In your opinion

i can safely say that my opinion holds more weight than yours

You clearly misunderstood me for the Play, Creat Share concept. I am refering to Kart racing in general (Nintendo made it big with Mario Kart) and this idea is Sony's unique twist off Kart Racing (i.e. what makes LBP racing look different to Mario Kart. Hence a unique twist off Nintendo's Idea. Didn't dodge anything, and I'm being as clear as I can about this.

Why do you refer to that drift boost mechanic in Mario Kart as a Manual Speed Boost? It's so confusing. Anyway.

I never said MNR plays very very differently from Mario Kart, and yes LBP Kart isn't released yet, but like I said, from this video, it looks like a complete rip off. Where's the confusion?

CTR did create drift boosts, which MKDD copied, what's your point? I never said everything in Kart racing originated from Mario Kart. I only said I wish LBP was more original, something like CTR would have made a better game.

LBP laso techniques could have been implemented in ways not identical to MK7. LBP had more then just swinging abilities with the laso.

I'm really confused, you read my very logical points, and just don't understand them. How do you not see the similarities and refuse to accept the game looks like a clone? Are you just in denial, or just can't accept my opinion.

you don't have to think LBP Kart is a rip off of Mario Kart. I never told you to, I only said this looks like one. Why you're making this a big deal.... I dunno.

You ->"similar acceleration and cornering performance look like every other Kart game with different characters to me"

So.....every kart racer looks like the Mario Kart Formula Nintendo made? What about Diddy Kong Racing/Banjo Pilot, what about Chocobo Racing? Those games are drastically different in structure and gameplay....wow is everything just a Mario Kart clone to you, to the point you can't tell them apart?....scratching barrel.....then why does my opinion matter if everything is a rip off of the gameplay Nintendo started????????????.....barrel...explodes.

Me->These games are all very different from Mario Kart, far more different then LBP, you can't deny that. I just wish Sony followed their own formula.

You->so since you say that LBP is far more different i guess it is safe to say that you are admitting that it is different from Mario Kart

-----Back to me----

You...need to re-read that. Chocobo Racing and DKC look very different from MK, where LBP Kart looks very similar. That's not at all what you interpreted.

Boost extendors are flight extendors. Mario Kart 7 is the only Kart racer to have them now (handgliders and submarines), and LBP Kart is copying that.....DKR and Crash never had this feature. Common, enough with the bs comments, re-read what I posted if you don't understand what I said.

----

Me->Not the point, the point is, it's not a rip off like LBP here.

you->that's not a point because LBP had lasos in its games before this game was announced

----Back to me---

Laso's in LBP were used more to then just swing. in LBPK they are not, and only mimic the application of MK7.

Your opinion, but again I say shortcuts ruin the game

yup and your opinion is a VAST minority. as a matter of fact.....

---Back to me---

My opinion is a vast minority, that's why Mario Kart, a game without many shortcuts, typically outsells every other Kart racer by huge margins?
Please, when you take your opinion and use it as fact (literally)....you just present no arguement. I expect a little intelligence here, don't expand your opinion as the opinion of the majority. Like I said I have never heard anyone say CTR is better then Mario Kart, and I never heard anyone say shortcuts make the game.

If Shortcuts make the game, why don't games like Top Gear Overdrive and F.A.S.T. sell well?

It's only ME who complains about shortcuts? I think it's only you who loves them so much.

You -> "i can safely say that my opinion holds more weight than yours."

Yep...arguement is over. Your opinion is valid as fact, and no one else in the world can have a different one. Forget Mario Kart sells to 1 in 3 Wii owners, it's got no backbone.

 

Seriously I advise you read my post twice, you're merging separate arguements (LBPK and Sony smash Clone are separate arguements relating to separate points) and making brand new ones up, and at the same time ignoring my points all together.

In the end

It's really a matter of opinion. I think LBP Kart is a big rip off of Mario Kart 7, not everyone will.
On a separate note I think shortcuts ruin racing games, and like most people, I think Mario Kart is the best Kart racer around.

Feel free to have a different opinion, just don't say your opinions are facts.
