It literally is better than MKW, just straight up. It actually understands what people want from a kart racer.
I watched a youtube video of zackscottgames or whoever the fuck and it looked like mario kart from temu, so no.
>>721628367>what people want from a kart racerHaven't played either yet, so would you mind clarifying what that is?
>>721628367Too bad about the track design
>>721628367The demo was fun but not $80 fun. If the online is still active by the time the game gets a good sale, I'll probably pick it up then.
>>721628713>Haven't played either yet, so would you mind clarifying what that is?Fuck off Tendie
>>721628713Exclusively 3-lap courses, no bloated open world with nothing in it, selectable music tracks, unlockables not contingent on RNG, ample multiplayer options. Just for starters.
>>721628748As opposed to MKW's track design which is meant to emulate driving to work on the freeway.
>>721628367I'm a simple guy. I see censored Rouge, I don't buy.
>>721628367>It literally is better than MKWOnly on a casual level. MKW is way more fun once you actually get good and start pulling off shortcuts in races.
>>721629987>a casual leveli.e. the level most normal people will be playing at. If you have to start appealing with "well if you're autistic, this one's better" you have lost the battle.
>>721628367The game is much worse than Mario Kart, and they have the gall to tell you you're not getting all the content unless you pay extra. I bought the deluxe edition with the battle pass and there simply isn't enouch content, and what is there is of notably lower quality than MKW. They seem to think that customisation and sliders is what Kart Racers needed, rather than cool movement or fun course design. It is insane that people are even putting this and MKW in the same league. The only people who prefer this latest Sonic game are contrarian faggots and autistic IP-hungering neckbeards.
>>721631034>not enough contentThere is literally five times the amount of content that there is in MKW. Just for starters, the time trials and grand prixs actually give rewards.And no, an empty open world filled with stickers is not 'lots of content.'
>>721631034Tendies in full damage control mode.
>>721631384Liar. MKW has more cups, more modes, more to do. In addition to that, you not liking the open world content doesn't make it not exist. Sonic is the same price and a notably smaller game. Beyond that, the quality of Sonic is lightyears below MKW - I can't imagine what kind of an imbecile looked at the animation systems running Sonic and thought "yeah, we can release those on a console after the xbox 360". It's flat-out embarrassing, and shills like you should take a step back and look at why you're advocating for a product that uses canned, non-physical animations, and can't even run at a smooth 60 on a ps5 while looking like a ps3 game.
>>721631586>more cupsFalse.>more modesFalse.>more to doFalse.>notably smaller gameFalse.
>>721629987Once you get into high level MKW it's just sandbagging for items at the start of intermissions courses. Unless you're talking about having to join discord groups to find closed lobbies where you can have actual 3 lap races, then you're probably right that MKW is better but that's a lot of extra work just to play a game.A third party service that isn't even usable on the console shouldn't be a necessity to make a game fun.
can you grow crops like in Stardew valley?
>>721631750>literally lying to himself nowLMAO
>>721631750Sorry! Sorry you're right! I forgot the cups you can't access because they're not available at launch and you need to pay extra for! Sega bros we can't stop winning! Give sega your money for live service gaas slop yum yum!!!!! Make sure the quality is REALLY garbage too so they know they can get away with fucking us in the future too! I love SOOOOOONIIIIIIIIIC
>>721631586MKW has 7 cups. Crossworlds has 8, plus the DLC cups.MKW has three modes: time trial, grand prix, Knockout Tour. Crossworlds has grand prix, time trial, rival races, Race Park with six modes therein, online festivals, and full vehicle customisation (which MK8 had and which World inexplicably removed).Like, if you're going to be so sarky, at least get your facts straight.
>>7216321927 cups across how many modes? Oh that's right, two, because of the Open World gimmick, so... Fourteen, to Crossworlds' 8. So you're a liar. Also I don't even like the open world stuff, but fuck me Race Park is MUCH worse than any of that shit, and vehicle customisation is there specifically only for selling microtransacitons, so championing it is retarded and anticonsumer. Have a nice day SEGA BROOOO
Should I get this fucking slop
>>721632142You are ill. The game is not live service.Nice to know it's thoroughly fried your brain, however.
>>721632351Wait for it to be a tenner in two months, or free on gamepass when they realise it's the only way they can compete with roblox with a game that feels like f2p slop.
>>721632340>he thinks that the pseudo battle royale mode where you drive across the open world map counts as 'cups'Lol. Lmao, even.
>>721628367Why do people on /v/ make threads like they're the jealous of their boyfriends ex? If you really liked the game, you wouldn't have to be comparing yourself so much to something else.
>>721632428>battle pass>online "festivals">news feed>not all the content is available and must be purchasedYou're right, by moving the goalposts the game really isn't a live service. Thank you for reminding me that we can simply move the goalposts because Nintendo is bad and Sonic is good!!!!
>>721628367>two hours till releaseAny reason I shouldn't wait until its first 10% off? I don't get any off site cd stores access from my region and I don't care about the wereheg preorder.
>>721632567You should wait for it to be 100% off in six months on any gamepass etc service. This will happen because it's battle pass slop with phased content deployment.
>>721632495It's almost like any sort of "your game gay my game epic" threads are just pure dogshit made to farm replies and (you)s and the people that make them don't care about either game.
>>721628367I like World's gameplay more but the roster sucks, desu...
>>721632679World's roster is lacking, but I'm also in the camp that doesn't want a bunch of crossover characters in it. Crossworlds being filled with tons of Nickshit is the worst part about it to me.
>>721632567Depends how much you liked it. There is a free demo you can try
>>721632641Hopefully by 31st Oct so the Blue Star will still be valid.
1 more hour
>>721632909Seeing spongebob and minecraft in the game lets you know who the target audience is. Megaman can't redeem that roblox-tier sloppa
sry, but i am not paying 70 bucks for a cart racer.
