Realizing someone has saved over my game file.

You shouldn't have done that.

My friend had an abusive older brother who would beat the living fuck out of him and stab him with knives when he caught him playing his ps2. One day I went over to his house when his brother was at work and we played final fantasy 12. Later in he day I went to the bathroom and when I came back I saw my friend crying and he told me that he saved over his brothers 100+ hour save. I ran home and didnt see my friend ever again.

This was a real concern for me when my mother would only let me rent N64 games and I wanted to get through them. Rent it a week later to see someone has started over on your slot... the worst.

What's worse is when you accidentally save over your own file, because you have no one to blame.

thejameffect · 2012-09-13T15:37:14+00:00

Just play the song of time backwards, or something

Net_Bastard · 2012-09-13T17:56:46+00:00

I did this to my brother once. I even named the file the same thing. Sorry Matt.

You know, they really ought to give you the option to password protect your saves. "Do you want to save over this file? Please enter the 4 digit verification code."

Earlier this year, my 24 year old brother saved over my Pokemon Diamond and Soul Silver files. I've caught hundreds of shinies on diamond, including legendaries and even hatched a shiny dratini. I was so distraught I didn't pick up any of my Pokemon games for months, especially because my prized shiny Dragonite, the only one special to me, was on my Silver team. It wasn't until last week when I finally picked up my platinum version that I realized I had transferred my entire collection, save a pinsir, onto said platinum. It was magical.

I haven't forgiven my brother.

BEN.

You have no idea how much this guy used to scare me when I was younger. I always had to get someone else to skip through the text just so I didn't have to watch this guy get angry.

White_Devil_x2 · 2012-09-13T20:22:39+00:00

When Skyrim first came out I made an argonian assassin named Blood Scales, about a day later he was lvl 33 I had just maxed out my sneak tree.... then my roomie saved over him with his lvl 10 mage. It was a seriously gut wrenching feeling the only saving grace was his expression of fear and guilt. R.I.P Blood Scales

When I was about 10 or 11, my younger sister somehow deleted my Super Mario World save game. At 10 years old, I was distraught. Needless to say, she almost died that day.

tHEkCAJ · 2012-09-13T18:22:22+00:00

my little brother deleted my first complete kingdom hearts file and i almost put him through the tv.

Your_Ego · 2012-09-13T11:53:06-07:00

I used to cry when someone saved over my file :'(

thatsamesong · 2012-09-13T13:07:28-07:00

I recently saved over my best friend's Fallout 3 file on accident. I've never felt so horrible.

MoNkEyxJOSHH · 2012-09-13T20:58:52+00:00

Reminds me of the time someone saved over my friend's game file on some PS3 game. They tried to convince me that saving over games worked differently on PS3, as I watched them delete the almost finished save. Tried to stop them, no luck.

roeburrtoe · 2012-09-13T14:10:07-07:00

Always save on the last file.

ieGod · 2012-09-13T21:55:10+00:00

On a related note, why does Nintendo still use the limited save slot approach to modern games. We're not using cartridges with limited memory footprint here...

nytemare99 · 2012-09-13T22:22:21+00:00

i remember majoras mask with the mario mask on his pack it was hilarious

ReleeSquirrel · 2012-09-13T22:44:49+00:00

Saving over someone else's game is the hardest part of playing used games.

vitorizzo · 2012-09-13T23:37:53+00:00

that was me when i lost my phantom hourglass saved game file. i dont play zelda games at all (the one i played before that was the minish cap i think) but i really got into that game. i think the part i was up to was i had to find ingredients to make a sword or the master sword i dont remember....probably wasnt too far into the game...

rabbithands · 2012-09-14T00:08:00+00:00

My younger brother was playing Link to the Past on our SNES, and was on like, the 8th temple or something. I barely touched the console with my foot by mistake, and the console, being as old as it was, turned off. When my brother turned it back on, all of the saved games were gone. Needless to say, he was pissed.

InsaneDrunkenAngel · 2012-09-14T00:14:16+00:00

That happened to me last night on skyrim. It's even worse when you do it to yourself, cause then you have no one to blame.

zx2654 · 2012-09-14T00:15:56+00:00

That is a huge under reaction

MewtwoStruckBack · 2012-09-14T00:23:44+00:00

I am honestly wondering how this is not legally a civil offense with set penalties paid to the wronged party based on the length (in hours) of the save that was overwritten, deleted, etc.

imdrunkontea · 2012-09-14T00:40:03+00:00

My friend saved over my save file in Rogue Squadron on the N64. I had just about all the medals, missions, and vehicles unlocked.

Worst part was that the other two save slots were still open.

He is not my friend anymore.

sonicnirvana1991 · 2012-09-13T17:42:34-07:00

i did that to my sister once by an accident.... she tryed to kill me -.-

ThatGuyRememberMe · 2012-09-14T00:50:24+00:00

If it's a pc game, you can set the save back to a previous version.

Anhur55 · 2012-09-14T00:56:15+00:00

This shit happened to me and my best friend when we were in 5th grade, to this very game.

We had just beaten the water temple and had been working on the game for probably 4 or 5 months (again, 5th grade and we would only play it when he came over). One day my best friend and I are playing and we go to get a snack to come back and discover that our other friend had deleted our save file because he "wanted to see the beginning" Worst part is that the other save slot was open...

Still haven't beaten that fucking game.

ZeppoLeClown · 2012-09-14T01:47:28+00:00

On majora's mask? you should be grateful, such a great game.

BKDX · 2012-09-14T02:29:50+00:00

Also applies when you get really bad brain-freeze.

beyondtheforeigner · 2012-09-14T02:47:13+00:00

Dude, I recently saved over the book keeping file for one of the small companies I work with. That picture was my pose for like an hour while slowly realizing I'll basically just have to redo it all free of charge :)

Kutharos · 2012-09-14T03:13:46+00:00

I had that with San Andreas. I was in the second city, right around the nerd quest line with the remote control plane( Hated that one, and never could beat it) That was a solid 40 or so of work, after exploring half of the state and building up an ton of cars and costumes of CJ. My buddy borrowed my game and card, and found my game to be saved over, and my work gone.

I am not on speaking terms with that guy, for this and other reasons.

ScreamingAloudInside · 2012-09-14T05:26:54+00:00

My friend had some weird ass third party PS2 memory card that required sticking some minidisc into the console to use it. Somehow I wiped it by accident. All his SSX, all his Timesplitters, all his GTAIII, all his GTA VC, all his Dead or Alive 2 and many other game saves, all gone.

LogicalyImpaired · 2012-09-14T07:11:33+00:00

My gf occasionally likes to play the same game as me, and is not as, save tech savvy as some. I've told her, if I ever lose a save, that is grounds for separation. 3 years later...I have never lost a save, yet.

JarekBloodDragon · 2012-09-14T07:24:58+00:00

"I'm not listening I'm not listening"

aggrazel · 2012-09-13T19:49:44+00:00

I know how he feels ...

nommas · 2012-09-13T12:21:56-07:00

As a younger brother that on multiple occasions accidentally deleted my older brothers save files, I apologize. I honestly didn't know I was saving over things and when I found out, man it was horrible. Having to break the news to my brother that I deleted his 99% complete Toy Story Racing save was scary D:

MrGelowe · 2012-09-14T03:57:54+00:00

You turn into a green pixilated goblin girl? Cool!!!

The_Director · 2012-09-13T19:19:49+00:00
