Coach / Laras Coach

All bad.
Coach / Lara's Coach is great because Coach is a washed up old gently caress, hopefully they don't run that one into the ground

and Main/Lara is tsundere as gently caress and I want her to just like, beat him up already and get it over with

Just made it there, too. Looks like we are getting close to the end game.

Only thing I haven't been able to do is the long drive to the island at bermuda. I can get it there on a bounce, but it goes in the water. I just got a new club so maybe that will help.

Also, the red bandana thing is dum.

Wait so there are three Aqua Golf prizes, one for hitting the walls with Lara, one for sinking all the holes with target flags on them, what's the third for?

This game was suprisingly fun. The core golf game play worked well, and the "story mode" had its moment.

Minus:
  • 4-5 second loading time between each screen
  • obtuse fetch quests (beach level), having to literally press A against every object to progress (mansion party, eventually finding golf balls)
  • slightly overstayed its welcome
  • probably stupid, but took me until last course to understand how putting worked. I figured it was possible to look at the grass to understand how the greens sloped, which I couldn't understand, so I just perfected chipping directly into the hole or within like 5 feet. Then I realized putting was affected by the wind as well, and only the wind. :downs:

Still, great game. Finished it in a few days which is very rare for me.

I discovered that completely by accident, for some reason I thought you were supposed to give it to the front desk lady and when that didn't work I just started double checking stuff and the bookshelf was the first thing I tried.

I actually really liked that section, besides the rap battle. It was funny at first, but went too long.

I just love that putting the vinegar in the cabinet is literally the player admitting he has no idea what he's doing, and Lara taking notice and actually solving the puzzle. I love this game but that sequence is so, so bad.

Yeah it is. Especially because by that point I knew what I needed to do, it just wouldn't let me. The bell was dumb, too. I spent a while running around because you have to click them in the correct order. Since I did it out of order I didn't go reclick for quite some time.

Just a really badly set of "puzzles."

what? isn't putting just affected by the slope arrow directly underneath the wind arrow?

gently caress Blue Dunes.

Was at -3 on the last hole. Perfect T poo poo over the water. Bounce. Hits tree. Bounces back into water. Next shot I have to be aggressive because I can only get an 8 or lower to win. In the water. Now I'm at 5. Just turned the fucker off at 8 shots in the rough.

Has anyone experienced any locks in this game? I've had two so far, once when going through a conversation and one when trying to throw a disc. Quite annoying.

EDIT: going through the thread seems to suggest that yeah, I'm not the only one to get softlocking.

Yes. I had one soft-lock when I first booted up galf (assuming I wasn't just missing something but I hit every button and didn't see a response) and it also soft-locked on me when I went to that one lady's office while she was still out. I talked to the secretary and then after the conversation I couldn't move or open any menus.

I had a soft lock when I got the guy in the Disc Golf course the red bandanna. I handed it to him and the dialogue just stopped. The trees kept moving but I could not control my character or bring up the menu screen.

One of the most common bugs I encounter are when the camera fucks up or does not reset. I also get a lot of aiming controls to seeming stop working or even weirder, reverse.

Also, once you finish the story are there more quests? And will I get to finish side quests or will I miss them permanently if I didn't do them before the credits roll?

There's a flag in the 1st area that looks different from the others. Inspect it.

Am I misremembering or did the guy at the pro club ask for 8 scorecards? Cuz I only gave him 2. Coulda sworn he said 8 and I rolled my eyes at that.

You do five as part of the main quest, and the sixth is the rematch with the old dude at Tidy Park. "THIS IS YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!" and Blue Moon with Junior are just the last two.

e: If you open the menu and go to the Story tab it'll tell you what's what.

I was wondering if that is what it was. Still dumb to be like, bring me 8 cards when you already have most of them. Whatever.

9th hole on Pro Course is fuuuuuuuuucked up and unfair. There's a difference between difficult and unfair and that one is just unfair. 900 yards in 6 shots with bunkers and water everywhere? Yeah, thanks. Three times now I've gotten to that hole with a chance to win and had everything go to poo poo.

And of course after I post that I get ideal conditions and destroy the course. -8 going into the final hole and made par. Game over. Didn't finish the drone challenge, though. Don't see the point.

just did the nine holes of cheekybeak peak and it really did a good job at hammering home how unpolished this game is-- like i think most of the course was sloped in some way but it doesn't really show, so where it looks like you're golfing down a straight away the cursor keeps flying all over the place because of all the different elevations

this game is weird

The courses are more-or-less flat, I think maybe the cursor was moving like that because the paths would end up hitting trees that you couldn't see because the camera is not very good.

e: I don't mean to say this game isn't janky and unpolished, because it is

it's possible, but i recall a hole where if i golfed one way the ball would barely go anywhere but if i angled it slightly more to the side it would go way further

but yea it's possible that maybe i was like kinda near a tree but just far enough away that i didn't think anything of it and angling the shot one way would clip me slightly through the branches or some poo poo

stand by my statement that this is a weird, unpolished game

gonna stick with it though

You can tell if cursor is going through foliage if it's transparent, and it does make a huge difference on the distance it'll go.

Game is still buggy as hell. Just moving the camera around anywhere is enough to see graphical glitches. This has got to be the buggiest game that is still worth playing.
