Claptrap: First, collect a few brown rocks for me.
New Objective: Collect 139,377 brown rocks
"Damn it. I don’t like collecting cassette tapes, Kojima. It’s one of the worst aspects of Ground Zeroes...You shouldn’t have to collect the story in bits and pieces. Let me guess, you’ll find a snippet of a private conversation between Dr. Emmerich and Dr. Strangelove before the Ground Zeroes mission sitting in a pile of horse shit in a back alley in Afghanistan? And the other tape will be miles away during a different mission, in the back pocket of a POW. What’s the point? Is this how we’re going to end up with 400+ hours of “gameplay” and a massive online hunt for data?"
Focus tester: We'll make players jump through hoops to track down and collect random useless stuff. Great, right?
Player: Not great. Tedious.
Focus tester: Try it before you judge! First assignment: pick up 1,000 Soda Pop Bottles.

"My idea of a fun side mission is to collect somewhere between five and fifteen identical items that have been concealed throughout the level, with no meaningful reward."
