the yellow bar that pulses by is the timing for the different reel-in actions.....for example...reel in for one full pulse of the bar, when it gets to the end...stop reeling for one full pulse of the bar and repeat for 'stop and go' ...works the same for twitch and jigging

[@randomman5521]

@@davebaker1325 they are trying to be friendly to the fish. The world today is filled with little cry babies that don’t want to hurt FAKE animals

[@P.W.R.]

On smaller fish, the player character will lip the fish, but the larger ones are held with two hands. At the very least, EW should show the character lipping the bass and supporting the belly with the other hand. That would be the proper way to hold a bass. Pike and walleye lipping would be out of the question. Those fish need two handed holding since they have gnarly teeth. There is plenty of room to improve the experience down the road and I am sure EW realizes this. CoTW:TH was pretty barebones when that was brand new so theAngler will initially be in the same boat (puns :P). This has a chance to turn into the best fishing simulator after some updates.

[@P.W.R.]

@@randomman5521 The irony with this is the fact that in The Hunter, you have to kill animals in order to get trophies, XP, and cash. I understand the whole ethical fishing and hunting thing, but this is a video game!

[@Warsect_]

@@P.W.R. hopefully EW will let us make fish mount replicas since that's an ethical way to mount a fish you caught instead of taxidermy if theyre going the forced catch and release route

[@springsm5545]

I wonder if EW would ever consider support for Tobii eye tracker. It might make operations like twitching or jigging less jerky if you free hand it and don't use the button, but also, the camera can make things difficult while reeling in as well

[@wakevnhy6893]

Vertical jigging for crappie with a super light set up is really fun on this game, I fish for crappie like that in real life so it’s cool to see a fishing game put that in.

[@melsgaming375]

Every time I read it as “jiggling"…😳 Great video man!

[@hunterpro_1]

id watch flantro jiggle.

[@devenbereznoff244]

Graphically, the game looks great. Mechanically, it looks a little too arcade like for a “fishing sim”. You can’t keep fish, which is nuts. And there’s not even an animation for pulling a fish out of the water. And no trophy lodge. I was excited for this game, but after watching gameplay I’m just gonna wait for updates to see if they can actually make the game stand out from other games like Fishing Planet.

@@cast_ironcook6839 mini game? It's literally an open world it might look smaller when you see it played on KZbin but they can't put everything they play into a video otherwise your gonna be watching a 3 hour video

[@P.W.R.]

What's funny is, EW put out a survey not too long ago and a few of the questions had fishing related DLC stuff in there. First thing that came to my mind was a fishing addon, which I thought was a cool idea. I expressed my interest in the responses for a fishing DLC for Call of the Wild. As much as EW asked about fishing in the survey, it seemed like they were serious based on the questions. So not only were they serious, they made an entire new game. If I am being objective, a fishing DLC seems out of the scope of Call of the Wild: theHunter so I can see why it was just made it into its own full game. On the plus side, this allows EW to expand the "Call of the Wild" line of simulator games now. They could create a whole series of outdoor sports games.

[@johnlewin9930]

Love Your vids

[@TaterTotGaming]

The only thing you've ever caught a catfish on is hot dog? Never done that personally but try a whole box of regular corn flakes, a can of spinach and mix it all up. Put it in the fridge in a bowl over night cover with press wrap and go fishing next day. Roll into balls and put on a hook.

[@jackncoke8527]

[@Wokege_]

I think there is too much fish to catch and the reeling doesn't feel right. I mean that when the character reels 200+ meters the lure actually moves just 10 meters (the animation is just too fast) Still excited to try the game, I just hope they assess these problems.

Catfish love leaches

[@justinhaynes917]

It's literally a cast and reel game. There is no fish off mechanic when you don't put the rod down when they jump(there should be). It is OK for a little while, and then you realize that nothing about the game takes any real skills. You simply get the right setup.. cast out and reel in. The legendaries can be kinda difficult, but even then... they have like 6 total right now... 3/5 Stars.

