After I review a new title for Destructoid, it's usually shelved after we run the review, as I move on to the next title. This is not the case for Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds for the PlayStation 3; I still play it nightly.
I adore every aspect except one: the characters' quirks. In this version, the golfers look and sound better than they ever have before. And you can change their clothes, swing styles, and even equipment. But you can't change the stupid things they do. One character, Bjorn, runs up to the "camera" and sticks his face in it, usually scaring the sh*t out of me. Another, Sasha, does this creepy/seductive loli legspread before she tees off; I don't feel right looking at it. Oh, and she frequently clears her throat. And this isn't a womanly throat-clear; she sounds like a burly trucker! Why does she do that?
I could play this game for the rest of my life, but I need some new characters that don't do stupid things. The PlayStation Blog gives me hope with the announcement of Gloria and Alex. Players know Alex as the hostess of the game's menu screen. Gloria is...well, Gloria. I don't know her, but she seems nice.
They will both be released on the PlayStation Network tomorrow, May 15th, for $.99 each. I can swing that! Alex's skill level will be intermediate; Gloria's is expert.
There's also a new game patch to download. See you at the course!

I don't know alot about the Hot Shots characters but I remember seeing Gloria in Hot Shots Tennis.
Alex has one dodgey eye and looks like she should be a pirate and needs an eye patch; whilst Glorias clothes has obviously shrunk in the wash (or she is too poor and has grown out of them).
I can only imagine what there quirky animation styles and voice/sayings shall be.
Gloria? The one in the animated icon on the XMB before you start the game? The one that i drove myself insane trying to unlock? She wasn't in the game!? FUCK!! Also, i prefer this Pirate Alex you speak of. To seal the deal, give her a sexysexy peg leg and a monkey.
She clears her throat? WTF that's terrible. Although the legspread sounds damn hottt.
Throat clearing sounds fucking strange. I'll get this game when it hits the Greatest Hits.
I've always liked HSG but have no idea why I have not picked up the PS3 version yet....hrmmm
i need to play more hot shots as it is. still kinda new to it. but seems a little more challenging than tiger 07.
vid of the loli celebration, plz
for research purposes of course
BTW I find games like Hotshots golf: out of bounds online and track nations forever as a new genre in gaming.
This is purely because although you are playing with other online real people, there actions do not effect your own. You may as well be playing by yourself.
It is just a case of if you achieve your personal average on that course that you hope it is above the other players personal average (or that you got lucky and played above your average).
Players online do not actualy interact or effect each others game. It's like single player online where others can watch so that you can try to show you have the biggest **** for that round.
It is like a new bread of semi-multiplayer or un/none-interactive multiplayer.
The only benefit is not having to worry about 'ping' delay times.
You would like a loli leg split.
