Lets go back to the OLD days when we used to play games that we still play today. All of nintendo had 2 settings.. 1 HARD and 2 Cheating... those games were all epic and made me want to get good at them to win. old PC games like X-com UFO defense even on easy its so hard.. but i love it cause I WANT to get good and see what happens next.
Its so annoying with games today where I can sit there and play mindlessly smashing a button. As you say mario Kart does not take skill its strategy dont fly light years ahead of everyone.
No matter what you pick Rubber band or an AI that learns from your moves if the game does not challenge you then why play it. If I can change it to easy then maybe I should just go play a spongebob game.
This era is mass producing gamers and if you dont challenge them and give them something to hold over other gamers then its not impressive. Make an Epic game that challenges the players and gets hard and harder as you play through.. start the game on easyish and then get harder and harder until you really gotta be good.. cause after you put 20 hours into a game you will put 20 hours just trying to get to the next part.
