If it had online, would it be worthy of the "Mario Kart on PC" crown?

If it had online, would it be worthy of the "Mario Kart on PC" crown?
Party Racing Fun - Battle it out in single player, challenge your friends in 4 player split-screen
for the ultimate track racing showdown!
All Your Favorite Racers - Choose from 20 different characters from the Sonic & SEGA universe including Sonic, Tails, Aiai and Amigo.
High Velocity Vehicles - Every character drives their own unique vehicle including sports cars, bikes, planes and even a giant banana to perform bespoke special man-oeuvres!
All-Star Moves - Need to get by a competitor? Can’t overtake a racer? Then take them out with a pick-up weapon (missiles, mines and other obstacles) or one of the 20 unique character moves that allows the recipient to know who just hit them!
Stunning Visuals - Race over medieval castle ramparts, under lush rain forest canopies and through bustling city scapes as you battle through 27 challenging tracks from the Sonic and SEGA Universe.
I force 16XAF and MLAA. Looks good but not great.
I think it would.
Sumo Digital is now making a sequel for this game, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed. While they haven't confirmed it, it's been implied that the PC version of the sequel might support online multiplayer this time.

You want more shields?
Edit: It's quality posts like these that really help secure my spot at the top of that dumb list.
Thanks, dude. I looked through a couple titles and never saw a "Steam DRM" option but I will remember to keep an eye out for that.

It's a really solid kart racer. The fact that it doesn't have online play is tragic, but it's the only downside I can think of.

Pokémon Parentage Conspiracy Theorist
That's what I'm doing. It looks 10x as good thus I would pay 10x the amount.
thanks, can i use any gamepad or this is like blur that only supports 360 gamepads, I'll be buying the game anyways
Depends on your PC.
Uninstalled it a while ago but I don't remember any frame rate issues (6970/i7-920).
I only have a 360 pad so not sure.
When I think a little more about it, I already have Sonic Sega All Star Racing on the 360, so it makes sense for ME to wait it out. Or anybody that already has the game on any platform.
People that doesn't have it should get it, of course.
As someone who almost collapsed into the fetal position when I tried EU3, CK2 is definitely worth checking out. There is less micromanagement, the game has a solid tutorial, and the concept of taking over a family instead of a nation is much more personal and interesting. It's certainly worth $10.
Crusader Kings 2 is amazing. It's also by far the most accessible of the Paradox grand strategy games. Plus, download the Game of Thrones mod for the cool novelty (and likely the only good game to ever happen in that universe)
Also, don't forget Warlock is half off. I've only played the demo but it was a really neat little game. Can't go wrong for $10.

Solid is a little too far in my opinion. It's got one yeah, it's leagues better than eu3 or hoi, but I'd still call the tutorial barely competent at best. You'll still need a good let's play or something to be decent at it. But yeah CK2 is good if you think you'd be into it, not for everyone but if you think you'd like it you probably would.
My lowly GTX 460 can run it at 1080P/120hz without breaking a sweat.
Nah just download the free game of thrones mod. That's the only extension of CK2 you need.

Wait what, that's why y'all were talking about it so much! BOUGHT!
We need to meet up on Hamachi .. or just wait for the sequel with MP.

I'm not familiar with Crusader Kings II's gameplay and genre. What is it about and how do you go about it?

I seriously cannot handle a summer sale right now. My wallet and already bloated list of Steam games do not need this.
Its about making you dinasty as succesful as possible. When your character dies (of old age, assasination attempt, gonorrea...) you go on and control his heir. The game basically involves war, politics, diplomacy and treason in order to control more lands.
There is a nice Lets Play in SA: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3487258
Hmm sounds intriguing.

Okay, I think I'll bite.
Are the DLCs worth it?

My computer just went into the shop for the third time. I've been pouring money into it. A sale right now would destroy me.

Sounds great, I'll grab this as well as Sonic.

Cross-posted in the grid icons thread:
I bought EVE Online on Steam (for super cheap) a while back. In the detail view it lists it as Incarna, even though I bought it when the game was on the Crucible expansion. In the grid view the image that shows up is for the most recent expansion, Inferno.
Is there some way to rename it from Incarna to Inferno? Note that I haven't installed the game via Steam, so that may fix the problem, however the current inconsistency is really annoying. To further compound the problem, it shows a Crucible image when in list view (while still saying it's Incarna.)
This is made all the worse because Incarna has negative associations attached to it. I don't want to see that name anywhere!
If I can't fix this myself, is this just all fuckups on CCP's/Valve's end?

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing has split-screen? Nice.
I'm actually thinking about getting this.

The DLC's are really trivial. They're asking you to pay to unlock two more in-game songs or download a 'Mongolian faces' pack to make your custom ruler (making your custom ruler is also DLC) more Asian looking.
One way I know of is to add non-steam game, find it in your steam folder and add it again. It creates a shortcut in your steam game list and you can edit the icon, name and grid icon from there.
Now you run into the problem of having the same game listed twice on your list. What you can do is add all your games to your favorites except for incarna and then setting your view to favorites only. That's what I do for hiding uninstalled and beta games from my list.

Keep in mind that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will come out later this year with online-play confirmed.
A Summer Sale thread will be created and this thread will be locked. Once the Summer Sale is over this thread will be unlocked and continue as usual.
The game is only $3.74, he can chance it while waiting for the sequel.

Ofc, but I thought he might want to know
I think it makes it all the more compelling though. Better to find out you hate something at 3.74 than to pay 39.99 and then realize it.

The reason I consider buying is people complaining on the Steam forum about no sequel: it has to be an interesting game for people to complain about that, hasn't it? I will reconsider the question after your response.
Do not underestimate Gabe's power. A summer sale is a sale.

Crusader Kings II Complete GET! Although I honestly don't know how much time I'll invest in it given that Civ V: Gods & Kings comes out in nine days. The fact that it's less dense/obtuse than Europa Universalis gives me some hope.

Yeah, this is the way to go about it. This game is not Mario Kart, and it's best to find out now for only $3.75.

Ah so the DLCs are worthless then.
cheststrongwell
my cake, fuck off
It has finally happened. I bought a game I already own. Totally forgot I bought Warband last year from another site.
