This is me in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Plot mission: They kidnapped my SON! Arthur, we’re forming up a posse and riding into town to get my son back! [yellow mission marker appears on the map]
Me: Oh, that’s awful. I’m sorry to hear about that. [Ok, so I still need to find and kill a cougar for my satchel. Let’s see, the best spawn point for cougars is a few days ride away up north…]

So many of the missions in that game are cliffhangers and imply that you need to do something now. But, I’m always off picking flowers, hunting rare beasts, looking at treasure maps, and so on.
It actually ends up ruining the plot to a certain extent. Like, the plot missions are all about how the gang is desperate for money, meanwhile I just finished a treasure hunt and brought back $1000 and donated it to the camp. I’m financially supporting this group of 20ish people, plus I’m feeding them with all the meat I bring back for the stew (even if I’m only allowed to have stew every couple of days). Dutch keeps saying we need one last score so we can get on a boat to Tahiti. I’m like “give me a couple of days and I’ll buy first class tickets for all of us.”
I get the feeling that by Chapter 6 you’re supposed to be losing confidence in Dutch (as a player, as Arthur you still seem to have confidence in him for some reason). But, for me, he was an idiot many chapters ago because he was suggesting all these illegal schemes to make money, when my hunting, herbing, etc. was bringing in the big bucks.
And, I’ve barely played the fishing minigames yet, let alone the legendary fish fishing games…
Mmm, Arther, you’ve been gone a long time… Come back to camp. Please?
Nah, I’m good, I still have 11 different fish to catch and this mutant one around all these hillbillies is bugging me.
Look, it’s simple. If the game has a fishing minigame, it’s a good game. If it doesn’t, it’s bad.
thank you for finally validating my stardew valley
obsessionhobbyThe latest Yakuza game has a fishing game and segas bass fishing emulated in it. It’s an amazing game so this checks out.
Does Minecraft’s fishing mechanic count?
The only rule is, you must use a traditional fishing technique or implement to aquire fish or fish material.
So yes, Minecraft is a classic example of a good game!

Nah, I don’t get distracted so easi… oh, a nirnroot!
I’ve got 170+ hours on my Fallout 4 save on Xbox and another 80 hours on my PC copy.
The other night I spent the over an hour trying to build a bathroom for the bar in my settlement. I had to make it, destroy it, and make it again out of different material. I only actually put a toilet and sink in one of them…
That’s why Sim Settlements was a godsend
I did just look up SIM Settlements 2 and after dealing with vanilla for so long, it seems overwhelming.
SS2 is actually pretty easy. There’s also a voiced quest line that’s a lot of fun and instructions on the basics. Basically, you put down a plot and it builds itself into a random structure with a specific purpose. There’s some complicated mechanics if you truly want to dig into it (usually when playing survival), but it’s not necessary to leverage the plot system. The plots handle beds, stores, food, entertainment, etc. for you. All the workshop tools by Kinggath are quality improvements too. He has a YT channel explaining everything
I’m making a push right now to get the story finished (both sides) so I can grab those achievements, and then I’ll be adding lots of mods.
I have over 500 hours on mine, still haven’t finished the main storyline.
Me starting yet afuckingnother Baldurs Gate 3 playthrough
My issue is I want to complete all the side quests but don’t want to save them till the end so I try to mix them in as I go, slowly start to lose interest in the game and even tho I put in 150 plus hours I never finish the main story line…
I spent quite some time trying to catch the biggest fish I could in Orcarina of Time
Anybodybknownthe source of this painting?
🙌🙌🙌 thank you!
Minecraft has fishing… one of my metrics for me “beating” Minecraft is getting a pole that is enchanted and pulls other enchanted items out of the water.
Ive
wastedenjoyed so much time just listening to music and fishing in that game.I spent so much time at the Gold Saucer in FF7 that Sephiroth had to check into a retirement home before the final battle.
Twilight Princess had two separate fishing minigames, you get a fishing rod and can use a few things you find around the world as bait and can just…fish in any bit of water (I think you can find a loach in some obscure room in the water temple, of all places) and then there’s the fishing hole chick who’s the sister of the boat ride chick and the lantern oil guy, what’s her name? Where you go out in the boat.
Hahaha me in Xenoblade. I just started it and got to district 9 and haven’t done any of the main story. Just talking to every NPC and exploring around trying to fill in the map as well as do side quests. Still no idea what this games about
There was a solid 6 months where i think i was the only enhancement shaman in TBC with the blacksmithing hammers (on the server) and i used to absolutely terrorize STV during the fishing extravaganza. I never lost and no one even so much as emoted to me when that event was live.
RIP Rinkles.
Damn, those wounds look lethal.
