Metal God and Save Game Issues

[Afro_Gear]

So I followed the guides that are readily available for this game and they were not accurate. First off, you do not need the Animal/creature concept art for the 100%. You do, however need every purchasable unlock in the metal forge and not just the vehicle ones. Just wanted to clear this up for anyone curious. Best of luck to you! My video for proof: 

 

And for what it's worth: I reloaded my 100% save file after quitting the game entirely and was put back in game with ZERO problems.

I can confirm that I've had no issues with the savegame. I've quit and reloaded the game after 100% and it went without any issues.
Now, I've made sure to wait until the "now saving" icon disappeared before I did something during my playthrough, but I feel that the glitch issue is indeed overblown.

 

For sure, take precautions and make a backup at 75%, but don't stress about it.

I did the encounter the game save corruption immediately after I quit because my game froze. There are guides on how to prevent it, but still read up on it before starting it.

This is one of the most ferociously terrifying trophies in my backlog.

@dj_helyx It's really easy. 15 hrs in the story to 100%. Even if you save the final 30 percent or so for one sitting it's only a few hours of stuff. This game is honestly a 3/10 Platinum IMO and a 9/10 game. Give it a go!

I honestly loved the game (even the multiplayer), but the thing is, I'm a bitch. I'll use this as a footnote when I revisit the game.

What's your concern? @dj_helyx You've done the hard part.

Getting near the end and crashing/not being able to load my save. In the event I circumvent this via cloud backup, the marathon session is off-putting. Games complete themselves much slower these days.

The glitch is real. It was awesome. I'm still trying to motivate myself to do it all over again. Fortunately, it's a good game, so I'll eventually get it done.

I was really lucky based on what I had left. My heart sunk when the game crashed. Plus you can get stuck in the map and be forced to quit. I am like you man, I was really worried about it, but I didn’t want my list to be defined by my fear. I wanted it to be based on facing fears and fun of course. It feels so much better because it does make you feel uncomfortable.

I may have just discovered a fix for the save file glitch, or I may have just been blessed by the heavens. Who Knows? My PS3 froze at 89%. I load back up and can't get back into the campaign. My backup turns out to be corrupted too. Here's the thing: I was playing on version 1.00 . I backed up this corrupted save onto another local user on the PS3 then deleted it on the main user. I upgraded to version 1.02 and also installed DLC 2 (the trophy DLC). I then retrieved the save file from the other user and copied it back to my main user. I loaded up again and now it let me back in. I nearly fainted. 

 

If you want to try and recreate this as a potential rescue plan, do the following:
 

• Play on version 1.00
• Don't have the DLC installed

Then should you get locked out, install the DLC and upgrade to 1.02. Maybe it'll work for you too. I haven't seen this posted anywhere else so thought i'd share it with everyone since if it saves at least 1 other person from having to restart, it will have been worth posting. As I say, maybe I just got stupidly lucky, but maybe (and indeed hopefully) it's a reliable fix.
