mario kart is not a fun game

>mario kart world is not a fun game
FTFY

>>713228065 (OP)
It's built for playing with people in the same room with you for fun while you're drinking or something not being "competitive" at and in those situations random luck influencing the outcome is a good thing and keeps you wanting to play.

The bullshit is so babies can win

>>713228140
What he said applies to the whole series.

>>713228065 (OP)
Was this an online race? Why the fuck would someone in literally last place throw a blue shell on the last stretch on the last lap? You're not going to suddenly not-be in last place because of it.

>>713228219
less than 1% of mario kart world players play with somebody in the same room

>>713228328
what else are you going to do with it? save it for the next race?

>>713228328
To laugh at you.

>>713228387
It just seems like insanely stupid design to allow last place to influence first and second

>>713228328
What the fuck do you think the blue shell play is to have it just have it hog your item slot until you get to the front and use it when you're in the top 4?

>>713228065 (OP)
Playing mario kart competitively is like playing smash bros with items on competitively but I dont think mario kart would be fun without the items unfortunately

>>713228065 (OP)
You should stop playing fisher-price baby games.

>>713228140
fpbp
How has this unfun trash lasted 10 entries

>>713228461
The item is just there to put a stop check on first. If someone is doing TOO good they're uncatchable on most tracks a red shell might not even catch them from fsr enough away due to awkward homing angles and limitations in its AI.
At this point there are multiple ways to counter it too.
It's there for a shake up. That's all. Last place gets it because they benefit the least, that's it. It would be stupid to give someone in 2nd or 3rd some auto win kryptonite item that kills 1st with a 100% success rate in most circumstances.

I just play to have fun, I like the number goes up but I know I'm not going to be in 1st every single time.

>>713228065 (OP)
All Kart racers are like this, they are not fun.
If there are items its an RNG item fest where what you get from the box is the sole reason you win. If its more focus on skill then its essentially just a time trial with other people at the same time which defeats the purpose of it being MP at all.
You simply can't find a good balance, all Kart racers have this problem.

>>713228328
That applies to blue shell in general not just in the last lap.
It's an obscenely dumb item. Bullet bill and lightning both help whoever uses it a lot, blue shell is just a "fuck you".

>>713229334
Ring Racers has items without RNG

>>713228065 (OP)
>fall off the track
>get rewarded for it
and people take this gamer seriously?

>>713229334
Crash Team Racing was not like this. All of the items were either buffs, obstacles, or close-range attacks. There was no equivalent to blue shell or lightning.

>>713228219
Its built for playing with 23 people in the same room for you?

>>713229962
Same with sonic all stars transformed

>>713228065 (OP)
that's why I lost interest in Pokemon romhacks
fucking crits and inconsistent AI, and then all the other RNG bullshit

>>713228065 (OP)
This is why I dont play Mario Kart 8 at 150cc after getting gold cups the first time. Its 35% RNG if you get 1st or not.

>>713229895
>>713228328
The streamer, Moonmoon, literally had a sniper in his lobby throw the blue shell. I wonder which Moon chatter has been posting clips of him these last couple days to stir shit up lol

https://www.twitch.tv/moonmoon/clip/CulturedRespectfulLaptopBCouch-wvPT-m9DsvnyET2y

>>713230150
For me its realizing that 90% of it is you baiting a preferred attack with some type disadvantage swap trickery. Once you see through the matrix Pokemon is hands down one of the worst RPGs with how easily you can manipulate NPCs to play retardedly

>>713230230

Fuck, is he okay?

>>713229962
Mario kart sucks dude. It peaked with the ds game in what 2004? 2005? Crash team racing was always the superior game but activision were too stupid to capitalize on it. I dont even like crash as a game series or as a character but the kart game was so clearly superior. Its a crime its not on pc

>get Peach coin
>bowser motor sticker
What did Peach mean by this?

Only shitters get golden mushrooms, so this guy must be bad (obviously, since he fell in the hole).

>>713228065 (OP)
why do you keep posting this retard

>>713228328
Its ko tour on the last lap if youre in 4th ie last you can get it and you can absolutely win because of it. Its a terrible idea to be in first on the last segment because you still get bananas and coins while guys possible just a microsecond behind you are getting super items

This whole thread is raging over mario kart lmao pathetic.

>>713228065 (OP)
lol why is he taking this seriously you would think he is playing cs or something its a party game

>>713228328
The pure bliss of ruining somebody else's day.

>>713228328
The blue shell has been a cuckold item since it's inception, really. The person that throws the fucking thing is almost never the person that benefits from it.

