Thinking about getting Minna

[smeace]

So being a G1 is hard right now, It's hit or miss in the evenings if there are 10 people on.

Before I go and drop over $100 on everything (DLC and game) I thought it never hurts to ask if anyone wants to share some DLC.;)

from what I\'ve seen I think you should get Minna it looks alot better than the usa version, I saw that they have more lobby parts, Characters have more scenes with caddies, and well it looks more balanced in many ways.

Being anything is hard right now. Even G0 has been running low this week. The issue I have is that if you go, that'll be another gone, and the whole thing plunges deeper down, which will make me :(

Hot Shots Golf is on life support, if you wish to continue playing this game online, I would buy Minna... sorry Dims, see you in HSG6.

I wish I could get minna but I hadtrouble enough finding hsg oob :(

I started a similar thread about 3 weeks ago, as like you I wAs fed up of logging on only to find no tours in g1 happening , so I bought minna from play Asia.

6 weeks after after ordering, it still hadn't turned up, however I found a copy on ebay. 2 days later my play Asia copy arrived lol.

I have to say that I love playing minna. Day time touring is amazing, so many (200-300) players. However I am on gmt which means that evenings here are early hours in japan, so between 7 and midnight tours are quite sparse, Which is going to be a pain as when I go back to work, evenings are when I want to play. I have certainly made the most of day time tours gmt. Sometimes I can't get in to tours because they are full!

I am solid g1, been g0 a couple of times but just not consistent enough at that level. In minna I have made g2 within 10 g3 tours, but I think I have found my level already at g2, 50 tours 1 win, 1 second and 8 pods (not proud of that lol).

I have not purchased any dlc, and at g3 or g2 you don't need to as 90% of tours at this level are spread across highland, oki, euro and safari with the odd peaks now and then. Tours with dlc characters are rare as well.

I still log on to Hsg in the evenings gmt, but have not seen 10 players in a g1 tour for about a month .

Hope that's useful in your decision making.

Also I'm convinced downhill puts are more sensitive in minna, because I keep on missing them.

I hope a new game comes soon but until then I am sooooo glad I have found minna.

Let me know if you would fancy buying my spare minna?

im waiting for a new EBG,while, i need something more.How can i get minnaaa!japannese version runs in european ps3!!?

[mtoftheshire]

Half hour from last post and just made g1 on minna with a good recent run of pod finishes, yippee.

[mtoftheshire]

Just go on ebay or playasia.com.
Runs fine on ps3 in europe
If you want dlc you need to set up a jap pan account. But if like me you dont want to bother with dlc you can just play as per normal with egwt or hsg.

[Blaze27]

yeah Minna is completely better they have alot more lobby parts and extended stuff, and the online is far better and always active so yeah get it.

[dimskill]

Conversely, we need your support on HSG. Get it, but don't let it interfere on your normal HSG playing times. And we're more sociable (well, mostly).

How is HSG touring wise these days?

[Miill]

Europe evenings are usually having reasonable fills, 15-25 ppl. Mainly the usual suspects added with some new G0's now and then. I dont know how things are on US evening, at that time I'm trying to get some sleep :)

Figured as much, it's been about 6 weeks since HSG has been in my ps3... glad to hear g0 still going strong :)

[smeace]

Yeah G0 always seems to have something going. In G1 I'll be lucky to get 1 tour in an evening.

[reeja19]

Well as an owner of Minna I can say that there is almost always a tour, 24/7 regardless of grade... There may be 1 or 2 hours during the course of a day that you won't find a tour but that's about it...

How do you play Minna no Golf 5 in NA? do you have to have a JAP region PS3, or can you actually play it in a NA one? I was thinking about getting it, but I just need some more info on if I need anything special to play it.

You don't need a special PS3, but you will need access to the Japanese PSN store for the DLC. You can get cards on e-bay, although there are probably better ways of doing that...

If anyone wants to chip in for the Minna dlc then drop me a PM cause I'm stuffed if I'm paying twice as much for the dlc than I paid for the actual game and I really need my Toro back!!
