>Hear nothing but bad things about a game >Finally try out said game>It's fucking great and actually one of the best in the seriesHas this ever happened to you?
But was Tock right?
To be COMPLETELY fair the game has had numerous patches over the past year to make much needed improvements. What we got at launch is much different compared to what we have now. Love the game though.
Zillennials are so attached to 8 they won't accept anything else.
Have you been missing the /v/eekend threads? It has a pretty dedicated playerbase. Its an excellent game. Knockout Tour is amazing, and the soundtrack is god tier.
>>739206948Because 8 is the best one by far,the peak and natural evolution of the series.
>>739207064You wouldn't have said that if you played it in 2014 on the Wii U. World still has the entire generation to get better, and its already better than 8 from a pure gameplay standard
>>739206689Mario Kart World had impossible expectations to meet as a follow-up to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and as Nintendo's first $80 game, the latter significantly contributing to the criticism it recieved.>>739206937This is true as well, the numerous updates the game has recieved have been small, but impactful.
>>739206937ThisBut at launch it was still pretty solid, the only thing it’s that it’s being dragged down by the $80 price, it doesn’t justify that price by any means>B-but I got it with the bundle for $50!So did I, doesn’t change that it’s a $80 game
>>739206937>>739207480very much this. I personally still prefer 8 Deluxe, but a lot of things have improved since it came out nearly a year ago, especially fixing the atrocious item balance to be far less annoying in route tracks.>>739207268Not that anon but I did play it a lot of Wii U as well as Switch, and I agree that 8 Deluxe is the peak of the series. I respect World and what it tries to do to go in a new direction, and it looks and sounds phenomenal, but I'm not going to pretend I don't prefer 8 Deluxe.
>>739207268Agreed. Mario Kart World clears base 8, easily. Even though the battle mode is just as bad, plop Block Fort down in the world somewhere for fuck sake.
>>739206689Would be the best MK IF they simply let you play regular courses without the intermissions.
>>739207820Intermissions are peak though.
>>739206689>Has this ever happened to you?
>>739206689more peach alts when
Newer players are really damn lucky they didn't experience the absolute bullshit that the boomerang was in its prime before its two(one minor, one very major) nerfs.
>>739209617I'd give anything to have this look but its such a fucking deep cut now.
>>739209617Never, the Daisy favoritism was strong in this game (which is a good thing)
>>739206689i like it but i'm still tired of featherweights completely dominating
>>739206689Why is it one of the best in the series?
>>739209617Pauline(and DK) first please? Fucking bulllshit they got nothing when they have options. Party TIme(Newyears)ValentinesFarmerMayor PaulineThat touring concept art she had for world
>great and actually one of the best in the seriesNamaste, saar.
>>739210018They could easily fix this by giving middle and heavy weights more acceleration or improving their coin stat. Feels like the only reason they don't is because Peach, Daisy and Coin Coffer would become the new try hard group similar to 8 deluxe.
>>739206689Once or twice. Never dead was a blast and that game was universally panned.
>>739206689I have both 8DX and World, however i appreciate how instant the load times are on 8DX on Switch 2.When I want to play a quick match I boot up 8DX, when I have a bit more time , I boot up World, when I'm feeling tryhard I boot up Air RidersVariety is the spice of life they say.
>>739206948>>739207064Is it really zillennials? I'm a zillennial and I honestly couldn't stand 8. DS, Wii and 7 were all perfectly fine for me but 8 felt so drastically different from how I previously played Mario Kart that it was unrecognizable to me. I double dipped on Switch with 8DX and still only ever played it a single time. World by contrast was a lot better, though I don't have as much time for videogames these days.
I want more knockout tours man. It's been almost a full year it can't be that complicated to add more of them. Throw in a mirror mode option for them too online.
>>739210092>slopposter calling others jeetsinteresting
>>739207620>especially fixing the atrocious item balance to be far less annoying in route tracks.Yeah this. Cus holy shit you'd just know when a lighting or blue was happening in knockout tours because they'd always happen in the exact same spots. usually after the 2nd or 3rd item set consistently
played it at launch and it really is a breath of fresh air after 10 years of MK8 and actually having gameplay that alters the series in a significant way. It has its issues but I'm glad for the most part it sticks the landing and is peak mario kart
>>739209617real. we need so many for my wife. Give her Mario Kart tour outfits or even the luigi overalls from the Super mario Adventures comic
>>739210082mmm, chocolate Pauline
>>739210082It's insane that they never capitalized on Bananza with new alts for Pauline and DK here.
>>739206948>>739210229I'm a zillennial and for me it's Double Dash and its wacky jank, dodging blue shells with a well-timed drift boost is satisfying and something the other games can't properly recreate. Also the alt. title screens for it and 64 were kino
I might be in the minority but I miss wheel customization as a very minor nitpick againt world. Vehicle stats in this game feel too stiff for my liking. Not that I like roller being slapped onto everything in 8 deluxe.
