it WAS Duskbloods until I found out it was PVP first. PVE second. the PVP elements are the shit I hate the most in fromsoft games (They're good modes but I HATE being forced into them for the crime of wanting to play with friends and I just generally hate competitive modes outside of nonsense stuff like Smash Bros and Mario KArt and Mario PArtY).
Now I don't even know if I want it.
Mario Kart, however, is EXACTLY what I theorized it needed to be after how good Mario Kart 8 ended up being, from the open world to the linked maps to the free roam. THAT game looks like it was so perfectly tailored to my tastes and interests that I Don't mind the price.
I'm happy to pay for a game I love, and I've been saying since 2011 when I first played Skyrim that some games are worth 100+ Dollars even if I knew that entitled people are gonna bitch about it.
