I’ve gotten to the point that I look up if there’s a good reward for it. Like, does this run through the whole game and build up to at least a nice cutscene or piece of gear? Alright. Annoying, but doable.
A piece of golden shit? Never again. Never a-fucking-gain, I swear I had a faster time pulling KOS-MOS in XC2 than hunting down so many Koroks.
You’re not supposed to find all the koroks. The golden shit is to tell you that you did the wrong thing.
it’s not about the reward, it’s about sending a message (of dopamine to your brain)
I got the spaceship car in grand theft auto V. I never felt so empty after spending so much time on something so pointless. Ah well, at least it wasn’t flying rats in GTA IV.
Even then, only if the process is fun. Like collecting the thingamajigs (it’s been a while) in Crackdown. I remember just moving around in that game being fun
Oh hell yeah, running and jumping around in Crackdown was an absolute blast. They had the exploration down perfectly, you really felt yourself get better at navigating, and the reward was just making it even better.
When i read the post, crackdown is the only game that cane to mind where i actually collected things. It was a mix between i was roaming around anyway and you got a reward if i remember correctly, it wasn’t just an achievement.

Ya ha hah!
Doesn’t the game not tell you how many are left?
It only shows you the ones you already found. Usually people compare their maps to interactive ones online to check what’s missing.
I know I’m in the minority but I HATE collectibles in games. They always completely kill the immersion for me. Wherever beautiful world was build is immediately transformed into some video game graphics when I find collectibles. I will never have the time nor care enough to collect them so they are just an annoying distraction. And let’s be honest all they are, are ways for the game devs to cheese the length of the game.
It’s worse than that. I don’t see how it even adds anything to any game. It just seems lazy, and i would never pick up anything that isn’t just on the way. There are games where you get something for the collectibles, but even then, i wish you could just make them go away.
Oh boy! This is Ubisoft’s specialty.
