That and GTA 5 is printing money still.

I wonder what, if anything, there is to do besides combat. Can you play tricks on people? One of Sun Wukong's most recognizable traits is that he's mischievous.

It's a vast open world filled with fully realized NPCs Wukong can send d-pics to.

Skyrim - I have the original release version and I think I'll keep it that.I do like fishing. But Skyrim: The Fishing Game isn't enough to make me install it again.

Black Myth: Wukong - all the improvements in modern graphics and they still can't make rock/cliff or other similar textures that bear close inspection (they look great as distant mountains tho). I am still so often disappointed how a scenic/room/forest scene (or an enemy/monster) in a game looks so great overall but then you walk up close to stuff and it's a blurry or oddly abstract mess ... maybe when they get to all 8k textures, all the time.  Edit: not a criticism of this single game, just what crosses my mind with any "graphic showcase" trailer

That is why I prefer games with nice graphics, which do not try at all to be realistic, perfect example for this year would be upcomming Tales of Arise. The surroundings are gorgeous, and they looks like waterpainting in the distance. 💖

LadyC why do you hate fish? What have they really done to any of us ....fishing is the greatest respect you can pay to  any fish. All fishermen know that 🎣

Of course fishermen would say that. Fish on the other hand probably have a very different opinion.

A bit like when men claim catcalls are a sign of respect and appreciation :p

I made the mistake a couple of nights ago to say nothing, when asked what I'd be doing that evening.

Next thing I knew I was on a tiny boat with two other men, skimming out of the bay for nighttime fishing.

Caught my first calamari.

It was an experience. 

They threatened to take me along with them again.

But on a serious note,  legal and regulated  fishing is obviously a critical part of  supplying all our countries with fresh fish ....and I would argue fish is an almost critical part of our diets?

It doesnt matter if its for restaurants,  families or wide spread selling its very good for us and really promotes a healthy\healthier lifestyle

So fishermen do matter 🎣

You have a line with maybe three sinkers (Google squid hook). They have a lot of barbs but no actual big hook that gets stuck in. Lower the line to the bottom, then haul it back and lower it again. As you fish during a dark night, the little light from your lamp should reflect from your sinkers and attract the squid. It latches on and you haul it up. As there is no big hook though, if your movement isn't steady or too slow, it'll move off.

So basically you just lower your line straight down and pull back up.

No bait needed as light is your bait.

I find the whole heading out in darkness more fascinating than the fishing. It has something clandestine about it that appeals to my RPG gamer heart. Also the arriving at the dark side of the island to find tiny little lights dotted around, where the other boats are.

Would totally try to integrate it into a game if I were a dev.

I think my personal objection is less about realism vs. not as it is about graphical consistency.  I'd rather have the graphics all look the same level of quality, no matter what that quality or art style is. What bugs me is because of reasons (performance I assume) , they always focus on player character faces/gear or certain other things (and lately, obsession with "realistic lighting") to look uber awesome, but then you stand that character next to something and ... it really stands out that one has so much more detail/fidelity than the other. Distracting. Probably one reason they like to blur backgrounds so much sometimes, which I also hate.

Borderlands series, since they did all that cell shading or whatever, the look was consistent with everything. Or top-down isometric/3rd person/pulled back viewpoints look consistent because you weren't allowed a super close up view in the first place etc.

Unfortunately I think that is one of the less likely options. I think I read he was a bit burned out on Eora. Couple that with PoE II not selling well and Avowed being the same IP, and I'd say it will be a longer stretch before we see PoE III. 

But I do expect he will return to the franchise down the road.

what's Sawyer working on? New Vegas 2? Shadowrun? The mind wobbles.

Small, non-violent RPG I believe. Hints and Josh-posts have been posted here before. It's supposed to have less then a dozen people working on it. Josh well deserved to do a passion project, so I hope this is it. 

Luckily Psychonauts2 seems to be living up to expectations. Hopefully it will move from "the best game no one bought" to "the best game no one bought, but that everyone played on Game Pass"
