I don't speak Australian, what does sucked in mean?

I'd guess either Sucker or Tricked Ya

Waiting for impressions/reviews before I buy. Dont let me down more-disposable-income-than-me GAF.

40 minutes in. It's so charming and funny. Really enjoying myself.

I have used "Sucked in" before to describe being engrossed in something.

In Toronto, Canada.

Oh man. I foresee many threads spinning off of this game.

 

[Chase Lebowski]

Not really into golf and never played a golf videogame, but this looks kinda fun. Should I give it a try?

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Right at the start this game has a charm, I can tell it'll be funny. Put the Microwave on with nothing in it. "That was dangerous" LOL

Yes.

I'll have a full playthrough of it up in around an hour and a half. It's not very long but my internet sucks haha.

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Need to get a cup of cocoa while this downloads.

 

[ghibli99]

Just read the Eurogamer review. Sounds amazing. Buying right now.

Edit: Oh god, I forgot about Picross as well.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Yep, eurogamer is legit. bought

 

[Fantastical]

ooh this game seems like it has HD Rumble. I'm still at the main menu but the rumble when selecting an option feels nice. About to dive in for a bit.

I've seen a lot of positive impressions for the HD rumble in this game. That's awesome - I like HD rumble - it's more subtle than I would have thought but I generally enjoy the enhanced feedback.

About how long is the game based on this you recon? Did you do alot of side stuff?

 

[Teletraan1]

Downloading now. Weird pricing in CAD.

Bought it off the US Store since it's cheaper with exchange. Just over $18 CAD.

Protip: If you have Paypal you can tie it to the US account and a lot of the games are cheaper right now due to the exchange.

My Switch died today. It's my birthday so I took today off to play Golf Story. Can't now Getting ready to send it to Nintendo for repairs.

How does it die? Just won't turn on?

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Finished tutorial, now when I drop a ball I can turn the swing, what button does that? The Left thumbstick just changes the club

Just realised I'm sad at the Americans not knowing the glory of a Greggs' sausage roll

Thanks for the tip!

Left and right changes the direction, up and down changes the club. If you've dropped a ball down you can aim, then hit a to confirm then you can't change direction any more (press B to back out to aim).

Oh I was just talking about the Galf minigame. I haven't finished the the main adventure yet.

 

[Hero-of-Time]

Where does everyone recommend using your skill points? I'm a little confused by it. I raise one thing but then it decreases if I raise power.

 

[Da Fro]

How does it die? Just won't turn on?

I turned it on and an error message quickly came up. I didn't even have time to read it before it turned off. I tried resetting it but nothing. It turns on and gets stuck at the Switch logo. I talked with Nintendo and they send it needs to be sent in. It's free but I paid the $7-$8 to get it back faster.
What I'm scared about is losing my Zelda 170+ hour save

 

[mazillion]

How do you hit the same ball twice when you tee up anywhere? I'm practicing and I hit the ball in the putting area but I can't figure out how to putt it now.

 

[JBourne]

This is the most Australian game I've ever played.

 

[CharminUltra]

I have love/hate relationship with work. On the one hand work allows me to purchase this game, but on the other I can't play the game when I want because work.

 

[franklyshankly]

I need a translator so I can understand what things like "sucked in" are supposed to mean.

Can you tie your paypal to multiple accounts?

 

[Stencil]

Got a hole in one on my first shot!

Crap I accidentally hit A in front of the bed and wasted my day... Wonder what I missed.

 

[mrjohill]

Can we change the OT title to sucked in? Lol

 

[The Elite]

I didn't tie it to my Canadian account since I just use my CC on that so I'm not sure.

 

[JustenP88]

I'm definitely still in the tutorial area (need a few more bucks to do the training), but I'm already thinking this is going to end up competing with Mario + Rabbids as my surprise of the year. I was skeptical going in because of the unknown dev and the complete lack of info on the game pre-release (aside from trailers)... Holy shit though. It looks to be way more expansive than I hoped. Seems like there's a shitload of stuff to do.

I had to go to Urban Dictionary for that one.

[Chasetopher]

I am absolutely loving this holy shit man.

 

[mazillion]

This is seriously annoying the hell out of me. How do I hit a single ball twice??

I kinda can get it to work by walking up to the ball and pressing Y but that only works on the green for some reason. Pressing Y near the ball on the green will make the first ball disappear and my character drop a new ball to hit, which I guess works? But in the putting area that doesn't happen at all, my player just keeps dropping new golf balls right next to the one I am trying to hit.

 

[mentallyinept]

Anyone else have the screen scrolling messed up?

I am missing entire dialog bits because the screen doesn't move up enough to see the people talking... I'm going to try to restart to see if it fixes it...

Edit: Quit and Restart fixed it... I wonder what the heck went wrong.

I don't think you can when you're just walking around the world. When actually playing through a course it automatically places you where your ball went but when just messing around on the course it doesn't seem to let you.

 

[Spman2099]

So far I am really liking the game, though I am a little bummed that it looks like you can't play multiplayer discgolf...

Damn.. That seems like a big oversight if they're going to advertise "tee up anywhere". It'd like to create my own personal golf challenges outside the courses but I guess I'll have to just keep dropping new balls where the old one lands, not ideal since the old balls get in the way.

Console was being stupid, quit out of game and reopened and now its fine. Oh well

Ugh should I wait for reviews? I'm having trouble foreseeing a world where I don't buy this...

 

[Pastry]

im not sure if we will get many official reviews for this. Early impressions from GAF seem very positive

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Ugh should I wait for reviews? I'm having trouble foreseeing a world where I don't buy this...

honestly, if you played older golf rpg's and enjoyed it then yes. If you like quirkiness in games and a bit of humor then yes. Otherwise wait for reviews.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Bought it because I like the idea of solving problems through golf.

I really like it so far. Looking forward to seeing where the story goes.
