Whatever floats your boat.

Fact is, though, Mario Kart requires skill.

It was just boring.

Totally bland, it wanted to be the Micro Machines of 2000s but was shit. Nothing in it stood out at all, apart from the loading times :P

Yup, hub worlds were cool in 1997, not so much now. Back then exploring any 3d "space" was fascinating. Now the 3d space has to actually contain something with a purpose.

Yeah, this guy told me how Mario Kart takes no skill over and over when I gave him about 500 points stating why it does.  BTW, I can stay in front and win every time unless I'm playing someone on the same level as me.

On topic: Modnation Racers didn't do good becasue it isn't a very good game.  I played it and the controls are very loosey goosey.  I'd rate Mario Kart, Gran Turismo, Forza, Excite Truck, Wipeout, and even Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing above it.   I could go on, but I won't.

^^^ the man thinks it takes no skill let him have his opinion, i think MK does take skill but IMO MNR was more challenging

It got lost in it's release date. Not to mention GT5 and NFS were the two big releases in the racing genre last holiday season. Although I see ModNation Racers reaching 2 - 3 Million lifetime due to bundles.

I am letting him have his opinion, but I am also entitled to mine.

I have raced several people with his opinion and guess what?  Most of their opinions changed after that. 

Like i said, it does require some skill. So that's why you beat all those people. But you can't tell me that there is a way you can beat someone that gets the red shell/blue shell over and over. And the higher place you are in, the worse the weapons you are most likely to get. That causes major rubber banding. Modnation racers takes more skill because the drifiting is more like you said (loosy). And it takes skill when to know to use your boost, weapons, and when to save up weapons to make them stronger. Also, when to tail someones boost power at max speed. Both are a lot of fun, but MNR simply requires more skill (imo) and i would rather play it, and play with user made tracks and mods than MK any day. Also like i said, i think it sold less because of the mascot problem.

Ive played both and MNRs is harder than MKWii by far, its actually kind of stupid how hard the game was, the crazy thing is my little cousins prefer it over MK, that kind of shocked me, because i didnt think little kids would love the diffuculty (they learned pretty quick)

I love Modnation. I wish it would sell better. My friends like it too, we race every once in a while. I just thing the load times turn away the casual audience.
