Will it ever be topped?
Nope
>>740303416Thank you.
>>740303156still the GOAT cart racer
I love this game and the remake to bitsI dont care for crash platformer games much, beat them as a kid, never looked back, meh.
>>740303416>>740303451But why?
Naughty Dog's magnum opus
>>740303496Its too hardcore, kart racers are designed so that kids can compete, but not CTR.CTR is the FZero GX of kart racers
Will /v/ ever actually play video games, together?
So the people just gave up on finishing the decomp, huh?
crossworlds topped it
>>740303683I hate how everybody does the skips in Oxide and Hot Air Skyway, it's much more fun to actually drive the fucking track.
The recompile and online will be never ever. Just play this. It's cool for autism and got loads of custom tracks. https://www.projectsaphi.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDDB9OhmWnY
>>740304220Sonic and Sega All-stars Racing topped it
Crashfags are so delusional, your franchise is dead because it was SHIT
>>740306671Nah it was pretty good its dead because his parents abandoned him
>>740306767Delusion and cope as usual
>>740303595>Its too hardcoreit sold 10 millions of copies
>>740306836Talking about skill ceiling here
>>740306858>skill ceilingthats irrelevant because anybody can play the campaignthats why it sold so much

>>740307218Why bother designing a track when you'll just put skips everywhere?
>>740307323The development team is made up of a bunch of idiots
>>740307323>>740307426You can still drive the normal route if you wish. The game is "dead" so it makes sense to design for the small community that is left.
>>740307323>>740307426That's the mistake all people making skill-based kart racing games fall into. They design shit based on speedrunning faggotry like unintended shortcuts and exploits instead of focusing on actual good track design and driving mechanics.
>>740307614>You can still drive the normal route if you wishBy choosing to be unoptimal in a genre about cutting as much as possible. Playing against anybody would mean you're forced to drive like this unless you play with a gentleman's agreement not to exploit the track's design; only in this case is worse because they put these on the track on purpose.
>>740307651Many CTR customs are built around mechanics like speedghosts, reserves and blue fire preservation. Fuck TK2 for having no other mechanics than "bro just stack reserves".
>>740307763Yes that's every game ever... All games have some glitches and exploits. Atleast here it is built into the track so it is consistent unlike something like this Papu strat... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUZZ4sHj7Nw
>>740307614It's funny how Trackmania, despite being a very difficult franchise, was able to develop a community that keeps it active, unlike Crash Nitro Fueled and F-Zero GX, which suffered such pathetic demise.trackmania turbo is the hardest racing game of all time if you go for full completion
>>740307843>Yes that's every game everyou cannot do this in gran turismoyou cannot ignore the track because thats asinine design for a racing game
>>740303156CTR still tops all kart racers and it’s not even close..makes up for losing the platformer race
>>740307932It's not ignoring the track. It is part of the track. Especially in that custom because it was quite literally designed to be there.
>>740308004I always saw the CTR tracks and time trials as natural ways that the game teaches you to pursue being a better player. Skill expression is one of the unironically coolest things about CTR
>>740308004>It is part of the track.its a stupid track thendrifting in a straight line is stupid and i dont think even weebs like that kind of stuffthats why sim racing games won the war against arcade racing games
>>740308189>so stupid even mario kart tried to steal that too>just like magnetic driving
>>740308189People like different things. Why don't you go do the thing you like instead of hating the things you do not like? Oh right I'm on /v/. You probably have a Concord or God of Woke thread to catch.
>>740308149>I always saw the CTR tracks and time trials as natural ways that the game teaches you to pursue being a better player.every racing game does thatrichard burns rally is still active for a reason
Do the nitro fueled mechanics make the game "too" easy compared to psx CTR?(Blue flame, U turn not depleting your reserves, etc)
>>740303156>"high skill gameplay">consists of skipping as much of the track as possible via some dumb shit jump combo where you have to finger your ass, hold left thumbstick, and hit L1 at the right timehow do we fix this?
>>740308284I like to rub it in your face that simulation racing games won and not your disgusting DEAD arcade genre
>>740305043Clean.
>>740306767>His parentsI don't know about this. Looks to me like there is one specific developer responsible for killing him for good.
>>740308376Fortnite and roguelites won. Pop and rap music won. Football won.
>>740303156Not even the best one of its generation. Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Sonic R, Chocobo Racing are all better.
>>740303156CBT
>>740307782I really like TK2 even if it oversimplified what was great about CTRNF. But I mostly like to play it as a single player game because as you say, "bro just stack reserves" and the kind of terrible items and HP don't make for a super fun experience multiplayer.Since there's no speed limit and modded maps are not really playtested much, basically you fuck with collision to do jumps and after a point you kind of aren't driving anymore lol. There's also the fact that 1 small fuck up and you're out of the race, but that's not a big deal to me at least since it's kind of what happens in real life (and I got used to it when playing CTR NF and hitting a nitro while battling for first).
>>740308493if the games between ctr and 4 were better 4 wouldnt have been its do or die moment
>>740308341It's not really comparable in my opinion, Blue Flame and U turn make the game a completely different one in terms of gameplay, and I think it strikes the perfect balance between OG CTR skill and just going fast as fuck at all possible times.
