*L* That sounds like sporting retirement heaven... "Where is he now?" "He went to get fat and play left field. He can't hit a curveball and he can't catch, but other than that, he's still the Golden Bear." Is that golf game worth getting into? It seems like a lot of registration/download work for something that might prove disappointing. Is there a sample anywhere?
No sample. I enjoy the golf a lot and I think it's worth downloading just to try it. The early level-ups take such little time that you can get to level six or seven quickly and each level-up gives you two skill points to put into the different stats, so you can have a personalised "toon" in a hurry. There's stuff you can buy for real money, but it doesn't really give you an advantage over the people who are cheap like me use the free gear. Getting to level 20, moving back to the Amateur tees and having some of the different clubs open up, (for in-game money), then makes it a different game again. At level 40 you can take the semi-pro test and then new courses are available - there's always something to aim for. The servers are pretty full, most of the time and the people on there are, for the most part, disturbingly nice. One of my friends got given a complete set of clubs by someone who'd bought the next set up, for example.
Golf: disturbingly nice. I might give it a go then - do you play on a mac or a PC? I just took delivery of a new MacBook - it's not going to kill it, is it?
I play on a PC. It hasn't killed anything so far but a few afternoons.
Sounds like my kin of game - I've got afternoons to burn.
