Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)

"I'm using tilt controls!" must be some sort of euphamism

[Yoshi]

The entire multiplayer game is about getting ten coins first and then running away with it. With how rare the catch up items are, you're golden.

edit: You're way more likely to get hit in eighth or whatever than first.

They also have a GamePad screen protector on clearance for $2.

I have one, it's called in the drawer where it belongs because it sucks

Also, this is Nintendo's finest hour because I swear they just hose me in this game for me thinking they aren't that good

I agree with this (sort of) because the racing isn't "difficult" enough to make it interesting in that regard

[Yoshi]

Exactly. It's not a skill based game, aside from hitting the rocket start and lining up the coins.

I can't believe they didn't add the escape Transformed has.

Does Metal Mario have some asshole powerup that lets him go 1000 MPH for 5 seconds?

[Yoshi]

Probably

Not for nothing, but you seem to feel this way about a lot of games. I remember in Burnout Paradise's infancy you had a lot of complaints as well. I mean, if being critical is part of the enjoyment you get out of it, I get that, but sounds like you could spend more time on Sonic, sell this game, and be happier for it. But whatever works for you.

Well if everyone had Sonic on PC (it's been 7 dollars 100 times now), we would play it

This is a fine game. But what Yoshi said isn't wrong at all.

Also, I don't think of BP as a racer so much as a screw around with other people game. That was where all the time went. Granted, I did do all the SP too. I put a ton of time into that game, actually. I've already put more time into MK8 than I expected to at launch. That means I am enjoying myself. I actually want to buy a WiiU headset of all things now.

But it's just not as good of a game as Sonic was and at the top of the list is the thing that I guess people like most about Mario Kart. That's not what *I* like about those kind of games though. And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be high-and-mighty (because frankly, I'm not really that good anyway). But it's a statement of fact.