>be in first place entire game
>ghosted/lightninged (removes item)
>chain blue/red shelled
>instantly drop to 5th and knocked out
yeah, this game is BS

>>713229832
Blue shells are necessary, although I wish they were balanced a bit better. The problem with mario kart items is that most of the choas is happenning behind the person in first, so once a person reaches first they only get further and further ahead because everyone else is getting fucked by the each others items. Blue shells are a way to bring the choas to the person in first so that they can't build an unfair lead.

The problem is that they are bullshit when the 1st playet is still near everyone else. I feel like they should be rebalanced somehow to avoid this.

>>713234343
That doesn't even consider the player throwing that cuck item to begin with. The least it could do for them is that, for every player hit by the shell on the way to first, it gives the coins lost on the hit straight to blue shell thrower. At least that's better than it doing fucking nothing for them, other than wasting one of their item rolls.

>>713228065 (OP)
Why is it always the same guy you post video from? Let me guess, he plays it for 12 hours a day and treats it like competitive super serious business?

>Not fucking someone over and ruining someone else's night just by pressing a single button
Having a blue shell and using it is peak schadenfreude.

It would be funny if Mario Kart all of a sudden had a comp mode like overwatch or something so we could get Mario kart autistic rage videos because someone's ELO dropped like 10 points because of a shell at the end

>>713234795
>so we could get Mario kart autistic rage videos because someone's ELO dropped like 10 points because of a shell at the end
We have Splatoon for that now.

>NOOO EVERYTHING IS OUT OF MY CONTROL AND THE WORLD IS OUT TO GET ME
what are you, some sorta incel

>>713228328
In this specific case, that player was a viewer of his helping him win.
Threw a Blue Shell if he wasn't in first, destroyed a Blue Shell in second place with a sound box to protect him, etc.

>>713228065 (OP)
Bullshit outside your control is one of the most tilting things in vidya yeah

>>713235874
>>713235825
>>713235773
removing blue shells and lightning from the game would make it 100x more fun. at least make it optional (off by default) so if you want to fuck around with friends IRL (where the bullshit is actually funny) you can

>>713234980
This is why nintend𐐬 consoles don't have public chat

in first place you get coins or bananas. the winning move is to fall to 24th, get a blue shell, then never use it till you are 2nd.

>>713236467
Lightning's the only thing to counteract baggers, which have consistently been the worst part of Mario Kart.

>Don't hold A on start to get a boost start.
>First item you roll is triple mushrooms.
And they will tell you Nintendo nerfed bagging in World.

>>713229962
I agree CTR is a better game, but it literally does have equivalents to both of those items.

>>713228065 (OP)
>"""""""out of your control""""""""""""""
>literally hugs the very rim of the death pit for no reason at all
>THIS IS NOT MY FAULT REEEEEEEEEEEEE
faggots.
All of you.

Reminder not to push for p1 early.
It will ruin your life.

Embrace the bullshit or don't play it. This isn't a 'lol it's fine get over it's it's a 'if you get mad at getting fucked by items you're literally playing the wrong gane'. There are a thousand skill based racing games and that's great. Mario Kart is not one of them and is not trying to be one of them. You either embrace that it is a game where you can fuck or get fucked by items and enjoy that, or you will not enjoy it at all.

>>713230334
I hope not

>>713228065 (OP)
The items are bullshit, but I find the way the AI works way more rage-inducing.
The game actively punishes you for playing well.
This was already a thing in MK8D, bit it seems it is even worse now.
For some reason 150cc was harder than 200cc

I saw this shit live earlier tonight and it was a super hype moment. The last thing on my mind as i saw this cool moment was that there was a seething /v/tard watching ready to turn that moment into an MP4 to post and seethe about it

you faggots really hate everything huh

>>713228065 (OP)
Shit game

warp orb and clock

>>713240035
No

it's clearly meant to be played very casually, and people who get super serious about mario kart should redirect their efforts to another game.

>>713234980
it's even funnier because he sounds like such a dweeb

>>713236929
Blue shells only seem to appear in the upper areas of placements nowadays, around 6th to 8th or so. Makes more sense since at least it can potentially benefit you at that point in one way or another. What I wanna know is what kind of fucked up maniac made Boo an item you get around 3rd to 8th. No one will believe me but this shit's the most overpowered item in the game.

>>713238241
so true bro. i was PEPWing when he fell down and thought he lost but then when he ended up winning it was a true pogchamp borpaspin moment

>>713240585
>no blue shell protection while front running
>not enough lead to ignore a bluw shell
>doesn't drop off the side to get lakitu'd which is always faster than taking a blue shell
Skill issue.

