11 Terrible Video Game Collectibles That Were A Waste Of Time
3. Hints - The Last Guardian
This isn't really a collectible in the traditional sense, as you're not collecting anything physically. Yet you will have to spend a lot of time waiting to "collect" these hints if you want the 'All Talked Out' trophy.
Throughout the game, narrative lines may play to push the player in the right direction. Listening to all 95 of them unlocks the achievement, and it's an absolute nightmare.
Firstly, there's no checklist to tell how many hints you've heard. Players also have to be standing in just the right place for hints to play. Some players stated they waited for up to 30 minutes for hints to appear on their screens. Checkpointing at the wrong time can also glitch the hints, never to be played again.
Waiting around for these bothersome soundbites is a tedious task, and also hurts the pacing of the story. Three of these hints involve denying Trico food to collect them. PETA will be having words.
