Well, it finally happened. On the bright side, I finally got that "Collect your body" trophy as well. I checked and saw that the "Strange Resistance Woman" mentioned in my "chil[D]hood's end" video actually sells trophies, but I had no intention of buying my way to platinum, so I guess that worked out.

But yeah, ironic that my first time using 2B in so long, after the last time I played her being when she died, was me intentionally getting her killed. Maybe a bit insensitive lol.

At least, with over 9 million G, anyone who finds my body should get a pretty large chunk of it, and it's right by the beginning of the game, too!

Anyway this is why I'm not a fan of Very Hard. It's basically "kill the enemy quick before it kills you", but I don't like rushing things. I like taking my time and playing around, but I wouldn't wanna do that if there was the threat of dying to any hit and basically being severely punished for having mercy.

Plus, enemies have the same health on Normal, Hard, and Very Hard, and you do the same damage. All that changes is the damage you take, and also you can't use lock-on for Hard or Very Hard, but I already use lock-on sparingly and the game does have soft lock-on, as you saw here.

And now I will forever have these two deaths as blemishes on my play records. Though at least a BIT of my pride is preserved thanks to having this video to remind me that I did it on purpose.

I could've let it go. I didn't NEED those tutorials. Damn my OCD needing that 100%! x(

So, in the end, it was worth it. I just wish you could get both tutorials from the same death. You can only get one at a time, so you gotta die at least twice - once with the network on.
