Of all the games that shouldn't have it, this is the one.
You could spend years collecting cars, which is what the game is all about after all, just to have it wiped out by a stupid power outage or worse YLOD.
No excuse Sony, get rid of it.
+1000 i have lost enough gameplay hours due to ylod with my original 60gb and since then i have never touched a game with copy protection ever again, it is such a shame that a game like this has locked save files i was looking forward to this game for such a long time but what can you do?
bayonetta was another game that had copy protection i had nearly everything unlocked my 80gb was playing up and the save file went with it, it's very heart breaking when it happens to you it's something that other people will never understand, i emailed platinum games directly about the issue but they were not interested so i sold the game and that was that, any other game in the future that locks save game files will be sold too, no excuse.
other gamesaves that i have lost to due to copy protection:
resident evil 5 (before the patch) professional playthrough TWICE.
heavy rain 100% complete
bayonetta
need for speed undercover
need for speed carbon
namco museum PSN game
Final Fight: Double Impact PSN game
mortal kombat 2 PSN game
and many more that i can't remember, this copy protection crap is way too much.
and NO transferring your hard drive to another console will not restore the copy protected save file.
and NO using the save game backup utility will not backup your copy protected save file data, it can only be restored on the same ps3 you made the backup data on, pretty useless.
yes you can use the transfer utility but how many people do you know have 2 ps3s to actually make any use of it? sony have not made backing up your copy protected save data easy at all and it's not fair on us, you say that people go and download save data to get to unlock everything how are they going to do that if any save file that people download only works on the user who created the save file in the first place, don't make assumptions that you don't know about.
in the end of this all the gamers who pay these game devs their wages are the ones who suffer the most, why should i give them my hard earned money if they won't let me backup my save files? i don't want to give them my money they don't deserve it.
i will be linking this topic to other forums i go to just to make people see it and i suggest anyone who is against copy protection to do the same.
