The most painful mistake though was manual uploading what I realized too late was an old save to the cloud/online PS+ storage which overwrote the newest save and I had to replay about 2 hours to get back to the place I'd actually gotten to in the game.

This doesn't work for all games because balance varies from game to game, but for a lot of them the solution can be to increase the difficulty. That way you end up getting in positions where you kind of need to use your consumables or you have trouble progressing. I'll sometimes not do this because I find I actually don't want to use the consumables, but at the end of the day the game ends up being so much more rewarding when you do need them and they save you!

I played as a Breton and the only physical weapons I carry around in Skyrim is a dagger and some kind of staff in case I do run out of magicka. When I got to Whiterun, any septim I earned went towards buying spellbooks from Farengar, whenever I levelled up, I only invested in magicka at the start, and then I just paid however many septims it cost for the wagon to take me to Winterhold where I then did the mages quest line. Being a mage becomes a hell of a lot easier when you get the archmages robes, his amulet and circlet. It was hard but so worth it!

Don't worry Rob, there is a reason why most people end up playing stealthy archer in Skyrim. It Works! Basically the entire game is set up to accommodate this build both in difficulty and enjoyability. Regardless of what build you go for you're gonna want to level up archery anyway, and stealth is just a really good compliment to it so it's only natural that people end up doing it that way the whole game. And you're not missing out on much by not going destruction magic build anyways. Even with the vampire necromage bug destruction spells don't do comparable damage to anything else you could use unless you use mods and/or level alchemy to max and neck potions of buff magic damage 500% constantly.

Missing out on lore when I start a new game.

Somewhat like Nath's mistake, is I'm constantly forgetting mechanics and features of a game or stat bonuses on items. "Oh yeah, you can craft that!" or "Oh, I forgot that piece of armour/weapon has that buff!"

“Let’s all talk about this murder” really sounds like something Ash would say .... or, more likely, Jane from OXBOX.

Jane would sweep it all under the carpet, completely horrifying Andy while Mike just shakes his head, because Jane does that every Friday, really Andy, get used to it. (I watch too much Oxbox, obviously XD)

All Skyrim characters evolve into stealth archers, there's a whole meme about it.

Rob, I feel for you. I start out skyrim saying I'm going to play stealth, but always end up playing a mage. Or, in dark souls, I try to play a dexterity build, but always end up a strength build. Also, why was Rosie's audio so loud during Ash's section of the video?

Completely relate to Skinny Dave in this - I'm the same with FFVII. Couldn't bear to part with any old weapons, armor or accessories to the point when even at the end you're obviously not going to equip a bronze bangle when you have a dragon armlet LOL but still can't sell it.

Playing a game's opening sequence and then abandoning it either for several months before going back or just abandoning it completely. Happens with the large majority of the games I buy these days.

Yep, my first thought for this one was about hoarding everything, all the good full-team healing items in final fantasy etc. Can be on my knees but I still won’t use them 😂

I have the EXACT SAME issue as Rob (AND Dave) with Skyrim. Plus, every time I restart it, I SWEAR "This is the time I don't save scum mining the rocks for gems"...and wind up save scumming them....

when playing an RPG I always spread out my stats equally and never make any aspect more powerful than the others. It rarely goes well

Using consumables (healing elixir, ammo, etc) If I find myself fighting a boss and forced to use a consumable to win, I'll save in a different slot after the battle Then I load the previous save and try a several more times to beat the boss without using the consumable

Not specialising my build. The best I've actually managed is in the Souls series with Spellsword. My starting class was pyromancer but I don't use them. Next two in the series, I started with classless.

@2:30 - Deadly Premonition sounds like a rather special game. I think it's a mistake that I keep making when playing SRPGs with big rosters, where I try to keep every party member's level at parity with the rest, intending to select a "main" party at a later date when I have a feel for the characters. And then I get to the final boss before I make that selection, and all the good units are underleveled and all the bad units are overleveled... Dammit...

I always do this thing in any RPG or game with an RPG-style progression system: I find a nice, comfortable little leveling niche where I can just go around in a circle, farming lovely experience and lovely items, over and over and over again until I become blisteringly overleveled and wonder why nothing is fun anymore.

My mistake is if in an RPG I chose a build and later on I don't like either the build or decisions made or if I reach a point where I don't know where to go or what quest to do next or if I haven't played the game for a while. I delete my save and start again until I am happy with the decisions, character build and direction to proceed

Dave, you and I are video game-twin brothers! Lol when you stated your first problem of not finishing games and jumping right into the next big release, I was like: "Yep.. same here, man.. same here. I work so much and it's hard to keep up!" But then you went on to talk about your hoarding issue, and I was like; "Yes! I do the exact same thing! I hoard the best weapons and ammo, and cripple myself in boss fights to save it, and I finish a quest but refuse to ditch or sell the items associated with it, even if it's just a journal in Skyrim, I HAVE to keep it!! -It's not a "Dave problem", bud.. its a "Sam & Dave problem"!!

Not being able to skip cutscenes or endcredits of already finished games. My mind tells me: "Those people worked hard to create this, I have to show appreciation for it." So I'm sitting there watching the (MK11, …) credits for the 50th time and I can't bring myself to skip it.

I do the same thing in Skyrim. Other games sometimes but mainly in skyrim
@greyfox1114833 жыл бұрын
Dave, I share both your mistakes and don't learn. I horde due to fear of the unknown and I hop game to game without finishing. Currently I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 7, and BOTW with sprinkles of Doom Eternal and Dark Souls in there. I know it's not the right way to game, but I can't help it.
