So I was just playing MK8 for a while, and just like all Mario Kart games before it, it's such a terrible game in so many ways! The often almost purely luck-based gameplay is frustrating more often than it is fun, and the "if you get hit once at just the right moment you have to restart the whole 4-race-long circuit" is maybe even more obnoxious now than it was on the Super Nintendo. Yeah, the game is beautiful and plays well, but how often is that gameplay actually fun? In multiplayer, sure... but in single player?
