Clicking a button that turns off notifications takes the joy out of gaming?

That was not his point. He was saying he liked how the game never tells you that there are 120 shrines or 900 kurok seeds or whatever collection aspect there is. There is not even a way to turn that on. I know those numbers cause google/internet and you can do that easy enough.

But he is saying not seeing 19/120 on his loading screen makes the game not feel like a chore or he has to do something. When he beat Ganon and the beasta and memories (basically the only thing the games say there is this many of) he felt like he could put the game down if he wanted. Didn't see this 87/120 shrines found or 134/900 kurok seeds or somethign and make him feel lik ehe has to complete them or something.

I'm sure you guys have experienced that in some game at some point. I beat ff15 and found the game to be a big dissapointment, but looking at the trophies, there was like 3 I didn't get. Thus I forced myself to play some more to get them. The game being as bad as it is, I acutally managed to stop myself and am one short still. But those trophies/achievement turned the game into a job/chore after I beat it just to get it "complete" BOTW takes that away. Even when you know how many of something is there, you don't have the game basically telling you that you are incomplete.

I never look at trophies and If I don't want to achieve something then I don't worry about it.  What you're basically saying is that because some people can't control themselves, other people shouldn't have something which they enjoy.  It's the easiest thing in the world to allow people to turn off notifications and to put stats on a page that no one ever has to look at if they don't want.
