Fishing North Atlantic Free Download Unfitgirl Being the resident fishing nut, it seems only fitting that any time a game is released that features that magic word, the review copy lands squarely on my desk. Sometimes this is a pleasure, with the likes of The Catch: Carp & Coarse being a joy to play, while other times its poorer fare such as Ultimate Fishing Simulator. One game that stood out, however, and not for good reasons, was Fishing: Barents Sea, a simulation of the life of a commercial fisherman in the icy Barents Sea. Well, it must have been a hit, as now there is a follow-up, Fishing: North Atlantic. Coming again from Misc Games, it’s time to set sail again and see if I have what it takes to be a rough, tough, salty sea dog. Let’s weigh anchor and seek out that horizon! Who is this game for? Is it for bona fide fisherman or those who have a taste for the sea air but lack the ability or time to commit? It’s certainly a niche, but considering the amount of depth in this game makes me conclude there is most definitely a market. The thing is, Fishing North Atlantic will test the patience of many as you can’t do anything quick – even with a feature that boasts fast travel, you still have to reach the destination first. In the game, your role is to fish your quota and not go over it, for fear of being fined and because overfishing is wrong. Simples. You start with a small fishing boat and can expand as you make your name, and money in the marketplace. Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

The first steps are harpooning (which is really really hard when you’re boat is continually drifting and had me play the tutorial for ‘an undisclosed time’. As you improve, you can go crabbing, longline, and more my thing, trawling. As I said, this is a bit of niche, and fishing nerds will be familiar with vessels, species and also their behaviours. This is the closest you’ll currently get to fishing without going on an actual boat. I Sea Your Ocean And Raise You… Fishing North Atlantic has some of the best ocean physics I’ve experienced in a game. While Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag reaches the top of the podium for cinematic appeal, the ocean plays a significant role in a game about fishing. It’s almost like an unpredictable character in the game without a speaking role and whom nobody addresses, but its presence is dominance. Let’s pull out the quacks chair here and have me disclose that the sea scares me – for very valid reasons, and in this simulation, while it’s not a game for surfers, the unpredictable movement of the waves is superb. On the opposing side of this realism, as a game, Fishing North Atlantic proves troublesome as the waves are continually moving; therefore, so does your vessel. When you’re trying to steady your aim or at least remain within the vicinity of your quota, it can be a little too tricky and requires patience. But fishing has always been about patience, and this is a skilled job.

Very tense flows

For a simulator to come along and be pig-headed in its simplification would be an insult to the industry. There’s no-nonsense here in the game, with an emphasis on realism, but there are a few tweaks that can be made to make the game just a tiny bit more forgiving. Docking You can only fish a species if it’s in season, making it essential to plan out your year sort of as you go along, but with enough foresight to factor in any shortage on your quotas. Fines are very real in the game, and you need to factor in how hard it is to catch the fish, process, store then sell only to be fined and docked your earnings. Also, be prepared for being penalised if you speed in the ports. Fishing North Atlantic is the definition of a slow burner, and it’s going to appeal to those who like to follow the rules and want an authentic experience. While there is a fast travel option, you have to have visited the place before you can make use of it, but once you have, chances are you’ll use it unless you’re single and have all the time in the world. Going into the port is another game in itself. You can borrow from the bank, hire new staff, buy new gear and get tips on the best fishing spots. More importantly, it’s the marketplace to sell your catch, and that’s kind of the point of the game. End Of The Season I’m still getting up to speed with what specs that are required for most PC games. Apparently, the Pentium 3 is dead, as is the Advanced Graphics Port.  Test Drive Unlimited 2

The settings I was running at were satisfactory, but upping up draw distances and all that jazz made the game choppy, and that was nothing to do with the sea. To appreciate just how good the physics are, you ideally need a good spec PC but strip that all down and it’s the actual simulation that’s the star of the show. Quotas and seasons are accurate, weather elements are brill, and Fishing North Atlantic uses licensed partners too. While you won’t see Nissan or Nike, fish fans will recognise some names and modelling. Scanmar, anyone? For me, this is a particular market, so you ideally need an interest in fishing or open to the realistic nature of the simulation. It took me an age to do anything, and I foresee that I’ll be playing this well into next year as I build my fishing empire and employee a much more efficient crew. First off, and Fishing: North Atlantic looks very nice, albeit with a couple of niggles. The sea and the boats, even the fish and the crabs that you catch, all look super, and there is a real sense of distance as you look out over the waves to the distant horizon. The sound is perfectly pleasant too, with some nice ambient music putting the player in mind of those from the likes of Minecraft, whilst appropriate engine noises from the boat play out nicely. The niggles are only small ones actually, such as when you are sat in the driver’s seat of the boat, the controls move about and the boat steers itself

