More like tiger from a gameplay perspective, but not sure if it has all the bells and whistles yet.  Also not sure what kind of tours will be possible.  Hope to play more over weekend.  Also seems like u really need to use controller.

MetalDog is going to be really upset when he sees that you started this thread early.

............without an appropriate kickass song link too


Not a problem in the least.  Got the music right here.  Was going to call this, 'Whole Lotta FRIDAY!!'





And I don't think there will be much game playing this weekend.  Just got a new project on the computer to get started on and the lawn will need mowed.  Sunday will be with my family.

Still in a sporting mood......Action!PC Golf will likely be the main game for me this weekend again....continue to love playing tournaments in this game...living the dream through a PC game since I can't certainly golf well in real life.

Grim, did you see this at Steam?
Bugger LUGS! That post wasn't even meant for me and it's now on my PC!

I do like a good golf game - but there's been precious few about of late.

lol - I should've read your comment GR. I can't seem to play without a controller.

I'd prefer to play with mouse, but I can't see how to set it up!

Well - I'll do some reading. If they're going to add mouse control, then maybe I'll just setup some courses for the time being and wait. Otherwise, I'll get a controller. I had one...I used to play Madden but that kind of suggests how old my controller might be. Where the hell it is though I have NO idea!

Based on what I read it is primarily designed for controller, but does have so e basic mouse control.  I believe you use and hold right mouse button to aim and then hold the left mouse button to drag down and up to take shot.  But does seem like some people have issues.  From the start they were really pushing controller since I think this will be a cross platform release with Xbox and ps 4.

For jd, a thread on how to use mouse in the new golf club game

I kind of stumbled across it in game once you mentioned it. Thanks for the link though

I actually don't mind the implementation of the mouse...I mean, it doesn't really bother me that there's no "3-click" option.

It's kind of difficult at the moment not knowing how much effort your putting into your swing - and I don't even know how they'd implement that with their controllers. But it is Alpha. Looks great and plays pretty good. The editor looks like it can give you massive amounts of courses. Superb stuff.

I started an epic game of CK II tonight.  Nothing like being in a fight to the death for my Duchy with my great uncle who is married to my sister.....
You've gotta love how that game is just one huge soap opera.  ;D 

By the by, how's the game running with the new patch?  I've not done more than dink around with it a little since the latest update.

I've had no issues with it and I'm pretty far into my game.

And I agree the stories that come out of this game could make an awesome tv series.

My main concern right now is a lot of the game seems geared towards multiplayer versus single player.  Either way will be a good casual game but would have loved to see single player tours like the old tiger woods game used to have and actual ai golfers

Decisive Campaigns WtP. I got 2 more turns to capture Warsaw in Case White against a very determined Polish AI. Fortunately, I've got my heavy arty in place and my best units at the city gates with some very helpful cards saved to play to boost performance. And good weather. What could go wrong? Also trying to get Easter presents in past my All-Seeing Wife, for her. This is the same woman who, if I speak to a strange woman in line at the check-out at Wal-Mart, when I get home asks me, "Who was that woman you were talking to"? I think she's wired into their security-feed. :o

A non-gaming weekend....away visiting family for Easter, won't be back until Monday. Sure wish I could afford to enter the world of mobile gaming on a pad device of some sort. Retirement is awesome but it does crimp the spending $$$$'s.

I picked up LnL Heroes of Stalingrad and The Last Federation but dunno if I'll even fire them up this weekend.  Because I'm all ZOMGBIPLANESPEWPEWFTW!!

Plus some family in town which means the kids are having a knockdown/drag-out war to be sole Caesar with Conquest of the Empire on the table(s).
