Sorry, guy.
Unless I am confused the only bug/weirdness I have experienced so far is I landed a shot on that first 9 holes mission. Landed with a thud and no roll whatsoever square on the fairway and said "BUNKER".


Oh and also this:

[quote="“Beastie”" post="“476883761”"]
The camera fucks up sometimes when I move it to scope the pin. I’ve had it refuse to center on the character/ball.

Really wish I had a course map. Hell, even a hole layout would be nice.

Oak Manor is my favorite area so far. Just totally insane and out of left field.

Anyone picked up the Skimming Woods? I didn't really see the point. I assume they help on more windy holes since they're lower lofted?

I'm very impressed at the variety of problems you solve by swinging a golf club. It's a very "if all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" sort of thing.

Anyone else hit this bug in Cheekybeak Peak...

When returning eggs to the cheekybirds, even if you hit the red egg to the red area and the bird retrieves it, you don't get credit for the shot.

You might not be hitting it to the right birds. You're not aiming for the ones that are on the course as hazards, the ones you want are off the central island.

It’s not a bug, just unclear. Look around for a bird sitting by itself.

Took me way too long to figure that out.

It's extremely useful in a very small number of edge cases. It won't come up very often, but when it does it's a lifesaver.

And it's no more expensive than the midgame clubs, soo...

Blue Moon Dunes is giving me conniptions. It's set up perfectly to lure you into taking risky shots and then punish you for loving up.

EDIT: It's done. I've finished it. Golf Story... is over :negative:

holy poo poo I expected that to make even shorter putts like it makes shorter non-putt shots (because I don't golf so lol at knowing what "approach" means) but yeah holding ZR fixed it trivially

Two questions now:
-Where's the dynamo parts? I tried checking the greenskeeper's place and asking Lucky but neither were correct.
-The guy who wants caching coins, is there a way to find caches? Like the archaeologist gave me a radar for the idol bit but then he took it back. Is it just noticing territory that looks weird?

Read the hints. It's pretty explicit about telling you where to go.
And the 5 coins is a long term quest. You'll find them as you go.

You can spoiler this but how do I disc golf?? I mean I have the disc and I can throw it. I challenge the girl at Wellworn and all I can do is throw it (FAR!)!in one of 4 useless cardinal directions.

Also: at Lurker, how can I run faster? The foot race is... impossible in my current capability.

- Press B to run faster
- Try moving the left stick left and right after throwing the disc. You'll get the hang of it eventually (though it still kinda sucks)

You use the laundry token in the laundry to get the red ball, which you use in the... lounge? Library? On the minigolf course there to get the book down.

That, plus the meal, plus a... I think it was a chamomile soda? Will get the lady on reception to head for bed, at which point you can go outside.

Oh, if you haven't noticed yet, if you hide under the tables next to NPCs you can overhear them talking to themselves/each other. Do that and they'll practically tell you what you have to do.

Modes. Hit up/down on the D-Pad and you can use Focus (slower hit bar), Power (more distance) and Tee-Up (ignore terrain penalties) modes. You've got a limited stock of energy for it, though- three uses. Something charges it, I think maybe hitting a perfect stroke?

Yeah, this game is a fantastic little gem but it is hands down the buggiest thing ive played in the last few years. Ive had 2 different bugs occurring regularly on the mini golf course (one which is game breaking) and Ive had to take a break from the game so I dont get too mad.

Ive had that mid-air bug every time Ive tried to play through. Fortunately the ball resets after finishing the hole, but twice my ball has hit terrain and stuck inside it, and I cant pause or move, have to restart the game.

Yeah, I was just missing how to get access to where you use said item. Figured it out immediately when showing someone what I was doing. Felt like a total moron.

Edit: Really, though, the entire Tidy Park arc keeps topping itself. Just when I think it's stopping, the madness train keeps on rolling.

Yeah I had to go to gamefaqs to figure out after returning the idol I need to talk to the mushrooms again. Which allowed me to pick them up and they are turtles. It is not immediately obvious when you are told to return the idol to solve the puzzle it means do something entirely different. Finding the idol in an totally different place than everyone tells you to look too.

Ruins the immersion.