>>721629987>MKW is way more fun once you actually get good and start pulling off shortcuts in races.These are fucking kart racers. While reward for skill and knowledge is welcome, they're generally supposed to be straightforward and streamlined experiences, which is part of my problem with Crossworlds having gadget and stat meta fuckery. MK World having the ability to do all these charge jumps, rail grinds and wall rides led to speedrun degeneracy where people will hop a track right at the start, skip entire bends, and exploit the physics to go flying at every possible corner they can get air off of, and to the niche folks that's cool and all, but to casual play that shit is turboaids. You either do it or you lose, and that's not fun for most people.
>>721628367It's definitely not a better game, and it will not get anywhere close to the sales of MKW.It's more accessible, and has some characters that will appeal to someone, but ultimately, it will live for 3-6 months at most after the initial hype dies down.It's interesting that SEGA actually bothered to have 5 or so retards spam these threads in general, and what will be more amusing is how fast these threads will disappear soon.
>>721633010Listen to this, anon. Ready for this? This will blow your mind.The target audience for Mario... is ALSO children. Even younger ones, in fact.
>>721633034This is correct, but I'd rather have fun movement than fucking football manager stat simulator horseshit you have to grind for 400 hours to complete.
>>721633054Typical smug tendie that acts as if their games are infallible and that the online for MKW isn't dying out already.Status quos are made to be challenged, retard.
>>721633120Mario is good. Spongebob and Minecraft are not. Is that... Is that difficult for you to understand, anon? That kids can have things which are good? It's not that the audience are kids, which you can discern from minecraft and spongebob - it's that the audience are retarded kids.
Sonic Racing Crossworlds has too few tracks.
>>721628367I didn't want denuvo in my kart racer, but it's still there.
>>721633034The metafaggotry in 8DX was pretty fucking bad from what I remember. Just tons of Waluigis on Wigglers.
>>721633504It's almost like any kart racer with stats and/or physics tricks to exploit is just anti-fun in public lobbies and only works best with friends. Which, unironically, also allows MKW to unshit itself thanks to proper track selection at the same time.
>>721629178>Exclusively 3-lap coursesWe’ve already seen the Sonic Drag Racing equivalent of intermission tracks, you disingenuous shill. It has tracks that are even more like straight lines than MKW.
>>721633504This is the problem with all kart racers. Giving them EVEN MORE sliders is just ultra retarded. MKW did a good thing and malding eightoids would rather play SOOOOONIC than admit they are pining for a system that was dogshit
>>721633504This is why I don’t mind stats having a very minor effect in crossworlds. There’s only a 1-3% between low speed builds or high speed builds here. It is a good thing for a character kart racer
>>721633120Mario's audience includes children but they actively avoid making the games too childish. Mario Galaxy's plot actually got redone because Miyamoto thought it was too childish at one point.Sonic's problem is that it embracing childishness and becoming only for children by adding Spongbob.
>>721629987>way more funAs in sandbagging for 90% of the lap and save your mushroom combo like the other 23 drivers until you're at the finish line so you don't get demolished and finish in last place because creating a gap between you and others with driving skills is impossible?
>>721633120Just because kids are your primary demographic doesn’t mean you have to turn your game into adspace for Nick.
I will get this when its $10 or less, the item spam is still shit and I hate that back 2 back is not in the game.
>>721633981if you play mkw like that the problem is you :)
>>721633010Yeah because kids of today love SpongeBob.
>>721631930Apparently the recent patch bumped up the 3-lap course frequency to about 50+%, so thankfully you don't have to go to Discord to play them anymore
>>721633225You see, Ranjeesh, unlike you, I have actually bought the game, while you and your brethren are paid shills that spam this board with these threads.But, unlike you, I do play videogames, and I recognize that MKW is a better game, that will remain unsurpassed.
>>721634125How about they give people the option?
>>7216283672k players in a week while you cope about MKW btw
>>721634123Are you retarded?
>>721628367Sonic really just handed out invites when he got invited to Smash Bros huh, sneaky little shit.
>>721633934>Mario's audience includes children but they actively avoid making the games too childish. Mario Galaxy's plot actually got redone because Miyamoto thought it was too childish at one point.And then they immediately turned around with Galaxy 2, made plot trivial, and double down on the picture book for literal babies for what little semblance of story you actually got. And Odyssey basically has nothing but family friendly antics and eccentric environments or citizens, one spooky dragon aside. Mario is general audiences, but it skews so heavily towards children, the only reason I would rank Kirby more mature than it is the nightmarish endgames those titles have on the maturity scale.Sonic is just schizophrenic and can't decide if they want to appeal to kindergartners, teens with shonen bullshit, or edgy 30 year olds.
>>721634220He just doesn't have or know any kids and assumes kids have to like new stuff exclusively and can never consume old media.
>>721628367Game will be $20 in a year.I can wait.
>>721628367>better than MKWNo, Mario Kart is amazing
>>721634252Sonic only appeals to one demographic, and we all know who they are
>>721634125Things are improving at least, hopefully they have a way to 100% play 3 lap courses again in a future update(dlc pack?)
>>721634483You don't have to self-flag. If autists are the demographic, you're in the ballpark just for being here.
>>721629178>Exclusively 3-lap coursesWait, the option to have 5 lap races is still gone? jesus christ
>>721634428
>>721634220Idk is there a new SpongeBob cartoon? When I was a kid I knew about the old stuff but I wasn't super into it. I was into the new shit.
>>721634924Look at the market sector analytics. It is in high demand. You not knowing how this stuff works doesn't mean your experience of "not being super into the old stuff" isn't a good indicator of market trend.
I wish online races had the option to queue for super sonic speed, the speed that multiplayer races are at currently is too slow for me and I get bored of doing singleplayer races after a while
>>721634125>it only sucks ass 50% of the time
>>721635594Which is 50% less than Sooooonic Cuckworlds sucks.
>>721628367Sonic will never beat MK
>>721628367I saw they had Miku in it.Simple as really.
