Eyyyyy boi

Worse then autosave failure. When the game auto-saves right in front of a one way street into death and your woefully underprepared.

I'm always terrified in open world games, that if I don't complete all available side-missions, collectibles, and exploration, before I do the next story mission, that a story twist will lock me out of part of the world.

I have advise for Mike just be a jack of all trades or play a mix of charmer and a blade and or sword wielding badass or just go half and half by getting skills you want and getting skills the game wants you to get problem solved

Ive been muscling through dark souls with an ugly character and it hurts me.

Ooof I feel so called out right now. (Not when it comes to RDR2 though, because that game's auto saves make it so I absolutely don't regret saving more than once.)

@@Crisjola I do the same thing lol the game can quick save as many times as it possibly can but I’ll still manually save if I can in RDR2 lmao I’m so guilty of that

*decides to save three more times, just in case*

I also always save twice in a row when I'm done for the day. Never know when your save might corrupt and load the previous one, which is now in the exact same spot 5 seconds earlier.

My cousin watched me play a game once and I drove him nuts saving after every step I average 10 Skyrim save an hour, so I always get confused when someone isn't in the hundreds, maybe even if they aren't in the thousands, of saves made

Had that happen a couple of times. the worst is when its in an area that you cant come back to

Oh, I have serious empathy with that - "oh, no, shi*, I wanted to check out that other path and hers comes the #@**#%^&! cutscene!"

Oh my dog YES! I've legit not finished games because of this worry

Dead space invented the best navigation system to avoid this. Give you a button that points the right way so you can explore.

I clearly agree with that, especially in RPG's my best examples are Dragon quest, sometimes I only could got back to previous areas because I finally got a new transport that can bring me back, so I can finally check that suspicious cave.

Skyrim gets me the worst with that fear.

Doom 2016 is actually worst example for this issue, as it literatelly allow to highlight secrets and replay maps ._. Plus it's a damn good game

@@ramsoofkyo9047 it makes it so much worse, because I know... And I spend hours on one level just to get one item from a jumping puzzle I missed at the beginning of the level

Uncharted saga made me like that, and it's funny because I checked every corner and i only got 1/4 of the collectibles

You only need a few of the upgrades in DOOM 4 to be competitive in combat, and enough of those are handed out. You find all the secrets if you're trying to be a god.

Gotta save that elixir for emergencies

What about the final, final boss?

As prozd once made a skit about. You know what I'm going to quote the entire thing through. "I'm out of mana." "Then use an ether!" "But you can't buy these in the store." "ITS THE FINAL BOSS"

There's literally a VG Cats comic about this.

@@chillszero what if this isn't it's final form

Oh yeah. When you come to a fork in the road, so you go left, and leads to a big room that looks like it's somewhere you're supposed to go so you backtrack and go right but that leads to a bossroom so you go left again and clear that room out because you don't want to miss stuff out.

Highly relatable -OX

There might be good loot there! There won't be. But there MIGHT!

I love achievement hunting but I can’t get completely done with games that have a lot of multiplayer achievements.

uncharted did that for me. not so much easter eggs but just all collectibles in gen

Bro in assassins creed odyssey you have this choice go after this one cultist or save the baby I always end up saving the baby then having to Google the name of the side quest just cause I can never remember it and I think "I should've let that random baby burn and killed her right then and there instead of going to kill animals then having two mini-bosses and the boss"

Sometimes those side quests are even better than the main one. Hell thats like 90% of skyrim.

Legitimately why I stopped playing the story mode of RDR2: because I wanted to see everything even though I knew good/bad endings were tied to honor and not collecting everything/all side quests.

@@amyschildgamerlive4519 I agree, I spent so much time on Skyrim and I can't even remember fully the main story line, I was so psyched anticipating going to Sovengard and everything, it was so underwhelming!

@@jenniferdouillard8683 yeah but the side quests were definitely amazing though. The dark brotherhood, thieves guild, mage's college were my favorites.

Assassins creed origins like ik I have three skill points game but I need 5 so shut up and let me get the other two

Total War Shogun 2 comes to mind immediately.

That's sooooooo me. Saving, then 10 sec after, wait let's save again just in case.

@Andrew Cash same

this is literally me

@@nansmeunier3250 And then comes a longer stretch where nothing happens, you feel safe and forget to save, and WHAM! Not making that mistake again. For a while at least.

Freezeburn 98 oh man, I hadn’t even thought of this but I 100% agree. I read pretty fast, game! I don’t want to watch the text appear character by character, but I *do* want to read it!

