With just ONE update Nintendo saved Mario Kart World from compfags.

Nintendo is... le based!?

I'm so glad

>"compfags"

CasualFag here, this update's complete dogshit. I've never seen such a large regression in a sequel like MK8 to MK: World.

>>713695246
compfags have autism
people who NEED to drive the same course exactly the same 3 times in a row have autism
that's enough of a crossover for me

Hmm isn't the open world maps only good for the "knockout tour" mode?

>>713695527
I like them

>pay $80 to have Nintendo shit in your mouth and thank them for it

>>713695019 (OP)
What did they change about random course selection? The patch notes sound very vague.

it killed the game for casuals also retard

>>713695019 (OP)
Yeah, you have fun holding down the a button.

>>713695368
The sonic game does the gimmick better with a teleport ring that sends the player somewhere else on lap 2, and then back to the original course, with a few notable changes for the final lap

qrd?

>>713695595
You can sometimes get an intermission track still.

Don't know, the CTRNF current-gen port will give compfags something to play next year.

>>713695730
The """"""people""""""" who compfag Mario Kart genuinely can't play CTR.

>>713695368

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

>>713695368
The intermissions fucking suck idiot.

>>713695721
People getting upset over a children's racing game.

>>713695246
>I've never seen such a large regression in a sequel like MK8 to MK: World.
you're complaining that Nintendo updated the online play of MK: World to differentiate it from MK8

>>713695368
If you're not a compfag you're not going to be playing against them because they're at a high VR.

>>713695837
>all kart racers need to do 3 identical laps because... they do okay!!!!!
They should base it off real gokarting and have you do like a dozen laps to really get the autists going

>>713696051
VR doesn't matter
especially in 8

>>713695884
People getting upset Nintendo ruined their $80 game with a post-launch non-optional patch.

>>713695721
Nobody liked the intermission tracks and Nintendo hated that. The tracks themselves were fine, but you only got to play 1 lap of the tracks if you got an intermission. However, if you picked Random you would get 3 lap tracks. Now Nintendo made it so if you choose Random you'll get intermissions still, thus ruining the online.

Imagine if Smash Bros' online had an option to play Stock Matches if you didn't like Time Matches and then Nintendo took out the ability to play Stock Matches from the online entirely. That's what they did for Mario Kart.

>>713695019 (OP)
Why would compfags be deterred

>>713695019 (OP)
>people who like to actually race on the courses that Nintendo made instead of sandbag on halfassed intermissions are "compfags"

>>713695595
>>713695721
In MKW's grand prix online mode, you can either choose between 1 of 3 "intermissions+1 lap of a course" races, or select random instead, which always gives you a 3-lap course without intermissions. After everyone votes for a course, 1 of the 24 votes is randomly selected and the track is played. The vast majority of online players choose random because it guarantees getting 3-lap tracks, which are preferred since they're designed better and are more interesting to race on than the long, straight line highways of intermissions. Choosing random post-update now more often than not gives you races with intermissions, instead of only 3-lap courses like before, removing the only guaranteed method to get a 3-lap track online. This is even more of a baffling decision given that Knockout Tour, a separate online game mode, is already built around driving intermissions. There's effectively no way to play MKW online now without getting intermission races the vast majority of the time.

>>713696287
If you play at ANY level above absolutely casual you're a compfag. Somehow.

>>713696285
Mario Kart compfags are really bad at videogames. The intermissions and alt routes require a lot more route learning than they are capable of.

>>713696287
But nintendo also made the intermission tracks

dont care still playing it

Sucking a company's dick will always be gay.

>>713696147
Imagine if Smash Bros came out but instead of being a platform fighter with percentages, it more resembled Marvel vs Capcom, with a tradtional health bar and a tag system. You deviate far enough from the traditional racing and you get wildly different gameplay. There is nothing about intermission courses that's any more fun than a well designed course which has been the system for mario kart for decades now.

The intermissions make up over 80% of the maps available and it's quality over quantity. It's like saying you think a shrine from botw beats the Forest Temple from OoT. It's literally not comparable. And YET BotW functions well as an open world game because it's single player. For the online matchmaking it has to follow a traditional racing system, and limiting the player to driving in a straight line 80% of the time is not an improvement over the traditional way of kart racing. There's also less places to use the new mechanics like grinding and wall riding. You're driving through open fields 90% of the time where the only thing to trick off of is a destructable rail, which is entirely pointless so you just drive straight.

>>713696347
With a lower level of detail and care and it shows.

>>713696235
>non-optional patch.
Nigger if you want to play online it is 100% mandatory.