>>739209964>daisy favoritism what
>>739211418Maybe if there were better looking wheels I'd have missed it, I hated how hard it was to get wheels that actually looked good on my favorite kart.
>>739211325Still hoping King K Rool shows up. Him being a bowser tier heavy feels too obvious not to happen.
>>739206689I've played World way more than 8. The open world is a great palate cleanser between long play sessions.
>>739211184>chocolate
>>739206948I played the fuck out of 8/8DX and really love it, but honestly I find it hard to go back to after playing a bunch of World. Doesn't help that the online for 8DX is almost entirely metafags.
>>739211478I used GLA tires mainly. IDK man the product placement tires somehow worked on just about anything visually.
>>739206689I finally got prime 4 and I now outright hate every single stupid secondary mother fucker that lost their minds because "this isnt metroid prime", because its literally like they mashed echoes and corruption together (with LESS npc interaction) and added a pointless but inoffensive motorcycle for what seems like no other reason than to play up the space western thing.
>>739206937>don't worry guys patches made it better!>one of the first patches was purely to remove the ability to do normal 3 lap races and force the gay ass straight line intermissionsthis game could have just bricked the console with no refunds and retards would still fucking defend it. nintendo fans have no fucking balls
Why can I never get first place online in MKW? I would get first place countless times in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
>try 8 deluxe again after a long while>trying to charge a hop to hop over or onto stuff and failing>touching even a tiny smudge offroad or walls kills all momentum>back to not having a respawn boost when falling off the trackNot a diss towards 8 I just found the differences funny and instantly noticeable
>>739211418>>739211478Yeah, I don't miss vehicle customization at all, too much downtime spent fiddling with parts (even more so if you actually care about stats) and a lot of designs weren't really compatible with parts outside their set anyway.
>>739206689You're in the honeymoon phase after buying a switch 2
200cc when?
>>739211691McKenzie was never the problem with Prime 4, the game has a loooooot of issues but when everyone only complains about him you can perfectly know it’s just an regurgitated eceleb opinion
>>739211813I had an inverse honeymoon phase where I didn't like it for the first 20 hours and grew to love it the more I understood it.
>>739211787>>739211795honestly these are both so real, the flow of world at times surpasses 8, it really keeps everything moving forward to the finish line and has leeway for you to experiment with the games mechanics vs going back to 8. Also its neat to see new pre designed karts again in the style of any weight class can pick it. the radio bike and and the fire flower rod karts have been great uses
>>739206963Nobody visits those threads because of the retarded circlejerk.
>>739209532This one is well liked outside of 4chan tho
>>739212063>retarded circlejerk.Explain. I don't go to those threads much
I wish I could like it more than I do but it's in this awkward middle spot where it requires commitment and tighter muscle memory than the previous game and i'd argue Mario Kart in general but also has this other third of the game (More if you include intermissions) that's completely braindead once you've assessed the level of the lobby you're playing with and if it enables bagging or playing the game more. This isn't really a knock on the game's depth, in fact its nice to see some beyond fundamental cornering skills, but it did impact my personal experience with leaving the game behind for a bit and wanting to pick it up once more.I end up coming back to the game rusty and bad, kind of locked out of picking good tracks like Bowser's Castle or Whistlestop Summit because I know I probably can't get 1st if there's someone halfway competent, but i'm not particularly interested in boring tracks like Peach Beach or to a lesser extent tracks with a really obvious, linear, sort of lame gameplan like Mario Circuit. Leaving out these 2 categories of tracks doesn't leave a lot of tracks I can pick where I can be competitive enough despite a bit of rust, while offering a dynamic enough racing experience.New tracks/DLC can't come soon enough, hope they're not being held back too much by the open world.
It would be the best MK if they made a 3 lap only playlist. I just cant fucking stand straight lines.
>>739212063He means if he can't spend half the thread mindlessly shitting on Nintendo it's a circlejerk
>>739211757Because a big part of the pretty low if you ask me online playerbase are just metafaggots using one character and kart combination and jumping and tricking through every turn and wall getting ahead of everyone not doing the same or sweating their ass trying to catch up.https://litter.catbox.moe/kwp8ffhq4p0qixuu.mp4I don't really like having to sweat EVERY fucking race trying to get 1st instead of having fun racing normally. That's the kind of shit that kills this game's online for me. That and the game thinking putting someone with just a couple of races online against people with over 8000 points is fine and fair.
>>739212680MK8 was the same way for me. That's the unfortunate fate of all online kart racers it seems.
>>739206937>What we got at launch is much different compared to what we have now. Love the game though.So just like MK8?
>>739212771Yeah, I have hundreds of hours in that 8DX and that's mostly single-player and playing with family.Did online a couple of times and at that moment it was full of everyone using just Yoshi and the toy bike with small tires. I hated that shit so much I never touched online again. Boring fest of everyone doing the same race after race.I'm one to always complain when a game doesn't give us lots of different characters to use, but then I see shit like that and understand why devs do the minimum in that regard. Why waste your time having over 50 characters if people are going to use just the one?
