Been having a lot of fun with Golf Story. Only thing I wish is that it had some of the QoL things that the newer Mario Golf titles have had. Specifically, a little more depth to the wind speed and elevation mechanics would be nice. Putting in particular is really hard (well, not hard, but overly simplistic) because you get super limited information. Some kind of terrain mapping would be really nice.

Haha the montage where the groundkeeper is mowing the course with more and more absurd methods was amazing.

Tekopo posted: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. 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.

Welp, I can't imagine this game will be able to top having a golf battle with an actual wizard for ownership of his haunted golf course

Kaubocks posted:Apparently holding L/R while golfing are the buttons to add front and back spin to your swing. This is separate from pressing X to pinpoint where on the ball you want to hit it which alters the trajectory but doesn't add any spin to the ball. Whaaaaat????? gently caress me, that would've been nice to know.

DLC Inc posted:My inability to figure out the loving putting meter tanks my par everytime. I just do not get how putting works What specifically are your issues? Some good rules of thumb: 1: Overshooting a little bit generally isn't a bad idea, but only a little because if you put too much spice on it, it'll jump the hole 2: Even a slight slope should change your target speed. Slight slope away/towards you: modify your strength by 25% in either direction. Medium slope away/towards you: modify strength by 50%. Slope perpendicular to your shot: modify speed upwards (slope will have less impact) or significantly modify your angle left/right depending. These are the hardest shots to make. 3: If you're right by the hole, just give it two quick taps. If there is no "green", then the flag won't go away. In these cases, you want to be as fast as physically possible on taking the shot. If you do it right, it'll drop every time. If not, it'll bounce off the flag and you'll rage. 4: If you're starting from fairway or for the rough, give it way more power than it looks like you need. The length indicator IS NOT accurate in these cases. Treat it like you're putting up a significant slope. and finally, if the shot is too crazy consider just chipping instead.

Dr Cheeto posted:I just aim for bunkers or rough and chip it from there. If you land on the green you can't use the flagpole as a backboard. Personally I think putting is easier than chipping. If you're trying to nail the flag with a chip you have to perfectly account for wind because if the wind pulls you off course (or you just mess up your shot) you're guaranteed to have to burn another stroke.

Forcyte posted:Is there a trick to the putting challenge in Bermuda Isles? The slopes are so extreme, I can't get the ball close to the hole on the second and third holes. Trial and error worked for me. I'd recommend just dropping the ball on the green outside of the challenge and hitting it over and over again until you have a good idea of power/direction that drops it the most consistently. That's a little quicker than dealing with the TOO BAD poo poo over and over.