>>713696340
>If you play at ANY level above absolutely casual you're a compfag
i mean it's literally the mario party of racing games
no reason for anyone that wants to try hard to play these games over the alternatives

>>713695019 (OP)
/v/ will complain about compfags in every game because they're too shit to actually beat said compfags
prove me wrong

But now I can’t beat children in a Mario game

>>713696390
There's only like 4 intermissions that are straight lines

>>713696390
>Imagine if Smash Bros
No thanks I take showers

>>713695019 (OP)
based actually
kart racers should be casual fun with friends and family after a rough day of work, not fat sweaty trannies with greasy chubby fingers ruining the fun for everyone else

>>713696439
That's my point you absolute retard. Your game is completely ruined with no ability to not ruin it.

>>713696492
Anon these people don't actually play the games
They just look at the minimap and repeat whatever youtubers tell them

>$450 console + $80 game + $20 online fee just so Nintendo pisses on your head and you thank them for it

>>713696468
nobody cares about playing party games competitive you autist, its about how compfags demand changes that make the game worse you giga retard

>>713696235
Holy BASED! Nintendo punishing their paypiggies for spending $80 on this shit like they FUCKING DESERVE!

>this kart racer needs long stretches of road where doing literally nothing is the fastest way to drive
>it also needs to be 80% skippable with an item you can only get in like 8th place so don't go too fast
>also this needs to be the vast majority of the track you selected, the track everyone voted for is actually just a 20 second sprint tacked on at the end

If you had a shorter intermission that led to a full race, the bitching would subside.

>>713696459
It's not like Mario Party at all. Mario Kart has been a skillful series for decades. The people who are actually good will win with a high degree of consistency. That's not something you can do in Mario Party where the only way for skilled players to do good is in the mini games, and you can still win even if you lose every single mini game.

>>713696147
they literally make tracks that are one long course with no repeats
you don't need intermission garbage to achieve that

>>713696492
And they're used multiple times. The ones that aren't still heavily encourage sandbagging.

>>713696645
>Mario Kart has been a skillful series for decades. The people who are actually good will win with a high degree of consistency.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
yeah autists are 100% getting what they deserve from nintendo here

Can someone please explain to me why compfags call the lightning bolt "shock"? Like, bro, Nintendo already shortened it more than a decade before MKWii gave birth to your scene. Just say bolt. It even takes fewer characters to type out.

I'm not even trying to be autistic about this. It's in the name for crying out loud.

>>713696620
They don't make em shorter. Just make it a 3 lap at the end still.

>>713696584
>>Anon these people don't actually play the games
Nigger I've played the fucking games. Look at the map during an intermission and it is a straight fucking line 9/10 times. There are hundreds of intermissions and they're meant to act as glue between the actual courses. They can only do so much zigging and zagging when the ultimate goal is to get from point A to point B and real estate is limited.

>>713696439
what level of esl is this?

>>713696715
Why are you even mad that people are good at a video game? What is wrong with you?

>>713696716
>I'm not even trying to be autistic
we can tell you don't need to try at all, its effortless for you

>>713696718
Then you're going to wind up with a long as fuck race.

>>713696707
They aren't it just for some reason anytime people do dk space port people pick Koopa troops Beach intermission and the likes when it's easily one of the worst intermissions.
I think most of the other intermission are better than tracks like boo cinema.or dandelion depths.

>>713696735
proof?

>>713696735
Why must every course have at least 8 dedicated routes to nearby circuits when it could have been a general highway that then had exits leading elsewhere along the way?

>>713695019 (OP)
>bags until I get golden and mega
>lets the pack drive in front for the intermission
>use them on the actual track and gets first every time
Easy game

>>713696805
Quit being a smartass and answer the question

>>713696807
Oh no, not a fucking 6 minute race. HELP ME MIYAMOTO-SAMA AAAAIIEEEEE

>>713696774
>Why are you even mad that [something that doesn't exist]
I genuinely find this hilarious anon

>players overwhelmingly pick random track to avoid playing intermissions
>nintendo change this to favour intermissions
this feels malicious, does nintendo just hate their fans?

>>713696592
It's really sad when you put it that way. Nintendo could raise the base nso price to $50 or remove game modes from the game and the cult would have an excuse ready or shift the blame on snoys or compfags or "Eric" etc. Literal cult

>>713696735
>using the map
You are retarded.
Shy guy to air ship fortress has an air loop for example. Toy wouldn't see that on what you posted

>>713696807
It's not like Knockout Tour isn't a thing they do online. Both the players and the servers can handle races that long. I don't understand why it would be a problem when we get both the standard course AND the intermission, unless the intent is literally to ONLY race the intermissions. Again, Knockout Tour's already a thing.

>>713696897
What do you mean it doesn't exist? If it didn't exist there wouldn't be a comp scene since MKWii. It's older than you are.

