HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>713714654 (OP)
You WILL play the game the way Nintendo wants you to.
What are you gonna do about it, BITCH?

what the fuck is their problem

NOOOOO!!! RANDOM IS RANDOM NOW NOOOOOOO!!! *rips off diaper and stomps on it* FUCK YOU NINTENDO!!!!

It's over

>>713714654 (OP)
Why does Nintendo always insist upon itself

>>713714654 (OP)
It's the most popular game in the world and it's like they're actively trying to kill it.
Obviously that's not really it, it's more just a hubris thing. But still. What the fuck?

>why does this game built around the open world gimmick insist on using open world tracks?
...

>>713714820
Because they know losers like you are a tiny minority.

>>713714654 (OP)
Shu....Shut UPPPPP

>>713714654 (OP)
this is a good change

if you want 3 laps you can do time trials or play mk8

Random was fine until people started abusing it and forcing other players to play without intermission courses. The average casual player is the bottom line for Nintendo and when little Timmy wants to drive to Moo Moo Meadows and can't because some random faggot youtuber is brigading for everyone to choose random just so he can sweat it out on 3 laps, it ends up deterring casual players from enjoying or wanting to play the game. Nintendo will ALWAYS care about the casuals more than the sweats so idk why you retards act surprised by this update.

>>713714942
No seriously why can't we choose to race on tracks in Mario Kart
You know that game Xboys said was mediocre because it was an open world racing game with almost nothing in it? It let you pick your open world tracks, even if you picked random events.
It also had races on circuits
It also cost $60 at launch
It also has thousands of more cars than Mario Kart

Xbox's mediocre car slop is still superior to the flagship title of Nintendo's $500 brick, and Xboys didn't even like it while tendies slurp this shit up because it has fucking Mario's face on the cover.

GET BACK ON THE STRAIGHT LANES GAIJIN

Literally just start a private party

>>713715312
>Random was fine until people started abusing it and forcing other players to play without intermission courses.
Good, fuck them. They are shit. Anyone who likes them is ten years old or legitimately stupid. It's just hang back until you bag gold mushrooms and then just sleepwalk to the finish line in a straight line because nothing on the overworld matters if you have a gold mushroom because it's all just a straight fucking line.

You know what other racing games let you do when it comes to track selection at random? Veto/blacklist maps. Because some courses are just shit to play, but in this game it's the entire fucking linear overworld.

>>713714794
they changed it to where it's no longer random.

Bit of a shame how they don't respect the tracks they put into the game.

>>713714654 (OP)
AAAAAHHHHH NOOOO!!! I HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME!!!! FUCK YOU NINTENDO, I NEED TO USE THAT TIME TO TAKE MY HRT!!!!!

>>713715532
>>713714794
Why isn't it random now and why do I have to play your shitty straight lines that everybody cheats at?

>>713715448
and get 23 people to join? good fucking luck

>>713714960
Just curious, what’s your reason for preferring the connecting courses over the real courses?

>>713715580
chud sybau and play how nintendo wants you to play

>>713715605
>and get 23 people to join? good fucking luck
Who said anything about 23 people?
I played with 3 friends yesterday and had a much better time than a full lobby of strangers.

>>713714654 (OP)

why does nintendo hate the comp community?

>>713715605
Surely the /v/ lobby fills up

NOOOOO WHY IS MY CASUAL RACING GAME CASUAL NO NO NO NO NO
*inhales*
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

He's a tendie and would eat Miyamoto's shit out of his asshole.

>>713714654 (OP)
it's hilarious that people went from no real criticism and saying the game is just fine and people are just making up reasons to be angry to everyone hating it when they suddenly have to actually play all the tracks in the game. why is that?

>>713714654 (OP)
wtf is a "wireless" race

I hope Konkey Dong is good, so I don't feel like I wasted all this money on a Bing Bing Wahoo machine.

>>713715750
Just because it's casual doesn't mean it has to be shitty. This game is also a casual racing game but it's not obnoxiously shitty >>713715358

>>713715828
Multi-console or online multiplayer

>>713715675
>>713715448
literally this
Mario Kart is a party game best enjoyed with friends.
You will have more fun playing the game splitscreen at 30fps with 3 friends, maybe even while drinking beer, than you will online with 23 strangers who are outsweating you at every turn.

>>713715974
based and bro pilled

>>713715805

Before, it was everyone pointing out how stupid niggertendies were to buy a console with ONE game

Now it's niggertendies realizing that their one game SUCKS

>>713715805
the issue is a majority of those "tracks" arent fun

you paid 80 dollars and you will play it in the way that it was intended to be. can you fucking ingrates stfu and play the game

Mario Kart World is legitimately a massive downgrade from Mario Kart 8

>>713715974
This, too, is a racing party game enjoyed with friends, why doesn't it have obnoxiously shitty "features" like forcing people to drive halfway across the map to participate in races like Mario Kart does?

Xböts don't even like this game, they thought it was slop, but it's premium tendo slop by comparison

There’s virtually no ways to use the new trick system in connecting courses. If there are, it makes you go slower, not faster

There are very few turns in connecting courses making it very simple and require no driving skill

The only shortcuts in connecting courses are just patches of grass you mushroom through

Connecting courses are extremely prone to mindless item spam

Whether you finish the connecting course part of it in 1st or 24th has no bearing on the race results

Why would anyone prefer this over the normal courses? Please, give me a concrete explanation as to why connecting courses are better in terms of gameplay compared to traditional 3 lap courses

>>713714654 (OP)

>>713716148
Nice mask, tendie. Shouldn't you be playing your empty open world simulator with forced straight lines?

