Mankind faces extinction. Get your tackle box.

Post by J T »

Because the only way to survive an apocalypse is by fishing, at least if you are in the future proposed in Grand Mer, the fishing MMO. :lol:

You have to watch this ridiculous trailer. I love how much these guys love fishing. I'm actually curious to play this game.

Man, I hate when commercials for games never show any of the fucking game!

The concept is pretty cool though. This could be a fun game for fans of fishing and fishing video games.

Sure beats real life fishing. Mankind has nearly ruined that thanks to oil spills and mercury poisoning.

I hope the apocalypse is this awesome, it looks so festive and fun. And everyone is partying and has top of the line fishing boats.

I still believe in Natsume's RIVER KING series...

What are you talking about? It does show gameplay. It shows the characters casting and reeling and holding up a fish. Aside from some unseeable keystrokes and menu micro-managment that is all you ever see in MMOs.

It's all about the experience (read: grinding and chatting with fellow players) and this actually looks fun. Fishing is one of the things i like in pretty much every MMO. (starting with my experience with the incredibly broken old fishing style in Final Fantasy XI)
