I've had the same ps memory card for the past 10 years....I had all of my old games saved on it. I put it into the ps2, and got a formatting message, I pressed the wrong damn button and now all of my shit has been erased. Gone forever and ever and ever. Thats hundreds of hours worth of hard work, all wiped out in less than 30 seconds and all I could do was sit there and watch it happen! I could fucking KILL someone!! (probably myself....) so this is what I want to know.....I've been using this mem card on my ps2 since it came out. I've never gotten any kind of format message for it before, why now? Not that it matters ANYMORE....dammit. So, I just wanted to bitch. There it is, the pissy shit.....
Happened to most of us at least once sadly, maybe not for all games, but I've lost all my FF7 data, Resident Evil 4, Devio May Cry and Guitar Hero 2 data before. It really sucks. On the plus side, (I know it's no that much of a plus) it gives you more reason to play em all again
but see, that's the real kicker....take my saved FF games as an example. on VII, the only disc that still works is the third one, so unless I find someone willing to loan me a copy or something, I'll never get to play that one again. And, I only own disc 4 of IX (the others were lost I guess when we were moving)...though I think it'll be easier to find another copy of that than it will be to find VII. This shit happens all the time to the ps2 memory cards....you just look at those things funny and data corrupts, and I don't know anyone who still owns the first one they bought. But man, this was my original ps card...I swear to god I nearly CRIED when I saw what I'd just done. Years worth of accumulated game play, hours spent running around, pissed off and agro trying to beat badass bosses, all those side quests and ultimate weapons...it's all gone. It makes me want to set my head on fire and jump off a cliff.
definitely a shitty feeling. i've had memory cards suddenly stop working before, and i've lost one very irreplaceable card, but video game life does go on...
This is (to me) like people selling their World of Warcraft accounts on ebay for rediculous amounts of money. Everyone is making video gaming their life, but it's not. If you really want the save to play a game that bad, then the game should be worth playing over again, shouldn't it?
Oh my god mudpuddle change that fuckin sig already its making me hungry EVERYTIME I look at it... I'm eating too much food cuz of you!
Yeah when you spend alot of time on a game then somethin fucks up and deletes your progress, that feeling sucks really really bad i know that feeling.
i know the feeling. like when you playing FF and you get into and forget to save for about 2 or 3 hours. get real far, beat all these bosses, gain levels, then all of a sudden, you get poisened and die by a little bitch monster......its a horible feeling
Who is 'everyone'? It just so happens that I have kids and a husband to deal with, so I'd hardly call gaming my life. But I do enjoy it, and this was a card I've had for several years, with many different games saved on it. And as much as I agree with some of them being worth playing again, apparently you missed the part where I wrote that my ff7 is fucked up, and I'm missing all but disc 4 of ff9...as well as any number of other games I no longer own and wouldn't even know where to find them again.... and Mr Morrison, I am a save FREAK. Every time I level up, every time I obtain a new weapon/armor/other, or right before a major boss (you usually know when they're coming) I save. There is not a chance in hell I would go 2 or 3 hours w/o saving my progress...no way.
