3rd person driving and secure catch are good updates. Eventually they might start looking at the drag system and sounds for the reels and maybe some more rod and reel colors from the tackle shop. It gets better everytime they update.
It really has improved a lot. EW is one of the few devs I trust to improve their product over time. I really hope they work out the rod holder issues soon and we are able to see those in the near future. I’d like to see an online tournament system as well.
@@hooksnhaunts I've seen a lot of comments about rod holders. I'm not sure I understand what the difference is, holding the rod or having to pick it up from the holder. Is it for animation purposes? Edit. I mean like isn't bobber fishing and bottom fishing both considered "STILL FISHING" and wouldn't a boat holder be for trolling a lure behind the boat at slower speeds? I'm just trying to figure out what people are asking for and what they want to do while the rod is in a holder.
@@JayLee-od8ob bottom fishing usually involves using multiple rods at the same time, 2 or 3 anyway so you can experiment with baits, rigs, locations and increase your chances. Botom fishing is a method favoured by those chasing specimen fish and can involve very long waits between bites. Bite indication holding a rod can also be an issue as for the best idea of what's happening at the sharp end re;lies upon a fairly tight line and sensitive bite indicators, often electronic alarms that rely upoin line movement...holding a rod would inevitably lead to almost constant movement. Bottom line (😄) is that you just don't hand hold bottom rods irl, and maybe in your area of the world, lure fishing rules but for large parts of the world, bottom fishing is massively popular, just look at serious carp fishing for example.
@@600f4 yeah I get all that but on the game it doesn't move. You just cast out and it stays still. If it's for multiple rods what happens when you have a bite or a fish on a rod but you're reeling in a fish already? Edit. I guess what I'm saying is that the game wants you to catch fish and not have to wait all night for a carp to bite. I've seen the fishing with Carl channel where he brings the wheelbarrow down with all the indicators but I don't know if they would implement that to the game. I think they just want a straight forward experience so everyone gets bites and catches fish. I mean they could add linear styles into the open world but then they'd have to do that for every species. It isn't like they have proper over sized musky baits or proper plugs/flatfish for salmon or down riggers for lake trout it's more like a simple fishing game.
@@JayLee-od8ob oh yes, The Angler is clearly designed as an arcade style fishing game, and certainly has no intention of competing with the FP let alone RF4 but a large group of players would still like a nod to reality as far as their favoured method goes and holding a carp or feeder rod is simply bizarre compared to irl...or any other fishing game (arcade or sim) come to that matter. AS to your question about dealing with more than one fish taking a bait at the saem time, you just have to judge which rod takes priority, you'll generally concentrate on the rod that has the larger fish on.
I, uh, definitely didn’t upload this as Float Fishing for hours before realizing it…
