    I mean when you finish a game you use the most excessive tools to finish the last mundane tasks.

    I hate it when games force you to fish to get to 100%. It just isn’t fun to do in most games

    Edit: spelling

      Then you come across a game like Far Cry 5, which is mainly about gunning down fanatics, like most Far Cry games. But it has surprsingly good fishing. Although it’s mainly down to the enviroment, the actual fishing mechanic isn’t amazing.

      It captured that feeling of standing on the bank of a lazy river, seeing a deer through the foggy reeds in morning, as fish catch insects on the surface. Or watching over a mountain lake as the sun sets in the distant mountains and a bird circles overhead.

        I don’t know if I simply didn’t understand the mechanic wrong or gave up to fast, but for some reason I never warmed up to the fishing. I just stood there and wobbled the fishing line, but nothing bit. I have basically 100% the game, the only thing I skipped was the few fiahing missions. But if you have tips please feel free to tell me, mb I will go back :)

          The basic fishing rod is basically a scam, in that it’s almost impossible to catch anything but the most basic fish. The “natural rod” you can buy from vendor takes 2 out of the 3 stats on the basic from 2->4 for almost nothing. And some fishing spots have an upgraded rod already.

          As for how it works: It’s basically like fishing with a spinner. You throw it out and slowly reel it in as they swim towards lure/bait, and you pull/click as they bite. Then you pull the rod opposite the direction it’s swimming and try to reel in a bit at the same time(if it’s swimming towards you, just reel). As the line turns from green to red, you stop moving and reeling in to let the line “cool down” before doing it again until it’s at the shore(I often recommend standing a little bit into the water if it’s shallow, since standing too far back will prevent catches)…

          There’s also different bait depending on wherer you are fishing; Mountain lake bait wont always in a river.

          And once you have a hang of the basics, there are two quest chains that give you high level fishing rods.

      I usually Google whether fishing is necessary. I think for FF15 and Sea of Stars it wasn’t so I didn’t bother.

    Ah, yes. Having lots of money and an expensive sports car = completing/winning the game. Sure.
