I used to fish using hand grenades or PE4 gaffer-taped to a rock when I was a soldier, works for sea fishing as well as rivers and lakes...
What do you think of it? My interest took a bit of a nosedive after seeing the Steam rating and checking some of the user reviews. (I didn't read any "pro" reviews yet.)
I played the game on the PS4 originally, I'd quite happily say that it's my favourite game of all time. The PC port was a bit of a disaster, very poorly optimised with ridiculous VRAM requirements (nearly 14Gb with everything on ultra @ 2k resolutions). I had it running fine on my 3070ti with 8Gb of VRAM using a mix of ultra high and medium settings...it ran fine at 1440p at around 70+ fps.
Can anyone recommend a "mature" MMO on the scale and scope of Elder Scrolls Online, but with more realistic gameplay? Stupid X4 Foundations is ruining all my other games, LOL, with its realistic economy and supply chains and trades and such. The economy in ESO is abysmal, as is the inventory system, the level scaling, etc. etc. etc. Add to that the Lore being thrown out for the sake of virtue signaling, and I'm actually kinda annoyed with ESO. This from a guy who plays it every day because of the addictive Farmville endeavor system and daily rewards!
Actually, this game I'm looking for need not be an MMO. I was recently having fond memories of Dragon's Dogma, a single-player game, but I've played that to death and back. At the very least I'd like a good, modern RPG in the vain of ESO or DD. I'm not looking for The Witcher or any of those "play an existing character" game. I wish Capcom had released their MMO version of Dragon's Dogma outside of Japan. To this day I have no idea why they never did...
Oh well, maybe I should just keep playing X4 and save some money, LOL. Either that or I can visit a hypnotist and have my memories of Dragon's Dogma erased so I can play it from the beginning totally fresh and new
I spent a summer doing this very thing after a surgery.
I'd recommend Kenshi, I see you've been thinking about it before but I don't know if you ended up playing it. Be warned it is extreme jank, you need to commit to it to some degree as the early game is rough and bounces people, and it's a sandbox where you get what you make of it. I'd avoid wikis for it as much as possible as it's much better blind, imo.
I've been tempted by this space game in the past. My problem is that I'm already at space game saturation. I like an alternative where I'm running around in (maybe skimpy, maybe not) armor, chopping wood and fighting with swords, bows and arrows, and magic!
I've been playing Wartales
Save 50% on Wartales on Steam
Wartales is an open world RPG in which you lead a group of mercenaries in their search for wealth across a massive medieval universe. Explore the world, recruit companions, collect bounties and unravel the secrets of the tombs of the ancients!store.steampowered.com
It's pretty cool. kind of like battle Brothers but with more Xcom like grid based turn based battles. You explore a world map then when you attack or get attacked it drops you into the tactical layer.
It also has some resource management as you need to feed and pay your mercenaries. I'm not very far in yet but there seems to be a fair bit of depth to it
Thanks. It claims min reqts of a GTX 970 (which happens to be what I have) but by the sound of it I should wait until that glorious day when I finally upgrade my GPU (eyeing up a 4070 right now), some years late because cryptomining.
Hmm, it's on my wishlist but not showing as discounted here in the UK...Rimworld on offer on steam
Tempted. Got lot on with work and home life though….
If you're upgrading your graphics card, I'd seriously suggest looking at one of the AMD cards as a serious alternative to the RTX 4070. I had a rather good RTX 3070ti FTW3 ultra until last week and like you, was intending on looking to the 4070 or 4070ti as a possible future upgrade.
The problem with AMD cards is they come with AMD drivers.
