> - There's lots of junk items with (almost) no purpose that you can pick up.
A pity the remake does not have an option to switch off all the red herring items. Red Herring items really spoil a game…. it’s an idea that fortunately modern games seem to have left behind.
This is the sort of thing a remake should fix or give option to fix.
They should fix the “hidden button” problem too.
Presumably it’s not too late for NightDive to do further updates.
I spent my first 5 hrs collecting all the dog tags automatically, as naturally in any modern game this would lead to some kind of achievement.
I only found out they serve no purpose at all when my inventory was completely full and I had to check on reddit if I even needed the damn things.
I played the original, but my memory is somewhat hazy given its been ~30years. On balance I really like this remake, but it does carry some of the original's warts too.
Especially if you have limited inventory space. If you have plenty of space for the more useless items, then there isn't much harm (achievements would be nice).

Easy to imagine a "no useless items" option in gameplay settings.
If a game has Red Herrings then I just stop interacting with items entirely.
When items always have a purpose then they attract attention.
Working out what is useful/useless isn't fun.
