I've gotten to the point that I look up if there's a good reward for it. Like, does this run through the whole game and build up to at least a nice cutscene or piece of gear? Alright. Annoying, but doable.

A piece of golden shit? Never again. Never a-fucking-gain, I swear I had a faster time pulling KOS-MOS in XC2 than hunting down so many Koroks.

You're not supposed to find all the koroks. The golden shit is to tell you that you did the wrong thing.

it's not about the reward, it's about sending a message (of dopamine to your brain)

I got the spaceship car in grand theft auto V. I never felt so empty after spending so much time on something so pointless. Ah well, at least it wasn't flying rats in GTA IV.

I remember being absolutely stoked when I unlocked the SpaceDocker, but only because of the conspiracies surrounding it.

Even then, only if the process is fun. Like collecting the thingamajigs (it's been a while) in Crackdown. I remember just moving around in that game being fun

Oh hell yeah, running and jumping around in Crackdown was an absolute blast. They had the exploration down perfectly, you really felt yourself get better at navigating, and the reward was just making it even better.

When i read the post, crackdown is the only game that cane to mind where i actually collected things. It was a mix between i was roaming around anyway and you got a reward if i remember correctly, it wasn't just an achievement.
