yep i'm playing offline to get a feel of the game first to get familiar. what a great day it was. i win a bet cause the heat win WOOOOT!! with the money helped me buy my game/system. i'm fucking loving it so far and i'm currently doing the same, unlocking shit before i jump online =D
I just finished a 10-hour online run. People online are crazy. There's already pros out there and it hasn't even been 3 days since the game came out. Anyways, this game is too much fun and addictive as hell. I literally can't put it down.
Bought it at launch when stores opened. Started out a bit rusty at first from not playing Mario Kart DS or Wii. This new Mario Kart 8 feels a lot more difficult then the latter. Also a lot more fun as well. Definitely worth $60.
There's nothing more satisfying than destroying a blue shell with a horn and then feel the complete opposite when a red shell comes right afterwards and screws you up.
been playing a lot and discovered that you can in fact dodge the blue shell with a mushroom just like the wii and 3ds versio(s) takes precision timing. 150cc is the most challenging yet in any mario kart... mirror mode must be another headache lol
After playing this for 3 weeks, I'm kinda missing the constant item rape from Mario Kart Wii and 7. It's way too easy to separate yourself from the pack and hold first place in this game, so playing Worldwide/Regional is pretty boring. I'm only around 2000 VR so hopefully it gets tougher as it increases.
