that story... was something. it does feel like a story that a kid came up with tbh. mario and bowser coming out of nowhere, unexplained plot points, sudden change of tone, etc. should've stick to the rookie trying to be a golf pro plot, would've been better imo. great playthrough ray! thanks for making an ok adventure mode into something entertaining to watch!
Well, it is a Nintendo game. And it is a Mario game that is also supposed to appeal to kids. Would make sense for the story to be just all over the place.
The one thing I noticed, Ray always overshoots the hole hoping the backspin would bring the ball back. Instead of hitting before the hole and letting the ball roll to it.
So, I'm still a bit early in my watching, does this mean he never actually learns the concept that was explicitly spelled out and he did 2 tutorials about saying the power bar shows how far it will carry, not total shot distance? That's disappointing. I had hoped even if he never remembered it, he'd figure out that he keeps putting the power right near the pin and keeps landing right near the hole and runs well past it.
@@eggled1566 Ray tends to do that a lot. He often will learn about something in a tutorial and either never use it or use it incorrectly for the rest of the game. I love him and his gameplays but god is it infuriating to watch sometimes
I had to look it up after ray said the thing about toad wearing a hat on his hat. but apparently the red and white bulbous part of toad is actually a part of his head and not just a hat. this is confirmed in a video called super Mario Odyssey dev talk ft mr.Koizumi.
The whole "his head is actually a hat" thing is from a clip from the old animated Mario Super Show (I think that's what it's called) and the internet's classic "never let anything go" tendency keeps it around.
This game was a lot of fun. Played the story before watching the vod and man they dropped the ball with this story. They should’ve just stuck with the up-and-coming rookie story instead of…whatever the fuck this snow king stuff was.
They literally just had to make a simple rookie to pro story with tournaments and maybe a couple of vs matches with some Mario characters. Incorporate the birdie badges from previous games for replay value and the story would’ve been great. Bag truly fumbled here
i look away for 10 minutes and now all of a sudden ray has fighting a statue shooting lightning at him.....and then it gives him a magic lightning sword.......this is still a golf game right?
@Tomaskers Music imagine not knowing any mario games with a good story and commenting "Imagine playing mario golf or any mario game for the story" my bad
Does Ray ever figure out the up/down spin not being top/back spin? 2 hours in and there's still some painful down spin on shots trying to go up cliffs, lol. Kinda wish "how the game actually works" wasn't just in optional text. :/
Birdo is seen as trans. Originally it was because of a weird mistranslation i think? "The translation of the fragment "She would rather be called" came out as "He would rather be called." and rather than attempt to re-translate everything, they rolled with it and added "He thinks he is a girl" in with the description. It was a happy accident, and nothing more."
Its kind of impressive how nothing in this story flows logically. Hey, so you are going to play as a rookie golfer going up against three other rookie golfers to try and go pro. Go around this area and get an overly long tutorial on how to play traditional golf. Got it? Good because you'll never have to do it again. Now you're going to learn about a new form of golf we've invented that requires that you knock the ball in all of the holes in under a certain amount of strokes. Got it? Well forget about it because now we're going to introduce Speed Golf to you, not that it matters because you are almost completely done golfing. This course has too much rain. Go back to all the previous areas so that you can spend 45 minutes learning how to lob the ball. It'll be vital for the boss fights. Oh, did we forget to mention them? Suddenly now the game is about finding a magical lightning sword. You got the sword? Good, it won't be important. Now you need to go find a magical ball of fire. You got it? Good because Bowser's Castle is frozen over and you need go rescue Bowser and save the world. Oh? You can't get to Bowser's Castle? Better play golf against Luigi and Donkey Kong instead! Ok. Now you can go Bowser's Castle. Now, in order to rescue Bowser you'll need to play golf with Waluigi and Wario and then beat an evil snowman. Mario's here too, but he's been captured! You beat the snowman? Excellent, you're a pro golfer now. This whole story feels like it was written by a five year old on meth.
@@jbfarley actually it wasn't "kid". If anything it was being generous in my estimation. I was unable to scroll forward 5 seconds without hitting another ad block, for the entire first hour of the video. Which I did to get the ads out of the way. You do the math. 1 ad block per 5 seconds breaks down to 12 ads a minute, multiply that over the course of an hour, and it's around 720 ads. Now granted I just said fuck it and turned on my ad blocker after about 20 minutes worth of scrolling, but the rest of the first hour was just as packed as the previous 20 minutes I had scrolled through. And as I said it was a solid yellow bar of ads on the video. So fuck off with your condescending attitude.

01:33:50 man Yoshi needs to get a new controller. That stick drift was insane
I suggest everyone watches through the storming course. It gets wild after that.
You aren’t kidding. The game so far (almost at 5hour mark) was good then it just went into repetitive bullshit
It went from a golf game to monster hunter
that story... was something. it does feel like a story that a kid came up with tbh.
mario and bowser coming out of nowhere, unexplained plot points, sudden change of tone, etc.
should've stick to the rookie trying to be a golf pro plot, would've been better imo.
great playthrough ray! thanks for making an ok adventure mode into something entertaining to watch!

