This game just deleted ALL my saves!

[lettmon]

I was on the last mission, can you believe it? I have been gaming for 20+ years and never seen sh*t like this. But I'm not even angry because I saw from the start how buggy it was, I just didn't expect that it would decide to delete ALL my saves and when I was THAT close to completing it. Sony! Remove this unfinished software from PSN!

Maybe you played in Hardcore Mode, like Permadeath in No Mans Sky.

As in all your saves across every game? Daaaaamn, that’s some impressively janky shit!

It's never too late to learn how to backup your save files.

Then just download your Save Files from the PS Plus Cloud or from an USB Stick and everything will be fine.

Not everybody has PS Plus. I didn’t prior to losing my 80+ hour Two Point Hospital save last year

A USB thumbdrive works just as well, and they're very inexpensive.

Agreed. But that still relies on having the foresight to think that a game might decide to wipe everything on your system

Zero foresight required. As end-users, we're responsible for all of that. Forwarding the blame to someone else is infantile.

Controversial opinion, I know, but I believe that blaming a game for randomly deleting all your saves is actually pretty reasonable.

As a gamer i dont think im bound by Murphys law.

 

I mean he possibly should of backed up his data because Commandos 2 is well known to be a janky crappy port.

 

But to cast the net over all "end users" for anything like that is a tad much. Or do you mean simply in this instance? 

 

If a game doesnt work as intended or advertised surely thats not on the user, no?

I agree that it's indeed a shitty situation. At what point are we not responsible for backing up our save files?

Any time some random event like this takes place, you can be very sure that 'son of conservative dad' will be out there to tell you that it was all your fault and if you'd only just.......then........ when all you wanted to do was vent about a sucky occurrence!

Not really a deleted saved file but prior to the mission "Das Boot" I cant finish the quest since one of my soldiers just cant exit the truck. Effin Nice.
