So I've been hearing some criticisms about mario kart world
I haven't played it, but I've been watching some footage and had some weird vibes, and then watched a video breaking down the issues. Apparently

>The in-between sections are just extremely boring, mostly straight lines, and in some instances comprise more of the time spent playing than the actual race you're supposed to be doing
>The items are ridiculously OP. Couple this with the sluggish feel of driving and it's basically become an RNG kids game. Driving skill is basically meaningless because "getting mario karted" is on a whole different level now. The winner of most races will be the guy in 12th place on the final lap who got 2 good items.
>All of the cool new driving mechanics (grinding, wall jumping etc) are mostly meaningless because in order to do them you have to take deliberately crappier routes

Do you agree with this?

>>712696934 (OP)
1. they arent boring there are things constantly happening. however it doesnt test racing skill as much as the proper course
2. skill at the game is still very important. people say that driving skill doesn't matter but almost no one online is actually skilled at the game, with all the new tech and shortcuts.
3. time trial world records use rail/wall grinding quite a lot and increasingly as people get better at it. it's not slower, you get a boost by doing it.

>>712697353
also, the wall/rail grinding can be a strategy against all the items being thrown around

Have looks good except for the drive to place for one lap bullshit

It's literally Game of the Decade
Wait for DLCs and patches

>>712698927
>game released in a barebones incomplete state
>wait 5 years + $100 dollars of DLC for this game to be worth your free time

So glad I didn't get a Switch 2 on launch.

for me it's the aesthetics
>colors slightly desaturated
>too clean corporate feel to the world
like wow, the magical mario world has mundane capitalism. How exciting!

>>712696934 (OP)
doesn't mario kart still use p2p? imagine paying nintendo to use your own wifi.

>>712696934 (OP)
>The in-between sections are just extremely boring, mostly straight lines
I agree that they're overall pretty simple (though I do genuinely think there are quite a few cool ones like the drives up to Airship Fortress and the Shy Guy Bazaar ones that let you drive through Daisy's Palace), but this isn't really an issue on it's own. The excitement here comes from keeping a consistently good placement in the pack, coming out of an intermission in a high spot for the actual track genuinely feels REALLY good, especially in Knockout Tour.
>and in some instances comprise more of the time spent playing than the actual race you're supposed to be doing
THIS is an issue though. No matter how much I like them, the actual course being 1 lap is a sin 99% of the time and there should be an option to just pick a course and have it be the three laps. Hopefully they patch it in given MK8DX was actually kinda good about patching in QoL during the BCP.
>The items are ridiculously OP.
The only items I'd call outright overpowered is Golden Shroom. The rest of them simply mirror their power in earlier entries if not coming out significantly weaker (Bullet Bill gets less time on average and can't spin people out anymore, Lightning replaces its long debuff for a short overall stun that only affects people ahead of the user, Blue Shell dodge window became way bigger, etc.)
>Couple this with the sluggish feel of driving
It...isn't? Even as one of the certified suckers who owned a Wii U and thus mostly only played 200CC for the past literal decade I think it feels fine, great even when using the tech right. 200CC should still come back ASAP though.
>All of the cool new driving mechanics (grinding, wall jumping etc) are mostly meaningless because in order to do them you have to take deliberately crappier routes
Objectively false info spread by dipshits who don't want to practice the courses. Great ? Ruins, Sky High Sundae, and Wario Stadium are basically snapped in half by them.

>>712696934 (OP)
The in-between sections aren't everyone's cup of tea, but they still have a lot of turns and corners to cut, and the straight parts generally have a lot of obstacles and hazards, or ramps, grind rails, boost pads, and waves to get speed boosts. With 24 players it also feels like a big battleground so it only feels uneventful if manage to keep first. It's also really cool just how many different paths there are, there are 119, double if you go on them the opposite way, and they're pretty long. It would take you hours to drive through every possible track just once. So if you want to be technical it's several times more content than any Mario Kart.
You can still play VS mode for traditional 3 lap races, and online about half the races are 3 lap races since a lot of people pick random, and random automatically makes it a 3 lap race instead of connecting a course to the last course you played.