If you ever played aces it's the exact same way, it makes no sense
If you look at the credits, more people worked on localization than on the game itself.
Honestly what it felt like, so rushed. I was so shocked when I saw the credits when I played story mode. You play ONE tournament.
Just think about how many languages they have to translate this to. I'm not surprised at all.
@@MysticStrikeForce that's not how it works
i just love the level progression in this game. Ray is level 32 whilst still in the tutorial...
This really was the Dark Souls of Mario Golf
1:17:11 Boo with the chip shot and Ray's face
2:26:03 Just Joshin’ huh? Boy is Andrew’s face red right now.
The one thing I noticed, Ray always overshoots the hole hoping the backspin would bring the ball back. Instead of hitting before the hole and letting the ball roll to it.
Thank you! lol

Ray: *looks at wind speed settings*
"Meters per sec."
Ray: "What am I, a fucking idiot?"
Unnecessary subtitles are unnecessary
He wanted the Imperial system, so yes...?
3:07 Mario's nose has jiggle physics, and I don't like it.
I watched the entire thing. This was quite a ride. What a mess of a story lmao
I didn't expect this game to start the same way as Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.

@@TKNinja37the one where he used the mushroom as a parachute right?
When he dashes, it sounds like Bowser Jr. going "Go go go go!"

Every time Ray calls out someone for being stupid in chat, it makes me sad I can't see a chat replay. Need to see the baby ragers
Finally I've waited so long for this

3:31:26 At that moment... Ray has it an Eagle.
i look away for 10 minutes and now all of a sudden ray has fighting a statue shooting lightning at him.....and then it gives him a magic lightning sword.......this is still a golf game right?
Been hoping he would play this!
The game seems fun, but the story is really lacking. It starts strong but it quickly becomes disconnected challenge courses without story context.
Imagine playing mario golf or any mario game for the story
@Tomaskers Music imagine not knowing any mario games with a good story and commenting "Imagine playing mario golf or any mario game for the story" my bad
All of those mythical creatures and the one and only human in the entire universe saves the day?
Legit question, why does Ray have the FE1 rerelease? I see him getting to the start screen then going yea fuck this lol.
1:29:42 Ray dashes over a ball and knocks it!
I know right
I would love to see a pikmin playthrough from ray
"Hello Mario"
This was a fun as hell stream, enjoy TH-cam audience!
I love his videos
Ray is a sassy lady on the golf course.
Why'd they paint a red "W" on Daisy's ball?
The xc golf was the hardest for me
Does Ray ever figure out the up/down spin not being top/back spin? 2 hours in and there's still some painful down spin on shots trying to go up cliffs, lol.
Kinda wish "how the game actually works" wasn't just in optional text. :/

MCU
Mario Cinematic Universe
Pink yoshi throws for content
Love this game
Man mushroom kingdom must be based on NC, sunny one moment then 2mins later heavy rain with strong winds, 5 mins later bright and sunny again
8:11 so is Birdo canonically a girl now or still a guy that looks like a girl?
Birdo is seen as trans. Originally it was because of a weird mistranslation i think? "The translation of the fragment "She would rather be called" came out as "He would rather be called." and rather than attempt to re-translate everything, they rolled with it and added "He thinks he is a girl" in with the description.

2:43:37 As someone named Max, whenever you'll have me.
Nintendo mandated story portion fucked it up near the end huh
Hello Mario.
You should play Moria golf online
damn imagine pokemon golf

hey hey yo ho!
It's not a skirt it's a kilt
shut up, nobody cares
There’s something to be said for old Nintendo games that just… let you play the game without shoehorning in forced story.
This isn't a new idea. both the GameBoy Color and GBA Mario Tennis games had stories in them. they were RPGs.
I mean, I for one wouldn't buy this game if it didn't have a story mode - so can't say I see your point ^^'
Why are there 500 ads in the first hour of this video, hello? I like giving creators ad revenue but gawdamn
relax with the hyperbole, sport. he frontloads them to get them out of the way early. it's better that way
@@jbfarley not hyperbole idk if it was messed up or what, but the entire first hour was a solid yellow bar.
@@Richard_Frost it was objectively hyperbole. There isn't anywhere near 500 ads. That was clear and obvious hyperbole.

@@Richard_Frost do you know what a hyperbole is? Because you did exactly that. You over exaggerated an object... go back to school.
Wtf ray, I already paid $60 for this game because I like golf, but then you said not to buy it? You need to give me my money back.
Dang this game kinda not good huh
The game is good, just light on content right now. Story is not good though lol
It's good, jus not $60 good
Thankfully Ray can make even boring games very entertaining.
