Everybody's Golf |OT| We'll miss you Hot Shots Golf

For those who have the game, is there a story or campaign mode for single player?

Yes, there's a campaign mode. You win tournaments to increase your EXP and face off against NPCs to increase your rank or break the EXP gate.

EDIT: Added myself to the Google sheet

Now that the game has launched, could someone please do me a massive favor and scour the game for the song "Clap Your Hands" by Owl City?

It was the song made for and prominently featured in all of the marketing for the game and as GAF's resident OC fan, I'm dying to hear the final track.

It's basically the first thing that plays when you load up the game.

-7 on the open course online got me in 82ND place. Could've done a -9 if it weren't for some shots where I missed the little zone and my shots went wide :(

I encourage yall to run around online. I've found customization stuff just running around the place. It's pretty cool.

Time to go to sleep gotta wake up in 5 hours lol. Best I could do online was -8. Ima chalk it up to being tired :p
 
Just played for a bit. I was really nervous because I wasn't a huge fan of the footage before release and also there wasn't a lot of coverage of the game in general. I'm loving this though. It's still Hot Shots/Everybody's Golf, and that's what matters.

Has anyone received their preorder bonuses yet? I'm getting the game later today (Tuesday) at Best Buy via in-store pickup but wonder when I should be getting the email.

Anyone received the pre-order bonus from ShopTo?

There wasn't a code in the game box and ShopTo haven't sent any notifications about it.

PS. Added to spreadsheet
 
I haven't played turf masters, but this game does have local multiplayer and you can even play it with one controller passed back and forth for multiple players.
Thanks. Neo Turf Masters seems to have that, too, though: "Players choose from two game modes, stroke play for one or two players, and match play for two players only." (Wikipedia)
I prefer the graphics of the NeoGeo game so I'll try that first.
 
Yeah, definitely forgot this was coming out today. Another game I'll have bought in a week's time. Feels good to have so many great games to play.

A good golf game that takes its attitude to the aesthetics and functional customization as its mantra.

The most arcade and funny golf game is back with a new videogame that is reminiscent of the best games of the saga. What's more, it features many improvements and great online modes.

Stupid question time: How do you fish? I just started and did the first tournament and an online round. I figure this is maybe something you unlock by doing more single player tournaments? Same thing for driving the golf carts around?

Having a blast with it so far. I've done a few tournaments and did a full round online. I like the character customization a lot!

Anyone get this weird judder on the word balloons that pop up on the npcs when you travel around the resort in 60 fps? It's not as present if you switch to 30.

It's because they update at 30fps (amongst a few other things) when everything else is 60, hence you don't notice when in 30fps mode.

Is 60fps mode 1080p? I can try tomorrow when I get the game but I’m wondering whether 4K 30 would be more suited to this game.

I would also like to know this. I assume you need to rank up or something to unlock them? I want to fish and drive my buggy! :(

Things I've discovered in Open Course mode while trying and failing to use the golf cart.

- Each direction on the d-pad is an emote, both tapping and holding will give you a different emote in each direction. R2 does a practice swing emote, L2 makes you lay down.

- Pressing R3 will give you a menu of chat phrases, and the option to use the keyboard to create your own list of custom messages (...yikes...)

- Holding down the touchpad button will toggle between displaying your PSN name and your in-game nickname for you and other players on the course.

Anyone figure out how to use the golf cart? Maybe you get the option later...

From what I was reading, you have to be rank 3. I noticed on the PlayStation Store you can purchase an off-road jeep to use as a cart. Does anyone know if that's unlockable within the game or is it strictly cosmetic DLC?

1080p is 60fps yeah

There's a decent amount of aliasing so 4k would be nice but isn't available on 1080p TVs :(

But the 60fps is real nice as well

Got to say it's really cool how you progress all your clubs now. Excellent sense of progression and gives you a real drive to play. Hurry up midnight!
 
The Push Square review is the only one I could see that questions the game's balance:

But unfortunately, this mode accentuates the title’s head-scratching balancing issues. Simply playing the game increases your efficiency with each club, enhancing your shot distance and control. This means that anyone who’s played the title longer than you have is given an instant advantage, and while it won’t make up for sloppy play, it’s a bit strange that the playing field isn’t even.

More bizarrely, there are many smartphone-esque currencies that litter the entire game. In the Turf War mode, for example, there are warp points which instantly transport you to a hole of your choice. You can teleport three times by default, which in isolation would add an extra dimension, but those willing to spend tokens can warp indefinitely – almost breaking an otherwise ace mode.

The Push Square review is the only one I could see that questions the game's balance:

it also mentions that some of the daily challenges are on courses you may not have unlocked yet. Hmm. So how will paid DLC work - presumably if you buy a course you don't need to unlock it. Will there be daily challenges or other 'campaign' content that requires paid DLC courses to access?

And that warp point thing in turf war doesn't sound good at all. Although if you have more people in your team you're already at an advantage, it sounds like if you're willing to spend gems on extra warps that would be a big advantage to get around the course faster

Can someone explain why everybody is so excited for a Golf game? Never played a game of the series, so is there something that makes those games special or are those "just" really good golf games?

so as the game has become available and GAF is playing it, I'd like to ask...

some years back I was completely obsessed with Mario Golf for 3DS and I was hoping this game could be a suitable replacement.

how does this game fare compare to Mario Golf (3DS)?

if it isn't too much to ask, I'd be very grateful if the answer to this question would be more than "it blows Mario golf out of the water" or something like that, an in-depth comparison would be appreciated.

if I am a single player, is there enough fun to be had here?