>>713696468
calling anyone calling this out as a bad design choice as a compfag is a complete strawman though. I'm not a compfag. Intermission courses are not as well made as the regular courses. You can clearly see where the effort went. They had to make hundreds of intermissions. Like shrines in botw (which mind you have a LOT more creativity going in them to create actual puzzles than the simplicity of these courses) are not going to have the complexity or love put into it that a full proper dungeon would have. But you're given tons of them to make up for that lack of love, and it doesn't necessarily equate for a better experience as far as dungeon design goes. Same goes for track design. Simply adding more doesn't mean racing is going to be more fun. Well designed courses that are fun to drive in are going to carry the game longer than just forcing people to drive down long stretches where not a lot is going on except changes in the scenery. It's an anti-fun decision, it goes against the entire spirit of what makes Mario Kart fun to begin with.

>>713696807
So? I'm not seeing an issue.

People like intermissions, compfags are a minority

>>713696850
So nintendo can say they made a hundred tracks out of reused assets

>>713696901
Maybe.
But I'm pretty sure it's because random was not actually true random

>>713696949
Compared to almost any other game series, comp mkwii isn't competitive

>>713697012
No they don't. Everyone playing online was choosing Random to avoid the intermissions. That's why Nintendo nuked the option. Poll the playerbase and it's going to be 80% anti-intermissions and 15% don't care.

>>713696931
>Shy guy to air ship fortress has an air loop for example.
And you can bring up the exceptions like this, and there is a handful of them, but THEY ARE THE EXCEPTION. Most intermissions aren't doing enough unique things to distinguish themselves from the other intermissions. They only act as glue between the real levels. It's silly to try and pretend the same amount of effort went into designing these connection tracks. There are some cool ones that do some interesting stuff, but there's not enough of them.

I'll use BotW as an analogy again. Many shrines in that game were just "tests of combat". It was unnecessary, it was filler. It was the same thing over and over again, and you have a LOT of that going on with world's intermissions. Yeah, there were some really cool shrines with interesting puzzles. Not all of them were like that though. But in general it felt more effort went into the design of those than these intermission courses. I don't know how you can even pretend those are as welll designed as a proper mario kart course.

>>713697012
>People like intermissions
>We patched out the ability to avoid them because people liked them so much
>24 people picking random didn't bruise their egos at all

>>713696960
Boo cinema might be the worst track in mk history

>>713696901
>players overwhelmingly pick random
People keep saying this but it's not what happens in my lobbies
Or even the /v/ lobbies for that matter

>>713697039
It's very competitive. Skilled players will still win more often than less skilled players. It turns out when you're good you can mitigate the damage items do and still win even if you get blue shell'd.

>>713697012
What do people like about intermissions?
what makes them better than the regular courses.
I've yet to seen an anon that can explain to me what's better about them.

>>713697073
This. If it's as much a minority as people claim them the patch wouldn't have even happened. Nintendo knows people don't want to play the way they want them to

>>713697083
No I'm not bringing up an exception I'm bringing up the fact that you using a map to support your argument is retarded. Because it's not an actuate portrayal of the intermission

>bro mario kart world would be so much better if it was all one highway with offramps to each kart track nintendo should hire me

>>713697090
Yeah but it has an epic wholesome gimmick and that's all you need to get tendies dicks to prick up.

>>713696235
NO REFUNDS TENDIES
THIS IS WHAT YOU DESERVE FOR BUYING AFTER THEY KILLED IWATA

>>713697090
The intermissions are so forgetable that they won't even have a history. Every Mario Kart game has stinkers. There are a lot of great courses in World. Bringing up one of the weaker ones does not negate that, nor does it mean intermissions are any better (they're not).

>>713697145
They are like mount wario to me.
My favourite track

>>713697173
Ugh it's so much better because it isn't competitive

>>713695019 (OP)
Comp fags just want to drive in circles, bounce around in out of bounds shortcuts, and complain when they get blue shelled because they think they should automatically win because of their """"""skill""""""

>>713697163
>Because it's not an actuate portrayal of the intermission
It's an accurate portraly of most intermissions. The ones doing actually unique things you can count on one hand. There are hundreds of them and VAST MAJORITY are indiscernible to each other and don't deviate from the straight line formula outside of having a few curves here and there.

>>713697121
>self reports himself as a gutter trash VR shitter
this isn't the flex you think it is

>>713696884
shock is easer to say than bolt, hard Ts are effort its why its the first thing you drop when you get lazier and don't talk proper like
and there's a better flow to saying "damn i got shocked" then "damn he bolted me/i got bolted"
you don't get bulleted by a gun you get shot
you don't get sworded by a sword you get slashed
you get shocked by a bolt

>>713696492
>There's only like 4 intermissions that are straight lines
You're an idiot. All of all the intermission tracks are straight lines with gentle turns. You can drive the entire thing without ever needing to drift around a single corner.

>>713697196
I rather 90% of intermission over boo cinema dandelion depth toads factory and the cheep cheep one.

>>713697185
Not true for me. I had a physical copy and sold it close to full price. I saw the writing on the wall even before the update

>>713697207
Mount Wario had a lot more effort put into it than these intermissions though. It also had plenty of twists and turns, obstacles, shortcuts. These intermissions, not so much.

