Fishing DLC

[Warlord829895]

Hey guys,
What do you think about an fishing DLC for Way of the Hunter? Similar to the minigames in Far Cry 5 where you can hunt and fish outside the main story. I really like the atmosphere in Far Cry 5 and the posibillitys for hunting and fishing. I think the devs are doin a great job with this. I often think about fishing when i see how much creeks, lakes and rivers are on the maps and i mean that would be a nice feature for the game.
In short, it's about the possibility of developing a realistic outdoor game from a pure hunting game.
What do you think about that? And to the developers: is this up for debate? sometime?

There are many fishing games competing for this segment. That's an area of its own. I wouldn't waste time on it in a hunting game. If you want to hunt, you won't necessarily fish. For a fishing game I would do more research and look for a separate game with good reviews.

A nice thing would be a group of fishes in a pond, or a jumping trout in a stream ... . As an ambience animal, so to speak. I think ambience animals are important to fill the maps with more life here and there.

Ok. Thx @Heavens for the link. I havent seen this Thread.
@Mauserich
For sure. Ure right. There are a lot of fishing games on the Market but there is no game what implements both. Hunting and fishing. (with exception of Far Cry 5) This could be a real unique selling point for this game and it could enlarging the current Player base. More players, more money. More content, longer Life time for the game. And btw, A boat for crossing this damn large lakes or for waterfowl hunting would be nice to!

I can think of games that have hunting and fishing in them, several Assassin's Creed, several Far Cry, and they all are stupid. Fishing sims do fishing well, let's leave them there. What's a DLC for fishing anyway, grenades, dynamite? A large barrel of fish?

Very relieved to hear fishing is right out.

Boats? Fast travel and running will get you around the lakes. Hunters don't usually carry row boats around with them.

[Warlord829895]

Hunters usually dont using teleporting fast travel like some Star trek ♥♥♥♥♥♥ too... And now?

Red Dead Redemption 2 has both hunting and fishing for what it is worth.

I'm all for it, if it ever goes that way in Way of the Outdoorsman

[Warlord829895]

Never played RedDead but good to know. But it's also just implemented as sideshow at the Main game. Just like in Far Cry.
Way of the Outdoorsman...?
Why not?

[dbond1]

Yes, in RDR 2 both activities are rather simplified I reckon, but the animals and fish are beautifully rendered, and the world around you is too. Pulling steelhead out of a glacial lake, standing knee-deep in snow whilst the steam rises off the crystal-clear water is incredibly immersive

[Warlord829895]

Im with you, immersion is essential for a game. WOTH looks great and a bit much more possibilitys and a bit more species on the maps would bring it on the top of the hunting/outdoor games. The Option for fishing will be the cherry on the cake.
You have make me courious on RedDeadRedemption. I think i should try it out.

Far Cry 6 has hunting/fishing - with any weapon...
Assassins Creed Valhalla has hunting and fishing; it's simplified, and is part of some side quests. The graphics rival any program out there and if you're into behaving like a Viking, its the game for you, when you're not hunting. Very immersive, and your decisions, even casual ones, will change the thread permanently. Not a simulation, an RPG.
So, no fishing in Tikamoon, Please!

They do when it's a game mechanic.
And they don't carry boats. You gonna add Marinas? Maybe a management sub-game; open a bar and grille fresh fish? Sorry, I'm being sarcastic; it just doesn't make sense, as there are so many games in each sport that crossover seems a bit too much. Done hunting, load the fishing game; done fishing, back to WOTH.

[Warlord829895]

And they will carry a boat when it's a game mechanic. It's the same discussion like the using/supporting with mods. If you dont like it, leave it. No one will force you to install a DLC that you dont like. In my oppinion it would be a bit more realistic and immersive when there was a fishing Option implemented. Maybe for 30-40 bucks. I would buy it!
However, I wouldn't spend a dime on ambient animals.

[6Taylor4]

I'm fine with the devs' decision, it's not in the plans, so not fiscally feasible, nor desirable.
No fishing for us!

[Warlord829895]

Yes, ure right.
Hunting and fishing, together at the same Map, in the same Game.... For sure Some simple designed Brains could be overwhelmed by so much stuff and thats a Thing that we dont want. Definitly!

[dbond1]

Had a look through my screenshots and found a number of fishing ones from RDR 2 (and hunting ones too)

This one is closest to what I described above. I play this game in first person, but took the shot in third.

[Warlord829895]

Very nice! You can switch ingame between first and third person? Didnt know this. I thought this game is third person only. Good to know. I will try out the game at this weekend. Im courious to see how it looks.
Thx.