[@nathanwilliams1882]

Can you get the angler on Play station 4 brother

[@brettyoung3138]

Curious if there is some sort of trolling system in the game? My family and I do a lot of trolling in the summer for walleye and pike, and think it would be cool to be able to set up rods on your boat and troll through the lakes!

[@user-yz3et4lq9y]

I can't believe nobody answered your question yet amigo, there is no trolling in the game whatsoever. It is an arcade game friend, just like all the other crap that's been put out in the last 10 years, there hasn't been a truly good realistic fishing sim since Sierra's Trophy Bass 3 from 20+ years ago, sadly.

The only thing for me is how much the rod bends if a rod could bend that much it would snap. But I feel this could be easily fixed.

[@EyyyTone]

Looks realistic to me.

[@bushwoogie]

It bends about right. You've obviously never used a good rod

[@Default71677]

Knowing ew they would fix that and corrupt the game

[@hunterpro_1]

a good fiberglass slow taper catfish/salmon rod will bend like that.

[@P.W.R.]

​@@bushwoogie Sure, a good rod will bend without snapping, but there were times in this video that it was looking beyond what a rod could handle in real life. One fish Flinter was bringing in looked like the rod tip looped back into itself which is something you don't want to do. EW didn't animate the different power/action correctly anyway. I saw some other videos with people using the ultra-light/fast action rods and they bend the same as the heavy/slow ones do. They all arc down to the grip and this just doesn't look right on the ultra-light/fast rods. The rod bends mostly near the tip with a ultra-light/fast. Also, I think it would be cool if you can catch fish without needing the "recommended" line weight and rod to bring in large fish. People have been catching large (chose your favorite gamefish) on 7-8ft ultra-light rods for decades, and using light line like 6-8lb line to boot! Its totally possible and I wish EW would have more closely modelled this in the game. I think this would bring more nuance to the finesse fishing without it boiling down to "get big rod and heavy line, now catch big fish." And they could award more XP or a better trophy for landing fish on lighter gear. This would be much more compelling and fun! And of course the heavy gear would still have purpose since you would not be able to land a 40lb channel cat with a trout/bass rod. Maybe this will be changed in due time and improved later on. There is so much potential here and I hope EW seizes the opportunity to go crazy with this like they did for theHunter.

[@nixielee]

Wow this game really didn't want to be a serious fishing game. Just ridiculous.

[@FrostySoul]

[@Yacarel]

[@big_gav3645]

When will this game come out for ps4?

[@davidhowe7844]

Here in Ontario I've caught catfish on liver, dog food, corn, and just a ball of worms flat on the bottom. Good trick we use when camping is have your rod tied to a tree and drag fairly loose so the fish can pull out line. If you have a clicker on your reel or bells you can attach, put them on. Then just sit around the campfire and wait

[@snailrancher]

While beautiful, it seems to lack a lot of the standard mechanics that people who play fishing games expect in terms of the rod physics, fish behavior,etc. Even bad fishing games like Ultimate Fishing Simulator 1 and Fishing Sim World are better, never mind more serious games like Fishing Planet and Russian Fishing 4. It looks like it’s on the level of mobile fishing games in terms of mechanics. Hunters will probably like it, but I don’t see anyone in the fishing game community saying much good about it. Hopefully that changes, but I suspect that’s going to take some time.

[@Nordigoistired]

Tbh this feels more like classic than cotw. The animations are nice but the world feels off. It doesn’t feel like EW made it. Also the fact is fades to black when pulling it up is horse shit. Rdr2, Farcry, and other games don’t do that and feel better. Also the hud style is garbage; I hate it. Again it doesn’t feel like EW made it. Hopefully it’s like this because it’s early access but it does release in a few days. If this what the final game is going to look like it better be 10-15 USD. If it’s more priced like Cotw I doubt I’ll ever get this or at least until they make big changes. I really hope it ends up more like it’s the Hunter counter part. I thought this was going to be this first genuinely good fishing game but until proven other wise this is going to be a financial flop for EW
