Arkham City dev investigating disappearing Xbox 360 saves

I won't be playing this game again until they patch the problem. 3 hours wasted! Just to have my save disappear...Bull****

I had completed the game on normal difficulty, collected all riddler trophies, done all side missions and was t the Solomon Grundy part on New Game Plus only to lose my save. I have now completed the game 3 times and have started new game plus again. Definitely got my moneys worth out of the game but I am still not happy about the loss of save!

"If you can solve my Riddles,you can have your precious little saves back,Batman. Can you defeat a mind such as mine?" I lost my save too,but I think it was my 360's fault. I was 30% through the game,and grabbed a riddler trophy, The systems chose that moment to freeze up,eradicating my data.I had to re-boot,and restart. I was very furious.If 360s costed only 5 dollars,I'd have thrown that one against the wall and watched it shatter with glee and got a new one. However,I vented my rage on Joker goons,and quickly felt better.Thank you Batman.

You know as gamers it is sad that whenever something bad happen to someone who owns another console people are quick to bash them. I have had a few arguments with my friends about which console is better although I really don't enjoy them, but when PSN got hacked I didn't start cheering and celebrating. That is something serious and you know I really don't want my friends or anyone getting robbed. This isn't as serious but it fing sucks like a paper cut when you log in time into a game and it gets erased. My brother plays ps2 and was working his way through God of War (yes better late than ever) and the dog tripped over the controller's cord and it busted, what's funny about that? Stop being fanboys and make people proud to be called a gamer. You can have your opinions about consoles and pcs but don't rejoice when stuff like this happens.

Ah maybe a riddle they can't even figure out...hahaha

If Bats has a console he probably has them all :lol:

Don't give a hell about it. Still waiting for the PC version.

This is the work of the Joker, boys...

Disappearing into the night :lol:

Our ____ are gone! And not just our ____, but the word ____ too! DAMNIT IT MUST BE THE NOBODIES!

@GarGx1 - I'm not quite sure about how many save files the 360 version has , although i assume there would be atleast 4 .

yup happened to me

Obviously their own saves...I was referring to the rumor that people were stealing the saves.

@spoonybard-hahs.... I wasn't talking about "New Game Plus." I was talking about the regular game. And even if you beat it, you cannot play on HARD difficulty under the NORMAL difficulty save slot. You can play NG+, which is a tougher version of what you just finished. It is NOT the same as hard difficulty, you need a seperate save slot for that. I have played through New Game Plus and Hard and they are not the same. Not to mention, I was explaining the save system to someone who has no idea how it works to give them perspective. Why even try to get technical when what I said is entirely accurate? NG+ is completely irrelevant to what I originally said.

I wonder if the "author" of this read my post on the AC forum here...

Psycho Mantis has teamed up with Joker.

@Vodoo Actually, that's not exactly how it works. You can play each difficulty on the same slot, carrying over unlocks, Riddler trophies/puzzles, and the like.

Can we please dispense with differentiating between PS3 and 360 or whatever fanboys. They are all fanboys. Whatever system they back doesn't change how ignorant and loathsome they are.

Dudes I own a 360 and PS3, just saying and I'm happy with both of them. Oh and I haven't experienced the disappearing game save

The mass ignorance from PS3 fanboys is truly astonishing.

@GarGx1... The saving system in Batman is retarded to say the least. They give you multiple save slots but those are for different games or playthroughs. So you only use the 1 save slot (say to play on normal difficulty) and the game keeps overwriting that 1 slot with auto saves. There's no way to manually save and there's no way to use a different save slot. Now if I had that game going on with normal difficulty, I could use another slot to play through on hard or easy. Each slot is totally unrelated to each other. So their dumb design in the save system is part of the problem here also. So just from a gameplay perspective there's no way to start from an earlier checkpoint. If you missed something there's no way to go back without starting over. It's like the Genesis days all over again ;)

WERE ARE THE OTHER SAVES GOING!

@DireBadger There was downloadable content for the SNES and earlier systems did feature full downloadable games...

