I'd trade my 2013 ps4 for a pro any day man...

Anyways, don't you play with headphones on or something? I doubt you'd hear your fan with them.

Yes and i can still hear it, fan goes nuts on some games like God of War.

Buying a PS4 over an Xbox One at launch.

 

Nah, I don't have a big one, I have a few little trivial ones, listed in no order.

 

. Getting into trophies AT ALL.

. Signing up to a Brazilian PSN account to get Rachet Gladiator and QForce for free, but then forgetting the login details.

. Making an American account and going through the hassle of buying American currency to buy Shadow Warrior 2 on sale, only for it to come to Australia like a month later at that point (though I did also get Hotline Miami 2, and use that account for all the Humble Bundles not available in Australia, so it's okay)

. Buying Rock Band on iOS like 7 or 8 years ago because you can't redownload it at all and it sucks, it was a real hassle to sideload onto an iPhone in 2019.

. Buying Rock Band 4 right before the massive price drops started.

. Buying Guitar Hero Live because it was cheaper than Rock Band 4, only to realize it's a piece of shit, and then caving and buying RB4 anyways.

. Bricking one of my PSP Go consoles when learning how to CFW for the first time.

. Trading in all my old Game Boy / Advance stuff for (relatively) piss all, trading all my shit in general tbh. Cliche I know, but damn I regret it.

. Preordering Battlefront 2 digitally as a birthday present for a friend, only for it to tank and be 20 dollars in weeks after release, when I paid 100 for a digital copy.

-Not password-protect my account.

-Have one of my kids play a game (Samurai Warriors 4) and overwrite a 40h-save.

-Have auto-backup on, so have the bad save overwrite the good backup without me noticing.

-Notice and swear.

-Turn off auto-backup to not have this problem again.

-Get my PS4 bricked during an update (motherboard failure?).

-Lose all my saves made since the first event because they weren't backed up.

 

Now back on auto-backup, but the kids all know my password.

Living dangerously.

I don’t know if I have any worth mentioning, let’s see...

-Trading in my PS3 Slim for an Xbox One and a few games. One game was dead on arrival, the other being Elder Scrolls Online.

-Playing through Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, the online portion is dog shit. I’ll be at 99% forever due to one dodgy achievement.

-Starting Adventures of Mana on my Vita, which is confusing and requires a buttload of backtracking if mistakes have been made.

-Allowing my kid to play on my account, now stuck with LBP2 trophies.

-Allowing my partner to play a UFC game with me where I knocked him out within 30 seconds by button mashing. He never played with me again and now stuck with one trophy.

-Allowing myself to play through TLoU. Not a bad game but it’s not worth multiple playthroughs...

-Punishing myself through one game at a time until I complete it. I won’t allow myself to play anything else. Probably my worst mistake.

You monster

I still hate myself when I think about it. Especially now as Castlevania is one of my favourite gaming series.

 

I actually went back two days later to get the Castlevania game but of course if was sold by then.

Its the beat DS game as well. My uncle got me it for my birthday ages ago and I played it so much the cartidge doesnt work anymore

 

It was the GBA game that I missed out on. I had Dawn of Sorrow for the DS (assuming you are talking about that one) and I played so much of that game. So many good times. Really hope they re-release it for the Switch. I'm not sure if I played Portrait of Ruin (but I am sure I did) but I remember Order of Ecclesia being a big disappointment.

Though that Salt and Sanctuary have one trophy list for all platforms and completed one trophy on PS4, then, after gasp that I need to do another round in this game, have decided to go in NG+ there too. Witch of the Lake have drained all life from me. Can't look at this game anymore.
