discussion How do you feel about collectibles in games?

Sometimes I also play challenging games where I have to earn my way through.
In “Bright Past,” I collected everything I could.
But most of the time, I let myself be carried along by a love story like a feather.

I like them if they're purely optional and collecting them rewards you, like better gear or other benefits, but if gameplay is locked behind them I despise them.

The collectibles that unlock a phone wallpaper, in game screen saver, picture, etc I enjoy. Something more too look forward to.
Those that require all 100 hidden things to unlock something, ehhh not a big fan.
Although it gives the game more playability, it's just not for me.
That being said, I wouldn't quit a game based off the side collectibles.