>>713697265
It's not though because there are only 6 intermission outta the 200 that are straight lines.

>Compfags beat your ass on traditional tracks.
>Compfags will now... continue beating your ass on intermissions.
>"haha, OWNED compfags! xD"

>>713697173
It's funny to me that people unironically think this harms compfags. They'll just find ways to compfag on a straight line and you're still going to sit there in your little Daisy cuck bike in the bottom half of the pack.

>>713697090
Not even close, n64 wario stadium is by far the worst in the series

>>713697284
>without needing to drift
You can do the same in any track

>>713697207
Mount wario was not all straight lines.

>>713696492
And there is a track with MULTIPLE LITERAL straight lines.
The key problem is that tracks are TOO SMALL and there are TOO MANY racers

>>713697292
Okay so explain to me HOW are intermissions better than any of those stages.
what makes intermissions good to you. can you explain that to me? Don't explain to me how much you hate XYZ track, explain to me what makes intermissions worth having hundreds of in the game.

>>713697347
I've been btfo'ing spikes on blooper karts all day

>>713697326
I disagree.
Most of them do have twists and turns and obstacles.

>>713696735
>Guys going from point A to point B on earth is LITERALLY a straight line
retard

I got the game 2 days ago and I expected the intermissions to be boring but they are not as bad people portray them, there is always some shit in the road that you have to move around, water sections are boring tho.
That being said I don't get what's the thrill on playing this game like a competitive one, it is always re-rolling items get the good ones, hold them until last lap and use them to reach the end, it doesn't matter how well do you drive.

>>713697207
But Mount Wario wasn’t a straight line and had actual track design

Hey just want to remind those of you that are over age 25 and in this thread that you are over age 25 and in this thread and should think about that a little bit.
Carry on.

>>713697090
>go into screen
>you drive on floating film reels instead of inside a movie
>not a single intermission has you go into the screen to teleport to a different track like the track is the movie
its extra shit for wasting a good idea
there's a universe with Boos Kinoplex that has a completely different sections of track per lap each with a difference movie theme
we did not get that

>>713696807
>long race
Good. More race for me to play, more opportunity to win, more chances to sharpen skills that will help me win.

>>713697347
compfags already posted videos complaining about the change, bagging for gold + triple mushroom, skipping half of the straight line (intermissions don't have skips btw) and still place 9th

>>713695368
based sub 20 IQ poster

>>713697207
Mount Wario is physically impossible because the ski slopes extend under the mountain, which is hidden by culling the first half of the stage after you go through the cave section. Mario Kart World is built specifically around courses that don't do shit like that so they can exist in an actual space.

>>713697395
Much less that are present in your standard Mario Kart course, with much less going on in general. They don't stand out from each other, only a few of them have actual unique gameplay mechanics that set them apart from other stages, and that's among hundreds of intermissions. They are genuinely not proper stages. They are connectors between proper stages. The same amount of attention did not go to them on the account of there being hundreds.

>>713695368
>people who NEED to drive the same course exactly the same 3 times in a row have autism
You are nintendo's strongest soldier

>>713697380
I like the wider spaces and the variety of locations. Like like the randomized obstacles and some of the unique ones.
I like shroom cuts and enjoy how you item manage in intermission tracks.
I like them. And I want them.
If that's not enough for that's fine because I was never against regular tracks regardless. I want them to add 2 or even 3 laps to tracks portion of intermission personally.

>>713697447
Yea i should be ““““““playing“““““ snoytranny movie games instead

>over the age of 25
You mean over the age of 17. Anyone not still in high-school should reconsider what they're doing with their lives here. Like uncle, where's your wife? Why aren't you having kids? Old ass playing kids games.

>>713697504
There's no such thing as bagging.
You WILL get knocked into lower placements and you WILL get items that will let you catch up.
The big difference is that in a 3 lap race your chances of climbing back up are low while on normal races you have a better chance.
Also the point system punishes people who constantly get knocked into lower placements.

>>713697393
>the obstacles in question

I'm not there's very little intermission where the entire track is completely straight.

>>713697768
How the fuck did mushroom bridge on GameCube do this same idea but fun

This is actually unhinged from Nintendo. Like I can't see it as anything other than actively malicious and/or spiteful. Like the longtime 4chan troll in me finds it hilarious but also it's the biggest fuck you I ever saw lmao.

>>713697869
It would be better with hairpin turns everywhere, what's your point?

>>713697890
What those bootlickers don't understand is that the people upset about this are the ones that actually care about the series the most.

Look where all the bootlicking gayfreak got them. Just more lazier, shitty rushed games. It's okay to really like Nintendo games, but it's also alright for people to critique them when they fuck up, and these autists can't stand for any kind of critique due to making it their entire personality to like this thing, so they take it as a personal attack if anyone dares to say anything negative. I've been playing Mario Kart since the 64 days and people are going to shit on me as with the buzzword of the day because I called a shitty update for what it was.

