Miyamoto plays both sides.
Completely agreed. F-Zero GX never cheats, and you very seldomly end up with the same "rival AI" ship winning every race.
If you thought the game was too hard, keep in mind that you DO NOT have to place first in every race to win. I know you're used to that because of cheating fucking AI that you have to beat in every race because they'll always be second place or first if you fuck up, but in GX last race's first place could be this race's fifth.
Also, note the convenient "RIVAL" marker on the ship whose rank threatens yours. Further note that you are given aggressive combat tools, and that any ship who doesn't finish the race ends up with 0 points, effectively taking them out of the running.
Anyone whining that the game was too hard wasn't playing the game right. You can place consistently 3rd to 5th and win the cup.
The game was nowhere near too hard, it was just right. The easy cups were easy, the regular stuff made you sit up to play, and the hard stuff was *SHOCK* actually a challenge. Can't have that these days, not from Nintendo! If Miyamoto had made the game it'd be as ridiculously easy as the N64 and GC Mario Karts and have the worst fucking rubber band AI in the world. Fun for everyone!
EDIT: LOL at last place in the last few Mario Karts having a 99.9% chance of getting the blue shell. Now THAT is good game design! Rubber band AI, items not being randomized but rather dependent on your position in the race... yeah!! Miyamoto is so right!
I don't know why I'm this worked up over this, it's been pretty obvious for years now that Nintendo has completely abandoned their fans because they sucked too much against real competition from Sony and Microsoft and have been reduced to pandering to the very young, the elderly, or anyone else who completely lacks the ability to judge a video game based on experience, skill, or anything else worthwhile. Hay look I move the controller and the cursor moves on the screen lol! How do they do it!!
Someone get a mop. Mzo's about to explode with truth, blood, and guts.
Nintendo broke TNL.
TNL prevails <3
The cups aren't too bad, but I thought the individual story mode was insanely hard. I think you have to do a practice lap under certain time and I was no where near close to it and I thought I ran a perfect lap.
But I love the game all the same, it is one of Sega's few gems from last gen.
*Looks at thread title*
Ah, so that's why it took almost ten years for me to get a good Mario game. (2d)
And F-Zero GX is probably the best game on the Gamecube. Getting SEGA (AV) to work on it was brilliant, fuck him.
