After you beat the 6 rounds it’s just the adventure mode that’s left for single player really. I hope that’s added into it during the free content rollouts. Ima need you to buy this for me so I can give an honest impression on how it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Aces didn’t suck it was just a multiplayer game that had a weirdly long and poorly thought out single player mode. Online multiplayer when it game out was good, challenging, and easy to find matches. I really had a lot of fun working through online tournament brackets and it was short enough to not be a burden and long enough to feel like you had an actual go with someone. Yeah if you wanted Virtua Tennis with Mario it was a let down, but that’s never what these things are. Mario Kart is always going to suck if you go in expecting Forza with a different look.

Keyser_Soze Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 So I played some more adventure mode and it kind of reminded me of what I liked about the 3DS game So last I left off in adventure mode you did the tutorial matches and then you have to qualify for a tournament, and then you play the tournament. This reminded me of what I liked about the 3DS games, the special online tournaments. I went to the online section and there's nothing like this in the game. You can only search for rando games. Pretty lame. In any case this adventure mode tournament, I do like the idea of it. It's played over two days (except 1 day is the front 9 and the 2nd day is the back 9) I finished -8, so pretty much dominated. But here's the issue I have. The golf (at least in the first area) is all speed golf. I think I like the idea of speed golf but in practice not really a huge fan. Running to the ball is a distraction, you don't get to see where your ball lands, in fact you might run past your ball because you're just concentrating on running to the green (where you think your shot landed). In speed golf you don't get the joy of seeing your own shot go in. I hit a hole in one and never even got to see it go in the hole. And like I said earlier, the whole game seems pretty easy because it's revolved around speed golf. So you don't really even need to line up your putts or shots much, just look at the flag and press the meter. Which kind of brings up another gripe about the "control" stat - I guess this is how the ball deviates from the shot trajectory but it seems completely random. But at the same time, though the ball randomly doesn't go straight it still lands on the fairway. After you win the tournament the second course opens up in a new area and they introduce a new mode called XC golf, which I haven't played yet. The adventure mode not only has you running around on the golf course but you'll be running around the country clubs as well, which I dunno, I think the areas could stand to be smaller because there's a lot of nothing between your house and the golf course. In any case I'll keep playing it but I can see how it might be disappointing to some at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 XC golf is kind of annoying. It's like speed golf except you never tee off. You have to hit from the green and then shoot your shot over cliffs and such and the indicator is very vague so it's hard to tell if your shot will actually go over a cliff or not.

Keyser_Soze Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 I saw Kyle Bosman playing the adventure mode, he's further than I am, and it appears this game goes places. So I will stick with it just to get to that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameDadGrant Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Yeah my son has been going through Adventure Mode and he's enjoying it a lot. I don't think he's as far as Bosman but the game got its hooks in him. It's the only game lately that can tear his attention away from Apex Legends.
