 So I came across this article that frankly scared the crap out of me:

https://help.ea.com/...ffect-3-on-x360 

It essentially says that ME3 doesn't support cloud saves for Xbox.  In order to use your saves, you have to transfer the cloud saves back to the ORIGINAL hard drive that the game was saved on.  If you don't have the original HDD, you're out of luck.

My question is: what about those of us who ONLY played on cloud saves, and never saved the game to a HDD?  I recently played through ME2 earlier in February, and saved everything to the cloud.  As far as I know, it never touched my hard drive.

I'm able to move my saved character from the cloud to my hard drive, but will the game recognize that my hard drive is the "original" hard drive?  Or am I out of luck?

I find it so hard to believe that the ME2 importer worked fine for cloud saves, yet the ME3 one doesn't.  Quite embarassing for BioWare and EA.

Since ME 2 keeps your save files couldn't you just start up ME 2, load your save file, the save it to the current console?

Yeah, but the problem is this whole "original" hard drive thing. The console I have now is the original one I played ME2 on, but I never saved the games to its HDD - everything went right on the cloud. I'm hoping that everything will be fine, but I can't believe that ME3 doesn't support cloud saves.

This needs to be clarified quickly because my old Xbox died and I had to get a new one. I moved everything to the cloud before the Xbox completely failed and I still have the old HDD so I'm not totally SOL. But what do I do if I don't have the old system?

Currently there is one scenario in which you cannot salvage
the save file: if you have ever moved your save file to the cloud and
the original system is not available to transfer it back to.  We
understand this may be a great setback to those impacted who have been
following the Mass Effect franchise over the years. We thank you for
your patience.

from the bottom of the page you are sol about that

Wow, I usually laugh at the rage, cancel preorder posts but now after dedicating hundreds hours to me1 and me2 I can feel their pain. I never expected this would ever be a problem. Just, wow... Totally blindsided. Pretty sure there will be no patch for this....

[slinky317]

I wish they would have announced this didn't work more than just less than a week before the release of the game. If my save doesn't import I'm going to be very pissed...

But this is what I don't get.

Say I played ME1 on a xbox console A and then I bought a new xbox (let's name it , I transferred my ME1 save to B via cloud. I then imported the save on that to ME2, I finished ME2 on that console.

The question is, will I be able to import my ME2 (ME1&2 combined) save game on the B console to ME3?

[slinky317]

This seems like a pretty big issue. I mean, imports of saves is one of ME's selling points. A little disappointed we haven't heard more from EA/BioWare on this subject.

Last i've heard. You could not. Because the saves are console lock. I might be wrong but my save would not load on my other console. If this happen, you can go download Horizon or any modding tool like this one for xbox 360 to actually edit the console ID for saves to make it work with the other console.

If this is true than seriously FML. I have spent well over 200 hours playing the first two combined (corrupter save file, brother deleted save, played male and female sheppard). I really don't feel like shelving another 80 or more hours so I can get my m&f sheppard ready for me3. 

[slinky317]

Actually, based on your case, I don't think it would stop you. As long as you're starting ME3 on the same console you started ME2 on, I think you'd be fine. ME1 really doesn't play into it as it used a different utility for importing saves (AFAIK).

[slinky317]

Ok, so after reading how cloud saves work on Xbox, it looks like the save is stored LOCALLY first and then uploaded to the cloud after you are done playing. So, theoretically, those of us who created saves "in the cloud" should be fine as long as we just move those saves back to the local HDD first. Theoretically.

This is a pretty low blow.. sad
