Opinion: Natalie cannot stand by collective quests. Actually. Because in Shadows, thanks to Collectibles, she falls in love with the Open World.
Collection quests are lazy. A cheap, simple way to stretch the season. Simply distribute the world of collecting collections in the world and the players clatter the Open World hundreds of hours. I can give you 100 things from a standstill, which I enjoy more and do not let myself be questioned the meaning of my life. And staring at a wall is part of it!
If you like collecting quests and like to chase Collectible axisVements, this is of course absolutely fine! I personally can't do anything with it. Ads such as "1/250 feathers found" make my eye twitch and awaken a bias into the game directly in me: the same formula again; Another open world that gives away your potential.
Assassin's Creed ShadowsSurprisingly, proves the opposite: It is a blunt collective quest that is just opening me a completely new way of experiencing and learning the Japanese Open World.
What does Shadows do differently?
The great thing about my job is that I can and must often try out new things. And sometimes it helps when I am forced to forced my luck. So for writing a guides, I have made it my jobTo find all 69 Jizou statues in the Open World.
After the initial "Boah, no Bock" sigh and turning eyes, the first realization came: This time, something does different from collecting quests.
