I love hearing about unique takes on game mechanics. Someone recently convinced me that limited inventories are kind of abused currently and that unlimited inventory systems would give more player choices.

    Fishing minigames. I hate them with every single fiber of my body specially when they are mandatory for progress or to get 100% completition

    They are not relaxing, they are painfully boring

    I love hard games, but only when the challenge is fair, if the game consist solely on trial and error, that’s bad

    I genuinely enjoy the “git gud” journey, I find it very rewarding

      I’m absolutely baffled as to why more than one game I’ve ever played had fishing in it.

      I love the X series (despite the unfortunate name), but the literal real-time days you spend waiting for money to appear in your account are still more engaging than any fishing minigame ever.

      I agree with fishing mini games, it’s almost never anything like actual fishing, but some sort of weird experience that requires a combination of precise timing, button mashing or both.

      That being said I think it’s insane to me that Nintendo crammed a fishing mini game in basically every Zelda game except for BotW and TotK, the two games where it would actually make sense. I just wanna chill and throw out a line. It’s every other zelda game where I just did the minimum amount required to get a bottle or whatever I needed.

      Hahaha. If I didn’t know better I would think you just got done doing that fishing competition in Trails In The Sky 3rd.

      I don’t mind the fishing mini game in Breath of Fire 3. You can see all the fish and it’s just a matter of skill not patience. That said, it’s optional (the only fish you need, I believe you can buy) and trying to 100% it is a chore I’d rather not do again.