>>721636074>I clicked buy because I saw a gooner vtuberWorst kind of scum, you should be down the mines, not playing vidya
I prefer crossworlds because it gives a good feeling of speed while playing, MKW feels sooo slow even when using boost items
>>721628367I like it. It just feels cheap for a 70 or 90 dollar game though
>>721636157That's jokingly the second reason I bought it, the main reason is because there are actually fuck all decent kart racers on PC and I've been itching to play one since I saw CTR get its remaster. The only other decent option I know of is The Karters 2 but that's EAalso calling Miku a "gooner vtuber" just exposes you as a tourist /pol/fag from twitter, you know that right?
>>721636216>I'm shit at MKW so it's badlol, lmao
>>721636157>gooner vtuber>Hatsune Mikukill yourself
>>721636386Nta, but calling anyone who disagree's with you a "pol tourist" is worse 'and sad behavior. More so since he just called you a "gooner.
>>721636394Idk how to explain it, you can finish tracks faster by doing shortcuts and stuff but i dont actually feel like im going fast. If i have to be a sweaty faggot like you to enjoy mariokart then it doesnt sound like the game for me
>>721628367It's the same shit as Transformed. Why weren't people this vocal over that game? It has almost the same characters. What the fuck changed?
>>721636386Miku is a gooner vtuber and always has been. Idol shit is pathetic and you need to grow up.
>>721628367I just played the demo and seemed plenty fun. But, the deluxe edition is too costly. Ahhh I want to get it though.
What build is everyone enjoying? I've started using acceleration with a speed kart
>>721628367?
>>721636959/v/ loved transformed, idk why normies never picked it up other than muh nintendo always better
>>721633981>because creating a gap between you and others with driving skills is impossible?For you, maybe. Also, how can 20 people "sandbag"? You can't have 20 people in last, you fucking retard.
>>721637580please delete this, thank you
>>721638013Yes, yes. Here's your (You).
>>721636959This is largely anti-Nintendo shitposting, not genuine appreciation for the game. Notice how EVERY thread has to attack MKW to gain any traction. Same as Yokai Watch, Palworld, and Digimon threads thriving on pokemon bashing over their own discussion.
721638140>no argumentTypical. No (You) for you. Try harder.
>>721637580Pretty much all the cross worlds are just a giant straight line with a bit of curves. Most of the actual track also have long ass straight lines where you just wait for the cross world to kick in.I think most of the praise is coming from tendies that are mad at MKW.Hell no one is complaining about the lack of campaign when it was a staple of the IP for 15 years
>>721634063Just play the demo nowIt's tons of fun with 8 levels of CPU that will keep you busy for a while
>>721638792Fuck off back to black rock, shill
>>721638469considering how shit the campaign was in TSR I don't really mind the lack of one, it'll take you a solid 30 hours to 100% the singleplayer anyway
Why was Sonic Dream Team a bad game and this one isn't?
>>721639365I don't play phone games and neither should you
>>721639365I mean Team Sonic Racing, the one that came out in 2019.
>>721639239There are things to 100% in this game? Isn't it just plain racing with no objectives or rewards?
>>721639615You get special rewards for completing all the grand prix in SP on Sonic speed and Super Sonic Speed, you also unlock Super Sonic by beating all your rivals, by beating time trials with an A rank you unlock OST that you can use on the jukebox feature to change the music of the tracks you play and on the racing park you unlock car parts and some cosmetics as well.
can you play race party online?
>>721637580The crucial distinction here is that all the CrossWorlds are unique and full of special obstacles (there's even a random Frenzy mode to mix things up) and visually distinct from one another. Also they are a single lap out of the traditional 3-lap courses you are otherwise doing.This is a direct contrast to the boring open roads that so characterize the intermissions in MKW. The problem was never just 'it's a straight line', it's 'it's a straight line with fuckall going on.'TL;DR farcical comparison that exposes you as an assblasted MKW fag.
>>721639615There are rewards for:>Grand Prix>Race Park>time trials>Chao challenges>giving characters friendship tickets>online playAnyone saying it doesn't have as much content as MKW, which couldn't even be arsed rewarding you for time trials or mirror mode, is a lunatic.
>>721629178Why did people keep picking Baby Park on MK8 then?
>>721639931>Also they are a single lap out of the traditional 3-lap courses you are otherwise doingwait so they're actually forced on people. holy shit what is sega doing?
>>721640215don't worry, they'll patch it out later
>>721639365I know you mean TSR but Dream Team's actually pretty decent for a phone title. It's not a temple runner like you think it would be, you can run around freely and homing spin like an Adventure game
>>721640215SEGA being SEGA.
>>721628367i saw that the game is basically $90 and theres characters locked behind a preorder bonus. and it feels like a mobile game like all stars racing transformed. maybe i'll buy it for $20 in a few years since i liked all stars racing, but definitely not full price
>>721639931>"they're straight lines but totally different guise"This level of cope
>>721640215If you refuse to see or acknowledge the differences you are being purposely obtuse.
>>721640052Mirror Mode itself was a reward for doing the Grand Prix and stuff in Free Roam
>>721640630But you get nothing for completing it is my point.
>>721640379CrossWorlds wishes it was Transformed.
>>721640791Crossworlds is better than transformed.
>>721640313It was a Freudian slip. I know Dream Team is pretty great.
>>721629178>>721629315>>721631524Uhuh. Many such maps btw>>721632428It is absolutely live service. It has multiple battle passes (paid btw), and is full of fomo, with the miku stuff only being available for ONE WEEKEND
>>721640892>no risk boostNha
>>721641453where is the battle pass?
>>721641453Do you know what a battle pass is?
>>721641641>>721641648It's that thing you pay for, and then you also have to complete chores to level up and actually get the things you pay for Cope n rope sonicsharts
>>721628367sonic is so gay thoughSomehow gayer than mario
>>721641729There is literally zero paid battle pass in the game. Stop lying.
>>721641729Well good thing that doesnt exist in crossworlds. You get the characters and map when they release.
