Why do you even play games if you rush them? It's like the guy a few years ago asking on Reddit if he should go past no return in Cyberpunk 2077 at level 18. The fuck, mate? You missed the whole game!
A bunch of people are like that, too.
It's like buying some expensive bottle of wine, thwn chugging half. And throwing the rest away.
Who said I was rushing? Gathering the collectables is a chore so I just progressed through the story and finished it.
Edit: Also my friend 100% the new Doom game on the highest difficulty in 21 hours. Doom games are short in general.
I did all the fixer missions in Cyberpunk and honestly wish I hadn't bothered.
It destroyed the pacing completely, and did nothing but waste my time. Like sure, they're not automatically generated or anything, but they don't add anything to the game experience.
The same goes for pretty much every open world game that isn't designed around actual exploration. If your map is a sea of icons, your open world game isn't that.
