Re: Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions

Right now there are 5 Courses with the game that you unlock plus 2 more DLC Courses. In Japan there is actually a Season Pass and they've released a decent amount of DLC in their previous games so I don't see why it would change now. A good bonus is that the game isn't $60 retail which is nice. The only major drawback you might have is that the game uses the old-school '3-click system' for hitting the ball.

I wasn't able to find a list or pictures online of all the courses (and I am not trying to peddle my youtube channel) but in my signature I have a bunch of VS Matches and I have to believe I've faced them on every course by now if you want to see what they look like during gameplay. Otherwise off the top of my head...

1. Eagle City G.C. - First course, very basic. Setting is that of a major city.
2. Alpina Forest - Lots of hills with mountains/forest as the setting. Some holes feature large elevation changes.
3. Kanaloa Beach Resort - A beach (duh) slight bump in difficulty, some holes have unique layouts that use the 'beach' theme well.
4. Vortex Valley - The first Course that has a good spike in difficulty. Definitely uses the Grand Canyon as its theme, lots of changes in elevation.
5. Imperial Garden - Hardest course in the game at the moment. Classic 'Euro'-feeling course that also features pot bunkers and long grass.
6. (DLC) Green C.C. - Original Course from the first ever Hot Shots Golf game. Very basic but features popular background music that was in the original.
7. (DLC) Balata C.C - Course from Hot Shots Golf 2. Another basic course.

(Edit) Another thing to note, each 9-Hole (IN) and (OUT) are considered their own "Lobbies" during Online play, so when you unlock all 5 Courses and go online there are 10 Lobbies in total (14 if you have both DLC Courses)

Im loving the vortex valley.
Seems like there is alot of opportunities for some bank shots. and lots of different ways to play the holes. Very tricky course.

I want to do Turf War with a bunch of OS'ers. Seems like a lot of fun. Is there team voice chat in it?

Unfortunately, no. You can't pair up with friends either (to my knowledge). I have been able to play with my Brother by having both of us queue at the same time but you can't choose which team you're on.

I really love the game and have put a TON of hours into it already, but it still needs some major changes to Online. There needs to be an incentive to play Turf War... Maybe give a couple gems?

Long time ago I used to play PangYa online and this looks similar, don't know if it's related or not but I picked this up on Monday. Got to rank 3 last night and have lot lots of questions.

What are daily activities that should be done? Found the open course last night and played 1 hole rounds till I got birdie or better to get bonus coins. Didn't play the 9 hole daily though, what's rewarded for that? Found some coins, a couple gems, and some items while wandering the course. I could only access one course though. Do each of the others have daily activities once they are unlocked? Or just one course a day chosen as the bonus?

I see the items of the month page in the store, will these all expire in a couple days when the month ends? I've got to rack up some coins to purchase some things. Only have like 2,500 or so right now.

When do I get to fish?

Last, for now, should I not even worry about leveling up other clubs till I reach max rank? What about balls? Just been using standard clubs and ball for now.

Bonus question for Blzer, if you read, have you tried remote play on the Vita yet? How'd it fare?

Glad i scooped this one up on a sick day. Actually had some time in between naps to play some. And its pretty sweet. Still figuring things out, but definitely worth the $39.99 i paid.

Long time ago I used to play PangYa online and this looks similar, don't know if it's related or not but I picked this up on Monday. Got to rank 3 last night and have lot lots of questions. They changed the title but it's a continuation of the "Hot Shots Golf" Series. There have been a good amount of games in the Series so if you really enjoy Everybody's Golf it wouldn't be a bad idea to try the older ones! They have aged pretty well and I go back to play them all the time.

What are daily activities that should be done? If you don't mind grinding then you can grab all the Gems and Items from each Item Hole on every course. Gems are especially useful postgame! Found the open course last night and played 1 hole rounds till I got birdie or better to get bonus coins. Didn't play the 9 hole daily though, what's rewarded for that? You get an item that's only available this month and some coins depending on how well you do. Found some coins, a couple gems, and some items while wandering the course. Every course will have one "item hole" which will contain these, so every course will have one including the DLC courses. I could only access one course though. Do each of the others have daily activities once they are unlocked? Yes, they will all have one "item hole" and all will have their own fishing spots with unique fish Or just one course a day chosen as the bonus? One Course is given the "Course Bonus" everytime the server resets (5PM Pacific) that course will reward you with one of the Monthly Items the day after you complete a 9-Hole Round on it.

