Just a small reflection, guys.

So I was playing Bloodborne, trying to platinum it after beating the game once. I have my 25 hour save (it's probably more, but that's how it was counted in the stats), with almost all weapons, clothing items and extra, tons of Chalice Dungeons done, and there, enjoying the second ride in NG+, trying to aim for completionism.

Then blam, lights go out in my house (probably because I live in an extremely isolated rural town and when it starts rainning heavy hell's break loose), and thus, with it, the console too. I'm like "goddamit, not this crap again". PC is out as well. I start listening to music on my mobile, and lights come back.

I boot up my PS4 again only to be greeted by a 480p safe-system that checks in if everything is alright. Then, back to normal. I boot up Bloodborne again and...

"Saved data corrupted"

I waited in fear, only for the game to tell me if I wanted to "recreate the data". I pressed "yes", in the vain hope that it would bring back my save, but no sir, I have to reconfigure Brightness and Accept the Terms of online play, like this was the first time I'm playing the game.

I'm guessing lights went out at the same time the game chose to autosave, because that's how the game rolls. A damn shame, really. I'm glad I could beat the game, so it lessened the impact, but still...I'm pissed off...

Usually on PCs I like having 2 save files for games like Civ but most of the time I just use one main save file...

I had a bad experience with save file getting corrupted... I was playing Super Mario RPG on the Wii VC and I was trying to save when my iguana hit the off switch on the surge protector strip. I had to start over but I knew exactly what to do and it didn't take too long to get back to where I was.

I also had a really bad experience with a little cousin... I put 200+ hours into Phantasy Star Online on GC and my friends had characters with 50-100+ hours. My little cousin played the game while I was out with friends. I loaded up the game and all characters were deleted and replaced by his level one character with 5 mins played. I wanted to kick his ass so bad...

I would have thrown him out of the window.

Can't you delete the corrupt save game and download the last cloud backup?

you hadn't uploaded your save files to psn's cloud save had you Wright? could redownload those and continue on?

I never truly forgave him for it.  I had a bunch of bad ass hand me down weapons from my online days on all the characters and I was around 120+ lvl on my character.  I tried playing the game with friends again and we got to about 20-30 hours in before just giving up. 

Sucks when save files get corrupted or deleted.  I feel your pain.  Yes, autosaving can be dangerous with freak power outages or something else (like an iguana hitting the off switch on power strip). 

This happened to me years ago playing with my friend's Dreamcast. He had autosave turned on in Soul Calibur and you can guess the rest.

I don't think I had the data uploaded to the Cloud, guys. Unless the console does it automatically, I never use that thing.

I heard bloodborne was hard but I didn't know it was THAT hard!

Well that sucks, at least you beat the game, right?
