11 Terrible Video Game Collectibles That Were A Waste Of Time
5. Bags - Mirror's Edge
Mirror's Edge prides itself on its fast-paced gameplay. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, over chain-linked fences and towering cranes, is an exhilarating experience as you are chased by the city's security forces.
Mirror's Edge could have benefited greatly from collectibles that were along the path of Faith's run, akin to the ability orbs in Crackdown. However, the bags in Mirror's Edge often have the player stop their flow of insane parkour as they desperately search around for these bright-yellow annoyances, dodging pistol and sniper shots as they do.
Some of these bags are in infuriatingly tight spots, with players often trying multiple times to grab a tricky bag on a high vent, only to fall down again and again. There may be only 30, but many say that's 30 too many.
