In-Game Collectibles are Digital Garbage

Enjoying games has a lot to do with how they look and how they play. If a game really tries to be visually interesting or provide me with practical gameplay, I am easily pleased by it; I will give it a chance and wholeheartedly attempt to enjoy it. It doesn’t really have to work; watching models skew and clip into outer space is great. Always. However, game makers often fail to exploit that side of broken and silly game elements and instead create useless, broken things that are not fun. These are mistakes and rather than treating them as such and not repeating them, they make games filled to the brim with them. I don’t appreciate any of these mistakes as a consumer but I despise one above all. There is a recurring element that has been plaguing games for years… but is seemingly here to stay.
