probably had his one save :(. he didn't prepare for what would possibly happen.
or the second scenario, how his friend managed to save on all 6 save spots.

He probably did save over all 6. It autosaves every 15 minutes I think and if he did a manual save on top of 90 minutes of playing, gg

I mean he started a new game over my profile. When did they have 6 slots open? The only saves I can get access to are the ones from his game he started yesterday. He got past the tutorial and got to Kakariko and then we started playing Smash. I thought nothing of it when I was watching him play, then I decided to boot up my own game and, well, yeah it's gone.

The game doesn't exactly tell you how the save system works; he likely didn't know that he'd lose his data.

If you're playing on the Switch, make a friend account and make them play through that. It basically creates a whole new instance of the game that doesn't interfere with yours, aka basically 0 chance of ever getting your shit overwritten

Tc should take some resposibility. You can just make him an account.

I dont share systems or games with saves if theyre on the game itself so.

I didnt see him start a new game. My roommates and another friend have their own profiles. They have their own BotW saves and I watch them do their thing at times. So I woke up and saw him playing it and I didnt think anything about it overwriting my save. But I looked at the time stamps when I tried to log in my profile, I had no idea what had transpired when I was watching him play. I didnt just sit there and go "yeah man write over my shit".

It's all good though. Just gotta start again and I have a much better feel for the game now at the start. Still gonna take serious time to get back to where I was at, but I can get there faster now probably. I'm still mad inside, mostly for all the hours spent gone, but I can't let it consume me over a damn game.

Well you're certainly handling it better than I would. Good for you. ^_^

It's okay TC. You can just use a save editor and manually set the hours played to 80.

I lost a Fable 2 save with like 200 hours once because I rage quit out of the colliseum and it corrupted the file. Simultaneously angry with myself and like "well, it's your own fault".

And a friend of mine had a Final Fantasy X save that he had maxed out every single node of the Sphere Grid for every single character, without using cheats. His five year old daughter overwrote it with a Barbie save.

i remember playing Rome Total War (the original) and i had almost a world conquest done, i think it was with Gaul.

then one day, i see that my save has turned into a crappy Carthage save.
my brother was playing Carthage.
he denied it being his fault.

so i took like 3-4 of his game discs and broke them.
i don't think he's played Dynasty Warriors since that day.
