@loadhigh@bitbang.social I've been trying to solve this issue myself for a while, and the conclusion I came to last time was that for every positive feature in a given application, there were at least two important parts missing.
(Spoilers, I ended up with Joplin even though I'm not super thrilled about it, but I just wanted a solution dangit)
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games That's the issue... 8DX feels too "clean". The older games felt a bit more rough and frantic, like you're actually trying to keep a dodgy little kart under control.
But I mainly like Wii because of the inline bikes zipping about all over the track. Lots of fun.
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games This was my first Mario Kart, so I am contractually obliged to love it to bits (even if I'm no good at it). Takes second place in my MK list, just below Wii.
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Fun fact: Ridge Racer 4 comes with a bonus disc containing a slightly improved copy of the original! There are probably a few bugfixes, but the main selling point is that it runs at 60fps.
@Dennis5891@OutofPrintArchive I apologise for the somewhat shameless pluggery, and you're very welcome to tell me to pound sand. HOWEVER: you may well get a kick out of this mini-documentary series I made about pinball video games. https://youtu.be/BfcQwuH9FSY
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games @COMPU73E@mstdn.games Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row, Lego City Undercover... the GTA-likes always seem to be better than GTA itself

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games When I was younger, I assumed this had some relation to Chibi-Robo
