Oh man, it was IPA’s that convinced me that beer was drinkable. Growing up with the big three beer tasted so terrible it was just social pressure to force me to learn to drink it. Until the craftbrew revolution i was pretty much exclusive a wine guy.
I imagine the only people who liked Coors had a lake house and a ski boat, lived in Colorado or some midwest state, and occasionally beat their wives.
Dude, Cider is amazing, at least the variety I know of (Asturian). I much prefer it to beer (I like beer too, though).
Oh, lol, I do as well I was just playing along. I assume @Ginger_Yellow is not a Cider fan, seems like, so I just wanted to yes/and keep the bit going. ;)
Woof. These Mario Golf reviews are not ideal, looks like. I don’t have the time nor extra funds to put those resources into a mediocre experience. Damn.
Whaaaaat but watching them play it after the Direct looked so good.

Maaaaaaannnnn, that would have been a good one to play with my little monsters too.
Yeah, I was really excited about it until I saw the reviews drop. Now, to be fair, I didn’t read any reviews yet - I wasn’t going to pick it up until next month anyway due to expensive Magic sets dropping recently - but I’m going to have to do some real research before I decide to grab it or not. It doesn’t seem like quite the no-brainer I had originally assumed.
Plus, I have a great Switch game I’m (re)playing that I can’t talk about because I am teasing folks in the 2021 Game Thread with it right now, mwa haha. But it will keep me happy for another week or so anyway, I suspect.
It’s such a cool game, I kind of almost forgot it existed!
I see what you did there. ;)
Well the Mario Golf reviews I read are super depressing. (6/10), (5/10)
Happily I don’t feel like buying anything anyway, I guess.
On the bright side, maybe this means that Nintendo won’t try to keep the MSRP at $60 in perpetuity for new copies of the game, where we’re salivating like dogs when we see a sale for $45 or $50, thinking it’s a bargain.
I guess you missed those that said it is the best Mario Sports game. " Super Rush is the best Mario sports game in over a decade."
Yeah, but there are just as many saying that it’s a disappointing experience, largely due to lack of initial content, a disappointing solo mode, and too much focus on speed golf (which, to be fair, is what the game is named for). It seems to be a pretty split decision out there in Reviewland.
I just want a sequel to Golf Story.
I did not miss those. I also am iffy on blowing $60 on something that might be great or might be terrible. You go ahead and enjoy it.
Feel free to whine at me anytime.
Having read a range of the Mario Golf reviews, the consensus seems to be that the new speed rush mode is underwhelming, the single-player adventure mode is more like a tutorial and therefore disappointing, the course selection is slight (only five, but more are supposed to be patched in later), but that the traditional golf mode is great.
This mostly sounds okay to me since I was interested in the traditional golf mode anyway, but it echoes the reviews for Mario Tennis, which is the only Switch game I regret purchasing. I’m a little more hopeful because the main problem with Mario Tennis was that it was lacking in fidelity to the sport—primarily that unforced errors were nonexistent and forced errors can only happen with the super shots, making matches between evenly skilled players devolve into slogs more often than not, especially with the super shots turned off (and even when turned on since you eventually learn how to counter them)—and that should not be an issue with a golf game as the field of play is larger and more varied. Hopefully there’s a demo.
Still, this is looking like a game I get on sale (as if that ever happens with Nintendo-published games that aren’t Mario + Rabbids), if ever, rather than the day-one purchase I’d hoped.
You mean a Golf Story 2 instead of Sports Story?
