Title: Hot Shots Golf 5 FAILS miserably.
Post by: hyp on March 19, 2008, 06:44:19 PM
can't save in the middle of a SINGLE PLAYER match.  but hey, there's an option to do a SOFT RESET in the middle of a match!  L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + START + SELECT!  it gets better:

Quote from: Hot Shots Manual
You can use this to interrupt a round in progress and return to the Main Menu. Be aware that the records for the interrupted round will not be saved, and you will not be able to resume the interrupted round.

 :gloomy :gloomy :gloomy :gloomy

i take back what i said about this game.  THIS IS BULLSHIT.  someone please prove me wrong and tell me there's a way to save.  i checked the manual and there is no indication whatsoever.  no way in hell am i going to have time to complete entire 9-18 hole tourneys in one sitting most of the time.

i forgot to mention there's a mandatory install as well.  and it's looooong.  ps3 :gloomy

It doesn't take THAT long to do a game.  I used to play like at least 3 Hot Shots PSP matches before bed, and it didn't take that long.  Those are 9 holes though.

This is prolly going to be one of my GOTY picks.  Best sony franchise by far.

Ergh

The visuals are really shimmery.  I actually quit the game to make sure I had it running at the right resolution.  For a game without impressive visuals, it's a bit jaggie, too.

And the new shooting style kinda blows.

The Hot Shots Golf 5 threads showed us just how outright distinguished mentally-challenged and DELUSIONAL most EBers are. You guys are pathetic, worthless biased imbeciles who think they're funny when you're about as FUNNY AS STOMACH ACHE.

I'll read Beyond3D before reading any console thread of significance here from now on. Xbox fans are the dumbest videogame fans ever and arguing with them is just a total waste of time. This forum where 90% of the people are sold to the Xbox in advance looks like an alien wasteland.

That makes me hate and be annoyed by your fucking worthless guts even more! Listen, I WANT to hear great arguments, great rhetoric, intelligent replies by Xbots, but WHY DO YOU GUYS SUCK SO MUCH SHIT? WHY DO YOU HERALD FUCKING _DRINKY CROW_ AS A PROPHET?

That's the DUMBEST fucking THING I EVER READ. If I invented 100 grand claims a day that didn't make any sense, maybe one or two of them would become true once in a while? I prefer to stay grounded in total reason instead.

God, this game is so beautiful and relaxing. The same gameplay as in the old PS1/PS2 games, but now with  great next-gen graphics that truly make you feel like you're on vacation. OMG, the lighting! OMG, the traditional japanese golf course that's next to the sea looks HOT!

Best game of next-gen with + best reason to own a PS3 yet, HANDS DOWN

We can race each other down the banisters! wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I'd rather not use voice chat anyway, it ruins the atmosphere. After the game we can go back to my pad for a post match discussion of ways Little Big Planet will advance gaming and why it can only be realised on the PS3

I have to admit that I only used it for a few holes, but I found the advanced shot to not give enough visual feedback for me to effectively play the game.  Give me the precise, old school sliding bar any day.

I'd be happy with advanced shot if Japan stumbled into the new century and allowed me to use an analogue stick for my swing. But tring to time button presses on animation with poor feedback? EPIC FAIL
Title: Re: Hot Shots Golf 5 FAILS miserably part 3.
Post by: Van Cruncheon on March 20, 2008, 12:07:48 AM
fuck analog stick -- that ain't hot shots. i don't like the advanced swing much -- like tvc says, it lacks any useful feedback -- but its lightyears more engaging than a tiger woods-esque analog shit swing. or worse: WAGGLE SWING. the appeal of hot shots isn't that it tries to accurately recreate the feeling of golf, but rather it plays like one of those old artillery games from the apple ii era.

What the fuck NO.  It's your typical Hot Shots style game with excellent controls (for once Wii comes through) and no general interface bullshit problems.  You fucking load it up and go play golf.  No waiting 3 hours to install, no problems, no nothing...just fun.

oh come off it, MnG online is one of my favourite games of all time, i sunk hours of my life into the game and MGS5 is a step backwards.

It's had a graphics upgrade, we have a new control method, less extras and the same distinguished mentally-challenged online system which may have been acceptable back then, but to replicate the same horrid system in this gen is a) not acceptable b) ignored the complaints that were out there.

the sad thing here is the only way Sony will get better at this crap is if multi console owners keep moaning because sony fans seem happy to bend over and take it again and again and instead of asking Sony to improve/get better, they just clap and accept it all.

MnG5 -is- a good game, but it could and should have been much better.

I want something I can play adequately while extremely fucked up, which means no waggle.  The Wii is largely showing the same pattern as the DS:  the best games are usually the ones that don't heavily subscribe to their system's gimmick.