>>739206689The fact that I've already played it more than MK8+all the dlc speaks a lot.And I was there for 8 since the Wii U.
>>739213008Man the waluigi wiggler and later on yoshi teddy bear spam made 8 such a drag to play.
>>739206937>>739207480What did they change in the updates that made it not shit? I remember everyone hating on it at launch
>>739213209They made it slightly easier to just play mariokart 8 because tendies seethe and shit when exposed to new ideas.
>>739212005SIX SEVEN!
>>739207268I loved 8 on the Wii U but god damn the base roster alone shows how fucking barren it was initially.
>>739212680I know absolutely nothing about the meta in MKW. I just play as Mario or Daisy’s summer alt on the dolphin bike.
>>739212919Got to be honest I don't recall 8 or 8 deluxe having much of any gameplay quirks that needed to be fixed. Only thing that comes to mind is them making item boxes respawn faster and making coconut mall's cars move online
>>739212680If I want a chance at having a room where most of the room is at 8k+ rather than a few and a wild range of people, I need to play around the time Japan is most active. Natural erosion of players + remaining commited players going to Lounge or whatever's that alternative that lets you play what you want really did a number on Worldwides during Western hours.
>>739213308it took nearly a decade but it got there eventually
knockout tour fucks
>>739213308>>739213413I miss the koopalings
>>739213315>I just play as Mario or Daisy>DaisySame. But then you start to notice almost everyone using the same combo race after race and you say "oh, guess this is the meta".But to that I always say "fuck that shit" and play my favorite. Fun before meta.
>>7392133768 VR was a matter of playtime, MKW vr starts punishing for poor placements at 8k+.
>>739213528Who’s the best character? Is it Swoop? I see a lot of people online using Swoop and there’s no way it’s because they legitimately like them.
>>739213209It's a lot of super minor things but they add up. If I recall.....Made the item distribution less chaoticMade the blueshell and Lightning less commonGave everyone more invincibility after being hitadded in an invincibility stat like 8 deluxe(needs more work desu)Trickinglanding onto inclines doesn't cause slower acceleration Made 3 lap tracks appear more often online after like 3 updates of it being barely noticableNerfed the fucking hell of the boomerang like they should have ages agoWall riding is faster than it used to beThey nerfed the cup offline because they were too hard(apparently)Added bob-omb blastyou can see the name of the music playing when paused added map icons for the collectablesLet ufo's unlock npc charactersAdded back the item select toggle from 8 deluxe(and kamek only makes it even easier to unlock characters)long story short a lot of stuff that should have been there at launch.
>>739213665pretty sure it's swoop with the ROB bike
>>739213665I guess. Like I said here >>739212680 I did a couple of online races and there were a few lobbies full of it (and you can see a couple in the video) so I guess he's the meta character or something else is going on online.
>>739213665Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Para Biddy buddy and Swoop all share the same stats. Only reason people choose that bat is because it covers up the screen even less. >>739213509I miss metal mario and PGP
>>739213665>Genuinely liked using Swoop and Para Biddybud in the Baby Blooper because they looked cute in the little car.>It became the meta so now I can't use them without looking like some lousy metafag.
>>739213763Thanks for the QRD.
>>739213665Yeah, it's Swoop on the ROB Hog>Aren't there multiple characters with the exact same statline as Swoop? Why only him?There's a few arguments and they're all pretty weak but again, metaslaves have never needed strong arguments to be metaslave.His hitbox is the smallest of his weight class (I think the rest are babies) so it gives more visibility, and by playing as Swoop and blending in you're not directly identifiable on the mini map which would make it easier to aim for you. Someone wanting to target you would need to be close to you to see your tag.
>>739213772Mach rocket and rob hog have the same stats. screw the hivemind mach rocket looks cooler.
>>739206689agreed, I too love driving in straight lines
>>739206689Items are too pussy and weak. Bring back N64 shell physics and lightning.
>>739206937>>739207480anon who got it only this year, what changed after such updates? I'm curious to know
>Oh boy time for another 5 minutes of straight track with hardly any turns and wide enough to fit 24 players next to each otherSounds fun
I don't have bad taste so no. (except for sacred 2 fallen angel but it's nostalgic)
>>739213859The metafaggotry is beyond annoying in video games at this point. Peak NPC behaviour.
It's only good because you're ignorant of how the game works.When, or if, you hit the 8000 point grind the games shittiness rears its ugly head. Acceleration is pretty much the only stat that matters, since even the feather weights can keep up with the heavy weights (the only heavy weight that outclasses feather/light weights is bowser since he's the fastest character in the game and even then this is only useful in knockout tour (It's why you rarely see non-bowser heavy weights. Vehicle balance is dogshit, some karts are simply better like the Reel Racer which is pretty much the best heavy kart. Bagging in knock out tour for good item rolls, I blame this mostly on lightning since getting hit by lightning while you're below 3rd place/fourth place practically guarantees your loss in knock out tour. I gave up playing the traditional racing mode since heavy weights can't even compete in the mode, even if they hop on the highest acceleration rides they have you're still outclassed by high acceleration karts + feather/lightweight characters. The highest I could get in it is 8200 with wario on the stock motorcycle/pipe kart.