>>713716814
yet it's better than MKW what does that say about the absolute state of Nintendo right now?

Remember, you can reply to me but only after you drive for five minutes in a straight line HAHAHA

>>713717831
They'll make 3laps mode dlc and these totally "angry" tendies will buy it, based

>open world in a racing game
>mini games with rewards
why are people acting like this is a brand new concept that Nintendo should get tons of praise for? The open world isn’t even good in the new Mario Kart

>>713717938
I actually wonder how much they're gonna charge for their dlcs, the Booster Course pass for MK8 was 25 dollars but something tells me they might charge more for less nowadays.

>>713718089
8 new tracks, $40 USD

>>713716391
kart racing is always more fun due to physics. forza also don't have any online lobbies + the online records are all cheated + story mode to unlock stuff will reduce iq.

>>713714654 (OP)
What does this mean? Some tracks got cut out of the random pool? Why?

>>713719147
starting today, the 3 intermission tracks will have a 75% to be picked from the random selection.

>>713719147
Random in normal online races now can, and mostly, will, select intermission tracks.

>>713718996
holy shit

Nintendo started out making cards for gamblers. They don't care about skill based games, or even meaningfull content. They care about keeping as many retards occupied with their crap and spending money on it. They WILL actively sabotage their games if it means keeping idiots engaged

>>713720349
You can see this with pretty much all of their franchises, mario, pokemon whatever. The actual games continue to get worse and worse while they keep shoveling in mechanics that tickle the brains of people with adhd, kids, addicts and ofcourse salarymen with fried brains. It's that simple

>>713717996
MKW is pretty funny
What you posted nobody has ever heard of

I just bought Mario kart, did I fuck up bros

Time to play the Cars games I guess.

>>713718089
Is it the fact that they’re charging $80 for indie tier games like Kirby that makes you think that?

>>713722635
It's probably the most popular game in the world right now
It's certainly the best selling

>>713715580
How do you cheat in the intercourse tracks?

>>713724101
If I don't win it's because someone else cheated, obviously

>>713723886
Roblox's Grow a Garden mogs it with popularity. Not even close.

do all tracks have a 3 lap version?
Could it be done?

>>713724339
oh?

>>713724389
Just play in a closed group with friends

>>713714654 (OP)
Nintendo HATES it when people want to play things differently than the way they do
Remember how Sakurai kept pushing 2 minute time matches in Smash Bros as the default and even forced the composers to only make their tracks 2 minutes long?

>>713716230
>Whether you finish the connecting course part of it in 1st or 24th has no bearing on the race results
I'm not paying $800 for a fisher price tablet so I don't have the game, but does the person in first not start the main race earlier if they arrive first, or does the game just pause until everyone's at the track?

>>713724101
Less of a "cheat" and more that bounderies and what's considered off course are a hell of a lot more loose.
I can't find the webm of it, but there's one in the lava area where the lava has full collision, even dripping off the track. So people wall ride it and zip across huge gaps since the line races also have way fewer hidden checks than the actual circuits.

>>713724724
Which game was that? WiiU?

>>713722635
Nintendo is their world, they're cultists who spent $500 just to play Mario Kart for the next 9 months.

I don’t get the intermission tracks, even conceptually for a business its retarded.
Who the hell wants to pay to do go-karting in a straight line? I’ve never heard of any go kart tracks which were only 1 lap point a to point b, shit would be out of business for doing dumb shit like that.
This is especially true in Mario Kart where you have items thrown into the mix, its fundamentally retarded to even conceptualize.

Nintendo fans when Mario Kart WORLD has you race in the WORLD instead of in enclosed tracks

>>713726141
how else were they going tomake the openw orld work?

>>713726543
Open world was a dumb idea, they should have made it like every other Mario Kart

ok I've got a cool new game concept that makes use of the open world. Open world battle mode. Each player starts at one end of the map and they have to drive to the other players to shoot them.

BASED Nintendo BASED Nintendo BASED Nintendo
RANDOMSHITTERS BTFO to the LAST game!!!!
>HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>713722730
Because after the patch, 90% of the time it picks one of the three other tracks that were selectable, rather than every track in the game having an equal chance of being picked, which is what it did before the patch.

>>713722320
why do you keep posting this dude

>>713718996
perhaps the funniest exploit ive ever seen in a racing game??? how the fuck do you ever miss this in testing

>>713726269
yeah but why the fuck cant they have a goddamn option for racing in 3 laps. like all of the previous ones even then your still racing in the fucking world

So there will be like a week of pissy youtube videos now before everyone goes back to playing the game like nothing happened, huh?

>>713731218
yeah

>>713731218
why would i go back to playing a game where the devs want me to stare at a screen holding A for 4 minutes

do japanese give a fuck about this at all?

>>713724724
>Nintendo HATES it when people want to play things differently than the way they do
in all fairness, Sony games worse about this still

>>713725007
it's all loaded in from the start

I'm really bad at mario kart.

