Your worst save file accident?

[FFP2]

Far Cry 2. Anyone that has played that game knows how fustrating/difficult it is. Bear this in mind.

I was running 3 save files:

1st- Near the beginning of the game in case I ever felt like replaying it without doing that awful tutorial again (which I did not feel like doing after this incident).

2nd- Right before the "point of no return" bit. I powered through the game and only did the story/gunshop missions. Was going to use this to 100% the game after I had done the story.

3rd- My normal save file that got saved at every savepoint.

Cue to the part right at the end of the game. The last chance you get to save your game.

I saved my no. 3 save in my no. 2 saveslot by accident.

Finished the game and swore to never buy another Ubisoft product again. I know that it's not their fault but I have never been so angry in my entire life.

After completing the main story and most of the side missions in Saint's Row 2, I created a new character for a co-op campaign with a friend. After playing for a couple hours, I decided to save our progress. I wasn't thinking about what I was doing, and out of habit I overwrote my primary save file. I actually felt despair.

Pokemon Blue. High level pokemon and a complete pokedex, lost to leaving the cartridge in my pants when they went through the wash >.<

Depends. A legitimate one? I accidentally saved over the save file on Skyrim I had spent months working on. I had this habit of keeping only two or three saves and deleting all of the quicksaves I don't need.

There was another one that I had thought was game-ending. In Pokemon Silver I saved after starting the Elite 4. Took me a while to realize I just needed to defeat them all to escape.