>>721641729I don't think this game has a battle pass
>>721641453This post destroyed the samefagging macaco and sonictards>>721641929>>721641956>>721641969False.There is a free and paid BP.The free one only has the character and a vehicle.The paid one has maps, music, emotes etc
>>721642645I don't think that's right
>>721635594The worst track in Mario Kart World is better than Sonic Racing's best track. Better music too.
>>721628367How good is it compared to Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed?
Let this thread stand as the ultimate proof that when threatened, the tendie will start making up lies to downplay the competition, something they are constantly accusing others of doing.Not nice to be on the losing team for a change, is it, assholes?
>>721628367>It literally is better than MKWNo.You just don't own a Switch 2.Enjoy your shit-tier Mario Kart Knockoff lmao
>>721642645You are, categorically, incorrect.The only paid battlepass in this game is in your head.
>>721642894Nintendo are winning though kiddo. They've been winning for years.And continue to win.Ya just seethin. XDD
>>721642913I own both games and greatly prefer Crossworlds. MKW was a massive disappointment, and this is coming from someone with a decade's worth of time spent in MK8. Get fucked.
>>721642989if you think about it, you have to pay for the game and then unlock content by playingkind of fucked up
>>721640892Nah, it is fun though
>>721643006>THE MULTIBILLION CORPORATION IS A GOOD THING
>>721642804It's a different game by a different studio with entirely different controls.It's nothing amazing and no one would give a shit about if it wasn't of Mario Kart World but you can try the demo and see for yourself.
>>721628367>removed risk in air tricksThe ONE thing that adds pace dynamic to the game by someone fucking up their landing—they remove. Crossworlds is just off besting SASRT because of this. Also the item-hoarding until the last lap is fucking aids
>>721641453Shut up cultist and buy your Pokeslop with day 1 DLC
Can any tendies satisfy my curiosity, what's with the aggressive smear campaign against Crossworlds? I'll be fucked if I'm going near any tendie fan communities, but it seems very targeted and organised.
>>721629178>no bloated open worldNo singleplayer or alternate modes at all, and you praise it lmaoAnd selectable music is just a bandaid on a shit soundtrack
>>721640052>carrots on a stick is contentlmao
>>721643583>no singleplayerJust like MKW!
you will never be a woman
>>721643547Tendies genuinely, unironically embrace the MSNBC slop narrative of "premium brand" attributed with Nintendo, while looking away from the "lateral thinking" while still shelling out 500 USD and tax (plus tip) for dogshit hardware and dogshit GaaS.
I don't think it's that bad for a kart racer to have a day one season pass, but if Mario Kart had one, you just know people would flip their lid and treat it like it's the most evil thing a game could ever do.
>>721643583>no alternate modes at allOh yeah, apart from the seven alternate modes in Race Park alone.There's being an asshole, and then there's making shit up.
>>721643989>missions in the openworld don’t count cause I said so!Yes they do, cope on your lack of content, just as you ignored the lack of alternate modes
>less singleplayer modes than Mario KartKWAB
I loke the game, but the single player content is lacking. Even the last game had that mission story mode thing. Transformed had the great world tour mode that makea both mkw and crossworld look bad as well
>>721644321most of those modes are shit like>you play in uhh teams (something that's in custom rules in Mario Kart)>items have a higher chance to uhhh be better (something that's in custom rules in Mario Kart)none of them are fundamentally different like Knockout Tours, Free Roam or Battle mode is.
all the hype in the world couldn't save it. it still bombed.
>>721644321sorry, adding some stupid side objective to a regular race does not count as meaningful alternate modes. Pretending those modifiers are worth a damn at all is just sad
>>721644328You do know the overwhelming majority response to the open world was that it was empty and rubbish, right? The vast, vast majority of players have barely fucking touched it.
>>721644605I bought it and even I expected it a little more. If it doesn't do at least 20k then that's rough
>>721644321>Game mode where Sonic arms are blue>Game mode ripped from a bad game that everyone hate>Game mode ripped from Mario KartOh yea so much content I'm drowning in it
>>721641814See >>721641453 those straight lines are very straight though
>this gets 9>gives 8 on MK WorldOh no no no Nintendies not like this
who is playing these tards to get this booty blasted over a party racermotherfucker, you can play it on the same Tablet of Worship that MKW is on
>>721628367>It actually understands what people want from a kart racer.Not me. I prefer to play a racing game where the outcome of the last lap isn't determined by last-second RNG bullshit.Ring Racers 2.4 >>>> All Else
>>721644792Don’t give a shit what retards think, mission mode was fun on DS, it is now
>>721644605>bomb????????I just checked, there are almost 10,000 people on Steam alone, and it's been out on that platform for less than 2 hours and represents a minority of the playerbase, most of which will be on Switch.
>>721644872>>721642913
>>721628460>mario kart from temuperfect description of this game
>>721645009SHHHHHH, we can't have nuance here!
>>721645009I agree, I said the thing. This doesn't fare well for the rest of the other 70$ price versions. Many people said they liked it, but not the price.
>>721645009>I just checked, there are almost 10,000 people on Steam alone, and it's been out on that platform for less than 2 hours and represents a minority of the playerbase, most of which will be on Switch.That includes people who bought the Digital Deluxe and had been playing it early anon.
>>721644605With those numbers it'll be lucky to have sold 500k first week lmao
>>721628367Why would Sonic need a car?
>>721628713ones a kart racer the other is either frame perfect tonyhawk grinding chains or driving in straight lines
>>721645513Depends on who you ask. Before it used to be he liked cars and such. Now "he's just a nice guy who wants to play fair"
>>721644609If I wanted to play a Kart Battler, I'd play a fucking Kart Battler. I paid for a racing game, for fucks sake you guys are retarded.
It absolutely mogs MKW. Better, more compelling single player with rewards you actually want like cars, music, gadgets etc. And the online never gets old cause of the crossworld system and experiments with gadget layouts. I already have 40 hours in it compared to the 24 I had in MKW before selling that shit
>>721645667You're in the wrong for being in the wrong.
