Dick Valor Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 So, we all know a full 18 hole golf course and mini-game is going to be featured in GTA V. However, we don't know to what extent we will be able to use golf equipment outside of said mini-game. In VC, we were able to use the golf club as a melee weapon, so hopefully we can count on this returning in V. But what if we were able to keep golf balls and tees in our inventories as well? Suppose you could set up and chip a golf ball wherever and whenever you pleased? You could chip balls into downtown traffic, or from the highest peak of Mt. Chiliad. Or perhaps you could tie people up and chip balls at them for your own twisted amusement? Seems like there would be so many opportunities for both mischief and relaxed roleplay if we could simply golf wherever we wanted! Would anyone else love this feature? Thinking about it now, I'd be disappointed if R* didn't include this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fail_At_GTA Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I can see golf being one of the gamemodes in online play, along with tennis but I have doubts you can hit golf balls into traffic whenever and wherever you please, although it does seem like a fun thing but sounds too Saint's Row-ish to me.

dangr Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm pretty sure that we will be able to use the golf club as a meele weapon. Maybe the tennis racket too. However I doubt if we could throw golf/tennis balls to people. I agree with the "saint row-ish" part of the post above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUT THE BENZ Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I hope there's a caddy on the green, so I can punch him in the face now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choco Taco Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I know they said it has a full course, but I'm wondering if it might just be a 9 hole par 3 course. Anyway, I hope you can tee-off anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildstyle91 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It would be funny if you could turn on the sprinklers when a golfer is about to take a swing. Not got the balls to do it in real life so please R*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Valor Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 I can see golf being one of the gamemodes in online play, along with tennis but I have doubts you can hit golf balls into traffic whenever and wherever you please, although it does seem like a fun thing but sounds too Saint's Row-ish to me. "Saints Row-ish" may be a bit harsh. Sure, there are obviously mischievous applications for such a feature, but you could also enjoy more Sims-ish pastimes, like chipping balls into the Alamo Sea. GTA is still a free roam game that should allow the player to express themselves, even if it is not to the same ridiculous extent as Saints Row. I don't think golf balls are as out of left field as giant purple dildos... and we need a better selection of non-lethal weapons/inventory items anyway. It doesn't seem like this feature would require much development time either as it would essentially be identical to the driving range mechanic from TBOGT, but anywhere you wanted (or at least any flat surface).

jamieleng Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I hope npc's play golf in freeroam. I want to come barreling along in a near wrecked truck, carving up the 9th hole & sending grey haired old fuddy duddys running for their lives. Or recreating the scene from the movie 'Falling Down'. I can see Trevor doing this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showstopper 26 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Will all protags be able to do all activities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsrow Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Will all protags be able to do all activities? After finishing the main GTAV storyline, I'm going to practice golf as Trevor for weeks of replay, until I get him down to a 9 hanidcap, and then I'm going go into GTAV multiplayer golf and make big bucks on golf bets. How badass is that, huh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