>>739206937Yeah, the launch game was better because you didn't have to play the shitty intermissions and could actually race.
>>739209964I wanna fuck Daisy
>>739211757u jelly?u mad?
>>739212680I felt like I was pretty good at keeping up with the ultra tryhards during CTRNF's heyday but something about the hard as balls trick timing on some of the world shortcuts are fucking nonsense and idk what the difference really is
>hundreds of kart/bike combinations>only one mattersThe stat system is retarded
>>739214192I can’t be mad at that because you aren’t playing meta so good for you I guess.
>>739214250This is why I vastly prefer the way CTR:NF did it at the end with the engine system update. Really hope more kart racing games would just give everyone the same stats and let the items, luck, and driving skills do the talking.CrossWorlds do something slightly similar where character or machine parts barely matters (outside class type) but even there metaslaves can't keep using the same combo just for 1 extra point in a stat.
>>739211691It's solid enough yuh.Hooefully they build something really great off of it with Prime5.>>739211757Skill issue.Literally.I use rocky wrench and the train bike. I get 1st somewhat often and top 5 regularly.Learn your tracks. Learn how to drive and do tricks.
>>739206689The character designs are the best in the Mario series ever
>>739214253To be fair that anon is playing knockout tour where speed actually matters. In fact the knockout tour he's playing specifically favors high road speed which the billdozer has
>>739214253What is meta even? I just like kingboo and the bullet bill kart, I didn't look up what's best. I get usually in knockout tour online 12th-1st. First is rare but I've done it a few times or so.
>>739213361Vanilla 8 on the Wii U was very different. Only 32 courses, only one item at a time, certain battle modes were nonexistent, constant slowdown...it was rough.MK8D fixed most of those issues, but still required another DLC pack that doubled the courses.So when people say MK8D is better, it's mostly because it has had multiple years and patches to iron itself out.
>>739214823true, not sure why people don't expect the same for world
>>739214667>I just like kingbooBased, Boos are singlehandedly the best thing to ever happen to this series
>>739214634Really? Because I've won multiple times with hammer bro with the pipe frame.
>>739214667Knockout tour? Bowser on the Reel Racer, Junkyard Hog, or even W-Twin ChopperAnyone curious about the stats can use this.https://www.mkworldbuilder.com/statsor compare comboshttps://www.mkworldbuilder.com/The stats screen in world is even more useless than it was in 7, 8, and 8 deluxe since it outright lies to you about the speed stat.
Pauline>Rosalina>Peach>Daisy
>>739214823Ohh you mean the very start. Yeah I remember how barebones vanilla 8 was. Who could forget?
>>739215172Birdo owns all of those and gives you godly bjs
All the levels look and feel the same.
>>739214928Because we live in a kneejerk constantly-online 24/7 world where if a game doesn't get weekly new updates/DLC or drops below so many numbers in Twitch/Steam charts, it's considered dead and a flop.
>>739215048What's your rating in knockout tour? Once you're in the 8k range the bowsers start showing up more. not as much as the swoops in normal races but still very frequent.
>>739214557It's great, it's like Nakaue's art but in 3D.Hopefully the next 3D Mario sticks to this style.
>mariokart is full of metafaggotry nowI'm fucking sick of compfags ruining literally every single online game. The fact that compfags have infested mariokart is absolutely absurd
>>739215654>nowhas been since DS
>>739215724wasn't as extreme back then. Ever since 8D it's gone way too far
>don't pay attention to retards on the internet>play World>it's alright but not as good as 8DX, needs expansions and Nintendo needs to stop being autistic about route coursesBeing $80 is pretty gay I guess but otherwise Bing Bing Kart should not be taken this seriously
>>739215791I don't see how you can think 8dx is better wut
Whats the thing where people hate on new games which are better versions of older games like this new mario kart?I've played mulitple mario karts since N64. Including 3ds one.Mario Kart World is best mario kart.
>>739206689Op has shit taste
>>739215882I like double dash more, but world is great!
>>739213953Nothing TOO significant but they've all been nice.>General balancing to make 3-lap courses more common in online lobbies>Music track names display in the pause screen>Better tracking of Free Roam missions>Boomerang Flower was nerfed back to MK8 levels (Used to go further and could be thrown up to 4 times)>Mega Mushroom users no longer flatten you if they collide with you while you're crashing/spinning out (This one is big, the way it was before was literally insult to injury)>Bullet Bill knocks people to the side more powerfully>All water-based routes (Mostly going to/from Koopa Troopa Beach) got HUGE improvements; what used to be mostly straight lines are now full of all sorts of obstacles>Addition of Bob-omb Blast to battle mode
Is the dolphin bike any good? That’s all I’ve been using.
