@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yep. A few rare fish are only available January - March, and then disappear for months. Not usually an issue, except for games that launch near the end of March...
Well, I'll catch them next year if it comes down to it. I'll probably start fishing when the family is watching TV right now, though, since there's next to no thought that goes into the activity. Pure RNG.
Sharks will require sound when they come around, though. I needed godlike reflexes to catch them in New Leaf.
@nessisonett Yep. Part of the whole crafting system. It's a minor annoyance at times, but the crafting has added so much to the game overall.
@RogerRoger I do love all versions of Resi 1 but what made you plump for the original rather than REmake? It’s probably one of the best remakes in the pre-HD era so did you just prefer having the original trilogy on the one console?
@RogerRoger I've always started with Jill, considering she begins with a gun, which, imo, makes her the game's easy mode. Even if Chris is a tank, trying to survive the beginning of the game with that terrible knife is just annoying.
Honestly, other than the fact that it's repetitive, this sort of goal-oriented fishing isn't too bad. If anything, hunting around my beaches for thirty manilla clams before each fishing trip (I use them to make fish bait, which helps when the fish you're trying to nab can only really be found in a very particular area) is probably worse.
@nessisonett I'm fairly certain RogerRoger is going for something that isn't too scary, and REmake did a fantastic job of making the original RE just that: scary. I'd call it more moody and gothic than frightening, but, regardless, I don't think he's going for something chilling.

@Ralizah@RogerRoger As someone who was until very recently a massive wuss, I totally get it! That reminds me, I’ve got a save on REmake I need to get back to after I ran to a save room with about a million Crimson Heads after me 😂😂
@Ralizah Ooh well done. I haven't encountered that yet. I did randomly get a blue marlin which I was pretty chuffed about and finally managed to catch a tarantula before it bit my poor villager. 😂
@Tjuz Well, I'm including the whole process: selling off the excess fish clogging up my inventory as I look for it, digging for manilla clams, fashioning new poles and fish bait. Probably only a solid three hours or so of actual standing at the river fishing for it.
And thanks! The game is fun enough that I don't even feel particularly sore about the time spent trying to catch it. Just netted me some extra money, and I actually found a few new species I hadn't donated yet in the process.
I'm glad the Switch is a hybrid, though. I wouldn't want to sit near a TV doing this for hours. I can just integrate it into time I'm otherwise not doing anything with my hands, though.
@Ralizah Haha, the more I read about Animal Crossing the more I'm convinced it'd drive me insane! It does sound like a great tuning out game, so I wonder if many people actually play it with the Switch docked past the initial excitement. Glad you're having a great time with it, though. At least your efforts were still worth something even if you didn't get the fish you wanted for all those hours!
I played a bit more of FF7 Crisis Core. I’m still undecided, it’s a bit fanfic-like in the way it tells the story. The gameplay’s kinda button mashey too. It’s not bad, just a bit ungainly. It’s worked well as a test of my laptop’s ability to upscale PSP games though, it looks incredibly good.
Yesterday I started Persona 4 Dancing All Night on the Vita. It's been in my backlog for years, but buoyed by finally finishing Persona 4 Arena figured I'd take the opportunity to play through the various Persona spin-offs before I start Persona 5 Royal. I generally enjoy rhythm games, adore Persona music (the remixes here are excellent) and reckon there's never a bad excuse to be back with the wonderful Persona 4 cast. Alongside Persona 4 Arena I've realised just how versatile the modern Persona property actually is. Although the core games are exceptional examples of the RPG genre in their own right, their fundamental foundations are actually their great casts, attentive writing and stories that draw the player in. Given how beloved the cast of Persona 4 are it's unsurprising that with this core intact it can work with a variety of genres.
My coordination has been somewhat off since my illness last year, so I'm finding pressing lots of buttons in quick succession trickier than I anticipated. Practice will make perfect (hopefully)!
@KratosMD On paper it sounds a bit daft what with dancing to make the shadows happy, but it works! The cast always sound really enthusiastic, which is nice. It's a great fit for the Vita too.
@nessisonett Ooh I may try for the Platinum on this then, depending on how well I can keep up with hard mode. 😂 Will likely start P3 and P5 Dancing after Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.
@mookysam I don’t think the platinum requires too much work on the hardest difficulty thankfully! I’m not too shabby at those sorta rhythm games but some of the hardest difficulty songs are seriously difficult.