>>713698016
>bootlicking
Why are you conceding?

>>713697973
Nintendo (and gamefreak) exclusively shitting on the spergiest parts of their fanbases will always be funny asf because it's the group of people that are too mentally ill to ever just detach themselves from the product.

>>713697947
So much of the intermissions are just that though and you're trying to obfuscate that for some bizarre reason. When people say "straight line", it doesn't necessarily mean there's not even a curve, but the sad thing is there are MANY, LITERAL straight fucking line sections in these intermissions, way too fucking many of them and they do nothing to make the game more fun.

That's just how it has to be though when you're designing an open world and you're making a road to go from one place to another. You can only do so much with that concept when you're making hundreds of them for one game.

>>713695019 (OP)

This wouldn't be a problem if they actually gave us options to ignore the intermissions.

>>713695368
Tendies really are the most buck broken gaming fanbase

>>713698210
There are retards who would rather have LESS content in the form of 30 tracks over having MORE content in the form of like 200.
All because they want to drive in a circle and bing bing wahoo all over walls and rails because it makes them think they are skilled before they get obliterated by one or more items.

>>713695019 (OP)
they already did so by making 70% of the gameplay take place on straight roads where only item gamble matters

>Add a bunch of new mechanics that lead to insane ways to drive and find shortcuts
>Won't use any of that 99% of the time because intermissions are driving in a straight line
Bravo Nintendo!

>>713696807

If you cant adapt then get out of the way

>>713698515
There isn't a single turn sharp enough to require a drift on that track until the very end where it's the single lap of an actual track.

>>713698567
That's not a straight line, there are numerous turns

The next Mario Kart is going to be purely a Battle Royale mode no three lap courses

>>713698645
>There isn't a single turn sharp enough to require a drift on that track
That applies to most mario kart tracks ever made. Not counting 200cc of course.

based nintendo dabbing on compfags

Do people ITT defending intermissions, even played the game?

>>713698645
you really are just proving that guy who talked about hairpin turns right.

>>713695368
This is some advanced bootlicking. Nintendo could kick your door in, shoot your dog and fuck your mom and you would still find some way to think that was based and owned the nintendo haters.

I'm glad the Nintendo cult is finally falling apart. Only the most rabid of defenders are left.
Pretty much every single Youtuber is shitting on Mario Kart W, including hardcore tendies like Bandy.

>>713695019 (OP)
Comfags have an even higher advantage now though. Even if the transitional courses are less popular, compfags have an advantage in them.

>>713698763
>>713698725
it doesnt have to be a hairpin turn. It just has to be a turn in which drifting is more optimal than just driving through it. I don't know the exact angle that this becomes the case but not every turn needs to require you to brake drift either. The point is the intermission tracks generally have zero turns and the ones they do have like this are rare. It isn't fun every single race to play like this. Intermission tracks are okay occasionally. With this change they're the vast majority. Nintendo needs to just create two separate online modes to cater to the different preferences. You're clearly acting like dumb niggers just to troll.

>>713698746
the narrative right now is that only people who haven't played the game criticize intermissions.

>>713698016
>the people upset about this are the ones that actually care about the series the most.
the people who care the most are playing mk8 instead of making long ass reddit posts on the anime forum that has the least chance of making a difference on future games

literally no one outside of /v/ likes intermissions

>>713695019 (OP)
Nintendo doing this just shows they have absolute, utter contempt for anyone playing their game in a way they didn't explicitly intend or approve of no matter how much players prefer it. Why people still support this dogshit soulless shell of a corporation is beyond me.

>>713699117
Then how do you explain this? >>713698286

>>713699081
Drifting is optimal for every turn unless if you can do a mushroom boost through a shortcut.
This reminds me of how drift fags were suiciding en masse after snaking was rightfully gutted.

Yeah I'm done with World, it's just so unfun and unskilled. I'm going back to where it really takes some effort.

I wish they switched off it sooner for sure. Even though the overall quality wasn't the best I really liked the variety in the tour tracks.

this is the first time Nintendo have released a mainline game with straight up bad design choices, not even questionable, just bad. and the new dk has western style progression systems like skill points. people will call me a snoy but I'm genuinely concerned for the direction they're headed because for.me Nintendo was the last bastion of AAA development.

my response was in reply to a comment that was explitly attacking a strawman that people don't like compfags because they can't beat them. only faggots care about winning in party games anon.
people don't like compfags because the changes they want are often to the detriment of fun and gameplay.
the tears from compfags that casual maps have been added to random tracks is proof of this.

>>713695019 (OP)
I haven't seen much about the game yet, but I saw a guy playing it and, honestly, the intermissions are really bland when compared to the normal 3 lap races. I imagined Nintendo had realized this during development, but was testing player acceptance anyway, and would add an option in the first update for players to simply remove the intermissions. But they went the opposite way, seeing that people preferred the normal races to the intermission part, Nintendo FORCED everyone to participate in the intermission, LMAO.

