Been really enjoying it so far. Usually waiting for my prescription at the pharmacist is a huge chore but the time just flew past today.

Unfortunately I now seem to have hit a game ending bug where I can't progress.

No matter how many times I do it, leave the game, restart, do anything else the game just refuses to accept that I've given the bloody ball [SPOILER](Egg)[/SPOILER] back.[/QUOTE]

Wrong place.

How long is the game? I’m in the second area and just don’t want it to end.

 

[Yohanov]

I wish some of the greens had actual bumps like Neo Turf Masters / NTM Pocket, and not just the grain/slope directional influence.

That would have given just enough additional deepness for people that find it too easy to do excellent scores.

And a first person view for the putting would have been nice as well.

That and some side quest repetitiveness are my only complaints about an otherwise very good game. Sublimated GBC/GBA feel.

Golf Story is really fun for what it is but if you want strictly golf, it’s no Neo Turf Masters.

According to parental controls, I'm 14 hours in and just unlocked the last area and yet another gameplay mechanic:

Drones!

This game just makes me feel good when I play it.

 

[ggx2ac]

I don't really post, but I found a softlock in the game and can't progress further, about 9 hours into the game.

At Tidy Parks, the second party,

Spoiler

after you collect all of the antique clubs, take the etiquette lesson and get a caddy.

DO NOT save and quit inside of the party. If you do, this happens:

See the top of the screen to see my character model.

You can't really move around much or interact with anything. Your character model is screwed up and can actually walk off screen. You cannot leave the area, save and quit doesn't do anything. I literally can't play story mode on this file anymore atm.

I emailed the devs, here's hoping it gets fixed. I'd rather not lose all that progress. I was loving the game thus far too.

That's lame, a game-breaking bug.

 

[oatmeal]

That hot potato shot for Max Yards was super frustrating. Eventually it worked but I don’t know what I did differently from the first 40’attempts.

 

[Yohanov]

Golf Story is really fun for what it is but if you want strictly golf, it's no Neo Turf Masters.

I'm not comparing the two but referencing a specific idea which happen to be from NTM, : bumps on the greens (which most 2d golf games dont have either).

Some occasional bumps would have made the golfing more interesting without making the game harder for casual players. See some of the recent comments about the golfing being too easy.

By the way, NTM is not a golf sim at all, it's pure arcade. Try link 2003 if you want too see real golf.

 

[UpsideDownAce]

Just got to the

in Tidy Park. This game is something else haha!

Where do I find the tidy park item

Do I have to beat that girl at disc golf to progress the story, after completing the second area? I just can't do it

You have to complete the objectives in Oak Manor

Thank you! Didn't think I would find the 4th item when the other 3 were in a singular area.

Yeah, the putting in this game is putting a real damper on my enjoyment of its golf gameplay.

Spoiler

You’ll need to beat all three challenges, spend some time just practicing and remember that the harder you throw the harder the disc is to control.

The grass mowing montage was hilarious.

I’m sure it’s on purpose, but the landscaper is straight up chef from Wet Hot

Gotta leave some room to improve with a Golf Story 2!

THE ENDING IS SHOCKING

I am not the only one that got that impression.

Nintendolife review

How many reviews will it have in Metacritic? I think IGN said in NVC they were reviewing it.

Edit:

Seems the devs are looking at the reddit thread with bugs for a future patch.

Oh shit (last area spoilers)

There's a fountain fairy?!

Just dove in on a flight from Boston to SF. Got about 5 hours in.

Game is awesome. So much fun.

Also, Switch on flights? Game changer.

Thanks Pastry! You are both a delicious treat and helpful at gaming.

I love it. It's fittingly weird and underproduced.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

How you beat lauras challenge?

 

[Fantastical]

3rd Course:

I think it's a little north east.

Spoiler

There is a tree with no stump.

Look around that area.

Spoiler

You will see a small tree, like half buried, dig and you will find the coin

 

[mugurumakensei]

How you beat lauras challenge?

Activate precision mode (y button). You'll figure it out from there.

 

[Zomba13]

If this is the challenge early on in the game, you need to bounce the ball off the path like she says.

I think i am, not getting anywhere though. And I did activate precision mode

 

[Hasney]

Yasssss, finishing the cache quests spoiler

Spoiler

You out the final treasure in the fountain fairy's fountain, then you can dig up... GALF NIGHTS! It was never even released!

I put my first GALF Nights shot into the water and then it came up "Oh no a naked crab". I think this game may have been banned from sale!

Without spoilers, yes the cache quests are worth finishing.

 

[jmartoine]

Spent two hours trying to do the feeding the fish quest not knowing I had to hit flowers into the water rather than balls!

Today I played golf story while taking a shit. I can only describe it as a religious experience.

 

[mrklaw]

Is there anywhere to practice putting? Feels like the greens are quite severe - even 'slight slope' seems to have a big effect on the ball.

Enjoying it so far, only got to the point where the coach will actually coach me so still early

 

[MassiveNights]

This game is very, very good.

 

[ElGoldur]

How do I spark the

edit: I think I got it

 

[gingerbeardman]

Thank you. I'm going to go and weep & scream in a in a corner now, but thank you.

I did the same. It was only after I tried another colour and a counter popped up that I realized they must not be the red birds I'm looking for.

 

[Hazu]

Wow I just lost two hours of progress because my ball got stuck while playing mini putt (was on course 4 I think?).

Couldn't do anything about it. Make sure you save before playing it!

 

[Jon]

Loving this game so far. Just good vibes. Definitely reminiscent of Mario Golf on GBC in some respects.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Nevermind, I got myself unstuck.

 

[gbpackers25]

I know absolutely nothing about this game other than it's an rpg with golf being the main gameplay. I'm really considering picking this up though

Do it. Its pretty cheap.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, $15 isn't that bad at all

My word this game is great.

Just had to

[Ladekabel]

Like the game. Just something to play to feel good.

But man, there should be another way to change your clubs. Or is there another way than the analogue stick and I haven't found it yet.