I did this in the original Suikoden when you first talk to Leknaat and she's telling you your destiny. I got impatient waiting for the words to appear and would hit the button again to make the whole paragraph of dialogue appear. Well, I accidentally hit the button too much and I missed things! The next thing she told me was something like "Remember that, it's important." Aaaargh.

Bel And then you have to debate if you should try to look for the cutscene online or avoid risking spoilers

@@DeathnoteBB Eh, I wound up deciding it wasn't that important because I hadn't saved in awhile and had already put a bunch of time into it. I found out later what it was when I replayed the game.

THIS! This is the absolute biggest source of stress for me in a game, especially if it's dialogue-heavy or has good writing. One of the worst examples in general is when you walk just a bit too fast and your character's dialogue gets cut off, leaving you wondering what they were going to say next.

Hey I heard you liked kingdoms of amalur so I thought you could have some kingdoms of amalur with your kingdoms of amalur

Or you spend time leveling up a character that then goes away and you don't get the rest of the game.

YES! It's especially bad in Miitopia because whenever you change a mii's job they return to level 1, so later in the game when you've unlocked the vampire and elf jobs you have to spend SO LONG training them back up to match the rest of the party. And since you have ten party members but can only go out with four at a time, there's the problem where the four you use all the time are higher levels than the rest of your party, which is only made WORSE when miis start getting sick and you suddenly can't use one of your four most powerful party members and have to swap for one who's lagging five or ten levels behind

I remember playing FFXII and using an item that specifically HALTS experience gain whilst worn, so I could make all the characters in the same 100 EXP range and level up simultaneously. The pedantic-ness was (and still is) one of my greatest gripes in video gaming

Oh god yes oh I like this character their cool I'll flirt with them oh now we're a thing yea then shlalalala this character shows up and is perfect but but I'm with this one

This is a real life worry for me, actually.

beastmode1425 that was all I Would ever notice every time I made a character and it would never be right LOL

My siblings constantly joke that the Genesis DLC i got for ME2 was basically a $10 nose job to fix my ME1 characters apprarance XD

I have given every one of my Shepard's Tom Cruise's nose. But it's an improvment over the first Shepard I made that I have dubbed "fish face Shepard".... Had to wear the death mask so he wouldn't scare small children.

Most relatable comment I've ever seen.

So the first time I played ME2 I was super excited to remake my character cuz he just seemed boring in me1. And I went all out and checked every face angle and all that, made sure he looked good in all the Cardinal directions. But what I didn't know was that within the first like 10 minutes, he's ducked behind cover and talking to Jacob, and you see his face at an angle you can't get in the character creator. And from that angle the character I took an hour making perfectly had cheeks like a fucking black hole. They just sunk right in. And it's all I could ever see so I actually reset the game and like analyzed the guys face AS IT TURNED so that I didn't miss any angle.

Yes! So good!

Sounds like my New Vegas character.

Wait. He played a Toreador and couldn't tear through every enemy? Auspex and celerity were one of the op combos in that game, right?

Gotta love Massive Attack - Angel playing in the background for that section.

@@biggamanedabeast5247 Me in MMOs.

i do this, and sometimes for like dialogue options i will worry i picked the wrong one and just reload a save to see the other dialogue

When you have the choice of two directions, explore one a bit in, go "I think this is the right path, let me go back and get that bonus item," and that second path is actually the right one

Oh god and then you look at the map and the other route is so far away and you already met another split in the path

OMG YES!!! But if the game allows me, I always save before choosing a direction and if that's the correct one, I reload and explore the other path haha...

YES! Every time I see “encourages exploration” in a game description I know I’m going to spend 90% of the game not going to the main quest waypoint or hoping I’m going the wrong way.

That feeling of regret over picking the "right path" and possibly missing something valuable is a constant problem

I like to think the little "imperfections" I don't like about a character I made gives them character to make myself feel better, lol.

That is a really old reference and I love it!

My character's dad ended up looking like Shang Tsung from MK11, so ya I get it. Also I don't get how that happened, both the brother and sister were white how was the Dad asian if his looks were determined by their's.

This bothered me in morrowind, because I had a wiki pulled up for some dungeon cause I was curious about some detail or something, and it turned out one of the best gauntlets in the game were stuck really akwardly behind this little piece of scenery I never would have looked behind. The rest of my game I was constantly worried something like that would happen again and I would never know...

@Luke Joyce Oh my gods. Seriously?!😨

@@coltonwilliams4153 yep, the Fists of Randagulf. Ended up using them the rest of the game, actually

Steelberry I’m like this in all games where you can upgrade things I eventually just end up playing like a bandit and murdering every living or undead thing I see and stealing their shit

This happens to me all the time! “Hurray! I finally have a great weapon that looks awesome. I’m going to spend the hard earned gold/credits to upgrade it.” Only to find an infinitely better weapon as a reward for the very next mission...