>we worked hard on these extra parts!
>the players hated them and found a way to skip this crap
>let's do an update that forces them to participate in something they don't want so the work we did won't be in vain!

nah he's a fucking faggot trying to bully nintendo into making the game into exactly what he wants as a professional streamer. Good thing nintendo never listens to youtuber retards.

>>713700818
Where did the streamer groom you?

I can't believe all the people saying that intermissions are not straight lines, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why so many people are saying the course voting is 50/50 for 3 laps and intermissions.
As soon as you get a room where everyone is around 7000~8000 rating points, EVERYONE picks random, because the tracks are WAY better than this open world shit.
Ive been playing this game for the last two weeks and it has already been annoying as fuck how much they forced the intermissions, but we all found out how to make the game good instead of shit, and now Nintendo has forced us all to eat shit every time we play the game.
Fuck this update and fuck anyone who likes intermissions.

i don't really care about compfags or this or that, i'm pretty casual with only around 15 hours played total, i just preferred the option to do 3 lap races because it removes the clutter of npc cars and shit that are kind of annoying when you're in a race, its like being forced to race on toads turnpike from mk64 every time, why not just let people choose one or the other?

You say this like it's something that matters. 99.9% of MK8 players stopped playing the game a week after a DLC wave came out.
World is never going to have trouble finding random lobbies.

I know this is bait, but don't you think it's a bit too silly when you're calling the people who own the game, own a Switch 2, play the game, go into online and pick Random because they like normal tracks "snoys".

Come on man. I get it, arguing for arguings sake, but that doesn't work if the argument being made is absurd to this degree.

>>713699283
Drifting is not optimal for every turn in the intermissions. In most cases the slow down from drifting and the blue mini turbo do not perform better than just holding A and tilting the stick. Just like how most of the wall rides and rails aren't worth hopping onto because charging a jump is a net loss.

I've got 60 hours in this game
Riding the rails and doing tricks in the intermission sections is actually slower than just driving straight. It's all completely pointless.
The only way to go fast in intermissions is to mushroom over the off-road, everything else is slower than just driving normally.
I think the tracks and rail riding and shortcuts in World are really good, but Nintendo just won't let us race on them. They're such cunts.
After you've played 50 hours of straight lines you'll never want to play them again. The tracks are ten times more fun.

Idk where you get the idea it’s a minority

Most of the people complaining about this will continue to kart for a while. That doesn’t mean Nintendo didn’t fuck over their entire player base by taking away the option to play normal race tracks after charging you premium price for the game

>Most of the people complaining about this will continue to kart for a while.
>That doesn’t mean Nintendo didn’t fuck over their entire player base
If they keep playing, then Nintendo didn't fuck over the player base :)

This update literally only affected snoys and will most likely boost next week's game sales on top of it

For those who have played the game, is the wall-running tech as unsatisfying as it seems when I watch others play?
It seems to me that running on rails and jumping between rails and platforms is fun and all, but when the guy jumps from a rail to a wall, it seems like the transition doesn't flows well.

>>713702291
>by taking away the option to play normal race tracks
I'd also have this opinion if I had no friends and was too pussy to find likeminded people online to play with

>>713702314
I know this is bait, but the sweatiest player is going to win most races regardless of whether it’s a 3-lap or intermission course. This update did nothing to change that

No it's optimal.

>>713696326
>Forcing a gimmick onto players
Do these retards really?

>>713702314
considering that every three lap track is basically baby park on steroids its even funnier

If you went to a Michelin Star restaurant and ordered something like chicken tenders and then the owner of the restaurant or the head chef came over and shoved your chicken tenders up their ass using it as a makeshift dildo and then returned it to your plate /v/ would say something like

It was actually an ironic avant-garde meta post about the lengths people will come up with the most outrageous food analogies to try and argue their point.

You can tell this is actually a really terrible change that ruins the game otherwise/v/ wouldn't be so happy about it. If the update was actually good there would've been one, maybe two threads about it specifically.

>>713695090
Shut up shit eater.

>>713702763
Putting aside the 3-lap vs intermission debate, the “random” option is now almost completely redundant now. It just picks from the 3 courses already on offer so you might as well just vote for the one you want of those 3 instead.

They already have knockout tour where intermissions make sense, and its not like you never played them in races online, since theres always at least 1 person voting for them, but no, they worked "so hard" on them, they want you to play them all the time

I'm buying Miku's and Spongebob's game instead of this shit.

>>713702713
have you considered that maybe you simply don't like mario kart in general? liking intermissions (that others hate) more than the courses might be a bit of a clue

>>713703397
Have you considered the game already has a popular mode designed around the intermissions called Knockout Tour, so they could keep the 3 lap tracks for Grand Prix closer to a classic mode without taking away the sporadic intermissions, since even before the update theres always someone voting for the intermission version?

