Yeah, I was fine until like course 4, managed to star them all, but course 5 I've only tried like 3 times, but end up in last each time. Almost want to try out easy mode, but it feels dirty. Instead I've held off from playing it and just went back and started crowning events. Not even knowning what they were, I somehow crowned every full course I've played on my first try. Now I've looked them up and doing them earning money to buy better equipment to take on course 5

Welcome

I was just about to get my first birdie but my Vita suddenly run out of juice, I didn't even notice, lol.

I knew HSG5 had easy mode, I didn't know the Vita version did. I've gotten stars on all but 3 of the last events. I guess that makes me feel pretty good
And get it if you're like me and don't like sports or tennis!
Yeah, I don't want to start it now because it'll just be me, all lonely and sad.
On the bright side once you power it back up I believe it should pick up where it died.
Rush out and get them today. All sports games are 50% off at gamestop. I got HSG for $15, and Gamestop gave me a free online pass printed on my receipt.
I'll get on Gaf chat tonight and stay until there's a lot of people present and the ecosystem can sustain itself.

All used sports games.
Yeah I was going to get it but my GS only had it new.

So you're saying that having an open platform for developing Vita apps is a bad thing and nobody cares about it? Because PlayStation Suite was rebranded to PlayStation Mobile -- so while the stuff like the Xperia or whatever that played downloaded psOne games might be forgotten, the ability to use PS Mobile to do things like the dude did with allowing the Vita to remotely play L4D with motion controls? I don't think there's anything but upside there, so long as we can get enough talented people in the Vita community who care enough to support it.
Holy crap, it really did
Thanks Vita!
The PSP did it too which is why I guessed, but glad to see the Vita handles running out of battery just as well as the PSP.
It's showing up with the regular price on their store page, but if you can find it in store, it should be $17.50 today.
Oh.All used sports games.
Yeah, it's a really nice function. Never had something like that before.
Birdied it too! ^_^
Virtua Tennis 4 doesn't have an online pass.
Nice. I picked up the game on PSN when it was half off a couple weeks ago but I suck at it lol. I like the presentation of the game though. Just wish it looked a little nicer.
HSG Vita was my first HSG game. And yep, I sucked at first too. But after hours of practice, I started to feel my skills improving, which was incredibly satisfying. I chickened out and started using easy mode in the middle of rank 4 though, heh. After getting some better equipment, I've been able to star rank 4 and most of rank 5. But damn, rank 6 is killer.
My advice is to buy only the characters, clubs, and balls from the shop that you really want. The game doesn't give you much points, so you'll want to focus your spending.
Control is the most important stat, for beginners and pros alike. It's the accuracy of the golfer.
Impact is nice for beginners, but you should try to get used to having a small impact zone.
Between Power and Spin, I think Spin is a little more important. I find myself using topspin and backspin very often.
Here's a good writeup on how to play the game.
One thing I didn't notice for a long time was the lay of the ball. It's shown in the bottom right corner. The ball will leave roughly perpendicular from the ground. It makes a huge difference when you're on a slope.

What's up with the free online pass? Is that status quo? I might have to drop in and buy both HSG and VT4 then.
Also, can you stack additional coupons on it? I think I have some GameStock coupon.

So my vita is having an issue. The power is on, ps button glows blue, but the screen is blank. I hold the power button to go into safe mode, and have tried all the options; rebuild database, restore, restart, etc, and they all just go back to the black screen.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone else have this problem?
Oh? Will buy Virtua Tennis if i find a copy later before i go to work
I really with my GS had it. This golf-anime nonsense is making me angry. -_-"
Not sure, but I would take the coupon just in case. And about the Online Pass, yeah, I think they're doing it for most games now. My friend got Resistance and they printed out the online code on his receipt too.
Welcome
Speaketh the truth.
thanks guys :3
yeah gravity rush is one of the games i bought a vita for (that, wipeout and uncharted), been drooling over it for a bit. however i often make the mistake of falling in love with the new buying everything cool at once on a new system and spending too much money and getting overwhelmed with single player games so i'm going to wait till i finish uncharted before getting it.
i love tennis and virtua tennis in general, played a lot of WT on psp, but it's still £34.99 on the store so will wait for a drop.
will look into mutant blobs, not familiar with it.
hot shots sounds like it's worth it from the response here. gonna grab it then.

Wait so sports games are 50% off at Gamestop, including HSG? Wow.. I think I might have to throw my money at that.
Liked Uncharted, but hated it by the end so I traded it for Gravity Rush here on Neogaf. I'm loving it, and I'm almost done. So after Uncharted, you have another great game to look forward to.
Totally agree.
I think they are looking at it strictly from the perspective of market share, which is completely wrongheaded IMO. It should really be seen as a gateway into PSN development for amateurs, hobbyists, and other indies. The cool things that people are doing right now (that may or may not end up on PSN) is a terrific bonus.

It's probably made mostly redundant by the PS3 beta.

Ugh so juicy. I want this game, so bad ._. This is very interesting though, this means you can do more neutral and non-harmful sacrifices to help preserve your humanity. I really, really love how this game is shaping up.

You can start any time. But traffic seems to come more @ nighttime haha
yeah even lunch started talking
Wish both you and lunch would talk ;0) it'd be a lot of fun to have a roundtable discussion.
Sucks - I've got the post nasal drip happening = grumpy
must not catch cold. Must not catch cold. I work tonight too, so my cynical self will be absent. Bah.
Since neither you nor Kyon will be on tonight, I'll make sure to talk!Wish both you and lunch would talk ;0) it'd be a lot of fun to have a roundtable discussion.

Good, good.
Also, I haven't been this angry at a game since Dark Souls. WHY DOESN'T THE BALL GO WHERE I WANT IT TO GO.
That is all.

Can we do anything about the control scheme for PSP games on Vita, I forget.
Can't be arsed to buy Vice City Stories if I have to play with arse controls.

I just got an eagle mwahaha
please don't hurt me
Just got my first Birdie. Went from 13th place two holes ago to 2nd. I'm starting to breath again.
You can map the right analog to the PSP d-pad or face buttons
I heard here that the controls don't benefit from the second analog. I think foryourvitahype.com did a little inside look of it running of Vita, so check it out.
If you liked the demo, you'll love the game.

What shot scheme are you guys using for HSG? I'm using the Advanced Shots, since it's what I got used to on the PS3.

If you like the demo, you can expect the full game to be great.
I have no idea, but I'm getting really ticked with my putts always landing .5, .4 and .3 from the freaking hole.
