DC Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 PGA Tour 2K23 will be available on October 14 on Xbox, Playstation, and Steam. I am excited to see Tiger Woods as the cover athlete. Hopefully the game features cross-play and the series is not ruined by intrusive microtransactions. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/pga-tour-2k23-tiger-woods-cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Golfing games aren't really my thing, but seeing Limmy playing them makes me want to try them. Might be worth me starting with this one when it comes out, especially if it's the "role playing" game the Xbox store page tells me it is. 🤣 I have to say I love the cover art; makes a nice change from the dreary box art I've seen of late. Regarding it not being ruined by microtransactions, it's 2K who have been known to fill NBA with bloated microtransactional content. It must be difficult to ruin a golfing game with such things, surely? I won't hold my breath waiting to find out...

Heatman Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) It's taken like almost forever for Woods to get back into this which it's taken them almost 10 years to do that. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one and hopefully it's going to exactly what we golf lovers look out for in games. As for microtransactions ; they can't leave it out. The question would be how much would they dump in it? Edited August 23, 2022 by Heatman DC and Withywarlock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Me and my buddies picked up PGA Tour 2k21 after getting hooked on GTA's golfing and it was great. Don't think I feel the need for this though, especially with all the golfing drama irl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I remember when he was taken off as the cover star for the PGA games. He had that car accident and then allegations of infidelity and all that and he started to lose more in golf. But, I gotta say I do like a redemption story, so hopefully he can keep healthy and not do anything dumb. I imagine he gets paid a ton to be the cover star again. I mean, they made that game originally about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Interestingly I haven't played any PGA or golfing related games In the past. Played a variety of 2k games and I am still skeptical about getting anything from the studios. I did have plans to get into golfing irl and maybe I could use this game to start my golfing journey. Hopefully it is released and is as Appealing as I have envisioned it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Sorry to disappoint you @DC but knowing 2K Games, the microtransactions will likely be every more intrusive than the previous year. They're a greedy lot and it's the same thing in other 2k titles such as NBA 2k or WWE 2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we would be looking at the record set by 2K Games towards what they are likely to do with this game, there wouldn't be any hope at for it. Their greed wouldn't let them do the right thing with the game and it's going to suck very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I thought by now we've already gotten used to what 2k games does and the micro transactions that is always featured in their video games. At this point I am not concerned if they still choose to go that Lane but I am only hoping the design and performance isn't as buggy as what we got in WWE 2k22 and other WWE Games they've developed in recent times. If the performance of this game is good and comes with quality game play just like what we have in fortnite I think that would compensate for all the micro transactions that is in them.

Last golf games I played were old ones on PC and maybe a demo disc on PS2 or something. I think I played one of the pga games at my sister's house years ago. But that's been it. They're fun to play, but better with friends. I probably won't play this pga game, but if I got it for free I might play it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my friends have already given up on 2K games because of what they are always culpable in doing with their game's design. It's just like some quiting their wrestling games and asking for them to take a bow from making WWE games. I really hope they don't screw with this golf game because it might be my last of it. 33 minutes ago, Kane99 said: Yeah to be fair I don't play a lot of golf games.

It's a golf game like the Burnout racing franchise where you're to use the golf ball to cause a lot of damage. The game is called Dangerous Golf.

I've heard of Dangerous Golf, but have never played it. I played Golf with your friends a few times. Some of my friends are really into it, and I've also played it for a couple game nights at the community I work for. Golf games are fun with you have some people to play along.

The normal golf course games are good to play with friends. In fact, it's the best way to truly enjoy playing the game. But it's not what Dangerous Golf gives you. It's a game you played when you want to be very destructive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very descriptive frictional explanation 😂. I think that generally 2K is out of their depths with what they can do with games they develop. They can't give it up and they can't do a good job.