>>713703608
Tendie defense force is real

The Japanese are much like us.
The decisions that caused high sellers like Wilds and World to crash and burn will be studied carefully in the future.

Why are niggas calling these races intermissions. From what I can see they are sprints. Use a real word not a tendie term for kids

MK8 is better anyway. Can't wait for 10 more years of mk8 dominance

Honestly compfags brought this on themselves. This is why we can't have nice things.

THE PROBLEM ISNT THE INTERMISSION COURSES, THE PROBLEM IS REMOVING OPTIONS ON HOW TO PLAY THE GAME. IF YOU CANT SEE WHY ITS A BAD THING, YOU DONT PLAY VIDEOGAMES AND YOUR OPINION SHOULD BE DISCARDED

This doesnt affect "competitive play" only, thats why its bad. They didnt add a classic mode like everyone thought, so intermissions were always a thing, but at least people had a chance to vote for regular laps, something even casuals want. And again theres an already popular mode built around them, so people are playing the intermissions no matter what. But in a very reactionary move, they want to force you to play them most of the time because "muh hard work behind them"

>>713699201
Smashfags told you about this literally decades ago and /v/ is just now realizing

Retardation beyond redemption

>>713706429
No they did not, you donkey brained autist.

In private lobbies there is an option for "intermissions" which are actual intermissions, aka short pauses between races. Retards like you saw the option in a video and assumed it mean the routes between tracks. These are what courses are now in this game. Nintendo clearly wants you to play them as standard, no matter if you like it or not.

>>713706156
>can't play open lobbies with strictly just regular 3-lap courses
>limited to 12 players

>>713706657
Yes this what 3laps sloppers want, another decade of MK8 (that they mysteriously never just play again despite being switch 2 compatible)

>>713705634
Those are the standard tracks now.
There are only 30 courses in the game, as opposed to 32 since DS.
Some courses are also only playable if you go through routes. You can only race through Daisy's Palace if you route to Shy Guy Bazaar, for example.

>>713706456

>>713696716

>>713706738
>>713706803
>Those are the standard tracks now
Oh, really? But you forgot something, sweetie.... you can still play 3 laps on VS mode, so it means even Nintendo knows some people want to play it that way

>>713707098
Then they should play VS 3 laps instead of pretending they don't exist anymore.

>>713704529
>Why are niggas calling these races intermissions
Because they are bland and stupid and seem to be just an intermission between what really matters, which is racing on the proper tracks. In fact, I've seen some pros who don't even try during the "intermissions". They just use that time to accumulate the right items and then when the race really starts, they win by passing everyone on the circuits.
In other words, "intermission" is quite an appropriate word, it makes it clear that people are not seeing that part of the experience as really important, just as a silly gimmick between the really important parts.

>>713707098
Those are standard tracks too, you retard.
They show up in online pay along with the 200 other standard tracks you can do.
They are all standard tracks.
They reason they don't show up too often is because 30/230 isn't exactly a huge number.

>>713707201
They dont exist in online. If you want to play at a time no one you know is playing, or even if you dont have anyone to play with because no real friends, or necause they dont care about Mario Kart, etc. That what online is all about. I hope you have 7, 11, or even 23 friends, cause otherwise you are also not playing the game as intended

>>713696390
Just refund the game then? Or, better yet, don't buy it until it comes out and you get to see how it plays.

Standard tracks are closed circuits. "Intermissions" are open sections like in rally racing, and they are not standard by default, unless Mario Kart is a rally game.

>>713707593
Not according to Nintendo, honey bunches of oats.
Mario Kart is a 3 course game. Mario Kart World is (mostly) a rally game.

>>713695527
Yes. It would be neat if they could make knockout tour work with normal 3 laps too but I'm fine if it stays the mode for that

>>713707575
>Shrines definitely beat the old way of getting heart pieces, that's for damn sure.
No they do not, because Spirit Orbs are exclusive to shrines there’s virtually no incentive to engage with NPC quests anymore save for a few exceptions.

>>713706657
>>limited to 12 players
And that's a good thing!

>>713706617
Nintendo can suck my cock and balls, I want to do 3 laps on actual tracks like every other Mario Kart game and not a long drive on a bland highway just to do a single lap on a real track. The fact that picking random even in low VR means it's a sentiment held by even the most casual of casualfags. Nintendo just has an enormous ego and never wants to admit their vision is wrong.

>>713707520
Then Mario Kart has always been for autistic compfags according to you since 3 lap circuits have been the standard since day 1

>>713707834

For the same reason they added tripping in Brawl.
Spite towards players having fun in a way they didn't intend.

>>713695019 (OP)
what the fuck is a "compfag"

>>713707859
autistic compfags ruined pretty much everything good about mario kart with their abuse. They ruined drifting because they wanted to drift everywhere for bosts, bagging because they wanted to try to circumvent getting mario karted, and now they ruined random because they're incapable of doing a race that isn't a circuit.

