It's just that I played the Wii U version with the ex, and unlocking characters gave it a bit more purpose than unlocking new wheels. Starting a game with everything already available always feels a bit rubbish to me - like, what am I actually aiming for now? I see your point. They should probably try and create some free DLC for people to unlock if they get x amount of things, even if only 3 characters or some old SNES tracks. Having 1 character if you complete 200cc is horrid. I can't win all of the 150cc cups. I had Mario Kart 8 on Wii U, I don't remember it having any unlockable characters (maybe it did) just ones you had to pay extra for. Â Edit: just checked there were loads of them.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2017 I think all the Koopa Kids were unlockable on the Wii U, as well as the naff ones like Metal Mario. Maybe Toadette or something like that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Alienation is aces, yeah it's a simple twin stick shooter but it has a bunch of Diablo like loot/class/skill tree elements and some great co-op action. The art style is balls and I could see that putting people off as it makes the game look generic as fuck at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't touched an online shooter since Bruce Forsyth was in short trousers but I couldn't resist the Star Wars setting for tuppence. I'm really enjoying it! Being part of mass teams of 20-a-side is hilarious and nobody has any patience so a little survey of the area helps loads. I have to admit I probably wouldn't enjoy it without the Star Wars dressing as the game play is very shallow. Running alongside an AT-AT in the snow as you storm the Hoth base is so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm really shit at Elite Dangerous. Like unbelievably awful at it. Trying to do the combat training mission right at the beginning and I can't even get the enemy in front of my ship. I'm just slowly spinning around trying to see where the baddy is so I can shoot him, but he's always behind me and I just can't seem to turn around quick enough to catch him. He's blown me up five times now. He must be proper pissing himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Put the brakes on, your shield will take the hit then just follow them, don't go at full pelt or you'll just circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Should I be going really slowly, or completely stopped? Either way, my shield goes down within a few seconds then I'm blown up while looking around for the other bugger. It wasn't this tricky on my very first attempt, but I've no idea what I did differently that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew the Giant Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 You doing the basic combat or the advanced? I gave up on doing the advanced one as it was too much of a pain in the arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yeah it's the advanced one. Giving it another try now while the dinner's cooking. I'm sure it shouldn't be this difficult... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Shit! Did it! Used a load of homing missiles then had to chase him a little bit to get a few more shots in. Having the speed in the little blue marker seemed to work perfectly for turning and aiming and shooting. Great stuff. I've got further than I did when I originally downloaded it now!

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 But then it sends two more after you. Fuck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew the Giant Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yep I can get through the first guy but then the other 2 always do me in. I play pretty much exploration based so never had to use the combat side of things luckily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Ah, I didn't bother with the advanced one as it was too hard! Â Just went straight into the game and not working out what I was doing for a month. Â Now? Â I'm one of the leading hauliers in a tri system area. Â Â "Need Data or cargo hauled with no slouchin'? Â The man for the job is Commander Houchen" Â However, like most intergalactic white ship men, no aliens welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew the Giant Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 If I remember there was only one MK game released for the 360 so that one I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there not been much combat in the actual game then? Or can you just not shoot stuff and nobody will hassle you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
