It seems like the only decent game left to play is Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. FUCK YOU NIGGER
>>729916623 Crossworlds is decent, yeah, but it still feels like Sega just threw all their assets into a blender and hoped for the best. The track design's fun, but the rubberband AI in later stages is straight-up cheating. Wish they'd put that energy into a new Riders game instead.
>>729916938imagine playing a kart racer offline against bots u stupid nigger. fuck you
>>729916623>>729917250bro going all out today
>>729917412fuck you. who wants to get a 4 stack and play online lobbies?

Sage is built for BBC BlueBerryConfections
>>729916938>but it still feels like Sega just threw all their assets into a blender and hoped for the best.Based. It's literally just Transformed but worse and more jewish.
>>729917127>Didn't Silver SurfAnd whose fault is that?
>>729917127Five seconds in you threw the magnet back and the shuriken literally phased past it and still got you. That's such a bullshit weapon, I don't know why it made past the drawing board

>>729916623Now that you show him to me, I feel bad about Chaos not being in the game
>>729916623Shame about the music. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>729919535OPA
>>729917127How the fuck did this make it through playtesting? I love this game but you should not be able to get hit by 5+ items back to back with zero counterplay. Matter of fact, how has this not even been addressed by Sega yet? The game's been out for 3 months and the biggest "balance" change we got was a color chance for AI Blaze and AI Silver, wtf are they doing?>inb4 just run silver surferA band-aid, no matter how nice, is merely a treatment for a problem, not a cure. As strong as this build is, there are 80+ other gadgets in the game someone might want to use, and four other vehicle classes someone may want to use outside of Extreme Gears.
>>729919819>there are 80+ other gadgets in the game someone might want to use#1 biggest fucking problem online. I want to run fun stuff that I like without getting my colon gaped, but I can't for obvious reasons. It's absolutely insane to me that they're ignoring every single player that doesn't surf, doesn't Power QR Slip Ring Boost w/e, and doesn't bag their brains out. Several archetypes are dead in the water, and there's no fucking way to know that until after you got assblasted online. These options should be competitive without anti-item diapers forced on everyone.
>>729920224Unfortunately for (You) and me, you're going to hop into that World Match lobby that has at minimum 10 Silver Surfers and a bot, and you have no choice about it. GG, go next.
>>729919819Oh yeah the balance of this game is beyond dogshit and Sega's one single "update" was clearly just DLC setup. It's unlikely they actually care about anything else.If this game didn't have a ranking system that tricks people into playing for hundreds of hours there would be nothing here.
>>729919819>WAAAAHHHHH NO FUN ALLOWEDFuck off
>>729921152Retard.
>>729921152>it's actually GOOD that it's less balanced and has as much support as garfield kart
>>729920409The 1.2.0 notes made it sound like they're keeping an eye on things, so I won't write them off this early. I do however suspect they probably have a vision like "UC frontrunner, slipstream pack, rear baggers" that more or less already exists, with UC being the consistent victor since it both bypasses most items and is already capable of frontrunning instead of needing to successfully pull ahead at the last second.I would rather they're slow and deliberate with changes instead of nerfing everything into a sterile homogenized blob, if nothing else.
>>729919819the game flopped, why would they care to do anything
>>729922063I don't think moving at a fucking snail's pace in regards to balancing the game is the best option because people are just going to give up and quit playing at this point. I had lobbies during Legend Competition with upwards of 9 bots in them because people who don't want to surf or bag are just up and leaving since playing any other setup results in losing.
>>729922063Not sure why you'd want them to be slow, it's not like the DLC adds any new content that changes any sort of game balance. Plus let's be real, when the DLC ends they are done.
>>729922225You also had surfers leaving those because it wasn't worth staying in any room with bots and that wasn't your rank or higher if you wanted to climb, and the matchmaking was aggressively pushing bot lobbies until it got patched. LC was a godawful mess.
>>729922618It was but point being, the game is bleeding players because of Sega's laziness and incompetence. Speaking as someone who is Legend 1 and likes the game, I have no desire to play anymore at this point because why bother? Every lobby is going to be the same fucking things, and I'm going to get kicked in the mouth for daring to experiment with my gadgets.
didn't sega drop a video where they told people to silver surf? lmfao
>>729922753I almost wonder if they will just go the NASB route with it where they just take their money and slop out another one.
>>729922832Yes, they did. This one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf6iWCnfWng>>729922870I hope not, the game itself at it's core is really fucking good, all they need to do is get off their asses and listen to the community so that the game isn't killed by a bunch of tranny streamer metaslaves. Isn't that why they keep putting out these surveys about the game? To figure out what we want changed?
>>729922956I'm curious if they will ever even fix simple things like letting the new characters be bots.
>>729923065I doubt it. The single player feels extremely barebones as is, just look at the "Special" Challenges.>Drive 40,000.. Distance(?)>Win 100 times in Grand Prix (why?)>Win 240 times in Race Park (WHY?)>Win in every Grand Prix at least once. (There's only 8 and yet they want you to also win 100 times)
>>729923580Kek true. This came forces hours of gameplay out of completionistfags worse than gacha games.
