Whats the point? If your good enough to be in the lead the whole time, why are so many reviewers getting screwed at the end? I've heard this complaint from plenty of people, only the die-hards say otherwise, and well guess what percentage of those who picked up the game aren't die-hards. For something so silly I think it should be docked massive points, it would be like playing a fighting game where you could take the same guy down to 1% health then he just becomes invincible. That would annoy the piss out of me to be in the lead for 99% of the match and come in 4th. |
Here is the catch to that which most people don't seem to get. If you are just barely infront of someone then they are probably just as good as you are. Your lead should be constantly increasing until second place is so far behind you that you have time to get up and make a sandwich while the race finishes. If you drop 3 places due to any item at the finish line then you were just barely squeeking out a victory. Relatively small differences in skill in Mario Kart tends to create a large gap in times for a race. Being ahead of the competition by one second is nothing at all.