We Love Golf is a golf game where you use the Wiimote as a virtual golf club. Okay, so that's not much of a surprise. We were pleasantly surprised by the feel of the controls, though. The game does a good job of accurately capturing your swings. Like the best waggle-ready titles, it gets you to assume a proper golfer's stance even though you could probably get away with playing while seated.

To take a swing, you hold down A and swing the Wiimote just like a golf club.

You do use the Wiimote, but not like in Pangya.  I think the best way to describe is "relaxed" waggle control.  You just use the Wiimote to line up the shot bar instead of clicking a button like in Hot Shots.  That's it.  The Wiimote (no nunchuck needed) is also used to control the entire game...move it upwards to get an overhead shot of the course, back down to return to normal, etc.  It's awesome controls.  For once.

IGN is on some serious "jap bastard shit or what" stuff.

Sounds like waggleish shit Lyte.  I'm not dusting off my Wii and finding the controller my cat keeps hiding for that.

Oh, it IS waggle, just not over the top crazy like Super Swing Golf does it.  I wouldn't describe "golf stances" and "swinging" as terms that fit into We Love Golf.  Epic, epic fail from that "journalist."  

Perhaps the fact that you DON'T do this is why Wiitards in Japan didn't eat it up.  :'(

Also, I think the thread topic pretty much justifies everything when a thread about how miserable a game is DERAILS.  Clearly talking about panties and waggle is more fun than playing Hot Shots Golf 5.  The year of PS3 continues!

Which you have been doing for years now.  Quite the unhealthy obsession!  It's a way for you to try and pass off your own perverted tendencies off as nothing, I get it.  You should come to the Japan where you can be among your fellow nerds and not have to worry what society thinks of you.  Plenty of loli for you to oggle!

Microsoft not having a big Japanese foothold is great when it comes to this stuff. Sony and Nintendo and the other third parties just do not get online. They just do not. Capcom-- still on online in monster hunter portable, charges for online in console MHs. Sega-- Phantasy Star Unibortion. Nintendo-- lol. Sony-- Japanese studios do not have voice chat in their games, do not have standard features. Konami-- somehow tries to shoehorn Metal Gear into an online game. Square Enix-- Crystal Chronicles DS without online, somehow made FFXI online by some voodoo magic.

some big fucking disaster in that country

This is the only game where it's been anything resembling an issue.

My friend with rock Band on PS3 has it terrible--the game's controls are lagged like a half second behind the music in the game.  He's done everything to try to correct it.
Title: Re: Hot Shots Golf 5 FAILS miserably.
Post by: drohne on March 23, 2008, 08:07:04 PM
it's presumably display lag rather than controller lag -- all fixed-pixel hdtvs have got some. if your tv has a 'game mode' that should help.

i'm unhappy with my tv in various ways, but it lags so little that i'm kind of hesitant to upgrade

Title: Re: Hot Shots Golf 5 FAILS miserably.
Post by: drohne on March 23, 2008, 11:00:15 PM
unless it's a crt projection set, it's doing the same kind of scaling and digital image processing as an lcd or plasma, and that's what causes lag. i won't try to tell you what you are or aren't experiencing, but i don't see why or how clap hanz would let input lag creep into a game that's extremely sensitive to it -- that would be more than 'technically blah'

I'm personally playing on a 65" Toshiba DLP (1080p)

I'm wondering if people experiencing Blue Tooth dropouts and other problems in the past could experience a slight lag. In my case, I could be subconciously compensating and I don't notice.

I wonder what Drinky's playing at. Would suck if the game is 1080p native or something and the internal scaler is fucking shit up.
Title: Re: Hot Shots Golf 5 FAILS miserably.
Post by: TVC15 on March 23, 2008, 11:43:31 PM
According to the back of the box, the game is 720p, so if you're playing it at 1080p, I'm guessing the PS3 is upscaling it.
Title: Re: Hot Shots Golf 5 FAILS miserably.
Post by: drohne on March 23, 2008, 11:49:39 PM
720p ps3 games won't upscale unless you disable 720p in the dashboard. maybe the timing feels laggy because it's 30fps? iirc all the other games are 60

I've also noticed that the framerate stutters, sometimes, usually associated with hitting an obstacle.  I had the ball bouncing between a tree and a rock, and it was definitely a bit choppy.  The more I play, the more I think that the tech was just kinda rushed.  I really hope workable online is included in the sequel.

I didn't even think of that.  You know, last night, when I was playing and it was bugging me, I did have it plugged in.  The other day, when I first got the game, I didn't have it plugged in, but at the time I wasn't experiencing lag.  Maybe it has something to do with the controller being charged while playing?

I can do more tests later.  or tomorrow.

ps3 controllers actually use the usb connection if you plug them in -- you never get signal dropouts that way. 360 controllers just charge over usb.
