Gaming sob stories

Well i got two big ones.

When i tried to connect my ps2 for the first time to the internet my ps2 froze and i had to turn it off. When i turned it back on again i lost 300 hours from my FFX game, probably houndresa of hours on other games like PES, Here Comes The Pain etc.

I also lost 100 + hours on my Forza 3 save when i tried to move it to another device

What are yours?

The concept and overall plot was pretty saddening. The dialogue kind of ruined it because it was poorly written, but just the underlying theme is terribly depressing.

Basically it's about a old guy who lived a terrible life because he loved a women with a crippling mental disorder. He doesn't leave her because he needs to take care of her, and he does absolutely everything he can for her while putting his own happiness aside. Her condition worsens and she dies. Then when he's about to die two scientists change his memories so he thinks he lived a happy life.

Well I lost my Skyrim save with 200 hours on it... I didn't cry, but was kind of pissed when it happened.

I honestly have no idea. It was on 360, and one day when I was playing the Black Ops campaign through on Veteran I noticed my game through which I was almost through was completely gone. Didn't think much of it until when I went to play Skyrim a couple weeks later and my save was completely gone as well. Not sure what caused it, and it hasn't happened since.

Was back on the GameCube, I was transferring game data from one memory card to the other(note: I did do this several times before) and up out of nowhere it just deleted it and didnt transfer. All my progress on Pokemon XD was gone, it was quite depressing.

As far as I could tell, yep. Very strange. 

Was having a real thorough playthrough of Fallout 3, exploring everywhere, and completing everything when I had the worst glitch I've ever known in which the right analog stick locked in gameplay. Worked in menus and map, but sadly it autosaved when I went through a door, and never had a backup save that was close enough consider loading. I lost 60 hours of gameplay and now make sure I create multiple saves.

In Fallout 3, I was playing through the Pitt and I'm not exactly sure what happened but I remember I lost all my gear and I was pretty pissed.  

Over a decade ago, my sister destroyed the PS1 memory card I was using for Harvest Moon: Back To Nature. I had six months in total of play time on that game and my sister wasn't fond of the game, so she made sure that I couldn't play it again without restarting.Smokescreened84

Holy crap. Six months of playtime? Your sister must have been seriously pissed at you. And you must have been really pissed as well. 

I had done some weird things that glitched out my Sims 3 game and made me have to uninstall everything and then reinstall it once again, problem was though I couldn't find the disk. After searching for a few minutes I found it on the ground, underneath my computer, crushed and broken in two. I went several months before returning to a store and picking up a second copy and never letting the disc leave the compartment ever again. Either way it sucked for a while because I really enjoyed the Sims 3 and the expansion pack so to see it just die and all my previously made Simvilians just go with the uninstall and the crack made me rather pissed off at myself for letting the disc get cracked.

I had 100+ hours on disgaea 4......then my ps3 got the YLOD and I had to buy a new one :(

I don't have enough time to play all the games I want, in the depth I want because RL makes me have a job.

my PS3 died last august. the sad part is that my past backup was from about a year earlier.

Its funny because I was thinking to myself "I should make a current backup" about 3 days before it happened.

I dont miss the data for games that I finished, but there were a lot of games that I was in the middle of like WKC2, with that alone, I lost about 400 hours
