Funny review of Nier (Xbox/PS3) with reviewer trying to catch a fish
Edited on Tue May-04-10 12:43 PM by FormerDittoHead
NOT for the "I'm too cool for video games" crowd...

I was reading a preview article about Fallout Vegas and this video was in the corner:

I'm not into these magic type games, but IF YOU'RE A GAMER, you'd appreciate the frustration the player / reviewer has dealing with a poorly designed game element.

ON EDIT FOLLOWUP:

Another player says he wasn't fishing in the right place, and that it's easy to do when you know how:

1. that was hilarious
but i REALLY hate it when games make something extremely complicated, then require you to do it at a certain spot, then be vague about where that spot is. It should not take you ten minutes to catch a fish in a video game. Mini-games are already tedious; making them last forever does NOT help.
