In Infamous Second Son, after Delsin gets the Neon power he runs into Augustine. At this point of the game, Delsin doesn't want her to know that he has the Conduit ability to absorb other the power of others. But Augustine seemed to already know that he can and taunts him into using it. So now we get into a Boss fight with one of her grunts, with the only rechargeable ammo offered being the neon lights. Since the fight let me start off with Smoke, I used that until I was about empty trying to slowly get the boss' health down, after that I ran towards the neon lights.
But then I heard something:
Augustine: You know, no one would blame you if you go for the neon.
It was then something inside me snapped, I stopped, and I told myself "You know what? No." I had decided to only use Smoke and let myself get killed by the boss, which then set me back before the fight. I put ALL of my remaining points into rockets, from there it was a matter of making sure every single one hits as my ammo couldn't be recharged and one or two misses meant it was over. It took some time since the boss wouldn't stop moving and attacked whenever I got too close, forcing me to aim at a decent distance and I always jumped into the water for an instant lost whenever I ran out completely, all the while Augustine kept taunting me to use the neon. And then I finally did it, feeling so accomplished, but was then I was treated to a cutscene and immediately I hear:
Delsin: Okay, so maybe I can use Neon...
Look, I pretty much expected this, but it is no less a let down. I got absolutely nothing out of what I did, no achievements, no collectables, no points, no levels, no unique scenes, nothing. But I would never say I regret it, because I beat that boss my way. So, do any of you have such pointless things that you're proud you did?