>>721645707No, transformed and even team sonic racing had better single player. I like the game but its an online racer first and foremost
>>721645667Sucks it doesn’t have a fun alternate racing mode either than lol
>>721631586>doesnt even bring up the one thing mkw has over crossworlds
>>721645153You mean how everything from temu absolutely mogs everyone else in quality somehow, and how china is a rising world power that has a longer life expectency and quality of life than any other western country now?Yeah, it does fit, when I think about it!
>>721644321Those modes are pure garbage its literally just standard races with some crappy counter stapled onto them instead of distinct game modes.
>>721645707>it never gets old because even a good track can have a shitty middle lap thrown in to ruin it a bitHow exciting. Gadgets are fun if you want build autism in your kart racer, I guess
>>721644605$90 xir. Genius economists over at SEGA to put this tag on a combat racer. Lmao
>>721646053personally I wish they were playable online, 6v6 team matches where bumping into teammates for a boost sounds really fun
>>721645940We got Miku sir.
>>721646114yeah meanwhile people bought mario kart world in droves at $80
>>721646053I played TSR a lot last week and really enjoy the Team races in CW too
>10k players on steam on a thursday morningYeah, this sold tons. The ONT got like 20k and that was FREE. Just imagine how many copies are selling on the switch.
>>721629178>ample multiplayer options????It has less than Mario Kart World what are you smoking?
>>721646468>tendies>people
What's up with the weird Transformed glazing? no one played that game in over 10 years and I'm supposed to believe that's the best kart racing game ever? yeah no go fuck yourself.
>>721632192>MKW has 7 cups. Crossworlds has 8, plus the DLC cupsMKW has 8 GP cups anon. The special cup has to be unlocked.It also has 4 tracks per cup and Sonic has a skimpy 3 because their 4th is just the first three tracks lazily stitched together.
>>721645940>peach recolor #2wooow.
>>7216283674/10 too much item spam
>>721646663It's stuck on a dead console that nobody bought
>>721646770>multiplat game>stuck on a dead console?????
>>721644605It's on the way up.
You get punished for physical purchases.
>>721647353based digitalGODS win again
I'll just wait for it to be cracked and for you raped faggots to scream hell and back because you were so castrated so throw aside $90 for a kart racing game.
There are too few stages and we are not getting anymore from SEGA.
>>721647686why even play this if you're not going to play online?
>>721636253Maybe it's me anti Sega biased, but I thought it looked visually capable, polished, and the music blew out Mario Kart World. all that while I'm being biased for Nintendo.
>>721647793Multiplayer for kart-racers is a joke. Everyone knows this. It's just ragebait.
>>721647353what? how come it's not $20? why?
>>721646674And with MKW’s cups you gotta redo certain tracks in cups because of the stupid forced intermissions. You gotta do crown city twice in different cups and peach stadium 3 times. The exact same course, just from a different direction
>>721647827>Music blew out Mario Kart Worldhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=4FnvSxCZy7gPlease stab your eardrums with a pencil, you don’t deserve them
>>721647980nta but the alt layouts are genuinely pretty different, it's just that they're not as good as the base versions (Peach Stadium's alt is hands down the worst track in World). Also you only go to Peach Stadium twice-if you went three times the game would have 29 tracks.
>>721647827> and the music blew out Mario Kart WorldIf we’re only counting the track themes, maybe, but even then.
>>721648261MKW has the better OST but Crossworlds actually lets you use a fucking jukebox option.
>>721628367The panic is real.LMFAOO I love being a tendie.
>>721649272most of mkws good songs are locked to the shitty modes. the normal track music kinda sucks
>>721649480it is always funny whenever the new "nintendo killer" gets announced, released, then is forgotten in a week. it's a very consistent cyclesonic characters weren't meant to ride in cars
>>721649738I played the demo. It's a terrible Mario Kart clone. Crash Team Racing is better, and that's also a terrible Mario Kart clone.
>>721646663>glaceSpeak english zoomie. Its a good game and you can still play it on pc
>>721649887ESL ALERTESL ALERTgo back to your sweatshop so you can earn more money to buy current year games slave
>>721650017Sure buddy.
>>721649480I think you'll find the panic is courtesy of MKWfags this time. Hence the co-ordinated and targeted smear campaign.
>>721650409The cope is real
>>721636074how's fortnite anon?
Mario lost
>>721649738sonic has already had better kart racers. there is no nintendo killer unless some guy shoots one of there ceos or something
>>721649637Post one that sucks, I’m curious
Both games are shit
>>721651214you can pick pretty much any.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf5pwMEdAs8first link I found.
>>721651618this sucks to you? really?
The musical transitions between portals are pure orgasms.
>>721651791not him but this sounds pretty bland compared to any songs in mk8. like it sounds generic which is surprising even for a mario kart game
>>721651791One hallmark of a tendie is smugly insinuating people must be idiots if they don't like their games.
>>721651791its just sounds like noise. the best songs in the game are throwbacks
they're both great and do enough differently from each other to coexist. i'm also excited for air riders. this board fucking sucks.
>>721651618Yeah, that sounds good. It’s crazy to see you try to pass that off as bad when most of the crossworld tracks are horrible renditions of old songshttps://youtube.com/watch?v=qmYWkNWFXqo&pp=0gcJCRsBo7VqN5tD
>>721652004Yes, another generic guitar and harmonica track. So common these days
>>721652474id take this over the mario song, but its not really fair since this is also a throwback. sonic also gives the option to change music so even if you dont like it you can change it
>>721650409>I think you'll find the panic is courtesy of MKWfags this time. Hence the co-ordinated and targeted smear campaignThere doesnt need to be a coordinated smear campaign against Sonic games. SEGA and Sonic Team make Sonic look worse than any Nintendo fan could.
>>721633753>It has tracks that are even more like straight lines than MKWLOL noYou know the regular maps are also apart of the 2nd lap tracks right?
