What's the biggest mistake you've made in Gaming?

[BaSHee26]

I'm fairly certain you

1. Have 2 sets of those available to you

2. Just need to do a buttload of sidequests from the guild guys

3. Aren't required to have the armor at all

I have over 500+ hours clocked on skyrim and my original save sold the thieves guild armor after I got the nightingale set, and eventually far better sets. Then went back and still got it. 

 

Personally my biggest mistake is probably, trophy wise, loading any EA game and burn zombie burn. Game-wise, (well it wasn't really my own mistake, more an internet issue) I was on the very last days of a faction in TLOU-Multiplayer (the 82nd through 84th) and got disconnected three times in a row. Seeing as a dcon also counts as a day completion I was left with 100% of my population dying, which means I had to do all 84 matches over again for that side.. That was a pain in the ass.

Not too bad bro, you can do a faction in a couple of hours, as long as you have a few survivors and they aren't sick, and also your not on a 100% pop risk mission, you can just skip days. I did both factions within a 4-5 hr period, you can literally skip 4-5 days then play one.

Turning off my ps3 while its installing an update

 

 

 

and then all my saves got corrupted leaving me with a ton of games saves just gone made me leave gaming for a while

 

 

and a ton click mistakes, not saving in an rpg and dying while grinding

I almost gave up on FF13. It was actually a "meh" game when i played it and i took breaks in-between chapters and boss battles. It took me a huge ass while for me to defeat the 1st Dysley form and his form on Oerba. And the Proudclad. Oooooh the Proudclad. Yes.

 

So yeah... that would have been my biggest mistake ever if i gave up on it. Thank God i didn't.

Probably a bunch but two that come to mind

 

Skyrim,- level 46, completed the mages & warriors, was almost done with the thieves and assassins lines.  I started a new character for my daughter and saved over my game... after the autosaves had all reset to her character.

 

Infamous, my first playthrough was long before trophy hunting so I was just winging it, going for the good story stuff, didn't realize that doing an evil side quest locked you out of a good one and coudln't get every good upgrade because of it.  Played through on hard and evil after that for fun.  Deleted my saves because I didn't think I'd ever play it again.  Now I kinda want the plat but I'd have to do a full good playthrough and collect every blast shard.

Renting a playstation and Parasite EVE with a buddy and not realizing we hadn't rented a memory card. It was too late to go back to Blockbuster to rent one so we had to play the game without saving .

I've made ​​some mistakes, but it remains in the "secret of the gods"

Spending my birthday money on this...

 

 

 

I was a dumbass kid. 

 

 

Parker

 

Tsk, speak for yourself! I had fun with it while it lasted...my neck and eyes are much happier these days though

 

Mine is definately turning my PS3 into a paper weight when attempting to fix a YLOD...on my birthday!

 

Oh and back in college, allowing my boneheaded roommate to play my PS2 when I was gone. One time he was playing my Smackdown!: Shut Your Mouth (Best WWE game on a Sony console btw) and somehow managed to save his one create-a-player over the 10-15 that I spent weeks creating and integrating into the season mode!!! Then another time, he lent my GTA: Vice City out to one of his friends without asking me!

I accidentally played through Resident Evil: Survivor.

[coryn56]

playing call of duty online with my volume up too high #wentdeaf 

[Nitro]

How the hell can you skip days!? This would, I think, encourage me to go for The Last of Us Platinum..

[PLamb858]

I was playing COD Ghosts Extinction with a couple of random people in a public match. One of the guys had a mic but wasn't talking and was screwing up on all of the challenges and kept needing to be revived. Me and the other guys were knifing him to let him know he sucked and needed to work with us to complete challenges. About 10-15 mintues into the game a guy who was about 30 got on the mic and apologized that his 5 year old boy was playing for him. Then I hear the kid in the background say, "Dad, why were they all knifing me?" Dad - "Probably because you were messing up the challenges." Kid - "Could you please ask them not to knife me anymore." Not sure if I've ever felt so bad about myself.

[HellTSPRaiserz]

Thousands and thousands of misclicks. Nothing on a console can outweigh the days I've lost due to misclicks lol

[freddie1989]

Other than starting tonnes of shit game like Lost Planet 2, Duke Nukem etc it has to be the fact that I put the online to one side for the time being on Homefront, Dirt 2 and FEAR 2 then the bastards shut the servers down!!!!

 

Oh and also the arseholes taking the mask creator down on Army of Two!!!

Starting to care about trophies.

 

Mainly, feeling like getting the Platinum = got all my moneys worth before selling it.

[krissyluckyboyy]

Having about 80 hours of play time on PGA Tour 14 trying to get the career objectives and on my last tour skipping a few games thinking it wouldn't affect my objectives it did and rather then play another season I decided to delete my previous auto save and by accident deleted my entire career  

[pieroV_86]

buying and playing Bayonetta. very piece of shit.

[Novemberian]

In Skyrim, accidentally saving over my game, in which I had invested about 100h, just because my friend wanted to see the character customization.

Playing Batman: Arkham Asylum (or maybe it was Arkham City?) at 4 or 5am... I got to about 95% on my save file progress, but was so incredibly sleepy that I called it quits and exited out to the main menu... when I woke up, my save file was gone. Apparently I pushed the right combination of buttons in my sleep and inadvertently deleted it. (><)

Getting so close to plats and getting sick of the game and sell it to get another game i just need to tuck it away wasted a lot of money re getting games to get plats. Then i tend to forget the controls or where i was in the game and restart it all over

[ChaosDivider]

Definitely earning 136,000+ gamerscore on Xbox when I could have earned a lot of them as platinum trophies instead.

 

Also spending WAY too much money on Rock Band DLC, I haven't played any rythm games in about 2 years. So it is now a waste.

[Jurgen]

Spending $780 just to get FIFA 13 platinum (not including the price of the game).. One of the trophies you need is to find an inform player in a pack. I had to spend $780 on packs to finally get one. Honestly can't believe i did it :\

[Lovejinder_LJ]

1)Trying to fight all the enemies instead of taking them down in a predator encounter in my first batman(Batman Arkham Origins)
 
2)Infamous 1: There was a blast shard on the side of a big pole-like structure next to a building and there were two wires that lead to it. 
I began grinding the wires and jumping at the end hoping to reach the blast shard but it was just too high.
After trying so many times(almost drove me insane), i, out of frustration, jumped from the building next to it....
And made it to the blast shard   

                                                                                             

[Phlegeth]

Playing Baby Daisy online in Mario Kart 8.  Got bullied pretty hard.

 

But more seriously, I had clear data for Dragon Age 1 and 2 on my old roommates 360.  He's on the other side of the country now.  And I didn't grab my saves, but it doesn't matter cause I don't have a 360.  So I downloaded Dragon Age 1 for my PS3 and guess what Origin was giving away for free the next day?  At least this girl at work let me borrow her Ultimate Edition and I could get all the expansions.