In all fairness, DK Spaceport, Rainbow Road, and certain iterations of Mario Circuit still let you play the entire track even with intermission leading to them

>>713731780
yes they're complaining just as much

>>713732025
interesting. maybe they'll actually fix it then. japanese devs only care about japanese opinions

Sounds insanely fun, just needs to zero in on like 3 courses at a time and the playable area is constantly shrinking

>>713715527
They literally made random be able to chose all the tracks now.

>>713726543
Put more than one lap at the destination?
It’s not like they’re grievously long.

Wow the youtubers who claimed Switch 2 games were $90, there was going to be no physical games and Nintendo would randomly show up to your house and beat you to death with a brick are grifting again?

Mario Kart 8 sold 70 million copies.
Most people that play this won't even know what they're missing

>>713722635

yes, they are completely detached from the actual gaming industry

>>713718996
Casuals would cry so fucking hard about muh compfags and muh developer intent if this was a Nintendo game.

>>713718996
That side hopping straight out of ocarina of time

They need to just add a mode that is solely 3 lap courses
But they won't because no one would play the straight line slop

>>713722635
Yes, they have absolutely no idea of the greater games industry. Just ask one of them how many copies Croc Legend of the Gobos sold. They probably haven't even heard of it. I'd laugh if it weren't so worrying.

but do they have the balls to stop playing?

>>713714654 (OP)
so most people dont like the "driving between the courses" part of the game and Nintendo was like

Is that the gist of what all these threads are saying?

>>713733285
yes

>>713733285
>most people
*most streamers, youtubers, and game journalists

could it have something to do with accounting? If people don't play the intermissions, Nintendo will have to count that as a loss of millions of dollars in development costs, but if people do play, then Nintendo can say that every part of the game has been profitable

YOU WILL PLAY MARIO COMMUTE, AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.

>>713733285
yes, although keep in mind also >>713733461 is technically true
When I've just talked to people who play the game, they're not as critical of the intermission courses, a lot of them even prefer knockout mode over versus online.
Anecdotal yes, but so are youtube videos.

>no real criticism a
donkey kong looks kinda mid bro

>>713734147
They are not all straight retard. Furthermore the relaxing intermissions that exist are a nice break and buildup to the amazing graphical wonderland the key spots are. It gives karts with a higher speed time to shine and also.. it's not my fault if you don't make use of the ton of shortcuts they all have and can't aim items. The intermissions introduce a pleasant rhythm to the game that the game and primary tracks were designed for. If you don't like it just think of it as a qualifying race. There's really nothing wrong with them the only people that are complaining are those that are retarded or poor or couldn't get a switch.

Can someone tell me where this phenomenon came from? Nothing to do with Mario Kart but where did this way of captioning came from and why has it become as main stream as it has?

>>713715627
Not that anon but the connection courses are filled with things that you only see in the P Switch missions like tornados, the big boats, planes, and trucks that you can ride. I didn't like that most competitive players wanted to control the chaos by selecting random for a bigger chance of geting a controlled environment that could get them a first place becuase they practiced bullshit on time trials. Connection tracks allow for other players to have a chance at winning by getting lucky at the connection races. Controlling the chaos only results in the chaos fighting back, and this time it bit the competitive side hard in the ass by trying to control the chaos.
All of the competitive faggots can bite my ass.

Nintendo's Mario Kart World is a large open world. The gimmick is that you drive on the road from track to track, visiting the different locations.
A race will only have 1 lap on the actual track, and 2 laps on the "between track driving" segment. So-called "intermission tracks".

The tracks themselves are actually pretty well made, some of them at least. But the intermission tracks are NOT well made. They are usually straight lines. They have extremely long off-road cuts you can take, making bagging overpowered. The best strategy on an intermission-track race is to barely play the game, until the last half lap. Your placement in the race will be entirely determined by your item pulls in the last few sets.

The ONLY way you can actually get a 3-lap race in this game is to select "random" from the menu. So it became customary for almost everyone to select it. Competitive leagues were starting, and the rule was, everyone HAD to pick "random" or you would be disqualified.

Nintendo's newest update is essentially removing that option. Now you HAVE to play the intermission-races if you want to play online. Basically destroying any fun or competitive aspect to the online gameplay

Here is the top player in Mario Kart 8 explaining it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx1IkdpCdPU

>>713735198
Tan Daisy is so much hotter than cumskin Daisy

>>713734659
It's good you just can't appreciate good design because you're too focused on winning rather than the game

>>713735307
I totally agree but I don't have a lot of images of tan Daisy showing her ass.

>>713735198
I don't hate the connections, but anon, you KNOW the connection mode is MORE competitive due to bagging strats.

>>713735198
>regular Mario Kart courses are now "too controlled", even with 24 players and wall-driving
I was fucking wrong here >>713734659. We're already outright at the point where tendies are willing to pretend they never liked any of the Mario Kart games before World anyway.
>>713735368
If it's good design then they wouldn't pissily double down on forcing it after players initially found a way to bypass it and frequently took advantage of it. Or do you also think Paper Mario Sticker Star was good design just because Nintendo tripled down on it despite its reception?

>>713735303
The open-world is the worst part of a game toting having an open-world as its latest feature?
Sounds pretty on-point, Nintendo is based for making it more obvious.

>>713735198
>competitive
unless you are playing with a lobby full of 8000s and 9000s there is no competitive player in your lobby. you are just a fucking loser who is bad at this game.

