“mid-game becomes bloated with unrelated systems, loses core fishing loop” (93)
如果一个游戏能够做到像潜水员戴夫一样，在前十个小时层层递进，不断推出新的内容和机制，几乎把握住玩家的所有兴趣点，让玩家能够清晰的找到一条任务主线和核心玩法，那它当然就一定是个非常棒的游戏，潜水员戴夫的前期体验当然可以说是相当优秀的，从对捕鱼开店的一无所知到逐步上手再到看着账号一步步壮大，这个过程永远让人着迷。 或许是水下抓鱼和模拟开店的玩法还不够满足制作组的野心，他们在游戏推进到中期时，加入了他们所能想象到的一切内容。在寿司店后面开辟一个区域用来种菜怎么样？听起来很合理，寿司店为什么不能做汤呢？在旁边开一个养殖场怎么样，这当然是自动化的一环了，必须加上。直到这里我还能够接受，甚至会期待下一个VIP顾客也应该被招募进来，开启新的玩法来实现更高效的一天。 为什么说渔人村是大部分玩家的退坑点？因为上面所讲的良好循环到了这里被完全打破了，游戏在前中期的核心驱动力是白天捕鱼，晚上卖寿司这套黄金闭环，玩家能获得即时的财富和成就感。进入渔人村后，上来就是一个无敌雷霆以获取“信任度”为理由的，大量传统RPG式跑腿找东西支线。而且这些支线的内容量和信息量都极低，导致我甚至以为这是某种无限通马桶任务，原本的捕鱼玩法到这里就像是被制作组忽的一下扔到了游戏外面，“别想着捕鱼那些了，来看看我们做的这个大主城！”，这种极强的割裂感和强任务锁式的流程推进，说实话我确实喜欢不起来。 渔人村分为上下两层，面积相当巨