>>729923580i wish this game actually had a plot like riders or something
>>729923698I don't.
>>729923624The funny thing is, the online is in such a shit state that I actually grinded this nonsense out because I still wanted to play the game. The only things I haven't finished yet are the 40k distance and completing someone's friendship.This is after 300 hours by the way.>>729923698Would be nice but I imagine any kind of budget for something like that was wasted on retarded cartoon slop (Sponge, Avatar, TMNT, etc.)
>>729922956>Quick Recovery>Slipstream Bounty>Extended Slipstream>Mini Dash Panel Bounty>... no Mini Ring BoostWHAT ARE THEY DOIIIINNNNGGGG MANNNNNNNNNYou don't take Dash Panel Bounty without a single Ring Boost Sega, it doesn't do anything without the Ring Boost gadgetsss what were you smokinggggguhh
>>729919346I liked Lost Worlds but I have no idea how 2 sinister six members made it over literally anyone else? And the only post launch sonic characters aren't even from a game??
Realistically, if you were going to add more gadget variety, how would you do it? About 40% of the gadgets in the game are useful in some build, track, or game mode, and most of the remainder seems like unsalvageable memes.
>>729924601To go along with the Air Trick gadgets, a third one that exponentially increases the speedboost you get based on how many tricks you do could be cool. Imagine rocketing away after doing like 15 - 20 tricks on big jumps like the ones on E-Stadium, Radical Highway, and Dragon Road.
>>729924601Good list, interesting that they already put Accel Char Kit in though.
Tell me about snaking, keeping it narrow is key, right? But how to avoid the walls? Letting go of the accelerator slows down a lot. Snap drift + snaking = winning combo?
Sex with Whisper mains no further comment send post
>>729927505The direction doesn't matter, what matters is that you're filling that boost bar. Just take the best line possible while filling the boost bar 100% of the time.
>>729927586It's that I'm not used to snaking, and I'm going too wide, hitting the wall on each side.
>>729929812Get used to neutral drifts, that's a major way to stay straight while charging meter. Just hold drift without touching the wheel any, swap drift direction each level of you have to. it will follow through.
>>729919819>playtestingLmao have you seen this game
>weekend>no lobbiesIs it truly over?
>>729929968That's a good point. If anything though that just makes the non-existent rush to patch the game sting ever more though.>>729930014It will be if Sega continues to do nothing.
>>729929968i feel like they only playtested the singleplayer
>>729930014>3 in the morningwhat did you expectgo back to sleep
>>729929909>hold drift without touching the wheel>mfw it never occurred to me
>>729916938>Crossworlds is decentOnly decent compared to the shitshow that was MKW. Why did they bother putting hover boards in the game when you can directly compare them to sonic riders and see how much worse the controls, animations and mechanics are?It just makes me wish I was playing riders instead.
>>729929909>neutral driftsso THAT'S how
>>729930582I expect lobbies later today.
whens pac
>>729935573Safe bet would be 2 weeks.
>>729924284>sinister six membersHe's in.
>>729924284I wish Zeena had been one of the ones who showed up.
>>729936265She hurt Cream so no.
>>729938079We've missed the opportunity for Cream to get back at her by firing missiles at her giant ass though.
>coming across a /v/ro at this hour while playing World match
>>729939347did you rape him
>>729939449I don't think I'm raping anyone while using Wave.
>>729939665>WaveDid he rape you then?
>>729939696There's no raping the willing.
what's up with all the rape talk? You're scaring me
>>729939742As if I didn't have enough reasons to want to queue with you>>729939758Stay in your room until we say, anon
>>729939347howd you know it was one of us
>>729940495Names become recognizable if you stick with one after so many lobbies and festivals.
>>729936140kek
>That moment when you lock in after seeing the split second opening from everyone else throwing shit at each otherGHAHAHAHA thanks for first place, fuckers!
it really pisses me off that they still havent fixed that clipping issue on apotos
>>729924284Zazz and Zavok are unironically more popular than Chaos Zero, Gamma, Mephiles, and Emerl.Accept this as fact.
>>729941535nta, i'd agree with everyone but mephiles
Playing on SSS reminds me how much more fun and chaotic online could be.
Sad that if you won't get a blue wisp before the water section on Ocean View you already lost at least places on the last turn
PINGAS
Legend 5 is the wall, holy shit, The point drop-off is insane. I think it's time to up the drift game.Also they should totally make counter quick charge 2 slots because I said so.
>>729943996>Legend 5 is the wallOh how I wish that was true. You'll taste true pain the closer to heaven you get. Best of luck.
>working on getting my other main friendship maxed>reminded how much this grind sucks
also the jukebox is fucking brokeni listened to Free more times than I ever wantedalso any mods? i saw that riders hud one but i cant find it