I see the items of the month page in the store, will these all expire in a couple days when the month ends? I've got to rack up some coins to purchase some things. Only have like 2,500 or so right now. Not 100% sure since we haven't had it happen yet but I believe those items will change every month. The "Monthly Items" from this month will be added to the store for purchase if you haven't earned them Online. The items removed wouldn't be gone forever though, you can still copy them off of Gallery Members that possess them.

When do I get to fish? When you defeat the VS Character "Kato" found in Rank 4

Last, for now, should I not even worry about leveling up other clubs till I reach max rank? What about balls? Just been using standard clubs and ball for now. You don't level up multiple Clubs or Balls, they just have a Bonus on them. The Power/Control/Backspin/Backdoor of your Clubs are universal, switching Clubs/Balls just gives you a boost (Grass Cutter Ball lets you hit 100% from Rough, Big Air Clubs give you a boost in Power, etc.)

Think I covered all of it. If you have any other questions let me know!

So I was writing a response on another computer, but shut it down when I had to leave before I could finish.

I'll just say that it's pretty good, pretty much identical to my TV. My TV isn't perfect response (and by that I mean when I play on lag-free sets, I almost feel like the visual command happens before my input, whereas when I play on TV it feels more so "on-time"), but it works right in sync with it.

What was interesting was when I took my base PS4 on vacation and did Remote Play there, then went back and did Remote Play on my PS4 Pro and was really amazed at seeing how well 60 FPS was handled with it afterward. It's nice that it can do it so well.

Of course, every so often I get connection choppiness, and of course it always seems to happen on my meter time to time. Never actually shanked a shot on this game though, so that's good.

Skill-level wise though, I sit around 40% perfect impact, no matter what set I have played on.

This game is flat out addicting! My son and I are enjoying our first experience with this series a great deal. We haven't played much single-player mode, but I bought both DLC courses to give us a little more to play for now. We'll enjoy it even more once we play more single player and unlock the rest of the courses.

We love it though!! I'm glad I read this thread last week!

Gotta beat Rank 6. Was kinda weird they decided to give the course out that late but you'll play it a lot during Special Rank after beating the game

Disappointed towards the end and not too much into it after getting Custom Clubs. This whole thing about ramping/building up custom clubs using Gems reeks of "pay-to-win". I play the game to golf and not to hunt around courses for gems and other stuff. Or let me upgrade custom clubs using coins you get while playing the game instead of gems.

Re: Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions

Im hoping for some DLC courses down the road.
Would like to see a course where you can hole out doing bank shots off of different items. sort of like a mini golf course but for actually golf.

Just beat my final Special VS Character... Now I just have to get those Condors and I will have my platinum. Really not looking forward to it, already tried it for 2 hours the other night and lipped 3 of them

You just need to max out your custom clubs once, which is 110 gems. If you're going for the Gallery Members you'll end up getting a lot of them during the Special Rank tournaments.

Just put everything into Power and you'll have pretty much the same Clubs as everyone else. The only difference is how lucky you get leveling them up (it can increase by 1, 2, or 3 every time you level it up. So you can end up anywhere between 11-33. Most people end up around 16, I think mine are 17 iirc)

The highest I have ever seen is 22. Purchasing tickets instead of using gems doesn't increase your luck.

Getting to 110 gems is what bothers me. I played a few special rank tourneys but I barely get 1 or 2 gems after completing one tourney. That will take me forever to get to 110 gems. I'm not the one to run around or hunt for gems and IMO devs should have linked coins or playing golf to getting gems/upgrading club.

Have barely touched the game over the last couple of weeks and if some new courses don't drop soon that will be it for the game. I guess will move on to FIFA or Madden in a week or two depending on whether the upcoming Madden patch fixes the major bugs. If it doesn't then will will go for FIFA 18.

But yeah EG devs had a great chance to make this game a classic but the "pay to win" aspect sort of killed it for me. How the core gameplay (special clubs with enhanced attributes) is linked to gems/paywall concept is disappointing.
