I love it when a thread goes exactly as I predicted :D

People are far too defensive of PS3 games, I wish people would defend Nintendo and MS Ip's like this. On another thread I said 360 has a crap library of action adventure games and no one took arms.

I consider myself fairly reasonable, but I just can't stand when people call every new karting game a Mario Kart clone.  How can people not realize that Nintendo made a new racing subgenre and if you want to make a game within that subgenre it's going to look like Mario Kart to some extent.  But the idea that the grappling hook in LBP2 which released before MK7 is somehow being used to copy hang gliders in LBP karting, it's just so bad it hurts.  If you can assume those are copying I guess LBP Karting can't do anything with the kart off the ground because that'll be copying the glider too, and they probably shouldn't use weapons because that's copying, and the physics, I mean come on.  You have got to be kidding me.  Honestly it's such a stupid argument it hurts to read it.  

So yeah PS3 fans can be too defensive, but you sure didn't help the matter.

What am I suppose to do when my opinions are overweighed by the opinions of other individuals? Every time I give the slightest insult to any PS3 exclusive, individuals will try to discredit my opinion, or literally say their opinion is more accurate. Did that not happen here?

Not every Kart racer is a close of Mario Kart, but when I saw that LBPK trailer it sure looked a lot like Mario Kart 7. MNR I would argue is different enough not to be a MK clone, but a compeditor.

As for the grappling hook, it's used in more applications then just swinging in LBP2, but in LBP Kart it isn't. It should be. If I see Sackboy using it to help him corner or pull people out of his way, then I will change my opinion about the grappling hook, but the way I see it now, Sony tried to make this like MK7.

Guess since it's within the Kart subgenre, the physics will always bee similar, but why does every kart racer now have to have dashing turns, and other goodies from MK? Wish there was more variation in this subgenre, like Diddy Kong Racing.
