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).