What's so odd is how /v/ is reacting to this. You all hated the intermissions too. But because this update is causing reddit and normies to be pissed, you have to act differently. Heaven forbid you do something similar to reddit! So now you pretend that this is a great update and you love the schadenfreude.
You guys are so pathetic lmfao

>>713735628
The open world itself is fine for what it is, the problem lies in how Nintendo arranged the online standard race track selection.
A mere 3-lap-only toggle in online settings would go a long way, similar to how they did online rules in Smash Ultimate.

Bananas are worthless in the non-circuit maps.

>>713735303
>Nintendo's Mario Kart World is a large open world. The gimmick is that you drive on the road from track to track, visiting the different locations.
Fact Check: TRUE
>A race will only have 1 lap on the actual track, and 2 laps on the "between track driving" segment. So-called "intermission tracks".
Fact Check: MOSTLY TRUE
Context: Some intermission tracks will include the entirety of the Track anyway, resulting in a longer general experience. Examples of this include tracks that end in DK Spaceport, SNES Mario Circuit or Rainbow Road, which they themselves are not 3-lap tracks but rather much larger loops with checkpoints throughout them. Mt.Wario and N64 Rainbow Road in MK8 worked the same way.
>The tracks themselves are actually pretty well made, some of them at least. But the intermission tracks are NOT well made. They are usually straight lines. They have extremely long off-road cuts you can take, making bagging overpowered.
Fact Check: Misleading
"Straight Lines" gets thrown around as a buzzward. There are many generally direction-oriented intermission tracks, while others are not straight at all. Whetehr they are "fun" is also subjective.
>The best strategy on an intermission-track race is to barely play the game, until the last half lap. Your placement in the race will be entirely determined by your item pulls in the last few sets.
Fact Check: Mostly FALSE
While bagging can be a productive strategy, saying "do nothing" is another buzzword and misleading take.
>The ONLY way you can actually get a 3-lap race in this game is to select "random" from the menu. So it became customary for almost everyone to select it. Competitive leagues were starting, and the rule was, everyone HAD to pick "random" or you would be disqualified.

>>713735628
>>713736005
The Open World is justified by Knockout Tour which is legitimately super fun.
But it doesn't need to be shoved into regular more traditional play.
The complaints about the change to the randomized are justified, but anyone telling you teh open world aspect of the game is just bad is being disingenuous.

>>713734246
To be fair, Burnout Paradise doesn't have tracks to begin with. Unlike some other games or even MKW, they just built a city and told players "okay fuck it we aren't gonna regulate the race lines". You functionally cannot escape the concept by the game's design.
MKW on the flip side HAS tracks, it has single races, and it supported them online prior while still having the shit Competitive mode, so by all accounts, having a single race circuit setup online is a no-brainer, but Nintendo in their infinite autism designed their way is the highway.

So do I; or if it's a video that contains another video with these sort of captions, I look away until the section with captions are over. But yeah, if a whole or most of a video did this I would close it. I can't stand it.

>>713736516
Xbox, despite putting their games on PC, still segregate between Windows Store as their own proprietary marketplace versus Steam, to the point of exclusives even if barely worth a notable damn. And since virtually no one actually cares for Windows Store besides for Game Pass and with pack-in deals for Xbox games that give PC copies? There's basically nothing to really write down there.

>>713736414
>release the switch 2 which is basically a repeat of the switch with a bigger screen and a 2 hour battery life
It's significantly more powerful and capable than the Switch 1. It's a bigger generational jump than the Switch 1 was from the Wii U or the Wii U was from the Wii

Nah, Knockout Tour is a blast and completely justifies it. Complaining about the Free Roam mode you don't even have to play ruining the game is like complaining about Forge ruining Halo 3.

...you ok? Did you just have a stroke or something?

>>713736064
>"Straight Lines" gets thrown around as a buzzward. There are many generally direction-oriented intermission tracks
the turns on the intermission tracks are even worse than the straights, because they introduce massive overpowered shortcuts you can take across grass. With a golden mushroom, you are almost guaranteed to get in the back, you can instantly surge into 1st place if you take such a cut. Why wouldn't you just bag every race? In fact that's what everyone is doing. The first 2 laps of an intermission race don't even matter. You can be in any placement, or do anything, even drive backwards, it won't affect your final placement.
>While bagging can be a productive strategy, saying "do nothing" is another buzzword and misleading take.
It's not just a productive strategy, it's THE strategy on all the intermission tracks. It's completely overpowered. You just coast along the first 2 laps of long boring straights. Then on the final lap you actually start playing the game. Usually your placement is decided by the last few item sets, that's how a bagging track goes.

>>713735981
They don't even play the game

>>713714820
>look at me I'm quoting family guy

>>713736839
Not him, but you're late to the party.
The bagging strat has already started to break down because what happened is everyone started doing it, so more traditional racing has now ensued again. A lot of bagging strats now result in someone quite literally falling too far behind to catch up.
It can still be a useful strat, but the sucvess rate has fallen off a cliff. The golden age of bagging in World expired about 10 days ago.

>>713736696
>still segregate between Windows Store as their own proprietary marketplace

>95% of the whiners in this thread dont even play the game.
it's pretty obvious.
I expect a big astroturfed talking point about how Sonic Kart #172516 featuring SpongeBob is somehow better even though it will die in under 3 weeks again.

All Nintendo had to do was let you race three laps after taking the intermission to the course, and no one would complain. I honestly thought that was how it was gonna go.

>>713736820
How poor do you have to be where a video game is a luxury good? Couldn’t be me.

