Crazy Fishing

Watching YouTubers like captain sauce, blitz, and kindly keyin play this was prob the peak of my life and made my childhood

This is an old VR fishing game. It's not a serious fishing game. It's also not a terribly good game and I'm pretty sure it's abandoned at this point too. The graphics are nice enough. Nothing special, but it won't distract too much from the experience... until you start reeling in the weird fish. I mean, it IS "Crazy" fishing right? Expect boomerang fish speaking in terrible Australian accents, banjo-fish, and a bunch of other weird stuff that I can't remember. Once you start to play this game it becomes clear just how old this game is. The only movement scheme is teleporting and that might not even work for you if you're using the "wrong" VR Runtime. If you're on OpenXR it probably won't work right... or it might but only for certain headsets. If you're unable to force it to use the usual SteamVR runtime (OpenVR) then it probably won't work right for you since this game was created in the before-times when OpenVR and Oculus were the only real choices. So you move to the outside of the cabin and go down by the lake and you can find random junk to put on your hook. Might as well try anything and everything in case it works. You just never know. In fact I'm sure that certain fish are only going to go after certain types of bait, but then not every fish is in every part of the lake, so you'll just have to experiment. Is there a wiki with the answers? Who knows? Casting the rod feels just OK. Sometimes it feels like you can do a decent cast like you'd expect and other times you wind up just launching your bait directly at the ground in front of you at 100mph and you wonder what happened. I find it's generally easier to do a sideways cast motion instead of over head. Reeling it back in doesn't really feel right in my opinion, but it probably differs depending on your controller. I'm using the Index controllers and it works just "ok". Audio is ok... some of the voices you hear are pretty goofy sounding (but hey, it's CRAAAAAZY fishing, right?). The music is utterly forgettable, and sound effects are just pretty basic for a fishing game. I feel like this is one area they could have put some extra effort into it, but they didn't and we got what we got. Nobody is coming to fix this so I hope you like it (because if you don't you're stuck with it anyway). This is probably suited for kids to play with more than anyone over the age of 15. I bought it back when there weren't any other fishing games in VR and was disappointed with it, but then later we got "Catch & Release" and a few other VR fishing games, including some that aimed more for realism. If you aren't a little kid you might want to check out ANY other fishing game instead of this one... except the "fancy" games. Fancy Fishing is crap. It's not that this game is really tough or anything. It's pretty casual and so again, a little kid would be right at home with this game. I think for an adult, the game is just plain tedious. The "humor" just comes from silly bait, silly fish, and silly locations to fish from. From an 10 year old's perspective this might be worth a chuckle. Since this game is so old, your PC is probably more than enough to run it. There's not a lot going on at any point in time so it's not going to stress your system out unless you got a computer that was marginal for VR in 2015...and even then it'll probably still run. Just look at the system requirements...even what the developer lists is probably overkill for this game. I didn't put a lot of work into this game and I doubt I ever will. It feels too tedious to try to even catch all the fish. I bet if you did try to catch everything you'd spend a decently long time, but if you're not a fan of the fishing what would make you keep going? Worst of all, the price right now is just insane. $20 for this? A game this old and hasn't had an update in probably 4 or 5 years? Looking at SteamDB says the last build of this game was December 2017, so yeah... 5 1/2 years. There should be a way to filter games that don't get updates anymore from the steam store. I haven't had any serious bugs with it except when I tried to play it on my HP Reverb G2. I think maybe I could have gotten it working if I fiddled around with the runtime since microsoft's openXR doesn't work 100% the same as Steam's OpenXR. I'm sure if I played this game for 100s of hours I could find some bugs, but I've struggled just to get 3 hours clocked in. If I had to give this a numerical rating it'd be a 5/10. Not horrible, but there's so much better things out there so unless you're getting this for $2 or less, why bother? Go play Catch & Release instead.

I HATE THIS GAME BECAUSE ITS GOOD

fishing it calms me down after a bad day

I know i cant really blame the game with it being 8 years old and all, but when i try to play it i can load in the game but when i do i cannot put bait on the hook, making it impossible to play the game. i did the tutorial and i can only get to the "now release the bait on the hook" part because it doesn't work. 1 more thing, if the line doesn't work (which is most of the time), it keeps saying "item hooked" when its in the air and gets stuck. help???

This game is good but there are problems like with the hook disappearing and not being able to play so i can not recommend it to people if this is going to be happening.

사용한 기기 : 어쩌다 얻게 된 낡은 오큘러스 리프트 S + 물고기들 컨셉이 재미있음 + 가볍게 낚시하는 느낌 - 텔레포터 작동 안 함. 손 휘적휘적 해보기도 하고 온갖 버튼 눌러보기도 했는데 다 안됨 - 튜토리얼부터 버그 있음 사운드 버벅거림, 누르라는 버튼 눌러도 진행 안됨 등등 -- 업데이트 끊김 기타 : 토론 보니까 오큘러스/메타 퀘스트 계열 사용자 (+ Vive) 분들이 튜토리얼 버그를 보고하고 있음 다른 VR기기도 비슷한 문제가 있는진 모르겠음 근데 업데이트도 2017년 이후로 끊겨서 버그 패치 기대하기가 힘듦 결론 : 걍 거르시고 유튭 에디션 보세요

the game is glitched and fishing part dont work

Do not buy. Game is bugged in the tutorial. Doesn't even give you any instructions for gameplay. Just throws you at a dock with pole and expects you to figure it out.

it no workey- but also isn't index supported but i should of figured as much
