I have many pet peeves when it comes to HSGOT2, what bothers other people the most?
Some of mine are in no apparent order.
1) HSG rules for tournaments and matches. These were fine in the lower difficulty courses, but an absolute pain in the butt for the already ridiculously difficult courses such as El Andes, Fortress, Dino etc. I mean these courses are hard enough without having wonky power gauges, and penalties for rough or sand traps. The only HSG rule i do not have a problem with is the big hole one, the others annoy the crap out of me when i am trying to get a card in the platinum tournaments.
2) Teflon greens, of which El Andes is one of the worst offenders. Ball rolls off the green at the slightest provocation and off into the water or out of bounds. Hole 12 is the biggie in that regards.
3) Lying power bar and impossible shots. Meaning powering up to get to a hole by the remaining distance only to find out that the ball is not going to go that far, sometimes even if you max out the bar and get the music note. One hole in Dino is a good example of impossible shots, i forget the exact hole, but its the one where the green is on the other side of a volcano i think with some fairway ground going up one side on the left. Even though you have a club to get the distance, you cannot actually get the ball to the green going across this out of bounds area. I have tried many many times with no luck even if the club i use can easily make the distances. Unless there is a tremendous headwind or something these shots should be possible. There are many other shots that will not make it for some reason even though the distances are not out of the range of your club and the wind is not a big factor. I sometimes think the game purposely cheats in order to make you miss the shot.
4) Unsure if i ever will be able to unlock Chad as i cannot get the cards needed do mostly to peeve #3 and the ridiculously difficult courses you have to play to get the cards. There have been many instances were i have been sorely tempted to take the game disc out and sail it into a brick wall in sheer frustration over not being able to beat the various opponents in tournaments due to the aforementioned impossible shots, irritating HSG rules, teflon greens etc.
Okay rant mode off. heh What are some of you guy's pet peeves? (other then people like me ranting over their peeves i mean. :P )
