Alright I've been having a series of inconsistent issues with my PS3 lately. It seemingly started with when I first installed Socom Confrontation soon after Christmas. I remember coming on this board constantly complaining about the bugginess and extreme unreliability of the game from teh fact that I could ALMOST never get a match to work, I would always get kicked out or something and I only ever got to see two or three of the game's several different maps. I later found out that the install data I had on my harddrive was corrupted, and that was causing the problem, not the game's server issues. So I re-installed and it's worked perfectly fine since.
I later tried to gameshare with somebody for ratchet and clank quest for booty. I downloaded the game then installed it, but when I tried to play it it came up with an error, and so I tried downloading it again, and from that point on whenever I tried to download it it would stop at an exact number at 98% the exact same way every time, no matter how many times I re-downloaded it, exactly the same. So I gave up.
A while after that, I downloaded Noby Noby Boy for my own account, and when I tried to start it up, the game would be loading at the introductory screen and then the PS3 would tell me to re-install the game because the data is corrupt. I did so, and the same problem occurred. I then restarted the PS3 and tried again, and it has worked perfectly since then.
Soon after, I gameshared with somebody for Flower. It had seemingly the exact same error as Noby Noby Boy but it wouldn't tell me my data was corrupt it would just freeze while loading at a black screen right before the first level loads. I restarted and re-installed. It worked...or so I thought. The first time I played the game, I didn't know what I was doing...I could see the grass, the hills, but I was apparently controlling a little speck that was extremely difficult to see, and I was seemingly trying to collect other specks that were also impossible to see in the grass...since I never played the game before I didn't know that this was not what the game was supposed to look like. I booted it up again later on and suddenly discovered the specks were supposed to be petals, since it was now working as it was supposed to. So I enjoyed being able to finally know what I was doing, but then the next level loaded and what the hell happened...suddenly the petals look like ruffles potato chips and look all scratchy and poorly rendered. I knew something was wrong with the save file. I completed the game this way, then deleted the game.
But the reason I'm finally trying to get some answers on this is because I picked up Killzone 2 yesterday, and now it keeps freezing at the exact same spot every time I try to progress in the game from my save...it happens right after you get in the buggy on the bridge, in the middle of a cut-scene, the game just stops moving, repeats the same sound effect, and sits that way forever and I have to shut off my system.
The disc has no scratches and has not been used for very long...I've thought about deleting my save files and game data and creating new ones but I wanna know if that will actually fix anything first...I wanna know if it could actually be something wrong with my system.
don't respond if it was tl;dr...
