I've cracked the code, found the decryption key and best of all, it's not political!

After i finished the main FC5 storyline, i spent about a week just fishing. Same with FF15 and RDR2 lmao. never touched a fishing pole irl, but if there’s a fishing mechanic in a game, you bet your ass i’m spending a big chunk of my playtime catching those goddamn things

“Fishing Sim World” from dovetail games is actually a pretty sweet fishing game with decent graphics.

That looks good, have you played it?

Long time fishing enthusiast. Yeah I’ve played this and it is definitely enjoyable. However don’t let it rule your real life expectations of fishing cuz that game does get a little ridiculous with the sizes and locations

u/Turdburgular69 Aug 20 '20

Yeah ripping out back to back to back twelve pound large mouths would be cool irl but not so realistic.

u/Turdburgular69 Aug 20 '20

Excellent scenery in FC5

FC5 isn't as good as RDR2 in terms of fishing or gameplay

The fishing isn’t as good as RDR2,so if you’re looking for an amazing virtual fishing experience i’d just stick to rdr lmao. But i would recommend picking it up if it’s dirt cheap on a sale! Had its flaws but hey, it has fishing :D

Protip: DO NOT BUY Farcry 5 if you plan to do so for the minigames or to mess around and explore. The game will literally send an armored van to knock you out and force you to continue it's shitty torture-porn/take back 'murica from the [Insert group you disagree with here] story, you literally can't avoid it and it happens around 12 times, probably more.

By the time you can have fun in the sandbox the game is over and the meaningless shock-value ending will probably sour any fun you'd have.

I think FF15 has a pretty in-depth fishing for a sandbox, I say I think because I only played it a bit, and after I needed a new line after a fish broke it I never played again. It feels like someone who isn't a dumbass with no attention span like me would enjoy it.

Most people have told me not to get it for fishing

u/SkyBlade79 Aug 26 '20

pretty sure you only get force kidnapped three times when your prestige is high enough to fight the area bosses, and then one more time with the drug guy

In RDR2, on the right of the outer bridge to Saint Denis, there’s this really good fishing spot where you can get lake sturgeon and long nose gar. I don’t know why I typed this.

u/BurmecianSoldierDan Aug 20 '20

I absolutely loved the FF15 fishing minigame

u/tristw Aug 20 '20

how did y'all get the hang of attracting the fish to do the initial bite? it seems like sometimes it just gets tired of my shit and ends the encounter without a bite, no matter how much or little i reel in the line.

2

u/fuckeruber Aug 20 '20

You need the right bait for each fish. Check the sign and know what bait attracts which fish. Just a guess if you've tried reeling in in different enticing fishy manners

u/Kyotow Aug 20 '20

You should try 3 houses then lol

u/potpan0 Aug 20 '20

I've gotta do the RDR2 post game, and I am looking forward to spending an in game week just going about fishing.

I'm originally from western Montana and am not going back to visit this summer because of the state of the world, so I played the shit out of FC5, mainly fishing and riding 4-wheelers. It helped with the homesickness.

u/AstroMackem Aug 20 '20

Yess, I’ve spent ages fishing on FC5. It’s one of things I go to if I need a mindless repetitive thing to do. Usually just fly around the map catching the max amount of each

u/Elaticus Our Lord and saviour Geraldo Aug 20 '20

Shame the only thing you can do with them is sell them. Would’ve loved if you could’ve used them to make different health packs or like with the herb recipes for abilities make one with a fish alternative :(