I don't have this problem, but I want to add on to it anyway. I have seen a let's player who refused to buy any new equipment he came across because he was sure he would find them in chests/as drops later in the dungeons.

@@YingofDarkness This is how I played Dark Souls blind. Spend souls on stuff?

I haven't really played Fallout 4 but in 3 and New Vegas I would basically make some empty shacks my house. In NV There's a shack just outside of Goodsprings near some radscorpions and I would just leave all my shit there, it even had a reloading bench. So I'd just have my own scattered shacks throughout the wasteland where I hoard everything I don't want to carry. Made a lot of back and forth trips though saving everything I could.

My default state in games with encumbrance that slows you to a crawl but doesn't stop you completely, is being over encumbered. All of the Fallout games for example, I was never able to move faster than a slow walk.

I'm always surprised when I leave a building/area unencumbered, even though I managed to clear it of everything not nailed down (and, if possible, some things that don't go into one's inventory but have some sort of other use...I once dragged *every* item from around the Vault entrance into Sanctuary in a Fallout 4 playthrough just so I could scrap them...at some point). My main in Skyrim once had the "house" near Riverwood (the one with *the* basement) wherein I stored every item I'd picked up in my entire playthrough (since it was free storage, I hadn't the funds for Breezehome, and I was without the homesteads at that time). Once I purchased the DLC, though, I had the complete joy of building my house...followed by the painful realization I'd have to carry *everything* from one house to the other. The move did allow me to separate the items into an organized state in the new home...after I'd used the entryway chest as a storage unit for most things (so I didn't spend hours organizing the stuff before I could spend the time doing so).

This deserves WAY more likes.

Like... dying, immediately afterward.

Nick deJager YES!!! I don’t like autosave. I like saving myself. I think it should ALWAYS be an option to turn off autosave for people who don’t like it

I combine this with the ammo/health potions anxiety. What if I get locked into a boss fight with insufficient ammo? I'll just keep running down this canyon I'm trapped in, face scorpion of doom with half a clip of ammo and 62% health, and die over and over. So instead I die three times fighting the scorpion because I'm trying to use an axe for half the fight to conserve ammo, and also refuse to use health items.

Happened to me in Halo 2 once. Had to restart a level and was big mad lol

Skyrim auto save before you die and end up in a loop

Happened to me in Xenoblade Chronicles

Walking Dead Final Season. Still missed at least one collectible in EVERY chapter

Late to this party but started my first ever dark souls play through on switch last week and missed the broad sword and had to grind to get a broken straight sword

In DS1, well why did I even.. the creator is, not good, I wake up as charred bacon and probably cover my face anyway. Next new game, spends way too long creating a character anyway. Other games "Nnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo!" Half an hour later..

First time playing Fallout 76, I spent ages making my character, as is my habit, only for the game to crash before I could finalize it. I restarted the game, tried to recreate the same character, had just about finished and: the game crashed. Repeat at least 3 more times before I finally managed to enter the game with a character much less unique and detailed than I would have liked.

Those bastard game designers really love to put the randomize button next to the finalize button too. It's pretty sadistic.

oh SHIT I've done that SO many times

You make the perfect character, everything looks great, you're happy so you click confirm and start game. You make one attack and the default, unchanged, normally high pitched "YAHH!" graces your ears and you realise you forgot to edit the voice. RUINED

I'd just love to hear this one out of Luke's mouth!

I know this is the final boss, and I know I've almost beaten it, but what if I use this full restore, and somehow die before I can land that one hit? Then I'll have to fight this boss again with 14 full restores instead of 15!

I just came here to have a good time and I feel *SO ATTACKED* right now.

Those are bullshit and bad game design imo

You shouldn’t be able to use consumables if you’re supposed to lose unless you can win.

Those games need to offer you a reward if you win a scripted boss fight. Like in the PMD explorers if you win againist Grovyle you don't loose your items like when you get a game over in those games. If you loose, the story progresses, but you loose your items.

Man I hate the second to last boss in Assassin's Creed Valhalla because he is one of those bosses.

I often look for chests to stash everything I can't take and come back later to pick it up.

@@vladdracul5072 In games like Minecraft and Terraria, that too becomes an issue.

Felix360 YESSS!

“So what’s on the *Menu* today? 😆

I have found my species.

I think i have that too. Its agonizing trying to deny the hoarder inside.

