@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
Basti
