It’s amazing how many different implementations of fishing there are, and how the vast majority of these are not fun. You’d think by now that they’d just copy the few that work.
rdr2’s likely is considered a minigame, but i’d argue it’s an immensely satisfying one once you’ve mastered it. i blame the in-game directions for basically misstating the effective strategy. once you’ve mastered it it’s something you will go out of your way to do even though it’s objectively not very profitable comparative to other ways to earn income.
In fantasy games there should be a whole bunch of summon or call animal spells, or maybe just one general one that you can specify what type of animal you want.
LOL Ruined king had a pretty easy system. Pull in opposite direction of fish, release if fish starts pulling or line stresses. Wait for it to tire out again.
Any game that has an AFK fishing mechanic I am all for. Anytime an MMO comes out with one, all my buddies message me and anticipating me to get addicted to it
Up until this thread I had assumed that everyone thinks fishing minigames are super fun. I can’t think of one I haven’t enjoyed. I guess I’m part of the problem.
Fishing in Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess is pretty chill, there is even a dedicated water grove for just that cycling through the seasons when exiting and entering as well~♡
Warframe : oh you need a proper aim at the fish. The certain fish will come at a certain time with a certain bait and certain fishing spear. Also still have a mini game.
I use to drop a skinned deer carcass onto the edge of rivers in the shallow water in RDR2 and stand down stream then snipe the fish that came to nibble with a 22lr so it didn’t destroy the body. The fish would float down river to me and I’d pick them up out of the water. I made a ridiculous amount of money online doing that before they nerfed it.
Before the mini fishing game and quest in Skyrim we caught fish with our bare hands. Honestly I do like the fishing it is kinda relaxing. If you want to make some quick cash go to Markath and fish up junk just outside the Warrens. Dwarven junk that can be smelted down.

I feel like this is an attack on RDR2 and you need to apologize.
Worst one I’ve *ever* played was in RDR2. Just a godawful, terrible fishing minigame.

Wow fishing is pretty chill

There should be a third type in which you stare at the fish intently until they give themselves in due to unprecedented confusion
*Shoots fish with arrow*
“Nice”
Warframe has spear fishing because the water is magnified (don’t ask how) making diving impossible.
This is why Minecraft is the objectively best game ever made, it has both!
I rest my case.
sea of stars had a cool finishing mini-game
You forgot using explosives.
Fishing is the bane of my existence. I absolutely despise it in every single game.
This graphic fails to mention the third option: using explosives to fish. Or, in the case of RE4, using flashbangs.

Genshin’s is horrible 💀
FFXV was best. RDR2 fishing had nothing on it

Minecraft does both!
3 types, some games you just hit a button and all of it is automated.

I cant stand fishing IRL and even more so in games.
That being said I spent an embarrassing amount of time fishing in final fantasy XV because I loved it that much.
Fishing in Terraria is satisfying and overall useful!
Then you’ve never been fishing
Jak & Daxter.
And then there’s the one where you have to wait for the fish to nibble then click a button to reel it in.
Fishing sucks IRL, hence why I hate it in video games
Don’t remember Sega Bass Fishing being either of those lol
Theres a third options, bomb
Warframe : oh you need a proper aim at the fish. The certain fish will come at a certain time with a certain bait and certain fishing spear. Also still have a mini game.
Also sometimes fish hover ABOVE the water.
AC Valhalla has a nice twist
you can go thru the minigame, that although tedious, isnt too hard
​
Or you can just shoot the fish with an arrow.
Both of these are Minecraft, we all know
As long as I can catch fish it is a fun time.
Runescape: click fish, fish go in inventory. When spot is depleted, click fish again

Minecraft having both 😎😎
Someone’s just ragequit Stardew Valley…
I absolutely hate fishing minigames. Anything that’s dependent on RNG I’m just not going to do.
Animal Crossing has Both
Sorry couldn’t hear you over single click OSRS fishing 😎 literally peak fishing gameplay
Then fishing isn’t what you want then you twat.
I honestly thought this was r/gw2 at first 😆
The fishing in Like A Dragon: Ishin and Red Dead 2 are top teir fishing mechanics.

Pro Bass Fishing would like a word with you.
There’s also some where you just have to wait and hit the button at the right time.
Then there’s Wii fishing (from the same one with Tanks) which is hands down the best fishing game ever
Fishing… the one thing Valheim really needs addressed at this point lol.
