Putting is probably the hardest part of the game, especially on the later courses.

Until you're five hours in and you realize you've slowly started to hate it.

maybe i should play it more to decide
How far in are you? Event-wise, as I don't remember the chapters.
I dislike it(but its just a little, I'm trying to get over the shitty combat, which is what I hate about it).

Episode 5. Bought it as soon as it went live on PSN. :lol
That was my big problem too, and it unfortunately only gets worse.
Did I not just say event-wise as I don't remember the chapters.
Are you doing this on purpose.
He's just saying there is no (or not enough) momentum behind that initiative, plus Sony's taking too long to make it relevant/exciting in the fast evolving mobile space.
The motivation behind PS Mobile is good though.

i wasn't reading right i'm still out of it from the dentist
Spoilers for GR!
Right after you meet the homeless guy or whatever in that weird door in the wall.
That was yesterday. I thought your teeth were hurt, not your brain. Spoilers for The Grim Heaper's life:
Did you get your wisdom teeth pulled?
Ah, it was still good for me then too. Wait until you hit the double digits.
I have no idea. I'm using the circle one?

I need an answer. I've been eyeing Shinobido for awhile now
Stop eying it and get Metal Gear instead.

So excited for Sound shapes!
not sure on clothing since my second character was a female.
A good note is that your skills carry over though. So if you had like 60 net skills, you still have it on the new character.
You first TBH *looks at your name*
EDIT: Coqui (inside joke)
I'll get it tomorrow, when I go take this shitty game back.
Oh, good. I wanted to make a female character too, but figured that skills wouldn't carry over at all, so didn't bother to ask. Glad to see I was wrong.

I had some fillings a couple years ago. One one them sat high and was giving me a terrible headache and jaw pains. He drilled it down and relief was like instant.
LOL give it a chance
I've BEEN giving it chances. The putting is totally broken. There's this little hill but the ball reacts like it just bounced off of a stray bullet.

Yep, that is exactly what happened to me I believe. My jaw still hurts a bit because I've been grinding my teeth so much the past week, but I think it'll be all good tomorrow.
you're being so mean ;_;
What? The putting is similar to most golf games I have ever played.
Oh, hard = broken. I see now.
I just wish the game would walk you through all of its broken gimmicks before punishing you for following its instructions. :x
Yes, broken. I've played hard games that are hard because you don't do things right.
HSG's putting is broken because the ball physics are ridiculous.

This is why people shouldn't judge games based on their graphics. Hot Shots Golf is more hardcore than Dark Souls!
It's all about the player's skill. You'll

Gauge meter is by far my favourite, you unlock more. I could see myself using the straight meter too down the line.
You unlock new clubs, characters, balls all of which drastically change the game. Including real gimmick power shots.

No sense in keeping games that frustrate. Dark Souls was an exercise of frustration. Had it, wanted to play it again, since I'd recently beaten Dragons Dogma. I was quitting smoking - its been 11 days, yay- (mentioned in party chat), decided to play Dark Souls. Wrong call - traded it in so fast. That game had me desiring like 20 cigs at a time. No thanks. I admire what games are trying to do, but like shoes, not all fit. Nothing wrong with that.
I don't see anything that idiosyncratic about driving the ball. Its just timing, also make sure you put spin on it.
Putting is HARD. Not broken just hard. You have to learn how to manage your speed on the breaks to get the break you want. You just have to keep putting on slants to get used to it.
The game is very very rewarding. If you think you may enjoy it at all, I would suggest staying with it.

I kinda want to get HSG, are there any rpg elements to it?
The only RPGish type thing I saw was increasing someone's loyalty.
Solid i thought you were talking about Gravity Rush not HSG. RIP
No man, I'm on one of the later chapters and I'm digging the story in GRush.

Hmm, is it an open world type of thing where you go to different courses? I'm looking for a game that reminds me of mario golf on game boy.

I'd said unlocking new clubs, balls, characters and stuff is kind of RPGish too.
And it's not open world, you do each rank is five courses, or front 9 then back 9x2 then full course followed by a 'boss' battle duel. Beat the boss to unlock that character and open the next tier.
You have much to learn, my friend.
Sidespin - Ball will curve as it flies through the air. Useful when there's a large obstacle in the way, and you want to drive the ball around it.
Topspin - Ball will keep rolling after landing. Useful when you're hitting on to the fairway, gives it a bit of extra distance.
Backspin - Ball will roll less after landing. Useful when you're hitting on to the green, so it doesn't overshoot the hole.
How does one do these spins?
ok cool, I'll look into it. Thanks.
Toki, I just PM'd a link to you that shows you how.
If you are boycotting VideoGamesPlus, there's still Game(s)universe.com (don't remember if it's plural or not, atm, and am too lazy to check). They have decent prices and not too horrible p&p fees.
During the swing, hold one direction on the D-pad when setting the power, then hold the opposite direction when setting the impact. So for topspin,
1. Press X to start the swing
2. Hold down on the D-pad
3. Press X to set the power
4. Hold up on the D-pad
5. Press X to set the impact
Edit: I should've mentioned this is for super spin. For normal spin, you only need to hold the direction when setting the impact. But you should always do super spin, it's just better.