>>740308535I just can't see TK2 working for casuals. Infinite reserves system just isn't good idea and the weapons suck too. They also refuse to add any actual new content and the whole game is just port slop. For time trialing it's fine but the simplified mechanics mean that you have to play so perfect to compete with the best it's annoying.
>>740308738I'm not gonna lie, the original CTR filters me the fuck up, nitro fueled is way more accessible. It's 100% a skill issue, I never wrapped my head around the "meta" on the psx game.
Sweaty sex with Coco, Nu-Tawna, or Nina after a race.
>>740308687...No. Sales wise, Twinsanity was the lowpoint.Crash was alive up until the Radical era where they made the mistake of redesigning the characters and turning the game into a God of War clone. He came back with the remakes but then they made the same mistakes in Crash 4 and now he's dead again.
>Time to remind them
>>740309349>Everyone loves Twinsanity>Did poorly in salesMany such cases.I know Crash of the Titans was... It was okay at best, I got fucking stuck at a specific part and almost stopped.Mind over Mutant, I think I just couldn't fucking stomach it anymore, even thought the cutscenes were interesting.
>still no PC port of Nitro FueledSad
>>740307323>Make a single player game>Game is hard but there are shortcuts you can learn and use as you progress>Make a multiplayer game>Everyone is forced to use the shortcuts if they don't want to get DNF so the rest of the map might as well not existI wish they'd just admit it and make a different map for each mode
>>740309537its a dead franchisecope with it
>>740309602What part of the CTR having no players in 2026 do you not understand? Or is your complaint directed towards Naughty Dog for not being able to patch their game after players discovered unofficial shortcuts and exploits?
>>740309486>I got fucking stuck at a specific part and almost stopped.Let me guess, Uka Uka boss fight.
>>740309750No, it was this cave that you got swarmed with a certain type of enemy, the Uka Uka Bossfight sucked but I was close and I cheesed it.>tfw barely remember the game even though it's been only a yearWow.
>>740309537>No pc version of mediocre game with shitty microtransactionsOh what a shame
It's probably my favorite Kart racer but the reserves system is genuinely retarded and ruins the experience of actually playing it with other people online who are more than willing to optimize the fun out of the game.Who are currently typing out an angry reply to this post insinuating that I don't know how the system works or are bad at the game and don't find that way of playing boring
>>740308840All they need is some kind of rubberbanding when playing multiplayer I think, and getting rid of half of the items, and maybe add bananas or TNT.I'm not a top 10 player by any means (unless there's 10 players actively playing lmao) and just like in CTRNF the most fun part is when you're going head to head against another player and you're trying to better your racing line at the risk of fucking up and losing the entire race. I feel like in TK2 those fuckups are way more easy to trigger, and when they don't, it's basically decided by who shot their bazooka + shotgun + whatever enough to kill you first, cuz you're not getting back from a player still going at 160%.>>740309156I got way too used to NF also, I completely lost my skill in the OG, at least OnlineCTR has that Retro mode that kinda makes it work like NF.
>>740309874What a retarded post. >GrindingNigger I literally just played the game for fun for almost 600 hours and got every cosmetic without even trying.If you want an actual fucking argument against the game it should be the terrible loading times, optimization and fickle online, but of course you wouldn't know since those are gameplay-related and you only care about shitposting
The Activision Crash games were all garbage. All of them. Until you accept this, the franchise will continue being a rotting corpse.Reject the slop. Demand better.
>>740309638Is that not, specifically, what we are here to do
>>740310132>600 hoursmasochism
>>740310220every crash game is garbagesonic has better games than this rotting corpse
>>740310132Why did you stop playing? Ran out of cosmetic to unlock?
>740310132Not even worth the YOU
>>740307651>Posts the shittiest racing game of the gen where 76% of the races get decided by who didn't encounter a bug wins.
>>740310220Calls it slop posts mario kart 8 reaction image. Oh, the irony
>>740310016Multiplayer rubberbanding wouldn't solve the boring items and 0 identity problems. And they say they won't be adding fun items because "those are what made competitive CTR:NF toxic". 200% reserves just doesn't work with items or any balance or track design. In reality: they will never add or change anything. It's the same vibe coded mess ever since closed beta and just being milked slowly for low effort $$$.
>>740310586Dead IPs have no power here.
>>740310664>those are what made competitive CTR:NF toxicha ha hadelusional motherfuckers
>>740310664Oh and I wanted to add "while modders do the work". The modding scene of that game is so cringe. People port literally every model they have in their hands into the game and then be like wow so cool X is in yooo UJDKAXDXDHSGSDJHDJHSDA
>>740310132same. had an empty pitstop before the second GP. the people crying about it, barely played it yet think they deserve all the unlocks.
>>740303156The original CTR? NeverI've yet to see a cart game with the same speed sensation, dynamism and singleplayer mode
ive never gotten the blue flame boost
>>740310331Switch playerbase dwindled and stopped getting matches without having to wait a long time.
>>740310578Almost as if the webm was accesory to his point of nu-kart games being shit.
>>740303156SASRT was the closest.
>>740312985Kirby Air Riders is not. But it also stands alone on that area.
>>740310802Lately the mods have been very good. They have custom voices and animations and all kinds of alternate customs, but yeah some are just "I downloaded this meme model from sketchfab and that's it"
>>740310578thats crossworlds? lmao