>>713714654 (OP)

oh give me a break, it's exactly the same thing. You're just buying a polished up version of the old thing.
> Knockout Tour is a blast
Then why is nobody playing it competitively? Because if you get hit with a shell before a gate, you can get knocked out of the race. If you get hit with a blue shell before a gate, you can get knocked out of the race. There is barely any skill involved until the last lap. Plus it's all intermission tracks, which are terrible.
>Complaining about the Free Roam mode you don't even have to play ruining the game is like complaining about Forge ruining Halo 3.
Why did they give you an empty world? Why didn't they give you the ability to make and share your own custom tracks? Halo 3 gave you a forge builder years ago but Mario Kart World didn't even give you that.
>Mushrooms are actually just as powerful as in 8
They are way more powerful, because the pack is so rubber banded in this game, that it's usually tighly clustered together. So one mushroom across a cut can advance you into a top spot. And with the intermission tracks especially, mushrooms are extremely OP
>: The market has justified the cost of the good
Nintendo provides you with cute smiling characters talking in "bing bing wahoo" language. The main selling point for Mario Kart world is the cute smiling faces on all the characters, and how cute and smiling everyone is, in their cartoonish bodies.
This company is selling you nostalgia and saccharine cute images. But why is that so convincing to you? You should be demanding more, like a game that's actually worth a damn.

>>713734631
people are dumb
the worst i've seen are those people who upload videos of them staring at the screen silently with a giant paragraph on the screen

>>713737252
Yes, but again more people are doing that so your relative odds just mathematically speaking are not as good as they used to be.
Again don't get me wrong. Bagging can still work, I'm not trying to damage control the game, and I strongly disagree with Nintendo making this change to how Randowm course selection works, but it's not a surefire win anymore.

>>713737464
All they have to do now is just add a standard circuit playlist so people that prefer 3 lap races can still do them separately of the intermission-focused stuff. Like, even if the playerbase heavily skews entirely in that mode's favor, there really isn't a point to leaving this out as an option. It's the sort of boneheaded decision only Nintendo would push.

>>713737491

>>713737523
>oh give me a break, it's exactly the same thing. You're just buying a polished up version of the old thing.
Again, this is simply objectively wrong. Do you think they're intentionally making the
same games run like shit on the switch for the last 5 years just so they can run significantly better now? We know what's in the machine. It's a significant upgrade.
>Then why is nobody playing it competitively?
You know anon I hear if you just say things enough they will be true! Keep it up!
Knockout is fully populated and plays fine.
>Why did they give you an empty world?
Again, The open world is justified by the existence of Knockout Tour, which is a blast to play.
>They are way more powerful
Nope, youre just wrong again. We have the stats. The speed increase is actually identical. It's one of the only stats they didn't change lol.
>Nintendo provides you with cute smiling characters talking in "bing bing wahoo" language. The main selling point for Mario Kart world is the cute smiling faces on all the characters, and how cute and smiling everyone is, in their cartoonish bodies.

>>713736059
git gud at sniping

>>713726269
The WORLD part is the shittiest part of the game. It’s a straight line with maybe 1 giant gentile curve that lets anyone with a golden mushroom get easy 1st place.
The tracks are the only actual good thing in this game. Turns out that doing more than just hold A is way more interesting than Desert Bus 2.

>>713735303
Not every intermission is two laps some are just one

>>713735548
They changed it because people were getting upset random only did old style tracks everyone wants to play the new ones with intermissions

>>713735307
okay, israelite

>>713737886
>playing mario kart online sounds like the most boring shit ever
I don't know about "ever" but I agree with your general sentiment.
Mario Kart is a Party game.
It's the Smash Bros/Mario Party/Halo of driving games. That's NOT a bad thing. It's a blast with friends and alcohol be it in person or online. But yeah, online competitive matchmaking is just a vastly different and inferior experience.

Now that all being said, I still think the change Nintendo made here is dumb.

>>713738192
>They changed it because people were getting upset random only did old style tracks everyone wants to play the new ones with intermissions

>>713738116
>Knockout is fully populated and plays fine.
none of the competitive players are playing it, because it's all intermission tracks and the "knockout" aspect is not a fair gameplay mechanic when shells, or the undodgeable blue shell, can instantly send you into elimination
> The open world is justified by the existence of Knockout Tour, which is a blast to play.
You might as well be rolling a dice for fun then, because that's knockout tour. Your skill at driving doesn't play into it.
> We have the stats. The speed increase is actually identical.
Yeah but when the pack is tightly rubber banded together, like this game, where the distance from 20th to 2nd is two or three mushrooms, then getting a mushroom matters a lot. Mushrooms are really powerful in this game and your placement is very much determined by the number of mushrooms your rolled.
>It's the fastest selling console of all time.
It plays on your nostalgia, the nintendo brand name.

The major selling point of Mario Kart world is the cute smiling characters. That's where all the focus of the game went, and that's the only big selling point of the game. Nintendo games are for children.

>>713734261
whichever one causes the most seethe

>>713714654 (OP)
Put everyone who picked random in prison, Nintendo. They tried to break your game

>>713738869
Single races only. Or you could go to Competitive, which is 12 players that have to do 12 three-lap races back to back. Literally this game is so focused and primed on intermissions that every mode otherwise forces you into them besides the Free Roam they were all built around in the first place.

