#I even have PS+ and RDR2 has an auto backup feature that wasn't checked apparently

[salty-geralty]

Soooooooooooooooooooo....

It’s been about two weeks since it happened, but my PS4 basically had a power issue that caused it to do a full factory reset on its own. I lost pretty much everything that I had on there because nothing was backed up.

Long story short, the majority of the save files I had on there were ones that I really didn’t need to keep around. I had my super long FFX, FFXV, TW3 and KH1.5/2.5 remix files on there from previous playthroughs, and wasn’t really planning on doing much with those anyway because I had finished everything I wanted to with them except for like most of the FFX trophies and the FFXV DLCs which didn’t need much from my original save files to begin with. What really killed me was that I lost ALL of my saved data and latest screencaps and videos that I still had on there from RDR2.

Good news: the RDR2 story mode trophies that I had been focusing on before jumping back online are all saved to my PSN profile, so I didn’t lose any of the merit of getting those done.

Absolute worst part of all of this: I. was. 68. fucking. gold. medal. missions. in. on. the. 70. gold. medal. story. mode. mission. trophy.

68/70 for the Gold Rush trophy. S I X T Y. E I G H T. O U T. O F. S E V E N T Y.

Meaning, now that my original save data is gone (the 536 hours of save data where I had all of my fave guns/equipment, all of the trapper sets because I fucking could, all of everything my little heart could want), I’m going to have to replay the entire game to even begin trying for gold on those missions. Again.

Moral of the story kids, back your shit up.
