I love almost everything about this game, but this might be the first game with a fishing mini game that I hate.
Overall, this game is excellent. Going for 100% everything and enjoying the journey.
I'm also the guy who loves fishing mini games in video games. Animal crossing, stardew valley, RDR2, FFXV, you name it. If a video game that's not about fishing has a fishing minigame, I love it. I'm the guy who will get distracted and avoid progressing through the main gameplay because he wants to catch all the fish. Even in OSRS, fishing is the first skill I get 99 in.
So when I heard crimson desert had fishing, I got excited.
But crimson desert was the first time I've ever played a fishing mini game and gone "I never want to do that again".
It's just terrible and unsatisfying. This fishing system needs a complete overhaul. Just add a basic button-press timing mechanic or copy what any of the game's have done. The mining and woodcutting mechanics are also very disappointing, but at least they are so simple it's hard to complain about them.
