Hey fellow duders, I'm sorry but I just need to vent for a bit and maybe you guys might actually even be able to help me too though Im afraid I'll just have to face the reality of it all.....
SO, here we go.
I was just casually browsing the psn store on my ps4 I've had since launch when suddenly the psn store stopped responding.
As a matter of fact EVERYTHING about the ps4 stopped responding, even the power button didn't work anymore (pressing it would make the ps4 go *beepbeepbeep* and nothing else) and none of my controllers would connect. After waiting for half an hour I saw no other option but to pull the plug. I wasnt even downloading anything, I thought to myself, so no need to worry about corrupting any data...well boy was I WRONG.Since turning it back on its stuck in a loop of going into checking system data. I've searched the internet and now I think I know what sadly must be done.........
As a side rant: My ps4 has NEVER had any trouble with actually playing games but that OS has been running like hot garbage for me ever since ive started to own kind of a lot of games...havent been able to check the facebooky shit under my games or the whats new section for at least a year now, shit just loads indefinitely. I also randomly get kicked back to the ps4 "timeline" when browsing the internet or using the psn store a lot, its just terrible(not AS bad as it was for me on the ps3 though).
Not only can I spent the next couple of days redownloading my 2 terabyte of shit back at 500kb/1mb a second but I'll also lose most of my damn saves. I've stopped uploading my saves to the cloud when it was full after using my ps4 for about a year and so I've just lost a ton of save file from at least the last few years, first that comes to mind is I was almost done with gravity rush, uncharted 4, mirrors edge, 80 hours in and 2 bosses left on dark souls 2, 40 hours into the witcher 3 and fallout 4, bye bye newgame plus dark souls 3 , just UGH. I always go through a billion games at a time real slow and that is fine most of the time but damn does it suck extra hard to lose your saves then.
Anyway theres no other options than re-initializing the whole damn thing though right? I've tried updating through the internet and rebuilding the database in safe mode and that just boots me right back to the checking system storage bullshit. Im just hovering over that initialize button now pondering if there's not any other way...
Well, goodbye PT, (unless someone here has a brilliant idea) I will miss the historic and monetary value you've added to my ps4.... And goodbye to the long games I wont return to in at least a loooooong while due to having to start all over again.