Plane and boat mode feel like shit in world. They’re fun in crossworld
>>721646663>glazing this is an 18+ siteanyway, Transformed was great and was played a ton during its day. I still play it a lot from time to time. It's not the greatest kart racer ever made, but it's definitely the best Sonic one and way better than Crossworlds. Of course, you wouldn't know any of this since you weren't born when it came out
>>721632142>using DLC as some kind of silver bullet in a pro-Nintendo, 2025 world.I'm not in favor of the FOMO stuff, but DLC in a game like this is completely normal now, look at Mario Kart 8 Delux.
>>721653002>I’d take this over the Mario songHorrendous taste man. The electronic choir style vocals are awful. And it’s a completely apt comparison, this is a track song. Happy for you that you can turn that shit off though, even if it homogenizes the tracks. Does it let you set the song per track or something?
>>721628367It's a solid 6/10 game.Given MKW is like a 4/10, this is a pretty solid sweep
>>721653513>spam jump(drift taken from you) or spam air driftno, they’re mindless shit, anon
How's it running on Switch 2
>>721646663it was the best normal kart racer yes. i think I like CTR nf more but online is dead now and the load times were terrible. i havent played them but sonic kart racing fan games are also considered really good. Besides the fan games(that might be better) the other 2 are absolutely better than any Mario Kart.
>>721642767Ok sweetie. You'll find out soon enough.
>>721628367DELETE THIS>>721628460>>721645153>>721644605>>721643006>>721642913Good work, soldiers. They'll regret this.
>>721642894Simmer down macaco. You already got raped n gaped. Perhaps you want to be humiliated again?

>>721646468$500, with optional $20 tip
why blaze got that hot mommy hentai voiceit really gets me fired up
>>721628367Ai slop
>>721654664this, slop doesnt even come close to mkworld
worldsisters, they're turning on us...get it, because intermissions
Considering that Mario Kart is even rolling around in the mud with a fucking sonic game in the first place is embarrassing enough, lmao
>>721654664Many are saying this about MKW.
>70 dollars
>>721654462Impossible that game is locked 60
How does the jukebox work? Does it select random tracks from the albums for the respective lap? can it be used to get rid of the annoying lap 3 songs? do get a better menu theme?
The only good thing about this slop is megaman
>>721654990Crossworlds runs at Super Duper 60.
>>721628367>better than MKWHAHAHAHAHA
>>721654805that isn’t happening
They never post the World player numbers... I guess 0 doesn't look good.
>>721655126Sub 300 in 2 weeks
why the fuck is Creepy nuts in the jukebox
Im having fun
>>721655184I keep getting empty rooms in World unironically
>>721655126I'm waiting for the steam sale like everyone else
>>721655486you're waiting 4 days for the same amount?
>>721655528no, im waiting for the game to be on a steam sale with a 30% discount, maybe 40%
>>721655701you didn't boughted when it was 25% off?
>>721655382Based fun haver
>>721655126Haha, so true king! Now let's see those MKW numbers. You have them, right? The numbers?
>people are using dlc unlockers to get FUTURE dlc according to cee ess rin ruNow that explains a lot, good job, Sega,
>>721655382You think you are, but you aren't
>>721655382Stop
yeah they really toughened up the ai in the full game. I think I'll stick to level 5/6 for the time being
>>721655845what? how?
I still don't get why people care about what character they play as in a kart racing game. The vehicle is way more important.
>>721628367I've played both but so far I prefer MKW just purely on how it controls. SRCW just feels like your slipping in every corner.
>>721655382Traitorous pig.
>>721656092found the guy who doesn't apply the brake
>>721628367I like Crossworlds... but I LOVE MKW. But I'm glad people are enjoying themselves.
>>721655840https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/index.html
>>721629987I don't think it's better on a casual level. Tried playing Crossworlds with a few people who aren't huge gamers apart from couch multiplayer stuff and they just ended up wanting to play Mario Kart instead.
>>721656293Delete this
>>721656175>but I LOVE MKWis turning too difficult for you?
>>721656293please don't post that again
>>721628367You never played Mario
>>721656293These are units sold, not online player count.
>>721656175based all games enjoyer
>>721656293And how many of them are playing it right now, I wonder?
MKW metacritic: 86 (with tendie buff)Crossworlds metacritic: 83 (with tendies review bombing it)Yeah, crossworlds won.
>>721655115oh wow
Stop shitposting and lets play together
>>721628367It's basically MK8 but with AI generated graphics. The crossworld gimmick seems fun though, but there is definitely a meta for which gadgets to use. Also the tracks are too simple and generic.
Dead game, abort quick
>>721656816Many are saying this about MKW.
Mario Kart looks fun but I'm sorry I am not paying $600 + tip for it.I am sorry...
>STILL voicing Eggman despite shitlibs throwing a fit and demanding he be recastHow is he so immune to cancelling, bros?
>>721636959>Why weren't people this vocal over that game?People loved Transformed, I put dozens and dozens of hours in, and /v/ actually help regular online games for the title back in 2012.
>>721644605>thursday>steam player count when its on all platforms >still sharts on Discord Kart World no contestWill be a delight to continue essentially teabaging you tendies with every crossworlds thread. Also our weekend thread will run laps around your rotting corpse of a weekend thread.
>>721646069>it never gets interesting when we have to "race" on a straight line highway for 2/3 lapsKeep defending your goytendo overlords in crossworld threads I guess?
UHHHHHH MARIOSISTERS, THERE'S NO WAY THIS IMAGE IS REAL RIGHT!? IT HAS TO BE EDITED! IT HAS TO BE!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!??!?
Damn, the tendies are seething.>>721657012I'm personally hyped to see all the free updates coming up, since they're all a mystery. Not to mention all of the maps being added to the game over time. It's going to keep shit alive for a good while. I'm hoping we can get some new Sonic maps though, the crossovers are cool looking but there's some shit from the games I'd love to see here. If I remember Movie Sonic and Shadow were datamined or something right? We might get a stage based on the level from Shadow Generations at least.