If you're an intermediate player you'll still get fucked by items and often get a bad placement, but still win more than the average player. I'll sometimes get 1st place a couple times in a row. But pro players will win pretty consistently. The grinding and wall jumping mechanics are not meaningless, they're hard to pull off but you can already see crazy shortcuts online that will undoubtedly give the experienced players a big advantage. And we're only 10 days in, just imagine later on.

>>712698998
Deluxe released with the first DLC included, and the booster pass years later added 48 courses, literally double the courses, for only $25. Granted a lot of them are tour tracks which people are not a fan of.

>>712698927
Has Nintendo ever fixed balance problems in a patch? I wouldn't hope for uch on that front.

>>712702597
I'm actually thankful for them adding Tour tracks because I'm never going to play Tour so it's nice to have them immortalized in a real game and not some mobile phone bullshit that will be shutdown some day.

>>712702757
>Has Nintendo ever fixed balance problems in a patch?
yes, several times

>>712702757
They killed the Waluigi Wigger Wednesday combo. But that just ended up creating the yoshit meta instead.

>>712702084
>THIS is an issue though. No matter how much I like them, the actual course being 1 lap is a sin 99% of the time and there should be an option to just pick a course and have it be the three laps. Hopefully they patch it in given MK8DX was actually kinda good about patching in QoL during the BCP.
The reason they did this is because the vast majority of the content is the open world routes between the courses, there's 119 long routes that would takes hours to drive through all of it just once, and they don't want all their work to be neglected just for the regular 3 lap courses, so it takes priority. How people feel about them prioritizing that is a different story, but I get it.

>>712702838
There will always be a meta, some numbers crunching spastic will figure it out sooner or later.

>>712703045
That's to be expected. I'm just saying they will try to balance, it won't necessarily end up actually helping the game.

>>712702813
It's better than nothing but kind of sucks if you play online, because you're forced to play them, and a lot of them are not that interesting, and visually they look worse than the first 48 courses.

This is what retards complaining about le low speed, wide roads and items want mario kart to turn into.

>>712702813
It's better than nothing but kind of sucks if you play online, because you're forced to play them, and a lot of them are not that interesting, and visually they look mediocre because they're just ripped from a mobile game with little to no improvements instead of being made from scratch for Mario Kart 8.

>>712703138
I'd play that. What is it?

>>712696934 (OP)
>I haven't played it, but

Then I don't care what you think. Next thread.

>>712696934 (OP)
I only really play knockout tour so the in between sections don't really bother me. Sometimes the new mechanics can help on the last portions of a race but most of the time it doesn't.

>>712703220
I was okay with Sydney Sprint, but part of that is just the music. The rest I don't usually play, especially Tokyo Blur.

>>712702838
That reminds me of Yoshi Touch & Go for the DS. Basically the slowest endless runner of all time and you can see everything there is to see in a couple minutes. And yet it was a full priced game, which I think was $35 back then. So I guess Nintendo is no stranger to selling garbage tech demos for full price.

>>712703138
I enjoy 200cc from time to time but people don't understand that it takes away from Mario Kart's focus on items, because it's not practical to use items efficiently at that speed and it also bypasses certain mechanics of the game just from the sheer amount of speed, which is why 150cc is the standard way to play.

>>712696934 (OP)
Kind of yeah. I love Mario Kart but I'm not feeling this one. Track design is simplistic and easy to navigate, and the excessive item spam just makes the game a total shitshow of chance. Basically nothing you do matters until the final lap. It barely feels like a racing game anymore.

