Ok, I will be the first to admit that I am not the biggest golf fan, but IGN gave this a 9 and think I might have to nab it just to see how immersive Wii Motion Plus truly is.


Anybody happen to try this out yet?

IGN gave Pokemon Yellow a 10, and that was about as broken as a Pokemon game could get. Grind your Pikachu and beat Onix with electricity!

Anyway, I heard TW10 is really good from other sources, but nothing about frustrations with WM+

Just got it, it plays unbelievably well.

The disc golf in particular is highly responsive, I highly recommend checking this out.

Do these games actually come with Wii Motion Plus, or what? I thought we couldn't physically get WMP until Wii Sports Resort comes out at the end of July. And VT2009 is out in like a week.

No, EA has very deep pockets and was able to persuade Nintendo into letting them bundle WMP with their games prior to Wii Sports resort.

I have one WMP peripheral now, I am not sure if they are selling them separately yet. The weight of the wiimote feels awesome with WMP attached.

I didn't know this was out. I'll be looking to buy it and praying that a fucking light saber Star Wars game comes out.

Absolutely the first thought I had.

Once you attach the WMP, the look, weight and size of of the overall device is very reminiscent of a lightsaber hilt.

I have to believe they are already hard at work on some sort of lightsaber focused game.

Didn't they make that Star Wars Clone Wars game that was all about lightsaber dueling?

They made the one about Darth Vader's apprentice. It was fun, but definitely not the type of control that the motion plus will offer.

Definitely, in other news I cannot stop playing the disc golf with my friends. It is very engaging.

No, not that. It was based on The Clone Wars cartoon on CN.

I bought TW PGA 10. I suck at it, but it is damn fun. The Wii Motion Plus is great. I can't wait for more games to use it.

Finally, yea it took me about a day to get the hang of it but now I can usually birdie every time.

The putting can be seriously tricky, but its so fucking realistic the frustration doesn't really bother me.

So you guys all know how I suck at video games... right?

I just shot a -15 on St Andrews. I hit every green in regulation and pretty much destroyed every record on my game.

I don't have a SD slot on this laptop, but I took some pictures of it and will upload them at some point from another machine to prove that I got the score. I only wish the round could have been recorded.

Fucking destroyed that shit.

I fucking did it again. I hit a bogey this time, but made up for it with another eagle!

My pictures from the other day came out better but they are on my wife's camera. I had to do this with my Mac's iSight, which sucks ass as a camera.

Ok, I would like to call Bullshit.

After posting two amazing scores at St. Andrews I went on to finish the final two rounds with a 63 and a 62. As far as golf scores go, that is fucking amazing.

What is more amazing is how hard the computer had to adjust to my first two rounds. They actually had 1 player shoot a 55 in round three, and 3 players shot 56's in round 3. Also two players shot 56's in round 4.

This is absolute bullshit. Just because I did well doesn't mean the game has to ramp up the difficulty to impossible.

Why am I upset about these scores? In history only one recorded round of golf ever ended with a score of 55 on 18 holes. It was a par 70 course. St. Andrews was a par 71. That means that the guy in my game who shot a 55 broke the world record after having a first round of 71 and a second round of 69. He did what no other golfer has done in the history of the game. Congradu-fucking-lations. How the fuck is that acceptable?

More obnoxious is that all the other dudes who posted 56's tied the world record, some of them two days in a row. Ass, fucking ass.

Why did they do so well? Because they had to compete with my two 57's and the AI ramps up the other golfers. Perhaps something is fucking flawed when I can shoot a 57 at all. Or I just fucking did well at learning the game. Seriously though, I think the problem is that when you start out your career mode golfer he/she really sucks. If you beef them up to about 50% on stats though, they are amazingly good.

In case anyone bothers to read my rant and cares, I play on normal mode with all-play turned off. I use precision putting mode. I have also been told by many people that I have a very nice golf swing in real life. Of course when they used to tell me that I weighed 105lb and couldn't fucking hit the ball more than 125 yards. I wonder how I'd do now. I guess there is only one way to find out!

More Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Woes:

My score of 236 broke the current real world 72 hole stroke record by quite a bit. In fact the record is currently 254. So I beat it by 18 strokes.

Still, it wasn't good enough.

As you will note, at a minimum the top 6 players shot under the world record for single round scores. You would need to shoot -19 on a round to get a 53. That means a person would need to shoot all birdies and one eagle.

I am playing the game on "Normal" difficulty and yet the AI is simply designed not to let a player win in some scenarios.

EA, what is wrong with your game?

So you would rather them make the game easier? I understand your gripes but so many people buy these games and if the difficulty were any lower they would get traded in swiftly and no one would give a shit about the next years release. It's just a game, buddy.

I don't want the game to be easier. I want it to be possible though. A 53 is impossible in golf. In the entire history of the sport no one has ever shot even close to that. If they need to ramp up the difficulty to make me shoot higher scores, then that is fine, but don't make it impossible.

To put this in perspective of other games, this would be as though the designers of Zelda just forgot to give you the Silver Arrow. It isn't harder, it is fucking impossible.