>>739215882>its the bestwhy>its new!amazing. the intermission courses alone make this the shittiest mario kart since the main fucking function of a standard 3 lap race is completely butchered but I guess being distracted by the shiny new toy is cool too
>>739217573speed wise it offers no speed unless you're on water(chocolate, mud, lava too) so...no. not particularly. don't let that stop you though.
>>739215309oh yeah I forgot about the vr rank nevermind
>>739215851It depends, people who like normal MK go for 8DX, but people who like the new approach prefer World, each to their own.Am glad that both are avaiable on the same system
>>739214823>>739215185>constant slowdownsDude the game literally CAPPED at 59fps. It was a very well-known bug that didn't ever get fixed in 8's lifespan on Wii U.
>>739214928Because unlike MK8, World is just fundamentally flawed because of the wall riding and rail grinding that's built into the core of the game itself, so no matter how many updates or dlc this game gets this problem will always be there no matter what.So no matter how many years pass you'll still see the same metafags wall ride the same wall and grind the same rail because there's no reason not to do it if you want to win and frankly the fact so many people are okay with this is just sickening to me. This shit clearly isn't mario kart at all.
>>739218452I'm okay with 8DX mainly because of 200cc and the track variety. It feels a bit too basic compared to the other games outside of 7 which is pretty similar, although that's probably the reason I don't ever want to return to 7.
>>739220396>skill is le bad
>>739220693It's not even skill, it's just track knowledge and nothing else. And I'm not going to bother learning every single metafag route in this dogshit game.
>>739206689When will you learn. Always do the opposite of what /v/ says.
>>739210082its a crime this beauty's stuck with 1 alt a year in
>>739207268The Wii U game was better. The second item slot and 200cc ruined it
Sonic racing crossworlds won.
Say no to bait and enjoy games.
>>739220997>game rewards you for practicing wew
>>739206937>sound - normal/loudAmazing update.
>>739222386This
>>739220693how can you argue "skill" when the rest of the race is basically driving in a straight line? its just letting anyone who gets shit lucky with RNG on the way to the actual single lap race to keep the lead without contest as long as they're autistic and memorized every single jump
>>739222101.
>>739220693>>739222423>just waste your time like the rest of metafaggots so you too can treat this game's online as if you're playing time trialsCTR, Sonic, and even Mario. Not falling for that shit ever again, but thanks for trying.
>>739206689It's been a while. Has Nintendo added a jukebox feature yet or a way to actually listen to the music in the game unmolested? Ridiculous that they have something like 6 hours of music in the game with no way to properly listen to it.
>>739222774Lol no.
>>739222789For what porpoise?
>>739223243>fat pigDisgusting. I will put Loline on a strict diet and exercise routine. This will not be her future.
>>739206937>What we got at launch is much different compared to what we have now.not really, content wise the game is the exact same aside from some routes and the addition of bomb-omb battle
>>739212680I fucking hate how every Mario Kart since Wii has been like this. It's why I never even bothered with the online in World.I want to see people use who they like, not minmaxed bullshit that, at best, could theoretically do 5% better in ideal conditions.I wish they'd add in new single player stuff. 90% of my fun with World has been just driving around the map and taking pictures.>>739209964My wife deserves favortism for once.
>>739223243>thick PaulineBlessed.
>>739220997anon how is that any different from understanding which lines to take and which patches of offroad to shroom through? every mario kart game requires "track knowledge" and mastery of the core mechanics to be great at, there's no exceptions to this. >no bro trust me i knew how to drift in double dash and no one else didyou still need to have a solid understanding of the tracks in order to maximize the efficacy of that skill.
Man the tech in world makes shit like firehopping and snaking look primitiveI actually enjoy time trial autism despite never touching it outside of rewards in previous games
>>739224171>I fucking hate how every Mario Kart since Wii has been like this. It's why I never even bothered with the online in World.>I want to see people use who they like, not minmaxed bullshit that, at best, could theoretically do 5% better in ideal conditions.It's not the best solution but tanking your VR below around 8100 pushes you back into less try hard lobbies. I do it on purpose myself occasionally because being 9k isn't all that imo.
>>739206689Game has fantastic moments without doubt.Ignore the seething twats
>>739224439I barely touched online and still got matched against people in the 8k range. Or the game is extremely empty and puts you against the only autistic enough to keep playing online, or this shit doesn't even take your own rank into consideration.
>>739224832yeah now post the rest of the fucking race where you're driving up a empty highway
>>739220396maybe as well call every racer shit then you worthless nigger ape.Optimal pathing exists in every fucking racing game to exist.This isn't unique to mario kart.Learn to git gud, or stay in weenie hut jr. racers.
By far the best MK.Pulling off shit like this is so much more fun than anything in 8.
Mario Kart World is boring
>>739224905Sure.If you want to bait.I can do this all day.You lost and got raped snoygger faggot.Get over yourself.
>>739224832Still have no idea why Nintendo hasn't implemented B or even C sides to some courses. The game can definitely support it when it lets you do some tracks backwards like this.>>739224883And custom fucking knockout tour tracks when?
