Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I really don't care for MK8. The car physics are just not that great. Feels like I'm just gliding through the course. The AI is not that competitive. I'm constantly getting hit but keep getting 1st place without even trying. Graphics look great but that's about it. I have tried this game a few times but just bored while playing. Double Dash is still my favorite Mario Kart game.

@Dan420 Inflation for electronics is not the same. Electronics are cheaper now than they ever have been.

For example... I 55" inch TV in the 80's or 90's would have been very expensive. You can buy a 4K 55" TV now for $250 USD.

Another example... Low budget PIIi PC cost about $1500 in 2000. I purchased one then. Buy a low budget PC now for about $300 USD.

Hence why game then cost $50 to $60 bucks as they do now. Some are higher then and now. But to the point of your $20 Select / Player's Choice game costing $40 now is not true when games then were sold for $50 to $60 USD then. Game development is done usually through game making apps now as compared to ASM or C code. Faster and easier.
