And I think that the game is a huge disappointment.
I didn't want to admit it at the start because it was great to have everybody golf on ps4. But all the initial hope and excitement has left me and the game is just plain dull and annoying. Heres why.....
Custom clubs - who even wanted these introduced to the game? Does the game need them? They ruin the golf experience of the game by making most par 4s driveable off the tee making it just a boring game of pitch n putt and producing rediculously low scores. I personally think that Sony thought these up as a way of squeezing micro payments from players, without a care as to what it will actually do for the game. It certainly does not enhance the game.
Farming - what an absolute joke. A golf game where you have to waste hours collecting coins and gems to get clubs that spoil the game? Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to introduce that to the game???? Totally not needed
Online graded tournaments - where the feck are they??? These were by far the best feature of the previous titles and the main reason for buying the game. Who in their right mind would bring out a new game and think it's a good idea to remove the best bit?! Can you imagine the reaction if a new call of duty came out and didn't have the best online features! It's never gonna happen because they are not STUPID. The current tournament set up (once a bloody month) is a joke. 2 rounds of golf in 6 days is pointless.
Courses/greens - can't put my finger on it, but the courses just feel easier and a little less imaginative compared to previous?
I do like the open courses and I liked the idea of fishing. However I thought that the open courses and fishing would basically act as waiting lobbies as per previous titles while we all wait for whatever tournaments we were signed up to so you can practice, talk to friends or go fishing for a bit of fun.
Home area - what's the point?
Character building - a good new addition to be fair
Sorry to waffle on, but I am so frustrated that this game is so poor when it could have been so fantastic. All they had to do was give us the best bits of the previous titles with the added benefit and power of the ps4 along with a global server for amazing all day graded tournaments. But sadly I feel we have a rushed game developed by people who did not consider what the people who were going to buy the game actually wanted. For me it's a disaster
Normally if you purchase something sub standard you can complain. But how do you complain about a sub standard ps4 game??? Feels like they can get away with selling a poor game with no consequence.