I would make fun of this, but have you ever done inventory management in RE4? It’s incredibly satisfying when you get it all right.

I carry around 800 lb of stuff in Skyrim at any time. “I may need this set of 50 lb armor, might as well bring it. I’ve never used a potion, but I might need one now”

Now that you mention it, I do worry that I'll accidentally move to where I'm supposed to go and initialize a cut-scene before I had a chance to explore for secrets

On the third point, worst one is throwing away items that will be essential to the main quest Did that in Wizards & Warriors, accidentally sold an item that was essential for progressing the main story (and the game has no buyback), old games were punishing :-)

The killing potentially important character part is in Morrowind.

Thumbs up for mentioning Baten Kaitos! They need to remake that game on a system with achievements so other people can see that I held onto those fricking momentos all 40 hours it takes them to evolve. What was I crippling my quest magnus capacity for all that time, my own satisfaction? Okay, yes, but that's just not good enough in an age where I could have a little "very rare" notifier and percentage by my name for it!

I sold some cactus item in Final Fantasy 12 that was needed to get start a quest chain later for a summon... I was so disheartened I stopped playing, even though I had already put in a good chunk of time into the game. Now I hoard everything out of paranoia.

Thaias man elder scrolls and fallout in full are like this

FIRST RULE OF RPG: CHECK *E V E R Y T H I N G*

deep rock galactic

I do that too! 😂😂

I do that too because I don't usually replay the game (unless it's REALLY good) and I don't want to miss any fun side quests or the items they might give me.

Well in some games its nessacary to do side quests to get different endings. For example the neptunia games, the rewards for quests also include changes for the power the different countrys get and of the 7-8 endings, 5-6 are very dependant on each countrys strength and the true ending has four of the countrys being at 15% or higher with the bad groups power being at 0% with there only being a total 100% between all the countrys so it is rather important. And the true ending you have to by a certain point you have to boost the strength of each country one by one to 55% to recruit a character who is needed for the endings

but what if a sidequest pops up in the middle of the main story and it doesnt tell you and it becomes inaccessible at the end of the game? I had that one mayor stranger mission in RDR2 and I missed it and I still regret it..

The only games I don't do that in are MMO's.

This is why I couldn't finish Dishonored.

Sometimes that final drive to the finish gets so disproportionately difficult that I'll leave the game unfinished, believing I've made it through all the "fun" parts anyway. I *could* go after the Metroid Prime, but it's way off in another dimension, and really really tough. AFAIC "The last metroid's in captivity. The galaxy is at peace." *fin*

Code Vein is good for that, just get all of Io's and each major areas vestiges and restore them throughout the game to get the best ending

When you have an awesome collection and haven't been given a way to store it. But.. my cool stuff

ME IN DRAGON AGE, GETTING ITEMS FROM QUESTS THAT ARE NAMED FOR DEAD FAMILY MEMBERS: oh god i outlevel this equipment BUT I CAN'T SELL IT BECAUSE DAD! D: /thank goodness for that storage chest in later games

Which is why I love it when they give you a home or base with display cases.

I get that all the time in Skyrim as well

JRPGs do have that habit of dropping another boss in our laps out of nowhere.

@@coltonwilliams4153 I remember when I got to Cloud of Darkness in Final Fantasy III (the DS remake). You see, a bit before you reach the final boss, the game gives you 4 ribbons. The ribbon is an accessory that you equip and it negates all debuffs - you become completely immune to all debuffs/status effects. I had better accessories at the time (stats-wise), so I just put them away. Well, turns out the Cloud of Darkness is **very fond** of applying literally all of the game's status effects on your whole party, meaning you'll Game Over in about 2-3 turns... Which I did. Now, consider the fact that the entire final two dungeons take about 2-3 hours to complete and feature absolutely no save points (you can suspend save on the DS, but not actually save). Yeah, I gave up on the game - at least for the time being.

Gamer logic: "This can't be his final form. I'll save these rockets for the alien mother form, because I really don't want to not have rockets when it changes into *that*!"

Connor Shady This reminds me of Markiplier's Gunpowder/Bullet speech in his Resident Evil 2 playthrough, where he saved dozens of gunpowder, but never used it (even times when he was extremely low on ammo) until the very end. He literally had over 200 bullets.

@@megadeathx It's a good train of thought though. It's been years now and I'm still pissed at that one RE6 's boss that returned about five times in succession because protagonists were too dumb to check if he died for good this time. You'd think that's a given when the guy got blown to bits and still revived two times already.

That was my experience in most fire emblem games.

*end credits roll* What if there's a secret boss!?

