and never played again, but the SSBM save... that stung.

My little sister saves her copy of harvest moon over my almost complete copy of wind waker. Mind you, this was the second play through with the picto box.
I don't think I talked to her for a week...

Used to love making maps in the WC3 map editor, became pretty good at it too. Was this one map that I spent a couple of days on perfecting. I had loads of maps I was proud of but...
... I asked dad to help me transfer some files from my old PC to my new and delete the rest, forgot to tell him about the WC3 maps and he erases all of it

I lost my ME saves at one point. All of them. I think any of these games that have choices that carry through should offer cloud save services.
Probably when I sold my old 'cube and all of it's accessories. Over the course of 4 years me and my friends had conquered Mario Kart Double Dash, and all in lust for 1080p graphics I sold our acheivments...I have since rebought and re-crushed that game
Probably the time I accidentally deleted my Pokemon Colosseum save file while transferring all my save data to a larger capacity memory card. I had all the Shadow Pokemon purified on that save and purifying those little bastards is a PAIN!! I still haven't bothered to re-purify them all.
Disgaia 2, my brother and I worked on it for 200 hours...
And to make matters worse, we eventually found the lost memory card after an entire year... to make matters worse, rather than using my brain and copying the data, I waited until it got lost again. (And as a college student, I'm going back and forth between texas and Chicago, so I don't even know which house its in.)

The worst loss of a save file I experienced was when I was playing Ninja Gaiden (the first one on X-box). I was over half-way through, on level twelve or thirteen if I remember correctly, and had been keeping two near parallel save files when I accidentally double saved right before a mini-boss battle while I had very little health and no healing items, no talisman of rebirth and no currency to buy more healing items. I tired to beat that mini-boss at least ten times and on the two occasions that I did manage to pull it off, I got killed by a fucking bat soon after. The next day I deleted the entire file and traded the game in to Gamestop for credit.
