My one, and only, complaint.

I was dubious about this game at first, but it has exceeded my expectations. I have one gripe. After you hit the ball, the camera swings around to the front of the ball. This makes it difficult to see where the ball is traveling and what path it went,
so you can make adjustments for any repeated attempts. Other than that, I've been enjoying this game immensely, and I don't even really like golf! The records being marked on the course, and the xp, was a brilliant idea and makes the game very addictive. Also,
I'm glad to see the micro transactions are not a must and do not make the game feel incomplete, nor offer huge advantages. As always, feel free to add me! 18+ yrs old, please, and remember too add friend, not just follow.

My only complaint...

I too was a little bit upset at the fact that there's no achievement for hardest difficulty. Seems to be a trend lately. Played Arkham City on Hard, got nothing. Skyrim on Master, got nothing. Playing through SR3 on Hardcore, getting nothing. HOWEVER, I
will say that I'm okay with there not being Hardcore achievements in SR3 purely because Hardcore is actually challenging this time around. In SR1 and 2 it was still next to impossible to die, but with SR3 I'm having some legitimate trouble with passing some
of the missions.

 

My only complaint...

Yea, I felt that SR1 and 2 were way too easy even on hardcore. My buddy and I played 2 together via co op and went through a 2nd time on hard..it wasnt. So this time we started SR3 on hardcore, hoping to have some tough moments and feel good when we come
out on top. Just disappointed how even achievements have fallen to the whining of soft core players that want it all. I really had to work hard for some of the 1000 gs i have, and it's bragging rights among friends (like Mile High Club from MW...that was
not easy). The fact that all we have to do now is play through a game once maybe twice and get all the achievements devalues their existence.

 

I am not a fan of the new camera angle to the side of the ball as it lands on the green, but some of the other views are much more dramatic from the original camera work in the game.

 

Gleny, did you get to see the camera work before the update last week? Just curious if you liked it better I haven't seen the game in action myself.

Jayadub, I know you've been playing the since about day one, do they not give you any camera control options? If you had your druthers, would you opt to go back to the pre-update camera work?

 

J you have no control other than a pre shot preview controlled by the Y button which can be rotated. You can raise or lower your point of view to see the landing area and any obstructions or green terrain to pick a landing area.

.

Gleny is talking about the trail cam where the cam now swings out and around the ball in flight to finish facing almost pointed back at the tee. I see what he means but only from the point of not knowing what the shot will do. If you know the holes as well
as some do you have a good idea when you have done wrong, camera or no.

.

I would say that overall I like the changes to the game cameras I just don't agree on the choice of point of view for some of the shots. Some low oblique views were a little jarring at first due to the drastic change from any of the angles shown in the game
before. Now that I have played with them for a week or so I know what to expect, if not when. So no I wouldn't go back.

 

I really wish you could free view the hole i.e do a fly over, Sometimes I have no idea where the green is if there is a shortcut or whats over the ridge.

My only other gripe would be some of the shots the pro's pull off are unreal, In the bunker then in the rough and I'm thinking I got this hole in the bag then pop chipped in from 90 yards. Talk about frustrating..

Liking the game though change of pace from COD

 

There is a flyover at the start of every hole but no free view once you have taken a shot. There also is an overhead view using the view button, what used to be the back button on the 360 controller.
