If a game has fishing, the game has soul

nothing quite compares to fishing in real life and getting yelled at by dad the whole time

true. Always a chill activity especially if there's an element of collecting rare fish or getting good rewards for catching them

I like watching videos of people getting told by boomers not to fish in the lake. It’s always some fat disgusting slob.

>fishing minigame has random rewards
>playing the fishing minigame can have real impact on your advancement in the main game

I like the idea of fishing simulator games more than actually playing them. Just like real life desu

Trains are the best thing you can add in a game. And I have to be able to walk around the train during the ride

RDR2 is the only game that features fishing where I actually prefer hunting. Maybe it's because going after moving prey and approaching it without it noticing awakes something in me

>>715607172 (OP)
I'm glad it's in the game™ but I never do any fishing. Except that one time in link's awakening

I wonder how the guy who drew this feels about the Epstein list betrayal

For me If a game has fishing and cooking, the game has soul

>>715607172 (OP)
Indeed. The most soulful mechanic in any game. Sometimes I don't even care about the game, just about the fishing lol
Like stardew valley, albion online, genshin,etc. I just play for the fishing part

Why is it that the animal crossing fishing is still my favorite, despite it being so fucking simple and brain dead?

>>715610736
hey man some of those sharks have crazy short time windows if you're using the default rod. Also I love it because you slowly fill up the aquarium and bring it to life

>>715610736
Because time of day, weather, and season goes into account of what type of fish you get and how hard it is to catch.

sega bass fishing is still the best fish sim i’ve ever played. nothing really comes close.

It can also be the worst thing they add, depending on how it's implemented.

i still can't believe we had two entries of "u can do anything!!!" zelda and neither of them had proper fishing

What game has a bad fishing?

>>715607172 (OP)
Fishing is an overdone meme in gaming
I'm gonna make a fishing minigame but instead you're catfishing NPC women on a dating app

>>715611692
sonic adventure lol

I didn't enjoy fishing in A Short Hike. It's too stressful for such a chill game

>>715611601
You can do some redneck fishing in NuZelda with bombs
You don't need a fishing rod to fish

It's even better when the game has nothing to do with fishing, but the devs decide to add it anyway.
Or even better, when modders add fishing to games, cooking and fishing are the best mechanics in any game.

WoW

Cult members don't feel
They either stay on the cult, or leave

>>715611692
Wow
I'm less enjoying the fishing and more waiting for clicks.

>>715611692
Sonic Adventure like the first anon said. When you lose a fish you lose a life and have to get to that same spot again to fish. Youre pretty much at the mercy of the fish when you fish.

>thread about entire fishing minigame
>uhh you can kill fish so technically you're fishing!!!

>>715607172 (OP)
hell yeah

I just wish more jrpgs from snes/ps1 had fishing, like breath of fire.

>>715610639
only ones that spring to mind are WoW and RDR2. too much stick rotation in the RDR2 minigame for it to be fun though, it just gets exhausting after a few mins
