Which games are the worst offenders for letting you upgrade a character/inventory only to lose it all part way through the game. (alien.top)

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.

Literally one of 2 reasons my wife and I dropped that game half way through. The other was no cross progression for coop. What a fucking stupid mechanic. Flying in a plane, on our way to collect some goodies? Somehow some fucker knocks us out. The first 2 times we got ambushed we were in a well defended area, thinking we got this. Hate that game so much now

Yeah, i wont pay another Far Cry. The forced story is just too much.

That whole being knocked out to progress the story thing is one of the most shittiest implemented mechanics I have ever seen in a game.

The fact that it can happen to you no matter what you're doing and doesn't even let you finish objectives you may be in the middles of is so frustrating.

The funny thing is, the reason, according to Ubisoft why the game has no progression for the co-op partner, only the host, so they can "experience their own unique journey".

Good lord that's a stupid reason.

Getting knocked out is annoying, extremely so as you can't avoid it anyway, you hit that cap and YOU WILL get kidnapped no matter what.

As a free roam game, just derping around, especially so with a friend is actually really fun, but good lord does the game want you to not do that.

I absolutely hated Far Cry 5. To the point I quit playing them. I hated all the forced mission progression because exploring an open world is awesome. Taking that away just was never fun.

even when ubisoft makes a good game they have to go and ubisoft it up. what a terrible company. i wouldn't dare put that shit on my resume

Far cry 5 is my favorite Far Cry but that's entirely because I modded out everything I hated, made it much more replayable, and tightened some of the gunplay elements.