>>712696934 (OP)
The game encourages you to slipstream and keep up with people. If you aren't slipstreaming or have insufficient coins, then get fucked.
Secondly, the items are chaotic for a reason. You have a lobby with 24 people and you are racing to get to first place. The item distribution balance is a necessity to come out on top. This isn't MK8 where you get ridiculously OP items if you are back of the line. You have a chance to get anything moderately good (outside of the bullet) to stay in your current position.
Thirdly, the new mechanic I.E wall-riding and grinding keeps your speed at the top, If you are just "going straight" when there are rails and other paths you're doing something wrong. People will pass you up because they have the opportunity to keep at top speed while you're driving slow as molasses.

>>712703223
Project Turboblast. It only has a demo for now

>>712703138
I really hope you can disable the camera tilt during drifts shit

>>712696934 (OP)
>become an RNG kids game
>become

>>712703045
>There will always be a meta, some numbers crunching spastic will figure it out sooner or later.
The number crunching is going on and something that stops the game from having a set meta is that almost every character has hidden values that give them advantages. The snowman drives faster on ice, the cow drives faster on dirt roads, the Pianta drives faster in water. So there are certain specific characters and karts that are optimal for specific tracks, but there's no character that's optimal for everything. Since you're locked in to a character before they pick the track, you can't optimize your character for it.

it feels like a mario kart game made for people who are bad at mario kart

>>712703845
Thanks, looks great, but I see that webm managed to hide the fact that it also has an EXTREMELY fuckable robot. Seems like a thing they'd want people to know about.

>>712696934 (OP)
>Do you agree with this?

>>712696934 (OP)

Then your thread is worthless, kill yourself.
MKW is great, everyone is whining because they're so used to mk8 for over 10 years and can't adapt to new things.

>I haven't played it, but

>>712704863

>>712696934 (OP)
>The winner of most races will be the guy in 12th place on the final lap who got 2 good items.

Why is that bad. You can be in 20th place in the last lap and still win. That's fucking fantastic fun.

So much better than Mario Kart 8 where you would have NO HOPE of ever catching the leaders.

>>712705058
Yep. Anyone whining is just a metafag upset that they can't frontrun and gain a fucking half a lap lead over the 2nd with no effort.

>>712705058
>Why is most of the match being pointless bad

>>712705058

>it feels like a mario kart game made for people who are bad at mario kart
This sums it up perfectly, honestly.

I don't know what it is about modern Nintendo, but they just don't want to incorporate any genuine sense of challenge or skill into their games anymore. Almost everything worthwhile has been severely dumbed-down, filled to brim with pointless padding and busywork, or simplified for even the dumbest of casuals to claim a forced win. Makes me dread what they'll do to the next Smash title, Splatoon, or any major upcoming multiplayer game of theirs, for that matter.

Very perplexing business tactic on Nintendo's part, when even normie tastes are getting more sophisticated when it comes to challenge and difficulty in their games.

>>712706021
>>712704405
You don't even own a switch 2.

>>712696934 (OP)
I only played for a couple of hours when a friend brought it over (because I'm not paying that much for 1 game) but I did notice all of those issues
None of it was bad enough to make the game unfun or anything, but they seem like the kind of issues that would hurt the game in the long run, replayability-wise.
"Decent, but underwhelming" seems to be the general stance, and that's about what I felt in my short time with it. Don't trust anybody telling you it's fantastic or dogshit, they're all fanboys.

>>712696934 (OP)
I place top 6 in pretty much every race online. It’s a skill issue if you can’t

>>712706532
No you don't, you fucking liar. Enjoy your (You), next time put effort into your bait.

>>712701570
I think it's a byproduct of the open world. Other Mario Kart games could have bespoke lighting for each track, but World needs to use really similar lighting setups to accomodate for the day/night cycle.

The more I play, the more it feels extreme in its strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes, it feels like it has what it takes to be the best Mario Kart. More complex courses, plenty of cool tricks and ways to play skillfully. But you don't always get that, because it's even more chaotic than before and not every track is complex enough to feel worthwhile. So you have some races where you feel fucking awesome for dodging shit and making those tough shortcuts. Then you have races where you're driving straight and sometimes drifting, and you can't do much else without screwing yourself over.

i'll more than likely enjoy the open world just because it caters to my super specific autism of open worlds in racing games and the gigantic plethora of remixes

>>712702597
>ported from heavily micro'd phone game without even touching up the visuals

False.