>>739225037Bruh...wtfh did you do to your video?That quality is aids.Go download webm4retards.
>>739225103>post exactly what the complaint was, driving in a straight line up a highwayheh, feeling pwned yet snoy???
>>739225152If you want to strawman and ignore the weaving through traffic and other hazards.Sure.Cry more bitch snoygger.Worried that your data got leaked by sony again?Or fretting over the increased ps+?>>739225126It'll probably be released for the games first major update.
>>739225152The complaint was that the highway was empty when the webm clearly shows that is not the case.
>>739224272Because in the older games you didn't need to know each track inside and out to do well in them, you could do well in a track you've never been in before even vs players that do with just driving skill and using mushrooms in simple offroad areas that are easily identifiable.The problem with World is that driving skill and shroom cuts doesn't cut it anymore, you have to do the very specific metafag shortcut on said track every lap or you're fucked. At that point it's not even about how good you are at the game, only that you remember every track skip to heart and in my eyes it's not even skill at that point, it's just memorization.I guess if I had to put it more simply, World requires you to have track knowledge in order to win whereas you could win in older games even without track knowledge.
>>739225103>love game franchise>find flaws in new game>get called names because I didn't say it was perfectAnd this is why I don't try to reason with other people about games I don't like from franchises I love.
mario kart world fucked up witht he fucking transition tracks.Just let me fucking race in an actual track.
>>739225287anon it's either eric or sealiontranny.they are completely dishonest in all things.He's been shitting up this thread for like 4 hours.
>>739220396Just say you're too old to keep up with the game gramps.
>>739225328>i HECKING LOOOVE old [game] but new [game] is SHIT SHIT REEEEEEEUh huh.Sure you do anon.I believe you.Lying faggot.
>>739225416>no you don't love the game because I say so
>>739225263>uhm excuse me the map isn't mostly a straight line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!fucks sakes you stupid gorilla nigger you're bouncing between saying its a high skill game because you do a bunch of wacky tricks on the courses then trying to defend these fucking road courses where you drive up the goddamn highway in a straight line>>739225287and you too you dumb nigger, a bunch of cars you don't even need to dodge because its a HIGHWAY with STRAIGHT FUCKING LANES IS NOT A FUCKING MARIO KART TRACK ITSI fucking hate this fucking website now, its just deluded faggots that post 24/7 defending shit calling everyone else a sony fan or whoever this nigger eric is. how the fuck do you all lack this much shame or self awareness?
>game has been out for a year>still no playlist for 3-lap only races>big open world still empty as fuckwhy wont they just let us play normal mario kart? why? fucking why? no one likes the connecting highway tracks.
>>739225416i think this anon is baiting all of you by intentionally posting the most hated tracks in the game.
>>739225471>a bunch of cars you don't even need to dodge because its a HIGHWAY with STRAIGHT FUCKING LANES IS NOT A FUCKING MARIO KART TRACKBut enough about Toad Turnpike
I was having a blast with the original Drakengard like uh 6~7? years back until the red full-auto aimbot crossbowmen became abundant
>>739225471>>739225468>REEEEEEEEEEwhatever you seething faggots say.>m..muh highways ARE NOT mario kart tracks>ignores toad turnpike, mushroom city, etc which are just thatYou niggers literally don't play these games.You lostsony loststay mad.
>>739225416This right here is why the game failed. It isn't fun to play online in the slightest unless you know all these exploits for every track. The game looks fantastic and the verticality is incredible, but it just isn't even remotely as much fun to play online as 8. You get about 10-20 hours of fun getting all the golds/3 stars and if you're reslly bored you can grind out the random p switches and hunt down coins in the open world that just feels like random busywork, but the game itself just falls apart when it comes to the online play which should be the thing that makes it playable forever.Its just poorly designed.

>>739225539>>739225563same track huh
>>739224002they wont add loli pauline in because she has no shoes and touching the pedals without shoes is gross
>>739225561I double checked it was more like 9 years ago, shit fuck 2020
>>739210092When you have no other intellectual input other than AI to back up your claims, it means that the idea holds no power in the collective unconscious.
>talking about game>showing pics and videos of game>don't like certain parts of the game>"YOU DON'T PLAY THESE GAMES"Guess I'm out. It was a civilized discussion until that.
>>739225601>ignores all the tricks, tech, and short cuts 8 requires just to strawman>just going to flat out ignore some 4 years of>waluigi + wiggler>bbabies + teddy bear>just to seethe at the new gameHilariously fucking uneducated.>>739225636pretty much yuh.Cause you have to avoid just as much traffic, items, and hazards on both.Your worthless cope of >...m..m..muh..st..straight...l..linesss...!show how little you have played world, know of its mechanics, and refusal to engage with them.So once again.You lostsony loststay raped.
>>739225636You seem too focused on the minimap to actually look at the the actual course. Toad Turnpike is the same shit you complained about. Making a figure 8 out of a straight line with traffic (that you don't even have to worry about with 8's version that has wall hoverwheel wall riding added) doesn't change anything.
