Hey there, fellow gaming enthusiasts! I wanted to chat with you all about a topic that may seem trivial in the grand scheme of things, but has been on my mind lately: which video game has the best fishing mini-game? It's a tough call, but I have a few contenders in mind.
First off, I was surprised to discover that even Stellar Blade has a fishing mini-game. While it may not make my top 10 list, it's still pretty decent. My personal top three picks, in no particular order, are Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, Red Dead Redemption 2, and World Of Warcraft. I also have to give a shout out to Sega Bass Fishing on the Dreamcast, but since it's a dedicated game, I don't think it counts as a mini-game.
Out of all of these, I think Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the cake for me. It fits in well with the game's context, offers a good challenge, and the graphics are top-notch. But really, I've enjoyed so many fishing mini-games over the years. It makes me wonder, why do developers even include them in the first place? Are they all secretly fishing fanatics in real life? It's not like it's an easy feature to add, and many of these games could do without it. But personally, I appreciate the effort and am always excited to discover a new fishing mini-game. Perhaps the more interesting question is: which game has the most unexpected fishing mini-game?
Switching gears, let's talk about BioShock. It's a unique series because, in my opinion, the story and the action don't quite mesh well together. Don't get me wrong, both are great in their own ways. But I can't help but wonder if separating them into individual games would have made them even better. The original BioShock is often overlooked for its excellent first-person shooter mechanics, but it's the unusual setting and story that tend to stick in people's minds. BioShock 2 was more focused on action, while BioShock Infinite felt a bit odd at times with its lack of interaction with NPCs.
But enough about that, I want to take a moment to point out that Half-Life 2 turned 20 years old this year. It's hard to believe that we still haven't gotten a proper sequel. Sure, there was Half-Life: Alyx, but it was only available on PC VR and didn't really move the story forward. It just retconned the ending of Episode Two. It's a shame, really, especially with all the money that Valve has from Steam. Why not pay someone else to make it or hand it off to the fans? Just a thought.
Now, onto a topic that has been making the rounds lately: the idea that consoles may become obsolete with the rise of Game Pass and streaming. While I do think Game Pass streaming is a great entry-level option, it's limited to 1080p and only includes games in the service. It's like an Xbox Lite, if you will. Personally, I think the Xbox Series S is a better option, as it offers all the games and better graphics. And of course, the Xbox Series X has the best graphics of all.
Lastly, I had an idea a while back that Nintendo should release a Dock Pro for the Switch. It could provide some extra computational power for 4K graphics and storage for upgraded textures. But alas, it seems like the Switch is on its way to being succeeded by a new console. On a related note, I admire how Nintendo only releases a new console when they feel it's necessary, rather than just trying to compete with other companies. It's a refreshing approach in the gaming industry.
Well, that's all from me for now. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on these topics, so feel free to email me at [email] and join in on the discussion. Until next time, happy gaming!
Hey there! Can we take a break from all the serious discussions about the state of the gaming industry and talk about something more lighthearted? I want to chat with you about something that I believe is truly crucial in the world of video games - which game has the best fishing mini-game?
I was inspired to write in after discovering that even Stellar Blade, a game that I wouldn't have expected, has a fishing mini-game. And it's not just decent, it's actually quite good! However, it didn't quite make it to my list of top 10 fishing mini-games. My top contenders are Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, Red Dead Redemption 2, and World Of Warcraft. I also want to give a special mention to Sega Bass Fishing on the Dreamcast, although it's technically a standalone game and not just a mini-game.
For me, Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the crown as the best fishing mini-game. It's well-integrated into the game, not too easy, and the graphics are top-notch. But let's be real, there have been so many great fishing mini-games over the years. It makes me wonder, do all game developers secretly have a love for fishing? Because let's face it, it's not an easy task to create a realistic and enjoyable fishing mini-game. And yet, they keep popping up in the most unexpected places, like in Stellar Blade.
Speaking of unexpected, let's talk about BioShock. It's a series that I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, the action is top-notch, and on the other hand, the story and setting are incredibly unique. But I can't help but wonder, what if the action and story were separated into two different games? Would they be even better? BioShock 2 focused more on action, while BioShock Infinite felt like it was missing the potential for more character interaction and dialogue choices. I hope that the upcoming BioShock 4 will address this in some way.
On a completely different note, I just wanted to mention that this year marks the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2. It's crazy to think that we still haven't had a proper sequel. Yes, there was Half-Life: Alyx, but it was only available on PC VR and didn't really move the story forward. I can't help but feel a little sad that with all the money Valve has from Steam, they haven't given us a proper Half-Life 3 or at least paid someone else to do it.
And while we're on the topic of new releases, I've seen a lot of people talking about how Game Pass streaming on TVs and Fire sticks means that consoles are becoming obsolete. But to me, that's like saying the Xbox Series X isn't necessary because the Xbox Series S can play the same games. It's all about options and tiers, just like how you can choose between a Dyson or an electric toothbrush. Game Pass streaming is a great entry-level option, but it only offers 1080p and is limited to games in Game Pass. I like to call it the "Xbox Lite". For the full experience, the Xbox Series S and X are still the way to go.
Finally, I wanted to share my idea for a Nintendo Dock Pro. With all the talk about the Switch being succeeded, why not release a dock that can upgrade graphics to 4K and have some extra storage for better textures? I know Nintendo doesn't release new consoles as often as Sony and Microsoft, but when they do, it feels like it's for a good reason.
Well, that's all for now. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these topics, so email in your comments to the address below. Until next time!
