Most devastating loss of a save file
- Thread starter Ando85
- Start date
A few years back, my Xbox 360 HDD failed.
What did I lose? Let's recap.
Over 150 hours of Mass Effect, with my main at level 58.
Well over 700 hours of Oblivion, with literally EVERYTHING done.
Crackdown campaign, gone.
Bye bye to Lost Planet's campaign data.
So long, Dead Rising saves.
Adios, Assassin's Creed.
Gone was the Chromehounds mechs, The Darkness' campaign, Forza 2 and my pimped garage and superb cars and artwork...
Everything.
Also, when I was a kid, my front door swung into my Gameboy. Pokémon Blue version, wiped in an instant. My level 98 Shiny Dragonite, level 100 Mewtwo, level 100 Blastoise, level 95 Articuno, Zapdos and a level 92 or 93 Moltres were some of the casualties.

I got everything, no rock was left unturned; no closet was left unopened; no puzzle was left undone; no weapon was left untouched; no monster was left alive.
Then, I was going to start a new game, when my PS1 suddenly decided it would be fun to corrupt all my save files.
Long-Story-Short: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I lost my save files for FF7-9 through a single corrupted memory card. I also lost my Parasite Eve file, and my Dino Crisis 2 file, which had everything unlocked. Feels bad, man.
I accidentally saved a new game of Ace Combat Zero over a fully completed on-all-difficulty-have-all-medals game.
Mine wasn't actually a save loss but it's just as bad, alright so I was playing Oblivion awhile back and when I get really immersed in a game I forget about the save feature, anyway I'm sneaking around with my Rogue with 95% Invisibility and I find the ultimate spell for him in a chest, a spell called The Reaper's Touch. It allowed me to kill things in one hit as long as I was undetected, so I went around exploring and killing everything I came across in one hit but what's this I hear? *Snap* What was that? Fuck... crushed by boulders... -.- I return to the chest to retrieve the spell but oh no... it's a different spell, I reload the save around 7 times and it's always a different spell, never again was it my lovely Reaper's Touch. =(
Yeah, a similar thing happened to one of my Blue saves like that; I was very unhappy. Its especially bad if you had really high level pokemon you obtained legitimately because then that's dozens of hours gone.Redlin5 said:
FIFA 2009 on the PSP. I raised Chester (0.5 out of 5 star team) from Division 1 to the Premiership using basically the original squad, I only signed 4 extra players. I had 3 games to go until I won the Premiership. I woke up on a Saturday morning, flicked my PSP on and went downstairs. I looked at the screen and saw that my saves had been bought up, and out of instinct I highlighted my save and clicked X
It turns out it was asking me what I wanted to delete, not to load
6 months of travel time gone in a second.

My first save file in Baldur's Gate II. My character was a lvl. 20 Fighter with nearly all of the enchanted swords in the game, and my entire team could mow through most common enemies with no sweat. I was in the Underdark when I had last saved the game. Unfortunately, after that the game decided it would be fun to corrupt all the files, so I had to uninstall and reinstall the game, losing my character forever. I have not been able to go back to that game for an extended amount of time since. :,(
Umm, there were no shiny Dragonites in Pokémon Blue... the feature was introduced in Gen 2 on the Gameboy Colour.Joshimodo said:
OT: For me it was (oddly) not pokémon (I enjoy playing them again, so that has never been a biggy) But; oblivion.
Literally every possible quest done. And suddenly gone.
Damn you XBox hard drive...
I had about two dozen legitmate level 90's on that game. I was upset enough that after it was gone forever, I didn't play Pokemon for about 3 months.Don said:
The oldest one I can remember is having my PC die and being unable to retrieve my save files for Deus Ex. I was close to finishing it (at least i think I was... I've never finished it since.)
More recently: Having grown tired of my sluggish PC, I reformatted as I do once or twice a year. I always back up everything automatically and I had hand checked my save files, personal work etc. (One of which is a new attempt at beating Deus Ex.) After it is up and running again I realize I had not backed up the Minecraft saves! FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU (stupid obscure appdata/roaming directory) So yeah, good bye to my massive fort with minecart metro and rollercoster... yeah....
EDIT:
heh... I thought of an older one. Although not strictly a file, anyone ever written down the save codes for old NES and GB games like Metroid and then forgotten where you put the paper?

Hybrid Heaven, way back one. The neighbour felt it would be funny to play around with the menu just to get me nervous. He erased my save file.
He ruined out to a mysoginistic and racist asshole, so it's ok to not liking on all accounts.
But at least I played better each time.

I restarted my campaign three times over this.Dejawesp said:
