I can not believe i denied myself of this great game for so long.  I thought because it didn't have a fully 3D rendering engine like TW 04 that it couldn't compete. Boy....was i WRONG! The suspense you get when you hit a shot wondering if it's the right club or if you're going to stay in the fairway, etc... is just like the real thing.

 

I played Wagga Wagga C.C. and that may be the best rendition of a golf course in pc gaming history. The blood, sweat and tears that must have went into that course is unbelievable. I really think i could play that course nearly everyday like my real home course and never get tired of it.

 

I just want to give a special thanks to the LS community who put their heart and souls into creating mods and add-ons. My excitement for PG has gone through the roof knowing what you guys are capable of.

 

I honestly thought you hardcore links guys were old farts stuck in the past with your 3 click. My apologizes, but you still need to man up and move onto MS or RTS.

Yes, cause pushing a mouse is so much more like real golf. I even have an R15 mouse.

I wasn't trying to start nothing. Just a friendly jab...people should be able to play however they want.

[Mulligan]

AwYea,

I saw the humor, but I enjoy being an old fart!.

 

Also, you did see there are various swing types to be had in Links, right? It's in the player settings. IIRC, there's even a 1 click method that is great for people with disabilities.

 

BTW, PP should consider an easy 1 click type setting just for people who have a hard time playing the competitive ways. Remember, we all get old and creaky eventually.

[AwYea]

Yea, i seen that Mulligan. I'm no young buck myself, 46. It is a good idea to think of everyone who may or may not have disabilities. It's just not about the competition, especially with a golf game. Like the real game, it's about doing something that you can do alone and still have a great time.

This game has been a true blessing. Like a lot of people, i have been getting a little impatient with PG and wanting more. Now, i can enjoy LS and patiently await while the Dev's do their magic. I'm literally like a kid in a candy store with all the courses LS has to offer. Plus, i really like the career & season mode and the options you have in setting them up.

If you fancy pitting your wits against other Linksters there are still tours out there to play on.

I'm not ready for that. My putting is atrocious with RTS! I'm getting better though. I'm really looking forward to setting up a career and using the ani's that people have created. I like how you can play in season or career with an AI opponent.

 

I was wondering? If you're playing a 4 rd tournament does your AI opponent change after the cut and pair you with a guy with a similar score? Also, let's say your leading a tourney going into the final round, do you get to play with the CPU opponent in 2nd place?

Never played the career mode, so unsure on that.

Hehehe.. nice one AwYes! Yip, it's not so strange that linksters abound in the PG world. Ofcourse, with AJ and MJ at the helm, we linksters are in good hands. Ofcourse it's sad that the Links franchise kind of died and this great game was left to it's own, but with a great community it still got a second life. Be shure you play it with the 1.07 mod installed.

I still remember it as if it were yesterday F. I bought the game in 2004 and never looked back. The RTS was an amazing step forward. The game has so much depth, so many nice add-ons etc. So many unbelievable great courses. The fact that I still play every week since 04 is for me the proof of a great game. As I also play irl this game came very close to the real stuff. I also play a lot with friends offline through the REC round system with the LTS files, another one of the great options in this magnificent game. If PG wasn't on the horizon I would still be playing Links to my last breath I guess.

And here is your opportunity to see Links 2003 and PG 2015 Shot-for-Shot.

Best golf game, period!

And here is your opportunity to see Links 2003 and PG 2015 Shot-for-Shot.

That was an excellent clip and comparison of each game.  I still play Links 2003 religiously and find it as fun and frustrating as ever.  Been playing since World Class Leaderboard and still enjoy it as much as ever.  I have tried PG and will continue trying as things improve but still think Links 2003 is the most realistic.  One thing the clip showed, that does bother me, is with Links, when the ball bounces that's all that bounces with PG the whole screen bounces with the ball. That has bothered me, playing PG, from day one.  Hope they fix that one day.

I see no video. But then you probably won't see this post because of blocking me. Says 'this video is unavailable'. So sad!!

Anyone have any experience trying to get Links 2003 to run on Windows 10?