>>713702176
This is an utterly bizarre line of thinking. If these people were a loud minority they would be matched with people who don't pick random, so they would already be playing highway courses most of the time. So the fact that this is a noticeable change proves they aren't a tiny minority after all.

>decided this morning I will forever commit myself to being a braindead bootlicker
Nintendo fans are so stunning and brave!

>>713708121
they added tripping in brawl because people were constantly dodging.
I hope in the next smash game they nerf shielding hard.

>>713699283
In world drifting got nerfed best way to take a turn in world is the grind or rail ride which is cool when the game allows it, but on intermissions these fun new abilities hardly get used

>>713708321
ironically the pity wins for me were the circuit races where it was easier to "bag" because literally everyone was getting bagged outside of whatever amount skill they posses.

>>713708525
>irony is when i get lucky

>>713708525
24 person 3 lap races are basically just a giant clusterfuck.

Item boxes are too closely placed and it is hard to use items strategically since the chance of being Lightning Bolted is so high.

I side with Nintendo on this, people just want to beat up on everyone else instead of having a fair match. It's pretty sad.

>>713708804
You should download the patch that actually fixed them then, I'm in a 21 player room in no life-tier (8.7)

Nintendo spend 2 years developing the three lapperoos and 6 years developing the hundreds of sprint tracks. They are not going to make that development time go to waste because of compfags. You would do the same if you spend so much time and love into something.

>>713708978
Its a party game. Its meant to be casual. Zoom zoom metas ruin every game they touch. Play wil the character and kart that you want and enjoy the fucking game.

I don't know how many people are aware of this, but one of the main criticisms of Wii was that many of the tracks were very open and wide, and despite turns that allow for orange mini turbos, the inside drift bikes and their wheelies were the only viable way to play. This was known within a week of the games release and has not changed in 17 years. Mechanically, karts are more interesting: higher apm, more complex geometry, and far more stylish options for vehicles. If wheelies weren't in the game, karts would've been the healthier meta, which is why we didn't see wheelies in MK8, and each track is designed so that every vehicle has the opportunity for plenty of oranges or purples. The intermission tracks (undiscovered glitches aside) do not offer mechanics or aesthetics, which is why the meta immediately became stock up on shrooms and then gun it for the last few turns of the race. And while MK8 meta does also revolve around that, the skill threshold to even compete with other players doing the exact same strategies is much higher because of how complex the tracks really are. The highway tracks are not remotely complex, have no dynamics, and their only reason for existing is because lesser players don't find it a chore to navigate, unlike the cramped and faster-paced MK8 tracks. So while the highways deserve to exist and offer a unique gameplay experience for those who want it, it detracts from the fun of those who DONT want it, and are having their only solution be patched out of the game. And this is merely one dimension of everything that's wrong with World, which displays utterly bizarre design philosophy across the entire game, but we've already had that discussion.

>>713709078
I didn't read but it seen reasonable
>one of the three maps are guaranteed 3 laps
>Random is 50/50 on highway or 3lap
Fixed the game.

When 3-lap circuits (the format every single kart racer has used since the genre’s inception) get associated with compfaggotry? And why do people assume that no-lifers won’t just find new ways to abuse the highway tracks?

>>713709078
I forgot they removed wheelies due to their exploitation

>>713709078
>higher apm
This is not strictly good. Kart racers should be about timing and strategy, not about input autism.

>>713702454
Anon, they've been doing that since the wii. Arguably since the DS but that one was actually good so nobody noticed.

>>713706409
Yes, and school / grades are competitive.

>>713709078
>each track is designed so that every vehicle has the opportunity for plenty of oranges or purples
And this is how I know everything here is bullshit. Purple sparks weren’t added until 8DX, the game wasn’t made with them in mind

When you use the Baby Blooper, there should be a 2% chance that your tires randomly pop.

Being less skilled means you win less, as a matter of fact. Even Mario Party rewards skilled and knowledgeable players, even if it also allows others to win without as much.

>>713709460
Half of deluxe's tracks weren't in 8, and my point still stands anyway. You cannot deny that the tracks aren't created/chosen for their mini turbo allowance, with a handful of exceptions for variety's sake.

APM should supplement knowledge and strategy. If two people have the roughly the same game knowledge, why shouldn't effective apm be a tiebreaker?

Ah yes, instead of nintendo's baby games you should go play... Astro Bot, or Minecraft. WOW!

Not only game knowledge is important, playing mind games and planning routes is also important.
Using items in Kart Racers is all about that. Should I save it? Should I use it now? Should I protect myself with it?
Driving is also more about precision than APM: how close to the rail you can drift, optimal pathing through several curves, knowing how to prepare your position for the next curve, etc. I don't feel that a high APM would contribute to a better game with all of that in mind.
