Does this game have random tire alignment? Like if I leave the left-stick neutral my cart drifts to the left or right, sometimes pretty drastically.

I honestly can't tell if it's a game feature or there's something wrong with my pro controller.

I was having the same problem with my brother when we were playing with the joycons. We had to disable gyro/tilt steering and the problem went away.

They added an auto-steer feature. I just turn it off because it overrides my inputs and annoys the shit outta me.

Also where did everyone go?

Didn't even think of that. Thanks.

But now I'll have no excuse for being a bottom percentile gaffer.

Nah I knew about that one. This was more like you have a permanent drift to one side the entire race. Probably how I was holding the controller without realizing it.

This game is some goddamn bullshit. I never get good items and I always get hit by like a billion items right after the other

Got this yesterday and played the whole evening with my girlfriend. We had an absolute blast. Such a fun game, although we both sucked royally in the online mode.

Is it possibly to dodge red shells with super sharp mushroom speed boost turns? Or is that just a double dash thing

I haven't experienced MK8DX online yet but honestly, MK8 on Wii U was always a really tough online experience. It was NOTHING like facing the CPU in traditional Grand Prix. Playing with GAF was something else.

At the prime of MK8's online activity, my brother and I would play and we'd be lucky to get in the top six of a twelve person race. It was a magical time, but also a harrowing one.

This is the essence of online Mario Kart. Brutal but always begging for more.

Yup. Both of us were almost crying when we came 11th and 12th, but after every race going "should we do one more? Hell yeah.." And we kept doing that for about 3 hours straight lol. Such a fun game. Also my girlfriend is in love with the Mooland (?) circuit. The cows are absolutely adorable.