Fishing for bugs

While you sit there with your hands in your lap; clearly these North Atlantic boats are steered telepathically. And why, when I’m driving (sailing?) from an interior viewpoint, can the mini map no longer be seen? If you want to see where you are going in this fishing title, it’s external view only I’m afraid. The tutorial does a good job of teaching how to pilot the boat, and also how to navigate to various points. A high point is when we have the opportunity to harpoon some swordfish, mostly as I didn’t know that was a thing. I mean, as an efficient way of hunting and catching one of the fastest fish in the ocean, a pointed stick is surely the way to go. Surprisingly, hitting these ocean-going racers is however pretty straightforward, and the reeling in mini-game (press A until the line goes red, release for a bit, hold it again and so on) is actually pretty fun. You’ll soon have hundreds of kilos of swordfish rolling about the deck (there’s no fish hold on the starter boat, at least) before heading to port to sell them It’s here where Barents Sea fell down, and sadly that’s also the case for Fishing: North Atlantic as it hits the rocks, gets holed below the waterline, and sinks without a trace. Sailing the short distance in the tutorial is all okay, and when landfall is made, all the usual amenities are available. You can sell your catch, upgrade the boat with better engines and so on; even upgrade the trusty harpoon. The Amazing Spider-Man

Talking to people in the bar can lead to tips about where best to catch fish and all in all it works well. There are also different boats to find, which then become available to buy, so if you manage to amass enough money (or take out a loan from the bank) you can change the style of fishing you partake in. However, in the port, there are other jobs, for instance delivering some supplies to a distant port. “How hard can it be”?. I set sail. As it turns out, it isn’t hard at all. Just mind-numbingly tedious. Setting out in a little boat, with a maximum speed of about 7 knots with a following wind, the journey to this other port took two hours. Yep, one hundred and twenty minutes of doing nothing but looking at the rear of a boat, listening to the engine chugging, while the sky goes dark and becomes light again. In the end, I pointed the boat in roughly the right direction, and then switched over to watch some TV, checking in every 20 minutes or so to make sure I hadn’t run aground. Apart from a little light beaching, I made the journey unscathed. It’s nice that Fishing: North Atlantic does warn that fast travel would not be available during the mission, but even so, this is a dull, dull process, and effectively kills any desire to spend any further time on the ocean waves. This is a shame, as should you press on, new boats and different fishing styles begin to appeal.

First catches

It’s also massively helpful that the fast travel mechanic is a lot better this time around, as you can sail off wherever you fancy, instead of having to follow the course of earlier journeys, as was the case in Barents Sea. Wandering around the open sea, checking out likely looking spots where bird activity is visible, is pretty good fun, and catching a box full of crabs is a good feeling. However, having to take in the missions where there is no fast travel – admittedly a small part of the game – is a terrible feeling. This all means that should you fancy yourself as a commercial fisherman and want to prove it in the virtual world, Fishing: North Atlantic is the new game of choice. However, this is a very niche genre, the competition isn’t awfully strong, and saying that feels like faint praise. We start on a small boat, barely a few meters long, without any crew. The tutorial gives us the basics of moving the boat and very quickly we go on our first fishing: swordfish. Finding your bearings in this immensity of water is not easy, and even less so seeing the fish in the distance. We alternate between the external view to navigate, and the first person view to walk around on our tub, and use the accessories, such as the harpoon precisely. We have to touch the beast, and then bring it back up without breaking the line. Swords in sight! After several attempts, I validate my first takes. Head to the port now. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Port cities serve as hubs. First of all, it is here that we sell the fruit of our sea trips, while monitoring the evolution of the price per kilo of the different species. Fishing North Atlantic offers a dozen sea animals to catch, ranging from mackerel, tuna, swordfish and other lobsters or snow crabs. The tools are also present: harpoon, basket, net, and so on. Navigating from port to port is necessary to unlock these new techniques, but also the different boats, becoming more and more imposing. We must remember to repair our boat and fill up with fuel. The bar allows you to recruit crew, discover the latest spots by type of animal or even collect freight contracts. Upgrading and buying new boats comes next. We decide to hire a crew member, to go longline fishing by following the second proposed tutorial. Long distances require time, regularly exceeding tens of minutes. Luckily, we have a fast travel feature outside of transport missions. We trace the route on the map, and a few seconds later, we are at our destination. Serious AI issues arose at this point, finding our ship embedded in an ocean liner or other large trawler. This is also a recurring concern: the AI ​​will not shift one iota from its planned route, obstacle or not. Lack of luck when it’s also the AI ​​that manages our boat, it’s boom! Once arrived safely, we encounter a second bug, related to the interface

This one clearly thought of the PC world does not allow to associate personnel correctly. On computer, everything is played in drag&drop mode, unavailable on console. After discussions with the studio, the resolution is made after an nth reinstallation of the game. The overall experience revolves around two branches: fishing and management. This second facet integrates very well with the formula. To raise cash, we pile up the catches and fulfill transport contracts. This involves many round trips, not having unlimited storage, and therefore gasoline in quantity. Each member of our crew takes a percentage of each sale (as a salary). Any impact on the boat requires repair, of course, at a cost, as does the supply of bait. Above all, we hope not to break down, as towing also has a cost! We juggle non-stop between these expenses to make a profit in order to improve our boat (faster, better sonar, bigger hold) or buy bigger. And that’s without taking into account compliance with the imposed quotas. Impossible to aim swordfish in chain from the beginning to the end of the game! In short, the management facet is quite complete, without being difficult. The pure gameplay varies depending on the tools used. We talked about the harpoon earlier. Longlines need to be prepared, set and monitored for biting time. At this point, we pull up the catch on deck, with a session requiring precision and speed.
