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.
I absolutely hated it for the first 5m going in blind the first time, but then it hits almost immediately that you’ve been tossed into a survival horror scenario and you completely forget about your gear.
I forgot to make a save before entering the bunker, too, so I had to commit to it.
