I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.

    That was the one thing that really took me out of the story for red dead 2. I was doing 100% run and Dutch keeps talking about one more big score while my character has completely maxed out the camp and has over 10 grand in his pocket

      So true. I remember doing one ‘big job’ main mission and the reward was could hundred bucks. Which was chump change at that point. I could have chartered a boat to Tahiti if Dutch wasn’t so far up his own ass

      Actually this is really on-character for Dutch. No amount of money would have ever been enough for him. At Beaver Hallow they had about 49k in the cave. That’s more than enough to fuck off and hide somewhere. The “one more big score” is just another line to keep everyone on the hook working for Dutch. He thrived in the chaos and power.
