    @EA_Bastian Thanks for the response. I actually decided to purchases another disk from my local gamestop. Apparently there were small scratches on the disk (under direct bright light pin sized) that were affecting the game. I couldn't believe how these, at the most, 10 tiny scratches were ruining my game. But I discussed this matter with one of the stores employees and said he experienced this same scenario with another game. Not to worry thug, as said earlier, I decided to purchase another copy and the game played smoothly. Actually got to finish the game the same day. Once again though Thanks for the Response!

@DarkSpaceKidd22 thanks for your detailed report and sorry that you have trouble completing the game. Might worth a shot to perform a hard reset on your console but as you have already tried various workarounds, there is not much else we can try on your console: 

1. Turn off Playstation 3.

2. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.

3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps

4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.

5. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button

6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

7. Select Restore File System.

Do you have any older save-files to check if the save-file itself is glitched?

Cheers

    @DarkSpaceKidd22 okay thanks for keeping us updated! It can indeed happen that even small scratches causing issues if the damaged sectors on the surface are basically crucial data for running the game on specific sections. 

    Cheers
