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...

Look, it's simple. If the game has a fishing minigame, it's a good game. If it doesn't, it's bad.

Nah, I don't get distracted so easi... oh, a nirnroot!

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....

"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’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…

Me starting yet afuckingnother Baldurs Gate 3 playthrough

I found all 900 pinecones

I spent quite some time trying to catch the biggest fish I could in Orcarina of Time

Anybodybknownthe source of this painting?

I spent so much time at the Gold Saucer in FF7 that Sephiroth had to check into a retirement home before the final battle.

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 ~~wasted~~ enjoyed so much time just listening to music and fishing in that game.

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

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.

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.

Sounds like you'd love Dredge

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.

Destiny 2 added fishing and it was a game changer

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.