My Arkham City saved game disappeared after I was like 6 hours in

Lot of Sony sack suckers posting here. Hey guys, they didn't mention anything about hacked networks, stolen account info., or Playstation Home outages.

@DireBadger I think that's a matter of opinion. The XBox introduced online gaming on consoles to the masses (or to people in general). It's not like Sega game up with the idea, I think online console gaming was a forgone conclusion as far back as '95 and certainly was when Goldeneye was released for the N64 over a year before the dreamcast came out. I found the Dreamcast's internet functionality as amazing as the Wii's 3rd party support. Was it there? Yes, was it significant? Not significant enough for me to be interested.

@GarGx1 Actually, you are both wrong. Dreamcast introduced online gaming on consoles. Sorry, but Microsoft lied to you.

Who gave Catwoman access to everyone's saved games!?

@GameBeaten which also indicates that you are playing the game with garbage graphics

So the fanboys show their face lol. @DrKill09 is the biggest fanboy EVAR!!!

I knew some of the story had to do with the joker, but stealing batman's saved files is a no-no.

I lost mine, thought it was just me.

That's xbox 360 for you, old dog lol.

i better check if my save is still there. total bomb

@ResponsibleGame I agree with what your saying but you need to correct your post. Xbox introduced online gaming 'for consoles'. Out of interest, does the console (Xbox360) version only have one save file, or is entire save database disappearing?

ooh i got dejavuu similar bugs got arkham asylum with blackscreen rooms and after that i needed restart whole story :D

Where is the world's greatest detective when you need him?

@GMG_Da_Punisher Has any one considered that maybe Bats prefers to be on the winning console that's why he disappearing? PS3 FTW! ********************************************************* The winning console is the Wii. lol!! The PS3 is still dead last. Get your facts straight. FTW? lol!! Indeed. lol!!

@GMG_Da_Punisher - Winning console ? My goodness!!!! I sometimes wish i could just become some sort of cyber-vigilante so that i could virtually assassinate all of the mindless fanboys out there such as yourself. So what if there are a few bugs ? I'm sure Rocksteady are looking into the issue right now and are probably close to coming up with a solution . It's people like you and others such as @mtait101 who make gaming an absolute displeasure at times . Don't you forget that online gaming was introduced by the original Xbox in addition to a number of other innovations . Yes , the Playstation 3 is unique in its own right , but so is the 360 . Face it , the Playstation 3 was'nt ( and isn't ) by any means dominant with regard to its predecessors . So , i suggest that you and your fanboy-friends stick to your forum , while we 360 owners stick to ours.

must be the work of the riddler!

How can a xbox 360 Videogame not be able to save. or losing your Batman game save information. The most basic game function, How did the devolpers not fore see this?

The underpants gnomes did it again. Stage 1 ; steal underpants and 360 game saves Stage 2 ; ______ Stage 3 ; Profit!!

i don't even have a 360, waitin for pc version tho, but is this a result of them rushing this out? seems like they do that a LOT lately. i've been mad at Nintendo for delays on games i want but when they come out theres no stupid flaws like this. u rushed ur game to the shelves and not it has disappearing textures and even SAVE FILES?!! that's unacceptable

Well, I guess I'll just keep waiting for the PC version...

Skyrim yesterday.. Batman today.... Sucks to be a 360 gamer that's for sure :? Until they know what the cause of the problem is I won't judge, but so much for being easier to program for....

Might it have to do with the disappearing savefile problem games with the GFWL DRM experienced on the PC. It was pretty notorious with Gears of War (I cannot ever finish the game unless it's in one sitting), and my Arkham Asylum save also disappeared (good thing I finished the game by then). I only play GFWL-enabled games using offline profiles now.

@punisher70 Sony has tighter quality controls than Microsoft when it comes to first party approval. May that plus developers being lacy with the testing... your guess is as good as mine.

it's the Riddler lol

What's going on with the 360 latley? Skyrim having rendering issues an now Batman having disappearing saves