>>713240585
The sad thing is, this time it actually was a skill issue instead of just getting Mario Karted.

>>713229096
It's fucking asinine. You're doing a good job and racing hard against second place, trading places? WELL FUCK YOU FAGGOT HERE COMES THE SUPPOSITORY OPEN THOSE CHEEKS.
And just like that the entire race is ruined because the game thought you were having just a bit too much fun and gave Timmy Shitpants in last place the ability to run across the beach kicking over everybody's sand castle. Its only purpose is to induce emotional anguish. It's bullying in video game form. A distilled piece of equity to bludgeon those who worked hard and deserve to win with.
The blue shell only exists as an expression of sheer malice from the developers. It serves zero purpose. It only exists to make somebody's day just that little bit shittier. They can't sue you and permanently ruin your life for winning at Mario Kart so they settle for the occasional blue shell to ensure that you know who the real boss is. To really let you know what they think you deserve for spending your money on their video games.

>>713240729
>in first place
>get lightninged or ghosted
>lose blue shell protection

>get chain red shelled
yeah, im thinking the game is BS

>>713241151
nigga it's a 0+ game, it's not that deep

How is any of this suprising to people?
All this criticism was exactly how mario kart 8 was like on the wii u, literally nothing changed, this series is designed to be absolutely random.
It's only rage inducing if you intend to win and you shouldnt. Ever, while playing the bing bing wahoo drift game

>>713241596
This man hates you. He hates your family. He wants your children to suffer. When he sees an unattended child on the street he makes sure he's the only one having a good day. Every time a 7 year old kid gets into first place, reaching for the finish line with stars in his eyes only to get blue shelled at the last second, he masturbates.
The only reason they make games that kids can play is so they can spread misery to as many people as possible.
Maybe the tears of the young are more potent material to summon the evil extradimensional pain entities they clearly worship.

>>713228065 (OP)
It's a party game, you're not supposed to care about winning or losing. Go play a real racing game if you care that much

>Knockout Tour > Grand Prix
God, it's not even close. Deathrace Modes are the fucking best

>>713241995
Joey, why the FUCK do you always do this? Every time for Mario Kart night you do nothing but continuously drive into the wall, backwards around the circuit or sit at an item box spamming lightning and blue shells. Then you sit there and laugh out loud, yell at us, tell your retarded jokes and claim that we're not supposed to care when we threaten to kick you out.

My faggot friend has to ruin EVERY game we play because he's autistically competitive. He'll analyze every turn of Mario Party and plan 5 moves ahead, while purposely telling people things that will only benefit him. Competitivefags and metafags ruined bing bing wahoo multiplayer games.

>>713231501
That or scumfucjs like me who chill in the back and bag. Wait till timmy in 18th place gets lightning halway through lap 3. Then use golden shroom and 3 shrooms to hopefully boost into 1-5th place. Thats literally every game. Its the onky consistent strat to stay vr positive.

>>713235292
isnt that cheating?

>>713243125
And this is why blue shells fucking suck. They don't curb comp autism, and they particularly fuck over casual play.

We do. He calls it targeting and he whines about it. We claim it doesn't happen.

Not crazy about racing games, but why worry about winning? Just cause as much mayhem as possible. Id intentionally only stay in 15-5th just to greif people

Why are all videos from the balding fatass? No one else playing?

>game that is historically a party game has a new entry that is a party game
my god, how could this have happened? how could we have foreseen this?!

>>713228065 (OP)
That's the point, it's fun for the whole family because everybody can get a few wins

If the game gets too skill focused it creates a very unfair situation like CTRNF where one hit of a item will ruin the entire game

>>713228065 (OP)
It seems like running in front is like asking for ass rape. I don't understand why those retards just don't sandbag until very last item box. At least don't be in 1st if you don't want to be blue shelled. Fucking easy really.

>>713228065 (OP)
Have you considered gitting gud?

>>713244160
I wholeheartedly believe the average /v/ poster is a 13 year old Brazilian like pic related. It explains ALOT about board

>>713228065 (OP)
You're fucking retarded if you're playing Mario Kart for competitive fulfillment. This just comes off as you not being good enough to play at a competitive level in games designed to be strictly skill-based so you're trying to get fulfillment from a party game designed for children.

Mario kart was never ment to be a competitive game, its a party game 1st and foremost.

>>713231501
You clearly have no understanding of how the new game works. Go ahead and look at the map and maybe you'll notice how few racers there actually are.