>>713736629
Ancient Japan's "sushi" (AKA fish on a rice ball) used to be essentially "fast food", you'd go to a stall, get ONE big ball of rice with fish on top, eat with your hand and fuck off. Modern sushi is just bite-sized but the idea remains the same so it's acceptable to eat it with your hands even in Japan.

Actually no. Wrong again. In fact lately some of the better players are winning by close to a lap now, like in 8 Deluxe.
>It plays on your nostalgia, the nintendo brand name.

Halo is very clearly a party game.
It can be competitive, but it's best experienced via LAN or with closed group multiplayer.
The developers have been clear about this as well. It's only after the new studio started trying to make the gamea cater to the esports crowd that the franchise has fallen into obscurity.

>>713739334

It's not like Mario Kart World needs your sale at this point to be a dominant game.

There's tons of shortcuts along that route and it has really intense battles of skill with the items. It's where you truly shine if you're good at aiming and the mechanics.

>>713739334
The game is actually really good. The vast majority of people love it including me. The issues are REALLY being overblown I haven't met anyone saying all of the shit people claim to be game ending issues are here. It's very much a bubble here.

No, they aren't anon. They aren't playing it. The competitive guys aren't interested in playing the intermission tracks. That's why above a certain ranking everyone was picking "random", so they could actually do a 3 lap race. Nintendo just removed their ability to do that.
>Considering I place in the top 4 more often then not, I must just be extremely lucky lol.
or you're just playing against babies. Nobody actually competitive is playing that mode.
>Actually no. Wrong again.
I'm not though. It's the most rubber banded mario kart of them all. I'm not the only one saying this, videos have been made on this.
>Then the market has Nintendo nostalgia?
Nintendo is playing on your nostalgia to jack up the price and sell you cute smiling faces. But what they're selling you isn't worth a shit.
Historically they'd produce games that were actually innovative and groundbreaking with new ideas. Like Mario 64, that's breaking the boundaries of gameplay at the time. Or Double Dash. Or Ocarina of Time.
But today, they aren't doing that. They're selling you Mario Slop World. Where is the trackbuilder this game should have had? Where is the procedural generated open world? That would be actually innovative. Instead they just gave you barren lands with "drive through the rings" sidequest missions, that aren't even recorded towards a completion objective.

You have a rewind feature and free roam and can easily teleport to any of them. Also it's not supposed to be something you're good at instantly and you learn and grow over time. If you're too scared of losing you're never going to try them and get better.

Strong disagree.
Peach Beach got a massive upgrade.
DK Spaceport is awesome and one of the most popular tracks in the game.
Mario Circuit is soul incarnate due to its huge historical nod to the first game.
The new Rainbow Road is likewise a huge nod to what came before and is long and enjoyable as fuck.

It's weird that you claim 8's sectional tracks are better. The game launched with 2 of them, MT. Wario, which is excellent, and N64 RR which is terrible. Blink and you'll miss it.
Then we have the DLC 1-track courses, most of which city courses that are terirble. 3DS RR is great, but that's really it.

>>713741496
Lol this game will flop
But yeah I do love how much it makes autistic sonic loretards reeeeee that the comic characters are getting in

>>713741514
The different is Big Blue or Wahu were specially designed for what they were, you're getting a track that is straight up focused in its one-run gimmick to only ever work that way every time. When you have to make a bunch of highway roads that NPC cars can navigate which connect each track in a real-time space, and these highways have to be interchangeable for every notable race-to-race intermission, the most you can do is throw on some generic boosters and maybe mess with NPC spawn probability for vehicles you can ramp trick off of. Without that specialized focus and design, these highways become bland as shit.

It fucks with the tracks, too. A big thing for Mario Kart is discovering shortcuts and routes, trying to optimize how you play mid-race and reacting to what other players do each lap. Now you only do one lap on the tracks, so you get like no time to care, it just segues into a straight run and nothing else. Every track is already notably wider because they have to accommodate for 24 racers going through at once, but they obviously are just lacking some of the distinct refinement of prior games because now every course has to be entered from free roam / intermission too.

>>713742128
For this same reason, World has more replayability

>This game will flop
Try again, it'll easily get a better metacritic score than MKW

>>713742285
LOL

>>713715358
cartel game

It’s kind of telling that no one actually defends the gameplay of the intermission segments, they just gloat at ‘compfags’ and ‘snoys’

>>713742257
Not really. If you start a race in one track, you only have a couple intermissions to pick from for adjacent tracks. So you'll then see those same intermissions over and over and over. If every race is a one-shot run, and every race past the first becomes an intermission, the less actual replayability you get. No track can be designed exclusively as one-way, because they ALL have to carry the transition.

>they really didn't make a proper costume selection, they just jammed all the costumes into the character list
???

>>713742608
There are shortcuts and optimal boost opportunities in every single intermission track.

>>713742554
Intermission tracks work in Knockout Tour, so I'll defend them to an extent, but forcing them into Versus is just retarded.

>>713714654 (OP)
You get what you paid for.

>>713714960
Correct, you could pay $80 for garbage or just keep playing the good game you already own

>NOOOO IT'S A PALETTE CLEANSER!!!
Too bad.

>>713715312
Random spam wasn't "abuse," it was the only mechanism people had to play regular ass Mario Kart. If there was any way to play REGULAR ASS MARIO KART with randoms without resoting to that, that's what we would do.