>>712707196
It was slop, this was nintendo's last good era

>>712707282
>wii
>good
The bait keeps getting lazier.

I think it’s alright. I like playing with /v/ on the weekends. Knockout tours are way more fun than the actual races, but 3 laps on a track is still nice. Battle mode is a bit undercooked again, not as bad as 8 Wii U but it’s definitely the 2nd worst they’ve ever done. The jumps, rail riding, wall riding, etc. actually have skill involved which is pretty nice. It has way less magnetism than Sonic Riders, which surprised me honestly. I’ll also defend the free roam because the P-Switch challenges are actually fun, but the stickers are used very poorly. I’ll say I got lied to with this because my friend kept telling me how you could put stickers on the cars and all that, but you actually just select one sticker as your icon and then it’s put somewhere on the cart for each vehicle. There’s also an outfit shortage for some character like DK and even Toad who deserves way more, and the tracks are just alright. Some are great, Wario’s Stadium is way better than the N64 version (I don’t hate that track at all but it’s always just been a whatever track with the big jump being the best part). Starview Peak (?) and Dandelion Depths are horrible.

>>712707282
What's all this anime shit, where's all the games for real men?

>>712706706
If you haven’t figured out how to bag items yet I’m afraid it’s over for you

>>712707547
Yeah mature games like wolfenstein youngblood and god of boy

>>712707542
I honestly hate that a bunch of characters don't have any costumes. I'd even prefer they just give them a generic hat or something.

>>712707956
I tried playing the penguin and the kart wheel was clipping into his stomach
I dont think they put a ton of thought into the enemy characters

>>712707841
Good examples.

>>712708090
They probably added them for Kamek and someone said "why don't we just add them to the chara select?"

>>712703427
>because it's not practical to use items efficiently at that speed

sounds great

>>712708189
So they're willing to make all those characters playable but they can't have Kamek himself playable? What the fuck?

>>712698927
MK has never been patched in any significant way. They literally don't care about balance.

>>712707132
Not even defending the port but literally most of the visual assets were overhauled. They rebuilt the lighting pipeline, redid the materials, and a bunch of the static geometry is either retextured or remodeled entirely. It’s still lazy, sure, but it’s lazier to pretend “they did nothing” like you stole that opinion off Reddit 3 years ago and forgot the context.

>>712708301
Even for games that do get patched, the patch notes are basically "some adjustments were made" and you have to spend hours figuring out what the fuck they did.

>>712696934 (OP)
>The items are ridiculously OP.
yea but why is that? people always fail to make this connection, but it's precisely because there are so many stretches of just straight road that items are overpowered, because how do you catch up without items in a stretch of the game that does not allow you to mitigate rng with good play? the most egregious example of this is that fucking bridge that goes on for 2 minutes or some shit.

>>712708423
>guys I think dr.mario's sex kicks strong hit comes out a bit faster

This made me realize how long it's been since the last Wolfenstein game, I looked it up and apparently they were gonna make 3 but got sidetracked by the Indiana Jones game which took years because of various factors but thankfully that game was a huge success so they're probably working on 3 right now and it will be announced at some upcoming game festival. I look forward to shooting some Nazis.

I'm so sick of seeing the sweaty ass blooper kart as 90% of the racers

>>712710297
I blame youtube

Rail grinding is either too precise or not precise enough. The amount of times I do these stupid challenges with them and I always overshoot or undershoot it. They put what they think is the optimal distance for jumping between them but I feel like the side jump off a rail always launches me into outer space.

>>712710848
Youtube is to blame for most bad things that have happened in the world.