Nier Automata. So many weapons that are in one off places that fucking self destruct afterwards.

Same, it's one of the reasons why I usually will spend like 20 minutes or so in a single level or area. Gotta make sure I find EVERYTHING.

When I actually played games like that, I remember winning a 1v5 scenerio in search and destroy in call of duty. I was so proud of myself. Especially since I'm that player that has a just below 1 kill to death ratio... That was definitely stressful, but it's reasonable to be stressed at that...I can still feel the pressure I was under years later...

One of my first times playing Counterstrike, I somehow managed to be the last person alive and went to defuse the bomb. Only problem, I had no idea what the defuse button was. At least I made a lot of people laugh, even if they sure as hell weren't laughing with me...

Mate. I suffer the same anxiety over builds. I like some arpgs, but find that builds can be intimidating and I worry about gimping my stats or making bad choices. At the same time I hate the idea of following online build guides, because I feel like I am cheating. Last game I tried like this was Grim Dawn and there is so much build customisation and stat selections. I just find the process confusing and complicated, I gave up on it.

I played Diablo 2 as a summonmancer, not because I knew it was a build, but it was the thing I liked, I wanted to be a necromancer, and I wanted to do what necromancers do, which is resurrect the dead to do your bidding, only to find out that Diablo is nearly impossible as a summonmancer. I got to the end of the game fairly well coasting on my legion of undead, only for the end of the main game to be a wall that my build simply couldn't do because Diablo didn't have mobs or underlings for me to feed on and use and thus I've never beaten Diablo 2.

Me playing as an Adept in Mass Effect 1... luckily, it's a lot better in Andromeda (it took me ages to finally settle on trusting biotics again)

Save often. Re load and go explore and come back to it.

You dont have to restart, theres a free dlc called the black emporium that adds a location that allows you to change your appearance whenever you want for free

Keeping literally everything. Lol

By the final missions I had about 350,000 gold pieces saved up in DOS2, because I worry so much that I won’t have money for later

I do the same thing in Skyrim, however, ever so often I will look at my character in third person just to enjoy a) how well I did in CC and b) because then I get to look at all my awesome gear with the addition of a scenic background. Happens in other RPG as well, at least those that have a good first person option. You know how some games do have a first person view but it's really weird and awkward? Maybe that's why I didn't like to play any first person games for years and always stuck to 3rd person RPG? :D

bro i feel i will literally wiki every conversation as i'm having it to make sure i'm making every character like me as much as possible. i can't escape my people pleasing tendencies...

That’s me every time I play The Old Republic

That's Bioware games for me in a nutshell

@@deathbykonami5487 yes!!

Which is why you play the game multiple times until you memorize every single dialogue, item location and boss fight, to make the game your little bich in the end ;)

Madeline Golding omg I feel that ALL THE TIME. It’s like “wait there are enemies here?! Where are they?!”

That has never made me anxious. Just irritated, because it's usually something tiny and insignificant that you can kill with a sneeze

@@filmandfirearms True 😂😂 Except that one time!!!

Used to listen to Oblivion soundtrack at work... a lot of the music is calming... forgot to remove the random attack music from the playlist on day one... wow many the customer service phone line that day.... it was bad...

Stacy Cote, speaking of the Oblivion soundtrack-- for some reason the music kept crashing Oblivion on my XBox 360. Didn't matter which version of the game or which one of the three machines upon which I played the game-- the only way for me to prevent the game locking up within minutes was to turn the music completely off. It suited me just fine, but this meant I _never_ heard any combat music to tip me off to impending danger. Yes, I got ambushed from behind many a time in Oblivion.

Relatable xD

100% relatable

I always end up double tapping my save, just in case I didn't actually save the first time and only think that I did.

Now I know the saving icon has disappeared but it still says "game saved" on the screen, if I turn off the console before that text disappears will I risk losing everything? Oh god I moved while waiting for the text to disappear! What if it's trying to autosave as I select shut down? Oh god Oh god Oh god.....

And then my face looks like your profile pic

Hard save, quick save, auto save in a constant loop. Trusting no save.

that poor quicksave button...did i just pick up 1 arrow? gotta save...opened a chest? save! killed a rat? DOUBLE SAVE!!

OH MY GOSH! Yes, this! I hadn't even thought about this but I absoLUTEly have this fear all the time.

Yup. I found out accidentally on my second play through of Fallout 3 that you can skip pretty much half the game by going straight to the gas station your Dad is in. It's cool, but now every time I play an open world game I get the slight fear that I'll do something that will lock me out of seeing other parts of the game.