Nintendo created this problem by making a design decision a lot of people don't like. But as usual rather than cede ground to the fanbase, they double down on the bad decision.

I genuinely don't understand how this whole experience managed to convince retards like you that the way they've played the game for decades is "sweaty"

>Preordered from walmart
>order got randomly cancelled during that wave of random cancellations
>was upset yet got a chance the SAME day to get one from target
>chose to just drop the idea and say fuck it to switch 2
>this thread

Honestly feels like I dodged a bullet here. Loved MK8 but this whole shit with the tracks looks like 100% unfun cancer and I'm fucking glad I am not having to bother with it. I'll eventually get a switch 2 down the line when it gets an emulator

>>713742039
Lol no it will not. But I know you're love getting cucked by Nintendo so you feel the need to simpe for him no matter what.
Sonic won.

Same. The opinions on here are actual rage and you get shit on appropriately when something is fucked. Youtube/Leddit runs through a hugbox filter so you can never tell if the opinions there are being skewed or are legit

>>713743305
People love the game, they just don't want to only play intermissions.
The theory that people who i vest in Nintendo's games don't actually like them is a fallacy.

>>713714654 (OP)
Context?

>>713743657
If you have friends to play with this is largely not a problem

>>713732716
>The Mario Kart youtube community is fucking furious about this.

>>713744143
Indeed, hate and rage are all that matters, we must show the world we mean business by constantly complaining about everything.

>>713732716
>The Mario Kart youtube community

>>713744967
>all that matters
It's the most important. It's easy to get pat on the ass and be told "yeah this is all good, everything is fine" but being shit on and spat on when something is fucked is where actual feedback comes from.

Like if Nintendo had half a brain they would see players do not like this track shit and change it to be a different mode (taking criticism) but they won't because tendies have a strong hugbox mentality and won't allow their precious company to be slandered. Hate is important because it leads to good (if action is taken) people are pissed FOR A REASON

>tfw I mostly play knockout mode so this doesn't bother me

>>713714654 (OP)
I'm not a tendie. Someone explain what this is.

>>713740165

>>713714654 (OP)
QRD on what the problem is? I didn't fall for the Switch 2 meme so no idea what this is about

>>713745315
people were selecting "random" to skip the boring drive-in-a-straight-line-for-five-minutes "intermission" tracks
now these tracks can pop up even when you select random.

>>713745674
Every single match in the game would be roughly the length of MK64's Rainbow Road at that point. If it were up to me, I would just guarantee that at least one of the votes is 3 laps.

>>713714654 (OP)

>>713745796
The bread and butter of Mario Kart is racing laps around a track. In Mario Kart World, the new racing format is a drag race down a straight road until you get to the track, and then you only do one lap around the track instead of the usual 3 from past games. This is an issue because it’s not fun at all and only a very, very small subset of extreme Nintendo dickriders like it. Luckily, we figured out that during the map selection screen for online matches, if everyone just chooses the random course option it will ALWAYS give you a traditional 3 lap course to race instead of the boring new drag race. Everything was good for a few weeks, and almost every online match ended up as a 3 lap race. Nintendo caught wind of this and basically made it far, far more likely for you to end up with a drag race, and now you only have around a 10-20% chance of getting a 3 lap race. So the game is just fundamentally dogshit to play online now

first time?

>>713745913
>>713745674
imo they should've made intermissions be one race, then have a 3 lap race at the track as the next round instead of this weird middle ground

>>713746269
Wait what? So you could play for 4 hours and only play drag races everytime if you have bad RNG?

>>713746469
Yeah, although it’s unlikely for it to be 4 hours. I could easily see 1.5-2 hours of never playing a standard race though

>>713714718
>you will play the game the way devs wanted you to
so like every game?

I’ve literally been sitting in this lobby for 6 minutes waiting for people to join so the game starts, it’s never been like this and I’ve played every day since launch. Is it seriously already dead?

>>713746565
What's the fucking point of having the 3-lap option then

>>713745942
>nintendo behind competition for decades
>consoomers want them to be like the other guys
>finally make a console like the other guys
>NOOO ANTI-CONSOOMER REEEEEEEEEE

>>713746565
Usually it’s not an issue because the ‘Nintendo way’ is fun. But in this case, the core of MKW is just bad. They failed to make the intermission sections fun

>>713746719
We wanted more modern hardware. Not more modern practices. Stop acting like they needed to be married.

>>713746701
It's fucked because all the code exists already, private lobbies and offline versus or single races are all there. You can quite literally just do that if you really want to.. but not online in public.

>>713714654 (OP)
What does this even mean?

>>713745315
Look at this image.
People didn't wanna race these straight line courses, they wanted actual courses, the regular 3 lap ones with twists and turns, picking random always gave you a course, now it also gives intermission courses(which everyone hates)

>>713746561
>it's unlikely
why, because you know the exact odds of each map getting selected?

>>713745674
>desu nobody would have had an issue with intermissions if you still drove 3 laps at the actual track once you got there
this actually is the case for some of the tracks still even in intermission mode

Can't you just play the old Mario Kart on the Switch 2 or is that also dead?

How about I just get up and go on the computer for 5 minutes

>>713747369
Y'know how every mario kart game before let you drive at least 3 laps on a track?
Well now what if you had to drive to the track for 5 minutes, which by the way the path there is a straight line, and then you got to race on lap.