>>739225321if i send you a heartfelt essay in response to this reply, would you read it in earnest and respond in good faith? i want to have a genuine discussion about this, i'll be sad if i'm taking my time writing to some dickhead that doesn't even care about what he himself is saying.
>>739221913200cc was a Wii U feature, Anon.
>>739213763>Wall riding is faster than it used to beoh damn, that's actually huge. hated spots like DK Spaceport where wallriding was the obvious intended action, but it was slower than not wallriding.
>>739207268World will be nuts if it gets as much dlc as 8. As it is it's already my favorite Mario Kart.
>>739225752>>739225770I didn't bring turd turnpike up in the fucking first place, another thing the actual schizos do on this site is put words in your fucking mouth so they can strawman you, but if idiots were going to I'm going to point out how even the most basic fucking highway tracks in old games still had more actual turns and real track design than the clusterfuck of shit the banal rally courses in world do. if you could think in anything but smug nigger reaction images or seethe about sony you could probably have figured that out on your ownalso I'm gonna let you in on a little fucking secret, you can pick a different fucking track and even cup in the old games and avoid the straight line design and only race 3 laps on the good tracks instead of being fucking forced to have about half your fucking track be the empty highway but apparently I didn't play the old fucking games but you fucking faggots did.
>>739225962>also I'm gonna let you in on a little fucking secret, you can pick a different fucking trackyou know you can do that in this game too
>>739206689It's also funny how much people want to push the narrative that the game is dead when I get full lobbies all the time lel.
>>739225752also what mechanics are here you're engaging with exactly? you wallrode on one fucking bus to get barely a boost bad worth of speed boost. you're also not grinding on the fucking suspension lines or the siderails which I'm sure you have some magic faggotnigger cope on how I know about that despite not palying the game. you missed a good couple of actual trick points but its okay you played the game as per your next webm of the same fucking shit you won't be addressing>>739226068no you can't nigger they patched out the fucking method to do 3 laps online nigger I know this somehow despite not playing the game ya fucking nigger. they """"""fixed"""""""" it by increasing the odds but its still a baseline fucking chance of forcing a rally option instead of enabling that as an option but again did not play the game wonder how the fuck I know that magically whoop de fucking doo
>>739225820To tell the truth, I don't really know the reason why I dislike the game the way I do, I feel like I used wall riding and rail grinding as an excuse why I dislike it but I disliked it even before those shortcuts were found. I just didn't find it fun to play.I think for me, the removal of inside drift and my favorite character just soured me on the game even before it came out. So I'll concede that wall riding and rail grinding is a good idea, but too easily abusable.
>>739226153>no you can't nigger>versus to pick whatever track you want counts for the old games not this one... BECUASE IT JUST DOESN'T OKAYalso goddamn you're a whiny nigger
>>739226153>nigger they patched out the fucking method to do 3 laps online nigger>lies online>boldly with prideBeen playing regular races all week.Got plenty of 3 lap tracks.You niggers quite literally do NOT know wtfh you are talking about, nor play the game.And it shows given you just seethe over 'muh intermissions' when there is a shit ton of variety to them to begin with.You lost snoygger.
>>739206689>one of the best in the serieshow would you rank them
>>739206689>they still haven't put the music on the music app
>>739206689It's literally just MK8 again, but adds>the world's most unnecessary open world just to pad the playtime and inflate Switch 2 numbers (also 100% if the open world didn't exist, the game would run fine on Switch 1)>intermission races due to the open world, and then Nintendo FORCED intermission races on people when they didn't like them>in-race parkour that incentivizes you to just hop around like a madman and turn each "race" into a clusterfuck, when stunts were a fine balance between effort, skill, and actually racing>the worst Rainbow Road of the franchise, as it's literally a movie where you hold A the whole time and barely do anything else, not even the gimmick parkour stuff (play it with the music turned off, I dare you.)>double the number of racers, making the clusterfuck worse and forcing each track to become 2x wider to make up for the mess, and that includes ruining a lot of classic tracks along the way>a way lower skill floor by slowing everything down by a fucking lot, making the game shit if you don't do all the parkour stuff and get constant boosts>a way higher skill ceiling if you're using and abusing all the meta shitThe parts I like:>costumes for racers (should've been in MK8, tbqh)>the wide variety of racers>most of the music>>739211691Myles was a massive gigahuge red flag. Doesn't matter if it was overblown, having some memey jokester nerd guy show up in a Prime game, let alone a Prime trailer is something Metroid fans don't even joke about, and the fact a dev thought that was a good idea was beyond shocking, causing a bunch of us to go into denial.>he's just for the tutorial>he's the stupid guy that'll get killed from his incompetence after this cutscene...then we saw the health bar, and signs of the feds being around late game.Bonus: Far as anyone can tell, the Feds were going to talk 100x as much but their lines were cut late into development too, theoretically as late as the Myles backlash.
