When SE eventually collapses from it's own stupid and shitty business decisions, I call dibs on pissing on their grave first.

Also, maybe I don't understand racing games because my experience with racing games is more or less limited to Mario Kart but like, how do you fuck this shit up so, so badly? WHY DO RACING GAMES NEED A STORE OR BATTLE PASSES OR MTX? HOW DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE THE GAME BETTER?

Oh wait, the accountants and stockholders run things. Fun isn't the point of games anymore, it's feeding the fucking greed machine because InFiNiTe PeRpEtUaL GrOwTh.
It's shit like this that makes me have sympathy for Marx and Engels.....far more then anything Marx and Engels ever fucking said or wrote. Congrats greedy fucks, you're making communism sound reasonable. *Slow Clap*

If you want to play some other arcade racing games not Mario Kart, here is a recommendation:
  • Wipe Out: Omega Collection (PS4)
  • Cruis'n Blast (Switch)
  • Fast RMX (Switch)
  • Driveclub (PS4)

@BrawlMan, @Dalisclock, I'd also like to make a shout-out to Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. It's a little older, but still a very, very good kart racer. Yeah, I know, the hedgehog's name attached doesn't inspire confidence, but it's imo better than the plumber's. Underrated. Trite, but true. Also, regularly goes on sale for less than a fiver.

Harry Potter - TERF Fantasy Game.

Funny they mention Kenshin. I can't even watch the anime anymore after learning about the author's nasty habits. I have not touched anything Kenshin related since 2014.

I couldn't even remember what Kenshin was.

Wierdly, I was totally into what Pat was talking about....and then he gets on the wierd rant about his wife drinking pickle brine and now thats the most memorable part of the video for some bizarre reason.

There's some hilarious irony of Sony basically going "No, we're not going to release Demons Souls overseas" and then it ended up doing pretty well despite that, so Sony crawled back and wanted to Publish Bloodborne. No Doubt through a poison swamp full of balisks and rabid dogs that Miyazaki-san had installed between his office door and his desk specifically for the occasion.

And of course, there's the wierdness of Sony didn't want to publish Demons Souls overseas, found out it did well and still won't publish it on anything but playstation hardware despite seeing FROM games do well when they're multi-platform.

The really weird part was that the game was already available in english, fully voice acted and everything. When more and more people started talking about it I got the asian version which could be played fully in english (I think they re did the translation for the eventual NA release). They had so little faith in it that they didn't even bother to release it despite most of the work already been done, I hope whoever made that call at Sony lost their job, clearly they have very little abilities to judge game quality.

I am with Max here. Sony is not giving out enough info, and they know this. Funny how they have all of these prices. but can't even bother to give a list, despite this big announcement.