>>713734631
Same as what everyone else says (tiktok brain rot) but I think the method itself was originally discovered as a speed-reading hack. Flashing a word at a time helps you read really fast, I guess it helps grab your attention.

>>713746918
Maybe they're trying to make it like Nürburgring from Gran Turismo or some shit. Kek

Why not just some kind of drive to a cup hub area system?

3 min drive to the hub, play 3-4 races in that cup successively, then do the drive elsewhere

It'd have far better race/driving balance, than commute to work simulator

>>713714718
For $80 :)

you can tell Switchfags are absolutely furious about there being noticeable backlash by how hard they've been raiding threads today to repeat the same saleslop rhetoric that they've been vomiting nonstop for the past decade

>>713750936
were they the dominant style of course in that game by a wide margin?

>>713751183
So people liked them until they became common and now people despise them for not being rare.

for someone that doesnt know a single thing about mario kart world, can someone explain to me what happen?

>>713751459
Imagine if 80% percent of the Smash levels were Battlefield-likes and you were coerced into playing those as much as possible

>>713751598
Isn't that the tourneyfag wet dream? It's the reason Sakurai made BF and FD variants of every single stage.

>>713747813
That's a good point. What happens if you just don't drive to the finish?

I mean it's fine but something people seem to forget is that part of what makes gokarting fun is the kind of tracks that you drive a gokart on. And Mariokart is ultimately a gokarting game. The intermission tracks feel more like just a regular racing game and maybe they could perfect the formula in the future but I don't think they got it right here.

You have no guaranteed way to play 3-lap courses on public online anymore.
>World takes the stretches of road between the courses from the open world mode and makes them into part of the race by default (players commonly call these "intermission courses"), turning most races into non-lapped courses in public online
>most of them are considered to be bland and to not take advantage of the new/changed mechanics well
>normally the only way to get a lapped course on public online is if you're given the option of a track that isn't connected to the one you just did
>people quickly found out that using the Random option forces a traditional lapped race, which rapidly resulted in public lobbies being overwhelmed by players picking Random, proving that intermission courses were a bust with most players
>Nintendo just patched that quirk out of picking Random, making intermission courses possible (and much more likely than lapped courses due to how many more there are of them) to come up
>the only way to guarantee lapped courses online is to play in private lobbies, since you get to actually specify what you want there (but not on public)
Basically, Nintendo didn't like that people wanted to shy away from an option provided by the game, so they're making it much less optional like seething spoiled brats.

It doesn't feel like that's what is happening. I believe the people defending this are not actual diehard tendies, but falseflaggers trying to get under their skin. They use the sales and appeal to popularity shit against them because they know they're the very ones that bought into it.

>>713735481
I'm not a bagger, but is that the case? My understanding was that bagging was very helpful on courses with a lot of corners that can be cut with bagging, and the intermissions are pretty straight. Though I also heard bagging is good on low-skill courses with little tech which also applies to the intermissions.

Pretty questionable take. Basic ass timmy shooters like the starting gun have always been at the top of the meta. The restrictive map design is to prevent timmy from getting flanked, if anything compfags hated the map design more than casuals.

It's in their promotional material that the characters will be released throughout a period of time so yeah I don't doubt they're still WIPs otherwise they would all get released along with the game, it's far more retarded to think they would voice Miku but no one else for no reason.

>>713715498
>Anyone who likes them is ten years old
believe it or not thats the supposed target audience, you mong. you are in the wrong here

There are 2 modes, why can't knockout tour which is fun be the one for intermissions and regular world wide for regular tracks?
without the threat of getting eliminated, there's no reason to not bag for 8 minutes.

The only big flaw with MK world is nintendo completely missing the chance to do a battle royal battle mode, the arenas are way too tiny

Would it be so hard to split the current VS Mode so everyone can be pleased? Something like "World Tour Mode" for the current mode already in the game, and a "Classic Mode" for 3 lap tracks only.
Ironic how the open world game, which supposedly gives you freedom to drive everywhere, doesn't give you the freedom to play however you want.

Why did they need to do open world?

Just have knockout Tour as the new mode, and ditch the stupid empty boring open world.

The new tricking system with the rails should be the new highlight instead.

Rather than an Open World, they should have added a sandbox/forge mode where people can make their own tracks for racing and battles.

That's too much effort for the guys charging you $80 for a game.

Because an empty open world with nothing to do is so much better than the best mode in Halo 3?

Ok....

correct its called playing a mk game and not some tranny open world like they did to zelda

>More rallies when? I think they should let you pick 4 neighboring tracks, that'd basically be infinitely rallies
I expect them to add that, or maybe one that has rainbow road

>>713747093
cool see you at the end of summer when the games dead because no one wants to be forced to ride on a dogshit straight track in a kart racer

Why are you so retarded? They made Knockout Tour FIRST and then obviously that led to a shit ton of very long tracks so they just turned the leftover bits into an open world. Knockout Tour IS the new mode, the free roam is just a side effect of making knockout tour

>>713765913
however did the math got it backwards, it's the other way around, less than 10% chance to get a regular track in the 3 options you get, same goes for random

they'll probably have updated it by them but either way lol it's still got over 49 million copies to sell it won't be dead

And why did they waste dev time and resources on an open world with nothing to offer instead of just keeping the rallies and using those resources for content that would be more engaging? It's not like going from highways to filling all the crap surrounding the highways was done with a snap of the fingers, that was dev time and resources that could have gone somewhere else.