>>739226537NTA but:1. World (Having a world built around the tracks with various routes to race through and secrets to discover gives it a feel that you're really driving around the Mushroom Kingdom than in a theme park version; on top of the new charge jump mechanic making it distinctly more Mario-like than previous Mario Karts as well. It also has some of the strongest track quality divided among the cups; who knew Mushroom and Flower Cups could be so good in a modern Mario Kart. On top of that most of the intermissions, or routes as they're actually called, are really solid.)2. 8DX (Most tracks out of any Mario Kart, but the quality of the BCP ones are questionable and drags the game down. Great battle mode.)3. MK7 (To this day, MK7 sports one of the highest nitro and retro track quality of all Mario Karts.)4. MK8 (Good track selection, and better Item RNG than Wii)5. MKWii (Item RNG pulls it down a lot despite being excellent otherwise, and being the one to introduce the trick system.)6. MKDD (Very weird Mario Kart, but by no means bad. Docking it points for introducing the winged variant of the Blue Shell that would terrorize the next two Mario Karts though. Excellent battle mode.)7. MKDS (Good for it's time, decent Mario Kart brought down by a terrible retro track lineup. Good battle mode.)8. MKSC (Refined Super Mario Kart. Surprisingly stellar track quality, though the returning SNES tracks are worsely done than even DS's line of retro tracks.)9. MK64 (The jump to 3D. Surprisingly holds up with a number of decent tracks, with the strongest Mushroom Cup until 8 and World, and the jank giving rise to some impressive shortcuts to take. Also to date has the best traditional balloon battle mode because the track selection includes Block Fort with no timer.)10. SMK (The one that started it all. Also still holds up despite a mixed quality track selection.)
>>739226368he's still stuck on june 2025 shitposting copypastawonder if he'll update or just keep lying
>>739226537Double Dash, Super Circuit, SNES, and N64 aren't even worth ranking.The best one is either World, or it's 8 Deluxe with a ton of DLC. The other two good ones are Wii and 7. DS is a nice little gem but it's antiquated by now.
>>739228856Why the Double Dash hate?It was a good time.
>>739229069Why play Double Dash. DS is outdated too, but you can do a bunch of missions.
I miss my peachette
world desperately needs to add in a classic mode with classic tracks, the ability to choose how many racers you want from 8 to 12 to 16 to 24 and especially add back in the Miis, that was bullshit to cut them even more bullshit to to not have paratroopa as one of the mob characters or the koopalings, I really don't give a shit that donkey kong got fucked over with no diddy, dixie, cranky, k.rool,void, cranky or that lanky chick whose name I forget, I'm not furry enough to wanna fuck that
>>739229774>add back in the Miisif Tomodachi does really well, I could see them allowing for them to be racers. As far as I know, that game allows you to import Mii from every source, Switch, Wii, Wii U, 3DS,
>>739226368>they fixed the game>you didnt play the gamenot him but you're a stupid fucking lying cunt. over 60% of your time spent playing mkw online is driving on the connecting highway tracks. they didnt fix shit. multiplayer in this game tongues my anus (just like you).people want a way to play 3 lap races and you absolute faggots defending nintendo and saying that they fixed the game should hang yourselves.
>>7392299973 lap races are boring as shit, go play 8 Deluxe until the end of time.
>>739229861what do you mean if? it's doing pretty will as is, through I base that entirely because a bunch of youtubers and vtubers are all over that game in my feed, some pink thing made one for bowser and got cucked by her mom, now that I think on it, all the clips I'm seeing now are women no men are playing this game as far as I know
>>739207268>You wouldn't have said that if you played it in 2014 on the Wii U.the only problems with the original release of MK8 on Wii U was there being no battle courses, only garbage versions of the regular racing tracks, and the firehopping exploit.
>>739230098idk what I mean lol, I never think about those types of games much because they're gay as fuck. So if I had to guess, like 10 million, if it does bookoo numbers they might slot those little retards into the game.
>>739230025>they fixed the game ages ago there are plenty of 3 lap races online!wrong. lies. >uhh uhh actually 3 lap races suck anyway its great that you cant play them!out-of-this-world pathetic
>>739230193don't forget single items, it was a better time
>>739230308>everyone is the same personLapped races are super gay. World lets me trick off the entire game world. It's much more satisfying then racing in a predetermined circle like a little retard.
>>739229668Same, I blame Bowsette for Nintendo being reluctant to put Peachette in more games.
>>739230481you trick off walls and rail grind more in the 3 lap courses than you do on the highway tracks, you complete fuckwit.
>>739230761negatory, retardstick to your laps
You know it's strange seeing people complain about world's mechanics being too complicated when it's the same game Nintendo tossed in a rewind feature letting everybody practice stuff with ease. At a point it becomes a skill issue because most of the tricks are easy to learn.
>>739229668she woulda looked so good in this game with peachs updated model and those sexy thigh high boots..
>>739206689>>Hear nothing but bad things about a gameFrom who? /v/? Never listen to /v/
i want 3 lap versions of daisy's palace and the reverse tracks
