discussion How do you feel about collectibles in games?

[Connoisseur739]

I am fine with collectibles as long as they are not extremely tedious. But it is nice with the collectible at least serve a purpose like an achievement or unlocking a secret.

I prefer collectables that have 0 impact on the game.

There was one (don't remember which one) that had nude pictures of the developer hidden in it and it was hot

Personally, I like it and I don't like it at the same time.

Do you like collecting things in the game or just ignore it?

Personally, I didn't care at first, but when I played some games with secret/true endings that require you to find hundreds of things around the map, I started to despise them.

Agree, after you collect the 100the dove on GTA you start to question your life. The goes for every game imo

Depends. Its alright for extra content but not if it highly related to storyline.

 

[KorkronElite]

Constantly scanning what are mostly boring and bland backgrounds rather than reading/playing the game is the opposite of my idea of fun. There's a couple of exceptions where you're given clues for what you're looking for and it's more of a mini game/puzzle than just having to notice a pop up in the background that are alright but still not exactly peak fun.

Well, sometimes. I was ok with collectibles in Milfy City

 

[Lucion]

it can be fun, if it isn't necessary to some hidden ending and just a fun little thing then i like it

 

[VForValhalla]

For AVNs, it's a big no from me. I only play them for the story and sex scenes.

For normal games, most collectibles are pointless and I don't go out of my way to find them unless there are achievements tied to it.

 

[Kesa]

I will scour a game start to end to find them 0.0

Grew up on the N64, so I say bring em on!

Don't like them, they tend to fall into two camps.
Useless clickable that distract from the game as your constantly thinking about if there could be one on this screen during every transition
Near Mandatory scavenger hunt that does nothing but lock away content if your not hyper vigilant about combing every inch.

In most VN's nothing kills the mood more than breaking up the flow of the story/suspense more than saying stop reading and find the clickies!

Seeing "Thing acquired. 1/96" after picking something up in a game makes me not want to play it.

 

[SammyJ27]

i 100%ed Assassins creed 2 back in the day. never again.

 

[Ligthstardust]

they can be fun but only if it isn't too annoying to collect

 

[bullshtm]

Collecting things is boring, but make achievements it's more important things.

 

[adsgsf]

honestly for me i dont care but i understan that there are people who like it

 

[Lizzy]

Don't like it at all

I have a game thast I have been stuck in for almost a year.

Now that I think of it I will go delete it.

Thanks for the reminder,

I think collectibles in games are ok as long as it is not mandatory to collect them for in.-game progression

 

[pikxmon12]

It depends a lot on the game. If it doesn't take long and you get something extra, I'll get them, but if there are more than 100 and they only give you one achievement...