>>721657150if nintendo games had live playercounts half this board would rope from shock at how dead most of them actually are
>>721657275It would legitimately be hype to get content packs from different eras of sonic, and get their weird goobers.I want Sticks
>>721657147>noooo, you can’t acknowledge my bad core mechanic!!! I must divert attention cause I can’t defend itWhy are you so sensitive?
>>721628367SUE THIS GAME NINTENDO, YOU HAVE TO, PULL THE PLUG, THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH STEALING YOUR IDEAS
>>721657356Yes, that is the irony of it all. The fact retards here are unironically arguing about "playercount" on just one platform when Crossworlds is multiplat and arguing about it in general is quite literally low IQ of them and frankly I think they should die. Both games seem fine, but it does seem like the Nintendofags threw the first stone and seem genuinely upset.
>>721657393I'd love it if we saw some more zany shit like:>AoStH>Underground>SatAM>Sonic XIt'd also be cool to see a pack for Sonic and the Black Knight that comes with skins, a new vehicle (An Extreme Gear Caliburn/Excalibur?), map and maybe King Arthur or something.
Historical steam data:>shadow generations peak7.8k>frontiers peak19k>crossworlds current numbers12k and we haven't seen weekend numbers yetextrapolate the sales from that. This makes it close to the second best selling modern sonic title, and it's a side game.
>>721628367Has there been any notable changes since the last network test? I didn't buy it because it felt too shallow and I didn't feel confident it would have legs beyond just stuffing it with content. Not having audio for the DLC characters is still a weird choice.
>>721657393Same. As much as everyone hates santiago I'd be happy to have him in if he came with the rest of the classic characters and songs from the original 2d games
>>721657608>Sonic and the Black Knightmy brother
>>721657150
>>721657775Aw man, Excalibur Sonic would be SICK. But only if we also get knight costumes for the other characters that were in the game.
>>721657775Based King.
>>721657563Nintendo fans were smug until it started encroaching on their territory, then they went into full smear campaign mode and when Sonicfags responded in kind it became 'LOL WHY U MAD SONIC BROS'
>>721640152Because it's a fucking meme and Mario Kart is enjoyed by casuals?
is the character or vehicle more important?
How much of the game experience am i missing by not playing online?
>>721652474this sounds like shit like most of the final lap songs.
>>721657871It'd add some much needed diversity.>Excalibur for Sonic>Lancelot for Shadow>Gawain for Knuckles>Percival for Blaze>Galahad for Silver>Lamorak for Jet>Lady of the Lake for Amy>Blacksmith for Tails
>>721657894Even regardless of Sonic getting a victory over Mario for once, you'd have to be stupid to pretend like Nintendo isn't making a long list of bad decisions lately that's slowly starting to have people turn on them.
I bought the standard edition and yet this happened.Will i get in trouble? No idea what is happening.
>>721658027Honestly if we had just Caliburn as playable I'd mark the fuck out and would unironically be fine with it.
>>721658054It's the nu-fans who hopped on the nintendo train after the switch, who shit all over nintendo's legacy, that really piss me off. They defend the worst business decisions by nintendo and don't respect what made nintendo so great in the first place.
>>721658130Like Caliburn as Extreme Gear or Caliburn being a driver? Either would be fine by me but the latter would be funny as hell.
>>721658138To be fair, I don't think even Nintendo respects what made them great in the first place.
>>721657964Not muchBesides maybe seeing people do weird shortcuts or studying gadget builds, it's playable, for sure, but, it's nothing special.
>>721658067Did you pre order the standard edition?
>>721658251The company died when Iwata died. The new head is some soulless penny pincher and you can tell with the direction the company went.
>>721658251I don't think Nintendo even KNOWS what made them successful.
what if Hatsune Miku was deleted from the game and SEGA didnt tell us why
>>721658309I bought the game literally the day it was available for purchase like three months ago? No idea that counted as pre order. I was under the impression i had to buy the digital deluxe one to get it.
>>721658310Iirc the new head is from Gamefreak or TPC, one of the pokemon branches. So that's your guiding light for the company.
>>721658209As a driver, yeah. If they really went all out and had characters like that in the game, with rival interactions, it would probably shoot up to be genuinely my favorite Sonic game ever.
>>721657964There are some gadgets you get by playing online I believe? But beyond that I don't think there's much special about online players. Level 10 rivals are probably going to be more difficult than the vast majority of the playerbase. The one thing your average player has is that they can customise their gadget builds and shake shit up a little for you with their different playstyles.
>High level kart racer
I have a nice stew in the slow cooker and it's almost ready. I might try a front runner build today with the first lap invuln gadget
>>721658426Yeah, I think werehog is a pre order bonus regardless of the edition, but the sonic prime characters are digital deluxe only
>>721653897In world you were punished for going boat or plane mode in the first place. The boat had horrible physics where waves would throw you off trajectory, the plane controlled like a plane but it wasn’t fast at all. They made two mechanics so bad that you have to seek out ways to avoid them and it sucks, it’s the worst type of design when they could’ve just made the game better by either ditching them entirely or actually making them good.
Great game
>>721637580WTFhow mane "straight line" tracks are there?
>>721658815>waves throw you off trajectoryThey’re free trick boosts, are you incapable is simple counter steering? And the plane is useful for flying over offroad sections and the item chaos. I’m shocked you’re this dense
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YasSe30i6R0It's up.
The single player is shit compared to Transformed is my main problem with it.
>>721659093The plane is slow as fuck and you were rewarded for participating in item chaos instead of avoiding items entirely. The boat mode was a worse underwater mode because underwater mode controlled like normal and normal is better than boat.
>>721659154>cybershillno thanks
>no 150.000 Steam players at launchI guess Nintendo always wins...
