The Golf Club 2

I just bought the 2019 version on PS4 for around £24 last night, hated it at first as I was slicing everything and realised the tempo was massively off which was causing it. Confused me for a few holes as my swing place was fine but once you get the knack its quite satisfying.

Echo what Dan says really.

Happy to kill some downtime with it, hopefully more licensing filters through for player names etc. to give it a bit more immersion.
 
It is indeed a licensing issue. For games to be made backwards compatible they need a "wrapper" adding to them by Microsoft, which allows them to be emulated, so they need permission/license to edit each game to add said wrapper. Companies have got around this emulation in the past, Sony did it with the PS3 by building PS2 built into it so PS2 and PS1 games wouldn't need any emulation in order to run, they'd just run as if they were running on the native console.
 
Found another golf game that's well worth a play if you happen to own a Switch - Golf Story. I'd heard about it in the build up to getting my Switch as it's the only remotely decent Golf game on the system but wasn't sure it would be for me as I'm not an RPG guy normally, but boy was I wrong. It's basically an RPG in the graphical style of the old-school Pokemon games but based on golf. The golf gameplay itself is pretty simple timed pressing of one button but the game feels like a real labour of love, or at least something designed by someone who has an obvious love for Golf. The dialog and story are funny and engaging with a load of jokes you just wouldn't get if you weren't into golf. I've played through the first section of the game and I'm loving it, one of the most refreshing and fun sports titles I've played in a long time.

Completed it mate!!!!

It's actually a fun little game. As long as you don't take things too seriously, and the dialogue is funny. Would second the recommendation to those with a Switch.
 
I downloaded The Golf Club 2019 at the weekend as it's currently free with Xbox Live.
Loving it so far, everything seems much better although I'm still absolutely dross at chipping.
If anyone fancies a game on Xbox my gamertag is Beezerk funnily enough :LOL:
 
Is the putting better than TGC2?? I've been mulling over downloading this lately, although I haven't checked how much it is on PS4.
 
I only played the original and putting was a nightmare, it seems much better on this version, more TW esque with the grid but it's still down to judgement with the backswing. Took me no time to get used to it though, I was banging them in from all over the place after a while.

*some of the above may not exactly be true* :LOL:
 
Putting is fine on the 2019 version I never played any of the past versions, putting takes a bit of getting use to, first round never played before and I'm 7 over

That's decent. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I had the Golf Club 2 but the putting was awful. I frequently 5 and 6 putted, which is even worse than I putt in real life. :LOL: Glad to hear it's not that bad in the new one.

What level did you set it at? I had easy first go and won by miles so have it at medium now. I still win a lot of comps but not every one and they're a lot closer. I'll bump it up to hard once I get better.
Btw what do the advanced clubs do? Longer but less forgiving?

I'm at beginner just now just to get used to it and I'll bump it up medium once I get better, I just played a ghost game and I'll get into some comps later, I'm not sure what the advance clubs do still new to the game, I'd imagine your correct with less forgiving and longer,
