discussion How do you feel about collectibles in games?

[longgoneguy46]

if i need hours of searching collectibles to get something important, i'll just abandon the game

 

[Soulrave]

depends on the collection

 

[jeff1005]

Collecting and/or finding things during a game can be rather distracting. However, if searching for things doesn't detract from the story itself, then the search can be enjoyable. What I dislike is having to search for things in order to progress the narrative; that I find annoying

I usually ignore them if it doesn't impede progress in the game. The one game where I wanted to 100% it was Adventures of Willy D.

Since that game was sooo slow with all the walking to and fro I ultimately gave up on the collectibles. It pissed me off more than anything.

In general I like collectibles if they are a) not so well hidden that you have to do a sweep pixel by pixel, and b) found along the way. If a collectible appears at a later time in a location that has no further content except said collectible I don't give a fuck.

I don't mind them as long as they are optional and/or i can collect them at my leisure, nothing i hate more than a game that locks you out of collectibles if you don't get them before you continue with the story

 

[Raodos455]

the more the better, it helps devs to be creative and doesn't mess with the game development

 

[keyos666]

Hate em. Activates my ocd adjacent tendencies, and I MUST collect them all.

Same here. I get frustrated by them a lot. especially when they hide it "invisibly".

Collectibles as in like Being A DIK for some special renders or something, yeah, don't mind.

Unless it's needed to finish the game; no, hate that.

We're talking about panties.... aren't we.

 

[Dovahkiinzz]

I hate it, they are a waste of time

In another thread I already wrote porn games should be about porn. I don't need collectibles in those. What's up next? Achievements? Keep it simple.

 

[BS3DX]

I like them, but not when there are like 300 of them for just one collectible stat that's some BS.

 

[Viir Hahnu]

If a game has the collectibles/achievements that give you bonuses or buffs for later or current runs of the game then I'm all for them. otherwise I don't really seek them out, but will if i see them.

 

[bobforleweds]

I tend to ignore these things if they just give bonus renders. If I stumble over them ok, if not also ok.

 

[eljopo]

In any other game (as in non-porn games) i don't care about them, i'm not a completionist. In porn games i go hunting for them because i want to get all the content in an update, and sometimes it's worth it like they give you gallery images or bonus scenes, etc.

 

[MattShizzle]

Ignore. If it's hard to see, I won't see it.

 

[Ashwind]

I hate it. Having to keep looking around for hidden shit takes me away from the game and feels like a waste of time. Some games include extra renders from achievements or other things you unlock by playing the game normally, which in my opinion is much better than looking for hidden shit on the map.

 

[roux69]

I find that most of the time, the collectibles are not worth it. I prefer when the renders are in context of the story. Otherwise, it just feels random.

 

[lanny]

Depends on what it is. But I have found myself often looking for collectibles, and that it distract from the story. I'd rather just use a gallery unlocker. But in other type of games, I do like em. Just not in the type of games I play on here.

 

[MagusArcane]

I don't care for it in adult games. In regular games I don't mind as long as they are marked on a map or at least listed by zone.