>>712703138
That looks badass, it's a shame it doesn't have items

>>712696934 (OP)
Not even remotely, most of the criticisms sound like someone trying to make a mountain out of a molehill because they are already buttblasted about the Switch 2 and pricing.
the Intercourse sections are great, anyone who says it's all straight isn't paying any attention, there's lots of variety between them and lots of separate pitfalls even ones you don't get on the other tracks, the entire knockout tour is just these sections and it's great.
>rng
>mario kart
Is this their first Mario Kart or something?
The new driving mechanics are great and open up way more shortcuts, who ever says they suck ass hasn't found shit, there's so many absurdly good shortcuts with a higher skill requirement than ever, skill is only part of it, you also need to plan that route beforehand and hope that nothing gets in your way, you often need to execute a jump and a wall ride within a limited window in order to make use of the shortcut
Yet again I view it as cope, it's like criticizing the game for the literally optional open world driving, at no point in the game do you even have to open the free drive mode, and even then it's great, the visual design, the ability to practice on tracks, and even the small challenges are great additions.

>>712705058
If the guys in the rear are the ones who win, then people will just bag and be in the rear on purpose. You haven't changed anything in the end; you've just made a racing game that doesn't make sense.

>>712710297
Every lobby looks like a squid cult meetup. I swear one dude makes a "Best Meta Kart Setup (v20.2 Patch)" video and suddenly nobody can even breathe unless they're using Bloopie with roller tires and the goddamn cloud glider. Balance in that game is like a fever dream, they pretend there's variety but it’s just different colored paint on the same three setups.

>>712696934 (OP)
The game is fun and all but the balancing is absolutely trash. I tried getting getting 3 stars in 150cc like 20 times and it was absolutely impossible no matter how awesome I was driving, hitting all the right boosts and shortcuts, the CPU would straight-up cheat to overtake me. Then I read online there's some adaptive AI where if you race poorly, the game basically treats you with kiddie gloves. So I tried a knockout race without doing any drifts, tricks, shortcuts or boosts, just regular items, and I won 3 starts first try, like to a ridiculous degree. The game literally rewards you for playing bad, and cheats if you play too skilled, it's retarded, lmao

i was planning on buying a switch 2 and MKW until they revealed the roster. the map prop racers told me how unfocused this game was going to be. also no track creator on an open world begging to be customized is retarded, and the reward system is korok seed bullshit for a 4th time.

does more tricks in the air or their direction mean more speed? also why is flying and staying high up so fucking hard now?

>>712696934 (OP)
From what i got a real big stinker is the "Normal" tracks being screwed by turning into one lap affairs, which ties into the game turning into Mario Kart Intermission. So basically a inability to customize amount of Racers and Laps hurts the game, and that you can''t make your own Rallys.

to me that's the game's main issue

some tracks take advantage of the new mechanics very well and they're super fun to race on, you all know what they are the question mark block ruins, whistletop summit, wario stadium etc but others are just mind numbingly boring making you drive as if it was early days mk8 dx again like choco mountain, peach resort, koopa troopa beach, toad factory and so on

track design even without factoring in the intermissions is very inconsistent which is a shame because despite what shitters and seethers claim the core gameplay is the best it's ever been, it just isn't used to its full potential all the time

I have had it up to here with NPCs, man.

3 stars in 150cc Grand Prix is easy as shit if you have a pulse. Balance your stats better, you can make an enormous lead with a bit of speed investment that the CPU won't even be able to rubberband to close. Hang onto a defensive item at all times and don't get greedy.

Knockout Tour is definitely harder since you have to keep that lead the entire time and there's more opportunities for the CPU to catch up or throw things off, but getting 2 stars consistently is easy and 3 stars is about learning the tracks and shortcuts.

The little timmy mode is definitely real but it's not fun at all to play that way so I haven't bothered. If you're really assblasted about a particular blue shell or something on a great run (even though the CPU can't catch you even with a blue shell if you're playing properly) just tap the rewind button when it's about to land or something as a compromise. You still lose ground but not as much.

