It's okay. They're from Pittsburgh, not exactly a city one can take seriously. :P
| the_dengle said: I don't understand complaints about the roster. It's by far the largest and most diverse in the series. The IGN reviewer's complaints are particularly baffling, as he criticizes the large collection of babies for being too similar to their non-baby counterparts, yet offers Dry Bones (literally a palette swap of the already-playable Koopa Troopa) as a suggested alternative. At least the babies are in a different weight class from their adult forms, meaning they handle differently. This is sort of a recurring trend: people criticizing the character selection, but suggesting few good alternatives. The only major cuts from previous entries are Birdo, Diddy Kong, and Bowser Jr. I swear nobody cared one bit about these characters until they were taken away. 3-5 years ago I remember lots of complaints about Bowser Jr being overused and the Koopaligs being in need of a comeback. Now Jr is axed in favor of ALL SEVEN Koopa Kids and people are whining about Bowser's eighth subordinate being cut? Gamers have the shortest memory spans I've ever seen. All these great newcomers and they find a way to be dissatisfied. I guess they forgot that last time around our newcomers were Honey Queen and Wiggler. |
Whut? Honey Queen n Wiggler >>>>> Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach! While the roster may be the biggest, it's still less diverse than Mario Kart Wii, as instead of unique and staple franchise characters like Birdo, Diddy Kong, and King Boo, you get a bunch of turtles and reskins. I agree though that the roster is not something to knock the game for, especially when only one other Mario Kart game had a better roster imo.
A website called Cheat Happens has given this game 4.2 out of 5, or 84%, but gamerankings has listed the score incorrectly out of 10, meaning MK8 apparently has a review score of 42%! This has shaved a full point off the average score, which is now down to 87%. It needs to be fixed!
And still two weeks....ahhhh can't wait!
I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?
I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Doesnt matter that much, most people use metacritic anyways!

Mario Kart 8 is full of reskins, when Wii had Bowser & Dry Bowser, Koopa Troopa & Dry Bones, Mario & Luigi?
Everyone hated Honey Queen and Wiggler when 7 came out. That game's full roster was 17 compared to 8's 30. It had four new drivers to 8's nine, and Lakitu was the only popular addition.
Since when are Birdo and Diddy Kong "staple franchise characters?" Just because they were in Double Dash and Wii? Diddy Kong isn't even a Mario character, and Birdo hasn't had a significant role in a Mario game since that NES game that, as it turns out, wasn't even really a Mario game.
Whereas the Koopalings are unique recurring boss characters in main entries of the Mario series. Yeah, unique. They're not reusing the same character model and animations 7 times over for these guys.
Does anyone know if this game is 720P/60FPS or 1080P? I still don't know if that rumor about 1080P 60FPS is true or not..

iirc its 720p 60fps 1-2 players and 720p 30fps 3-4 players

And that's why sometimes less is better.
