Thread 712618973

Anyone feel like they artificially limited themselves by having every single course have to be part of the open world? Not only does it mean they can't add any retro tracks, but they can't get as creative with the new tracks because they have to fit in the open world.

I hope if they add more courses they aren't required to be part of the map. Because how do you have this amazing remix and then not have the greatest course in Mario Kart history in the game.

Does he know?

>>712619051
No I do not.

>>712619495
14 out of the 32 tracks are retro tracks.

>>712619716
Well that seems normal for Mario Kart, why wouldn't they be?

This is my first Mario Kart game. I thought it would be competitive. Does the switch version have leaderboards and such? Seems a bit barebones.

I feel more like nutendo has no fucking clue how to design video games anymore.

I'm having a blast

>>712620279
More like nutendo because their characters make me wanna NUT

I'm blasting Rosalina

>>712620226
There are leaderboards.

Based. Dat ass tho

Maybe because when you charge MSRP people expect new content.

>>712620113
Maybe because when you charge $80 MSRP people expect new content.

>>712620794
What if you just charged MSRP, would that change things?

>>712620794
Just because retro tracks exists they don't play the same due to all the new mechanics.

Is this how you spend your life, seething about people having fun with games you'll never play?

>>712620794
>you charge $80 MSRP

I didn't pay $80. It came with the system. Kek stay mad at my life.

Go the fuck back.

Yes, the race WILL start soon. The race for which of my sperm will reach her egg after I ejaculate violently in her vagina.

I dont understand why GP needs to be the way it is when knockout rally exists. That satisfies the need for interconnected courses and a cross country race type feel while showing off the open world, that along with free roam is enough. GP could have just been normal 3 laps, and you have to go out of your way to get 3 laps even online.
At least they could have added classic GP to single player and classic race to online
I also feel like they heavily underestimated how many people play MK for the single player content

/v/trannies are seething.

>>712621004
Inspo.

>>712620951
No, you just paid 400 bucks for a copy that doesn't even set Nintendo back any production costs because it's digital. Moron.

Many such cases. I'm having a blast.

>>712620951
Goon for Rosa

>>712621004
You're ass blasted

>>712621130
Why is the aliasing so shit in these screenshots, I thought this system was supposed to do 4k.

>>712621004
It's not that deep.

>>712621052
I assume they were worried people might ignore the open world, so they're forcing us into it.
I want an option to just race on the tracks, because they're genuinely great. The straights in between are fine, but the tracks are very good and I only get to do one lap.

How I feel about Linear vs Open World in every single case I've ever seen.
What "fun" does it ultimately add to be "seamless" if making it seamless takes up a tremendously higher amount of resources to figure out, and likely has you lose sight of the quality of individual tracks.
I really hate how boilerplate a lot of actual tracks look. Because they had to make it all interconnected, the "bridging" sections of the overworld have to fit with the aesthetics of the destinations, so you can tell they sometimes downgraded the destinations with what assets they had from their "tileset", and made the track identical to the original game, but the aesthetic is missing almost all of the flair.
Wario Stadium comes to mind. It's the Nintendo DS track IIRC, but it looks completely different in World. Choco Mountain also looks totally weird.
If they had scoped the game to only have tracks, then they would've developed all of the individual assets they needed for every track, like they did in all previous games. But because it's Open World they developed "template design" and remade levels with slop.

Images are compressed when loading to the internet. Calm down son.

>>712622130
>open world is le bad!

Seek help schizo. The game is great.

>>712622310
I love how more balanced the items are in World. In previous Mario Karts, once you got your item you were locked into a mindset of its use and functionality. But it World it seems like every item is constantly useful and a potential game changer.

>>712621004
Is it just me or is it not that deep bro? These NPC hunters are wild. I'm genuinely curious why these people care about such a non-issue. It's such a weird comment, like what are you doing here? Normal people don't care about this kind of online controversy.

But then i had some inspo and figured, hey, I'm having a blast!

>>712621004
This reads more like schizo cope from a seether who can't deal with reality.

>>712622425
But you still run victory rush for 2 laps and get blueshelled and end up in 3rd place 50 feet from the goal line.

>>712622816
>can't refute it
you make it so easy

>>712622310
It's great but somehow not as much of a gut-punch level of "great" as MK8 felt.
I played through it. Enjoyed it. It's very very good obviously. But I'm left feeling like a lot of it didn't really stick with me. And MK8 had me mesmerized by tracks like Mount Wario, and Thwomp Ruins.

I didn't think the tracks were very memorable in this one. Somehow there's so much variety everywhere that it just kinda felt like I was watching Space Jam 2, as in, hours of corporate "franchise-slop" for brand-advertisement. The game feels commercial.
Nintendo is losing their identity.

>>712623006
>needing to refute AI garbage
It refutes itself.

>>712621052
This is so fucking obvious that it boggles my mind that Nintendo did GP the way they did.

>>712621004
This is a non-issue

>>712621004
Weird comment.

>>712621004
This. So much this.

>>712622260
Compression does not add aliasing. That's not what aliasing is.

What did he meant by this

>>712621004
The last one is correct, at least in regards stupid internet controversy like 10,000 people all shouting "I'm going to boycott the new Pokemon game!!!" in unison and then the new Pokemon game outsells nearly every previous entry.

>>712621004
>that last bulletpoint
the operative word was "normal", i.e. the kind of person who would not make an image like this
