Fishing

[LunarGatta]

This is gonna make my rip my eyes out. Who the hell designed the fishing and why is it so atrociously broken?

How do you screw up the implementation so bad that it's impossible to complete?

I've been here for 40 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minutes because it just DOES NOT WORK.

Yup fishing is so hard. Completed that fishing quest and i doubt i gonna fishing anytime soon or even forever in this game.

Throw the line in, move the stick up, move the stick down. Certain fish bite certain lures. It's not difficult.

I've been doing this for 40 minutes, completely bs "advice."

This mechanic is genuinely broken and whoever was in charge of implementing this should be fired. This is atrocious.

I just fished up golden, platinum, sushi, arrow, bowfins etc. It's not broken, you're just not doing it correctly.

You cast the line.
You flick the stick up and then down, do it in rotation and you'll hear a reeling sound. Alternatively, you can rotate your stick and when you do the fish will be drawn to the lure. Depending on the fish, it will bite. The starter lure='s less chance, but you should start with an emerald lure, hold LB and swap to it when the rod is out. Sushi fish bite immediately on it.

LOL, it isn't working for me either. I have played with all kinds of different stuff and it doesn't seem to work. Maybe they will patch it, but don't let it get under y skin THAT bad!! lmao. You can get fish with the net if you want, I've done that, but you wont get any guild points. Yup, frustrating deal. Hope your enjoying the rest of it so far. I'm pretty pleased. I set my expectations realistically tho, and wasn't expecting Wilds to usher in the second coming of the messiah. Not suggesting that's you at all, just some folks seem to be unhappy for what I would consider to be pretty petty or, yep, UNrealistic expectations. Anyway, as far as FISHING? Lmao and smh, i do hope some improvements happen, or, that I figure out what I'M doing wrong, cause I haven't caught nary one.

skill issue in a monster hunter game is not an uncommon complaint... this however.... i have no further words

I haven't done fishing yet in wilds, but I do have to wonder why everything these days needs to be a mini game. Fishing in a video game should be as simple as casting the line, see bobber bob, push button to reel in fish.

This crap involving twirling a control stick to reel it in, or making sure you have to be there fishing at the first light of the fifth day to catch a specific fish or use multiple lures is just terrible.

If I want complex fishing, I'll do it irl, and even then it's still easier to fish than in a video game.

they did a study on this. square enix was the first to do so. their new final fantasy 7 remakes have a large amount of mini games in them. the survey suggests people that play games are generally younger than 25. Their attention spans have been developed over time with access to social media, youtube, ad blocker etc. Attuning to an outlook of craving instant satisfaction and fast moving parts. Mini games break up the monotony of whatever the main progression is. In FF case, tiring of doing MSQ? Well there's a whole mini game castle you can go to and interact with for multiple hours if you want.

In Monster Hunters case. Instead of hunting you can fish.

Fishing would be fine if it was actually consistent and didn't give me an extreme desire to rip my eyes out in frustration at it not working for an hour.

not really, i knew it existed but i dont think any of the request really forced it, plus in the last games it wasn't nearly as clunky so i didn't mind to it.
