Admittedly this isn't 10+ years but it is 8 years.

I was a massive fan of the Hot Shots Golf series since the original on PS1 in 1998. As far as main console games go, they had 2 games on PS1, 2 games on PS2 and 1 game on PS3 but then later ported a really good Vita title to PS3 as well giving it two titles.

The PS3 title was Out of Bounds and it was the best in the series by far. Simply amazing. It came out in 2008. I played it for thousands of hours for years with a friend playing it weekly for 5 years until the server was killed. Best game ever.

We waited and waited and waited on a PS4 title and finally after 9 fucking years they gave us one and it was DOGSHIT. They completely changed and ruined everything about the series they had spent 20 years building. It is fucking horrible and no long time fan that I knew liked it. They all thought it was terrible. We waited 9 years to just be incredibly disappointed.

They never had a robust online tournament mode like 5 did. It was the last title developer Clap Hanz worked on. That was 8 years ago. So we waited 9 years to get shit and that shit is now 8 years old. We haven't seen a main console proper Hot Shots Golf game since 2008 and I'm fucking bitter about it.

I'm normally very laid back and chill and non vocal about complaints, but I whine about this one. My friend and I still talk about this regularly to this day and both grumble about it. There is actually a new game slated to come out this year, but Clap Hanz is not involved and they were the devs since the 2nd game in 2000. Them not being involved doesn't give me confidence. From a trailer it looks like they are trying to rectify some of the damage of the shitty ps4 game and ditched avatars to go back to set characters which is a big plus. But it still looks like it is traditional swing only and it remains to be seen if they will change other shitty mechanics they brought into that atrocious PS4 game.

So yeah long drawn out way to say I'm salty. I'm very salty.
