Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

That fucking diss at Mario Kart World was fire

I still need to give the Sonic kart racing games a shot. It seems to be the only decent mascot kart racer available on PC.

Really wish the Crash Bandicoot one gets ported... But it's still stuck on PlayStation...

Sonic Racing All Stars Transformed regularly went on sale for $5 and is incredibly good, it even has great singleplayer modes with good progression.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Yep. I've heard good things about All Star Racing several times now. Probably should get it...

Disney speedstorm has solid gameplay…. At the expense of being pay to win in most modes. I played enough to “unlock” split screen and politely explained to my kiddo he can only be one of like 3 characters. Damn shame the game has a slot machine barrier. As soon as this sonic game drops though I’m grabbing it.

That Nickelodeon Kart series is not too bad too, maybe it doesn't look or play as well as the Disney one, but at least you get the characters with the game

[–] XiberKernel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I have one of those from a humble bundle, I’ll have to check it out again (it’s been a while). The main thing I’m looking for is a kid friendly “auto steer / auto accelerate” mode that still gives him some sense of control. I noticed a lot of Nickelodeon, licensed games don’t include any voice acting, which irritates me, but the kiddo probably won’t mind.

Sounds like the kind of game I want to avoid like a contagious cancer.

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 15 hours ago

This looks cool!

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

It's going to have crossplay, so for me it's already GOTY material.

The first two Sonic kart racing games were good, but I heard that the third one was a step down from the first two. (I've only played the first two myself.) I liked the fact that the first games had split screen for couch multiplayer on PC -- that's not common.
