I 100% owned a launch-window copy of 2600 Golf back in 1980. Man was it bad.
It was one of those games that I wanted to love as the relaxing pace was pretty novel in an era primarily focused on short, twitch-gameplay experiences as found in your local arcade.
But the swing mechanic just made no sense to me. At least in a par-rating kinda way. I could move the ball around the green, but aiming was super-unintuitive and seemed to rely on pure luck more than anything.
Still an interesting retro oddity though.
Makes me pine for the last good PGA game, Tiger Woods '14. Man that thing had it all. Tons of courses, pro-golfers, equipment unlocks. All crafted in an intelligent progress (unlocks) roadmap that felt rewarding rather than cheap or stingy.
Cripes I'd kill for a direct port of Tiger 14 on modern machines. Don't need enhancements or anything. Just let me play it on my current setup.
Weren't the Tiger Woods games the one that had you flicking the sticks like a maniac to control the ball in the air?
I remember my housemate slowly turning to hating that feature in some of the games.

They did have the "pull back the stick and push forward" swing mechanic followed by rapid button mashing to put spin on the ball while it was in the air.
It was popular for a few titles but EA eventually folded the classic 3-button press swing mechanic back into the games. So the last couple-few Tiger releases offered both control options based on your preference.

I'm not even going to lie, I haven't even looked at it. I saw Darkest Dungeon and ran away.
Anyway,

Yup, it was funded in under 12 hours. I got in on the $25 tier.
Stretch goals look great. Hope they make it past .pdf lorebook and the 20-hour Valkyrie Zero side campaign.
That 30+ page illustrated lore book they made for Star Traders was sweet.
PSO2 Meta Crew?
Mario Golf on the N64 was a favorite at uni. Could do 4 player and if it wasn't your turn you could shout things like 'Hurry up' and 'Four' by pressing the yellow arrow buttons.
About PSO2, prepare for one of the best character creators (despite the game's limited graphics quality).
Though, no idea how many outfits, accessories and such the western version will have at launch, the JP version gets new cosmetics almost every 2 weeks after all.

PS5 price has yet to be determined, Sony suggests | VGC
CFO says company is working with many unknowns, including its competition’s plans…
www.videogameschronicle.com
What it looks like:
Sony: don't have faith that their product can compete on customer loyalty, power, looks, games, etc.
if you don't have faith, just match or undercut the competition in price.
While there won't be EU servers for now, it's not gonna be region locked:Will still be region locked to US.
Awesome! Enjoy reading about retro gaming. Keep 'em coming!
Hm, something weird happened. An unknown person sent me a friend request and he's not a bot. The level and game catalog is too high for that.
But it's even worse than that. I also noticed two new comments, so I checked them... and they are something alright.
Had tons of bots try to scam me but this is the first time in all my years on Steam.
Why though? I don't know him at all.

It's from the same person who sent me the friend request, so I guess he wants to do more.

^^^ I guess some people are just really unhappy and/or frustrated in life and it comes out sideways like that.
I know the first impulse (well besides blocking/unfriending, of course) might be to take it personally but I try to remind myself that toxic stuff like this tends to mostly come from people who are hurting inside.

Well since item sharing with B.net is feature....
Also RAGE 2 has it required "online" features (preorder bonus, DLC(mtxn), some missions)
So no more EGS exclusives from Annapurna?
I guess EGS is indeed good for competition...the competition of the companies in bed with EGS 8)
Just started Ys viii, and the game looks like this in 4k, something's wrong 
HUD/Menu looks fine but the rest

Something's definitely wrong lol. Did you try switching between borderless and full screen to see if it's giving you the same result? I know on that screen you also have to confirm your settings when you switch.Just started Ys viii, and the game looks like this in 4k, something's wrong
HUD/Menu looks fine but the rest
Yeah, i tried all 3 types, and they all look the same, i restarted the game even. Gonna fiddle with the settings some more.
This is why we can't have nice things! You stop whatever it is you are doing wrong, right now!Just started Ys viii, and the game looks like this in 4k, something's wrong

lol
What a week, JFC, clearly this is a "trend keeps giving" moment.
Absolutely amazing!
Never say never but as far as 2020 goes, everything has been Steam + others, even Sayonara last year.
Yeah, me too.I gave up thinking this was going to come to anything except mobile. So excited
Well, maybe in the future if you change your mind, there's always timeLooks interesting. Too bad it's Annapurna
Absolutely amazing!
