so mario kart 8 is fun, but i felt not enough changed, nor is there enough new things. I mean anti gravity mode is not special is the sense that everyone has it. its not something you get in the game. its just part of the scenery. It adds one thing though, the ability to boost off of other players. a slight added strategy.
Now I tried discussing intelligently what would make the mario kart game better on a different forum...
sadly I was met with er... interesting people who felt that 'if only there was a silver luigi, the game would be better'... really?... as if baby luigi wasnt enough... whats with the damn babies anyhow?
frankly i dont give a darn for the characters as much as I do gameplay, becasue the characters are not vastly different as in games like super smash. That and the fact that a silver luigi wont change the game!
Here are some fixes that would add strategy and better gameplay, unfortunately i don't develop games. only websites...
Item Upgrades:
it sucks when your in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place and you have a banana as your arsenal. And when you go through item boxes you sigh as nothing happens. It would be nice if there were upgraded items. This would add a lot of strategy:
hold onto your item and hope for a better one, while risking losing it to lightning or whatever...
if your in first place hold on to one item and watch it develop into something more suitable. granted it will take time... but the wait gives more strategy to the game...and protection.
keep your item for the next race:
the next race should begin with you holding an item if you had one at the end of your last race. this will be beneficial to people in last place. imagine someone in 12th spot starting with a bomb or a star? gives the loser a bit of an edge...
spectators should be able to grant items:
lets face it. its extremely boring to spectate. it would be nice if we were able to 'sponsor' an item to the player of our choice. imagine the excitement one would get when they realize that someone is watching them...and rooting for them.
So what do you think would make mario kart a more strategic game? cause right now theres too much luck involved i think... you can go from 1st place to last too easily. and from 12th to 3rd quite easily too.
