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.
GTA San Andreas lets you recapture 50+ areas in Los Santos. This takes around six hours.
Its taken away five missions later
Never got too far past that (there’s a mission where you have to control remote control planes I could never beat) but I always wondered if you got to get any of your gang territory back
You can get it all back when you go back to LS later in the story.
The mission with the remote control planes is a side mission. Not required for main story.
ROFL
Oops lol
Doing all that in 6 hours would be crazy impressive. I spent every day after school for what was probably at least a couple weeks taking over LS only to have it all stripped away, but it only made me that much more vengeful when I came back in the final chapter.
