I would enjoy Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots a lot more if everyone stopped YELLING AT ME

Seven years ago, the author discovered Clap Hanz's Everybody's Golf series, starting with the 2017 edition. The franchise has been a PlayStation exclusive since 1997, with only one mobile version released in Japan. The announcement of Everybody's Golf Hot Shots for PC excited the author, but the game features relentless dialogue from characters, which became overwhelming. In Challenge Mode, the author chose Alie as a starting character and experienced excessive encouragement from her caddy. The introduction of German caddy Hugh added to the frustration with repetitive phrases. The author expressed concerns about the impact of the voice lines on their enjoyment of the game and hopes for improvements.

Rhythm games use a lot of classical music, huh?

Classical music has significantly influenced video game soundtracks, with examples including Philippe Vachey’s incorporation of Johann Strauss and Saint-Saëns, and games like Catherine and Grand Theft Auto 3 featuring classical pieces. The rhythm game Pump it Up Rise includes classical remixes, a hallmark of the series since 1999, with remixes by BanYa such as Take The Devil and Turkey March. BanYa's adaptations, like Winter and Beethoven Virus, showcase a blend of classical and modern elements. Other rhythm games, including Audition Online and Taiko no Tatsujin, also feature classical music. The use of classical compositions in games is partly due to their emotional resonance and copyright advantages, as works by composers like Beethoven and Mozart are in the public domain.
