+Gemintronic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 So, I recently switched PS3s and discovered some games unnecessarily tie themselves to the user account on the unit. Apparently having a user called "User 1" on one machine and "User 1" on the other machine is different enough. So far I've noticed: Tales of Xilia - Will not accept save games from different account Guided Fate Paradox - Disables Achievements/Trophies Skyrim - Disables Achievements/Trophies AND forbids saving!! Anyone else notice other games that hobble save games this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Man that's annoying. There were a lot of original Xbox games that did this. You could transfer the saves to a memory card (the official MS one at that) but attempting to load them from the game on a different console resulted in an error. Using some data from the console and a special editor the saves could be transferred but it required exploitation to obtain that information from the consoles. If the console provides functionality to transfer saves all games should function properly with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah it's been this way for years on modern consoles and almost all publishers do it now. Some saves are also locked. Which means you cant transfer them to a USB stick. (Cloud only). The locked saves are usually for online type games like Dark Souls etc. but there are many single player locked saves too. I use this thing and I'm not ashamed of it: http://thegamegenie.com/ It lets me get some achievements and stuff I otherwise would never have the time to do. It doesn't work with locked saves though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'll have to check my saves later since I recently got a second ps3, but one I remember standing out as refusing to be copied to usb for transferring over was Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires. There were a couple others, but I can't remember them offhand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Updated the list to include Skyrim. This is a little more trollish than Tales of Xilia in that it allows the game to load but DISABLES saving.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
