You hold RT/R2 to cast, and then LT/L2 to strike and you then reel the fish in with RT/R2. You get a tutorial on how to fish, and the controls are just fine. Once you do that, you are immediately thrown into fishing off the shores of a river. One of those things is way better and easier than the other, and I will explain this later in the things I liked and things I didn’t like.įirst off, you create your own character by choosing from very limited options. What I can surely say though, is that in 99.9% of the cases it was pikes who did it, since we dont have any sharks in our lakes here in Sweden.The Fisherman – Fishing Planet Is a game where you have two main things to do: Equip your tackle for certain types of fishing using a large number of tackle options - and I mean large - and then finding a place to fish. I've been fishing irl for close to 30 years now, I dont think I can even count how many lures I've lost from lines being biten off. All I did was saying they have big and sharp teeths, and they DO bite through lines irl as well. I didnt compare a pike with a shark, I didnt mention anything about the game mechanics, nor did I mention anything about how thick lines they do bite through or not. Dont really understand what youre trying to do here. In real life pike will take a fair time to chew through a heavy mono leader, especially if small, In game, hook a pike on a mono or fluro leader and it snaps instantly, no matter the poundage of the leader. Not saying that titanium should not be used for pike species, just that if you have a strong leader of appropriate strength it should not snap instantly, and you should still get a chance of landing the toothy criter. I believe some one has advised them wrongly about fish teeth and gear needed. The whole system leader system is broken in my opinon. Add in that the new leaders break while rod is in the rod holder, with no additional pressure and drag set below breaking point of leader and line. The game makers have made it so you cannot catch them with out titanium leaders. Yes you loose less with a titanium leader, but you can still catch them on mono or fluro in real life. Also the teeth of a pike are set apart so are they not rubbing on the leader like a shark does. They have big teeth, but not serated teeth like a shark.
