Worst collectibles in games?
- Thread starter bong264
- Start date
Collectables in any Ubisoft game (Assassin's Creed II-IV Black Flag, The Crew 1&2) and the Riddler Trophies in Arkham Knight from Rocksteady. When done in moderation they can be enjoyable but when scaled up to a large map as seen in IV Black Flag, The Crew 1&2 or are required for "The Golden Ending" of Arkham Knight I just uninstall the game and watch said ending online. That kind of crap needs to be pared down for the next generation but I am doubtful about that.
The music notes during that one part in Skyward Sword come to mind. OH. While I'm on a nintendo train of thought, those stamps things you get in some of the recent Nintendo games. The ones that let you put pictures on messages. I haaaate those.
And looking for those stupid spirits in Quest 64.
... actually I might make a list.

The feathers in Assassin’s Creed 2. There was no in-game map for them. I had to beat the game, pull up a cheat map on IGN, then trace my steps for every single one whether I had gotten it or not. My first Plat though 
Another pointless collectible I bet no one thought about, grey level equipment in an MMO.
Why does it still drop when you're rocking rare stuff after the starting zones? What purpose does it serve besides vendor trash? Does anyone ever use it?

YES. I stopped playing Senua bc I wanted to get all the totems or whatever, but missed one that you can’t revisit and ... well that was that. I know I should finish the game but I’m still mad
There has to be some baseline that higher-level equipment compares to. If there's no grey loot, it's the next one up.
Yeah but we could just say “Fallen Order” for every “worst” category question and save ourselves the discussion.
(Kidding.)
...
(But also I hated that game.)
I'm a completionist and I usually aim for 100% completion in most games I play. That said, I'm glad to see someone already posted the Riddler Trophies because absolutely fuck those things. Arkham City was one of the few games I never even attempted to go for 100% completion.
I have a list:
1) The pigeons in Grand Theft Auto 4.
There are 200 of them and they don't appear on the map.
2) Blast shards in the first InFamous game.
3) Arkham Knight Riddler trophies. Pointless exercise of futility in an already bland game.
4) Korok seeds in Breath of the Wild.
Even the game makes fun of you for collecting them all.
5) Golden Skulltulas in Ocarina of Time.
One of the worst things I've ever tried to do in a video game.
6) Hidden bags in Mirror's Edge.
Why did the developers add hidden collectibles in a game that defines itself by its constant movement?
7) 95 different vehicles in L.A Noire.
Besides the fact that most of these vehicles look the same because of the time period, they also only appear in certain missions/times of day/areas of the city.
8) Days Gone - All of them.
There are 252 collectibles in the game. In order to get the trophy you only need to get 75% of them.
Even the developers knew you'd be bored because they're so uninspired (Historical markers, Intel, Tourism flyers etc).

Oh man see once again my brain went somewhere completely different and I thought ya'll were talking about video game collectibles like figurines and stuff released alongside games. Of which the worst has a clear winner
But as far as collectables inside games, riddler trophies hands down. not only did you have to find them you had to work for them after you found them and that overstayed its welcome real fuckin fast
