That's not fair. I've also mentioned that I enjoy yogurt.lisalover1 wrote: Jeez, you really must hate Mario Kart; it's all you've been talking about since you returned to the forums. What don't you like about it?
I don't hate Mario Kart. I've played it, I enjoyed it, but I pined for something better. I love racers -- absolutely love em. Mario Kart pains me because it could be better, or at least, flexible in its configuration. Races tend to become a crap-shot as to who wins, all in an effort to make it accessible. I don't mind that, if there was a way to tweak the game to make it a bit more technical and tactical.
But for several console generations, for Kart racing, it was Mario or nothing. Any other cart racer felt insincere. As mentioned, over the years, I played it, enjoyed it, pining for something better, while growing resentful that I had to play Mario Kart or nothing. Finally, there are options that surpass Mario. At least, they cater more to what I've been wanting from a cart racer, and they've also enthused my die-hard Mario Kart lovin' friends. That last part was key.
Mario, by default, has been the defacto standard. That's no longer the case, I think.
Plus, Nintendo really grates on my nerves. That's just from the themes, the characters, the designs, etc. Just seeing the initial M on his cap annoys me
But they make games I enjoy, so, whatever... I try to ignore it as best I can.Its been a good couple month for racers, so, I'll talk about Mario Kart. ModNation, Sonic... I almost want to lump Split/Second in there. And Blur looks like it could be fun.
Anyway, I'll stop bitching and moaning about Mario Kart now. I'll get back to talking about yogurt.
Have a good weekend!