>>712696934 (OP)
If you're really fucking good on some tracks front running is viable and will usually finish before a blue shell even comes out. If it's intermission or a track with no good rail tech then yes your right 12th will get first

we have left the 2nd golden age of video games. people are reverting (or sticking with) older titles while they watch all of the new toys come and go. nintendo, while still making great games, is still below their previous peaks in regards to sovl and focus.

I've spent about 40 hours on it so far, I don't agree with any of that. The only one that is sort of valid is that the items are OP, but it's Mario Kart, they're supposed to be.

>>712728094
Only viable on 2 tracks

>>712728106
dont know who that is and im not interested in supporting this maria fart at this present time. im sure ill come around to it after some updates and hopefully additional characters that arent road obstacles lazily thrown onto a kart.

Not really, I think Baby Daisy is low key the one that people play the most

>>712720201
I did it as a way to emjoy the aress and have it done, I prefer to try hard online

>>712715250
I miss wheelies and specifically Wii's inward drift for bikes

>>712728961
Why Baby Daisy?

I really wish it just had a "Classic mode" for both on and offline.
12 racers, 3 laps of a track, 10 coins max, no inbetween travel. Generally, whenever I'm playing online, more than half of the lobby will vote for a random track anyway, which I'm sure is deliberate so we actually get to race on the racetracks.
Also, I want flag nationalities back so I can call other players more accurate slurs.

>it's basically become an RNG kids game.
That's what it's always been I don't know what you were expecting.

24 players is utter calamity

>>712727991
That’s what I like about Bowser’s Castle, usually I’m not a fan of those stages but it’s both multilayered and the blue fire mode feels pretty fast, but also allows multiple different shortcuts that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. It makes me hope 200CC could make certain courses stand out more.

Is this truly what /v/ has become?

>>712732978
as opposed to what, mindlessly consuming a product? especially in this current gaming market? it only runs on a mario kart machine as well.

>>712697353
>time trial world records use rail/wall grinding quite a lot
You mean the actual circuits, since those are the ones with time trials. Which ties into the intermission complaints. Yes rails and wall rides will be faster when they serve as a cut for a certain turns. The problem is precisely when you have large portions of the game without turns because then you won't have the cuts that the wall and rail rides become faster for.

Getting ahead of yourselves.

>>712696934 (OP)
Items aren't OP, they're actually nerfed since 8D. On the other hand there's a fuckton of them because of how many players they are.
Everything else you said is accurate.

Nintendo will never love you and the honey moon period for Mario Kart World is ending rapidly.

>>712737506
Golden Mushroom is much stronger in World and unlike the Bullet Bill you can take massive shortcuts with it.

5000+ hours in mk8dx here. been watching moonmoon & clint play everyday. it didn't take long for me to see that world is clearly worse than mk8 for many reasons.

then i found out that bandai namco actually made mk8 but now mario kart is being developed by a different studio (nintendo). why wouldn't they just keep the same devs as mk8?? they just recently worked on the mk8 dlc, they made your best selling product for your previous console gen, why not put your trust in them again?

i have my doubts about mk9's ability to be as iconic for the switch 2 gen as mk8s was to the switch 1s.

mk8dx better in every way and still very active (always will be considering the amount of sales the game had)

Of course the manchild with 5k hours in fucking Mario Kart watches streamers

this board has become a caricature of itself

>>712740825
>>712740830
i'm just passing through.

what's wrong with streamers? i'm watching gaming content not react content or irl slop. you can discuss gaming on 4chan and 4chan only, you can't discuss it with others in a twitch chat?

>>712741016
>what's wrong with streamers?
I say that in the friendlest way possible but kill yourself

>>712741132
what i actually said was "what's wrong with *gaming streamers*?"

you can spend your days typing about gaming on 4chan /v/ from your parent's basement but i can't watch gaming content in a 2nd monitor while i actually play games not just post on 4chan ?