>>721659241You get items whenever you go off almost any glide ramp, avoid items on the ground, and are able to fly over offroad. You’re able to go fast on water if you’re not shit. You’re simply stupid anon, sorry.
I'm using the standard hover board build.Drift Charge KitAir Trick ExpertAir Trick BountyI can keep up with the fastest throughout the race but at the last stretch, when everyones panicking and shitting out items, is when im slaughtered by items.Is my best bet to just play defensively moreso than offensively?
you guys change the controls at all? because holding X got kinda painful as well as awkward to break with O - so i changed to trigger driving but it's still sort of awkward drift on R1 brake on R2, though much better. maybe i should put drift on O or something.
>>721659450You have Stockholm Syndrome because you spent $500 on a shitty system lol
>>721659519try to save a speed item for the final stretch to cut to the end. if you dont have one you unironicly will place 4th -8th every time because of the doods behind you who do. trading air tricks for level 4 boost and learning how to do them consistantly could also help. I find people dont target me as much when im shielded.
>>721659898r1 is gas, r2 is drift, o is break and l1 l2 are gadget and item.
>>721656554>And how many of them are playing it right now, I wonder10million
>>721660105However you need to cope about not understanding simple mechanics
>>721660105dont forget another 80 for the game lmfao
>am 4th place>Game doesnt give me a boost item to get through the MANDATORY shortcut at the end of Kronos Island even when I hit two item boxes>12th place as everyone else gets their boosts
>>721643514Crosswords also has day 1 dlc
>>721661736Indeed. That is absolutely comparable to locking potentially meta changing Mega Evolutions behind an additional paywall.
>>721657775Neat how much is it to buy?
>>721656293dragonball sparking zero did better than this lol
>>721662073It is because it's still day one dlc
>>721662303Please don't-ah bring up-ah my Master Son Goku-ah-sama-ah...he is the father-ah of my BVLL-ah Sonic-ah-sama-ah
>>721662485G-GOKU-SAMA... I beg you NOT to JAM your THROBBING COCK into my FACE and DAB on my CORPSE! I-i'll put you in my kart racer NEXT time instead of A fucking COW or ELSE i'll REALLY be SCREWED! MAMMA MIA MOOOOOOOOOO
>>721662960Eugh, no thank you! I'm already scheduled to show up in Sonic's comics and Crossworlds by late 2026!
>>721658882
>>721663156really though why wasn't this done yet
>>721663493I've got it on good authority that DB is going to finally get some big things in 2026. If there was ever a crossover with Sonic it'd be within the next 2 years.
>>721656293I know those MK8DX numbers are fuckoff massive, but the base game numbers for the Wii U are wild in their own way. 8.4 million copies sold on a console that only moved 13.4 million units is a 62% attach rate. Even 8DX is only at a 44%.It makes 7's numbers all the stranger. that one only got about a 25% attach rate. It was still the best selling title for the system, and even though I didn't particularly care for it, I wonder why it was so low.
>>721645993Lmao. Pipe down chink.
>>721662135it's a mod
Man, people really don't fuck with Amy. Despite being a main character, I almost never see her.
>>721665131Ian Flynn ruined her.
>>721664153Most of the people who got a Wii U got it for pretty specific games. There was relatively little casual appeal for the sorts of mass appeal games that usually sell well. This is also why so much long term resentment for the console exists. All those games just got switch ports anyways
>>721665131>main characteris she?
>>721628367I played the demo and it was trash.
>>721665228She's one of the main four who has been in since the Genesis days, yes.
>straight upLGBTQIA2S+ xisters...
>>721632030kinda yea
>>721628367I fell for these hype threads and bought the game for megaman and instantly regret not waiting for a deep sale...
>>721665198I regret ever finding her annoying. I would prefer the obsessive girl who trained super speed to keep up with her crush and ran around the world just to hit him for forgetting their date to whatever they're trying to do with her now.
>>721665220As a Wii U owner, that's also why I ended up never getting a Switch. So many of the game offerings in the series I love were just Wii U ports that I'd already played. For the few actual new ones like Mario Odyssey, I just played it on my roommate's switch.
>>721665646You didn't play the demo or play test before buying the game?
>>721662073What meta? The champions meta? You cant transfer items into home. The ZA meta? For an entirely new battle system where a meta hasnt even had the chance to be established? Please stay in school, you need the education.
>>721665882I missed the test and didnt see the demo until it was too late to cancel my preorder.
>>721665941>an entirely new battle systemGot any other jokes?
>>721666035Please show me the other pokemon games that have ZA's battle system, brainlet-kun.
>2nd behind level 8 rival>take a massive fucking shortcut with a wisp boost in a straight line>don't even catch up to the rival>finally get near it>hit it with an item>it barely slows down and is still right up my assThis is fucking ridiculous
>>721666172Yeah, it's like high-level rivals are given all the best Gears for like nine slots.
>>721666094ATB was in FF6
Get rid of the paramount bs, improve the music (may already be better in full releases, beta wasn't great), and make more interesting weapons or a mode without weapons and I'd be in. I'd even accept the option to not see non-Sega characters like how Soul Calibur let's you hide custom characters.
>>721666094Let's not act like it's some groundbreaking new thing; it's a slight shift on the same battle system they've been using for decades.
What settings do I put on this on steamdeck?
>>721665131She's a product of overlapping shit marks.First, she's the shounen classic, the useless pink thing. This is probably the most damning thing, off the bat. See Sakura from Naruto, with similar degrees of "fuck this character" across the fan base. Second, a somewhat emergent property of the first, she doesn't have good writing or roles, because nobody likes her, so she doesn't get good roles. The movie MIGHT claw back some attention, but more than likely, won't. The only Amy depiction that wasn't complete ass was the Boom cartoon.Third, her stats suck ass. If you want a female character, she's among the worst you can do.
>>721666694A small thing I want to add, as this is more of a single-player thing, but she doesn't really have a single standout interaction with anyone in the cast. Even her dialogue with Sonic feels like placeholder dialogue.
>ITS TRUEHOW?
