 Excerpt from the Eurogamer review (which I highly recommend reading):

quote:

The multitude of menus via which the objects are curated don't help, and nor do the endless onscreen messages. It's hard to get about excited about "2 OF 3 CEREMONIAL FANS FOUND!", no matter how that sentence is capitalised or punctuated. I am not ashamed to reveal that my final tally reads "0% VASES". (Although I am proud to have managed "67% KANPO HERBS".)

It's plausible there are players out there who can indeed be bothered to crack open every crate. And it is possible to complete the game while skipping the collecting business. But the sheer volume of stuff makes it hard to ignore, and so it becomes an annoying distraction.
Stuff like this is something I really hate in modern games. I don't want to be bothered by a bunch of meaningless collectables. To me they only break up the pace and throws immersion out the window. It makes the game feel too much like a video game. So I'm wondering if anybody has the game, or otherwise knows if it's possible to turn of these notifications? If so, I'll probably pick it up real soon, if not, I'll wait for the inevitable GOTY edtion with all the DLC at half price same time next year.

 Is it possible to turn off the collectables notifications?
