You know what pisses me off? Having spent hours, months and sometimes even years, on a game and in the end, losing all of that time because the save file goes bye-bye. Now I know this should not piss me off because this happened so many times to me during the SNES days with all those glorious RPGs of yesteryear, but this one still caught me... the dirty son of bitch.
So yesterday I was playing through the Horde (Gears of War 2) with my girlfriend and we were killing shit like normal. We went a few games, then we shut it off and went out a while. Now later that evening, we fire the game up again and I log in.
Now my favorite character to play is a guy named Tai (I call him the Crazy Polynesian Man), because this guy has some crazy shit to say. Anyway, we get to the Horde and I noticed something was missing: No Crazy Polynesian Man.
So after trying to load up the data a few times, I get the idea to go check the hard drive to see what was going on. Well... apparently the data under my gamertag was wiped and the only thing left was a save from back in November (when we got the game).
I kept all of the achivments, though the game does not recognize me having done any of them now. What pisses me off was my kill count (minor cheese I know) and match count were both reset. On top of that, it says I never even played through the entire campaign (which we finished).
Do I want to replay through the game again? Eh, no... not really. I was glad to get through it the last time and I was more then happy to never have to go through that again. So the idea of having to, just doesn't really appeal to me at this point. Perhaps in a few months, once the anger subsides and I lose the urge to either toss the whole thing in a anger little kid fit or I give in and trade in the whole mess and be done with it.
Yes, I tend to be a little overly impulsive when I get irritated/mad.
I'm just glad my Fable 2 game save was not lost or else that would easily be a cause for war...
