What's a great minigame within another game?
-
Let's be real, Witcher 3 is just a Gwent launcher.
Also I've definitely played more Pazaak than KOTOR.
I literally could never understand how to play Pazaak. To me it's just a weird version of Blackjack

The Wolfenstein 3D minigame contained within Wolfenstein The New Order is probably the best one I've come across. I may be biased though since Wolfenstein 3D is probably one of my Top 5 all-time favorite games.
In DOOM Eternal you can play through all of DOOM and DOOM 2 at the Slayer’s desk in the fortress. I dig that

I loved the FF8 card game. It was so sad that you had to choose to used up some cards if you wanted some equipments if I recall correctly. It would be nice to not have to choose to keep all cards or have all equipments os spells

I hate minigames, the only one i tolerated was Gwent in Witcher 3.
Same. I’m playing GTA San Andreas on mobile (through Netflix if you interested) and while the game holds up, all the minigames suck ass. I’m likely not going to complete a single one. Maybe I’ll cave and do burglaries for infinite sprint, but probably not.

The mini pinball game, at the top-right of the Family Guy pinball table(2007).
It is fast paced and well put together.

In real life? Nope. I don't think I have the patience for that, sitting perfectly still for hours on end. I would probably enjoy the scenery and the vibe though.
I haven't fished in probably a decade and am definitely not an expert. With that said, there's many different kinds of fishing. I liked lure fishing partly because of the lack of just sitting. You're constantly reeling in so the spinners and feathers create an enticing target under the water. There's also fly fishing, which is usually done in a river either from shore or wading in it. You're constantly re-adjusting where the fly lands and drifts. But even if you're doing the "just wait for it" style fishing, there's spots where you will constantly get bites and pull in fish. Enough that you have your pick if you're taking them with you and not doing catch and release...

The Chao racing from Sonic Adventure on the dream cast. You could take the memory card out and use it as a tamagotchi to care for the little guy and make it train so it gets faster and stronger in the real game.
It got no better than that.

Caravan from Fallout: New Vegas has a notoriously bad tutorial, but is easy enough to grasp and fun as an early-game money source. Would have benefited from a Gwent-style sidequest chain.

Demontower, found within Night in the Woods. That could easily be a standalone short game

Triple triad + Card mod ability = broken game
It might have had a factor in my not enjoying the Triple Triad mini game, as I sometimes get bogged down in just collecting cards to convert into spells and items. Also, the Queen of Cards is a huge pain. And the CC Club sidequest.
::: spoiler CC Club side quest and Queen of Cards spoilers
Completing the CC Club side quest is necessary to complete prior to Disk 4 if you want to have access to them on Disk 4 (they're inside the Ragnarok). Queen of Cards is available on Disk 4 by default (she's on the Lunar Pod crash site in Esthar), so you can just play her there for a quicker access to the cards only accessible through her.
:::I loved Triple Triad, and loved the way it broke the game!
Shout out to all the hours I wasted soft resetting so I could eliminate the Random rule from Ellone. Honorable mention to the Laguna card, which refined into 100 Heroes and made every single fight after it complete child's play.

It’s always fishing.
Loved the fishing in FF15.

If you liked it enough, you could win another copy after you refined it by playing against the right people. I think there was only one card you couldn't get back again, and all the rest were fair game.

I've never fished at all, but I've seen some people do some sort of fishing (with a fishing pole) along the coast. I haven't really stayed long to observe what they do, but I saw that it involves a lot of waiting, and I feel increasingly awkward watching a guy do some fishing so I left. It might be that the spot that guy chose (or the area in general) just doesn't have enough fish, being in the city and all. That, and pop culture (including some anime) characterizing fishing as needing patience and the capacity of being incredibly still while being capable of incredibly fast movements. Like a ninja meditating, only to do intensely quick movements to pull in the fish even before it had the chance to react.
Thanks for clarifying the misconceptions I had. I'll look forward to having an opportunity to do some lure and fly fishing.

The full 4K version of Timesplitters 2 inside Homefront: The Revolution, but you have to play something like 75% of Homefront to reach it. I'll reach it one of these days.

I always found the Gilgamesh -> Holy War conversion far more useful for the Omega Weapon fight, especially if the fight is over before I even manage to use half of the 10 items the conversion gives me.
With a low enough level, and a powerful enough junction setup, every single fight (even the final boss fight) is complete child's play. Too bad I didn't already know that on my first playthrough.
