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.
this meme applies to a long range of games, from the coffin of andy and leyley to read dead repdemption to mabye a civ game
And then there’s Dark Chronicle 2, that added golf into the mix.
Destiny 2 added fishing and it was a game changer
Sounds like you’d love Dredge
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.
“Go on main character. You can take your time to help people by fetching granny’s spoons to finish up cooking her family recipe. Don’t worry, the main villain won’t start the blood ritual and conduct human sacrifices yet to consume the world and take power, until you return to the arbitrary main quest lines, such as the king waiting for you on his throne to personally order you to save the world. He’s been sitting in the throne room for two years now since you escaped prison and the army of main villain’s ghouls attacked and ate thousands of civilians.”
Sidequest and open worlds are the reason I often don’t finish games and I actually hate that. it’s hard enough for me to get immersed in the stories but the free roaming makes me lose interest pretty fast.
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
“Geralt, it’s me, Yennefer, you haven’t seen me in a long time and Ciri is back and in danger!”
“Oh wow, that’s the biggest thing that has happened to me in a long time, so I’m going to become the best gwent player in the north”
I knew I wouldn’t have to go too far down in the comments to find someone mentioning Gwent. I spent more time in Gwent than I did playing anything else in The Witcher 3. Same goes for the Triple Triad game in FFVIII, except I actually finished FFVIII lol
One morning I was playing and realized I had about 100 hours played according to my save files. 12% complete. So I am like WTF. Until I checked my inventory. Man, some of that fish has got to have gone bad, right? Been in that sack for weeks.
I spent quite some time trying to catch the biggest fish I could in Orcarina of Time
Me starting yet afuckingnother Baldurs Gate 3 playthrough

Exactly
Had a good laugh at the “Leonie” 😄
I spent so much time at the Gold Saucer in FF7 that Sephiroth had to check into a retirement home before the final battle.
