    Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?

    [–] madthumbs 17 points 3 months ago (4 children)

    There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.

    Don’t forget ~~bloodborne~~ nightmare kart

    [–] Sanctus 0 points 3 months ago

    Nightmare Kart is like playing Mario Kart for the first time again, or Chocobo Racing. Gave me nostalgia for a game I never played before.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

    Eh, even with track creation, I prefer Modnation Racers and its spiritual successor LittleBigPlanet Karting. Shame both games are stuck on the PS3, but then SuperTuxKart still looks like it came out of the PS2. They run well in RPCS3 and online still works for track sharing through fan servers.

    Also, I wasn't that impressed by Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled. It does have tons of content, certainly worth the price. Never played the originals and the remake sure does look pretty, but the track design feels pretty simple, probably because they're from a PS1 game. Simple track layouts, few gimmicks. Some people might prefer that, but not me. I'm sure CTR beat the socks off Mario Kart 64 back in the day, but the tracks in modern Mario Kart are to me far more interesting. I expected more out of it given all the hype. Plus, for some unfathomable reason despite being multiplatform the game was only released on consoles, not PC, so that's another game you have to emulate to play on PC. And if you do have a console to play it on, it's locked at 30fps regardless of platform, which is disappointing for a racing game. There's a 60fps mod if you emulate tho, thankfully.

    All-Stars Racing Transformed does have my glowing recommendation, though.

    Thanks, I'd look into it.

    Sonic all stars racong transformed is so peak, i played it on me moms ipad when i was little.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)

    [–] Resol 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Open-source Mario Kart with all the functionality of Mario Kart, and you don't even have to spend money on an actual Wii.

    [–] madthumbs -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Mariokart isn't all that great by today's standards though. The tracks look pretty and all (Tuxkart not so), but game-play wise Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed blows it away (and it's even old).

    [–] Resol 1 points 3 months ago

    You bet that's a game I'm willing to try out now that you recommended it to me.

    [–] jqubed 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Mario Kart can be fun depending on how your partner is with video games in general and how you are as a couple competitively. Overcooked can also be a good franchise as a coop game but I’ve also heard in some languages it’s referred to as “divorce kitchen” so your mileage may vary.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

    Hehe. Some games we tried were too much so I guess something more simplistic gotta be nice.
