Yeah, I agree, some kind of counter and/or bar showing you how many excess rings you have remaining would certainly be handy to help you know when you have a ring boost going on and when it's going to end. It'll certainly remove an element of guessing and make it easier to plan when to use your...

Ring Racers Noire is a custom fork of the game with additional options and fixes here and there, including the ability to customize various mechanics and bot behavior (with the caveat that it only works with local play as far as I'm aware). There's no outright release download as far as I know...

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what a second layer of anti-item sandbagging would do since, as Casual Koopa mentioned, a set of boxes are deactivated for a specific player if they've already picked up an item, until certain conditions are met (such as finishing a lap). I do have one thing in mind now...

Okay, having tried the Noire build (thank you, srb2bld!), I turned off bot rubberband boost, as well as basically disabling all of the Rival "cheat" options. After playing a few cups... I gotta say, while nerfing the CPUs like this certainly makes completing cups on Intense less stressful, it...

Oh, I'd certainly try it out and see for myself if that's the case... If I could find it. So far, no luck.

Part of me wants to actually try and create a custom build that 1) dials back the overall grand prix difficulty, 2) neuters the rivals and 3) turns off dynamic difficulty. Now, if only I had any experience with building anything made in C... Seriously, it's galling that even on Intense doing...

I absolutely agree with all of this. Intense either needs to be dialed back difficulty-wise or there needs to be a Gear 2 difficulty between Relaxed and Intense, which I already proposed as 'Moderate' or something like that. Pretty much the vast majority of my issues with this game revolve...

Side note, this game needs a story mode of some kind. The interactions between Tails and Eggman in the tutorials are incredibly charming and the Sealed Star special stages alone beg so many freaking questions by themselves, never mind a whole bunch of spoiler stuff, as well as why a bunch of...

A couple of things, at least: Rivals need to be more interesting to race against, not just more challenging. Right now Rivals are just harder CPUs that just cheat. That's not fun, and there's no meaningful counterplay against them, especially since players are incentivized to dispose of items...

Yeah, might be best to just toss Gear 1 as it is now and improve the handling across the board. Gear 1 is frankly so slow it's boring. Or just make a Moderate difficulty with Gear 2 speed and Relaxed-level AI (or at least some happy medium between Relaxed and Intense). But I'd still like that...

So while the latest patch does absolutely improve some things in terms of difficulty, the fact that the difficulty levels of the Grand Prix goes from Relaxed to Intense without anything in-between is kinda telling. It genuinely feels like Kart Krew has a "git good scrub" mentality at times, and...

Yeah, that's my thought as well. The "for seasoned veterans" should be Hard or even Master difficulty, not Normal. I understand making rivals more challenging to make players not quite so comfortable, but making the AI outright cheat is just not fun.

The new patch is absolutely an improvement, and in many ways I absolutely want to love Ring Racers? But as someone who didn't play that much of SRB2K and whose kart racing experience is mostly through Mario Kart and some Crash Team Racing, I gotta frontload my criticisms: The game feels too...

I finished this last night, loved it. Had some minor criticisms that I wrote down in my review, but yeah, aside from the gory scene being unnessary and could be done just as well without doing that, I do think I have some issues with the story beyond there being too little of it for my tastes...

It's official. Sonic's fighting style looks SPECTACULAR. As well, they focused on his speed... And his spin dash, which has become more and more useless in the main Sonic games. And he has his style, to boot. Much like Diddy Kong, screenshots fail to truly capture the way he moves. And Super...

Indeed... Also... I reckon we're going to have one HELL of an update later related to this. Including the trailer. If it happens, I want you to know that I smegging called it.

Screw odds... SONIC IN BRAWL OMG Seriously, even though I have this odd feeling that IGN and/or their source is pulling a prank on us, I highly doubt it. Also, online co-op.

Nobody saw this coming. Ladies and Gentlemen, the game seems to have an actual plot. There's text hidden between the images. For whoever can't be arsed to highlight them: "In this world, trophies fight. They know nothing but fighting. Fighting is the sole reason for their existence. Being...

OI! Some of you may not think the same, but that Wii Balance Board, Wii Fit aside, the board creates possibilities for some awesome gameplay ideas (Snowboarding games, for starters), and is practically a perfect compliment for the Wii Remote. Besides, I wouldn't mind playing Wii Fit, myself...

Eh, nevermind, then. Still, the graphics could be improved greatly. Like it or not, almost every developer is doing a half-arsed job with graphics in Wii games. Resident Evil 4 trumps most of them, really, and the Wii version hasn't been updated graphically at all. Even if NiGHTS is one of the...
