now that the honeymoon is over, can we admit it's a colossal piece of shit and the worst Mario Kart since Super Circuit?

yet another 8snoy cope general

they cooked their own bacon with the rule change, maybe they will change it back

>>713755429 (OP)
It's worse than MK8 on the Wii U

Can we admit nobody likes Mario Kart and has been pretending it was "le fun with friends" since Double Dash?

It wasn't until the recent update. The amount they've jeopardized just to accommodate the open world aspect nobody asked for is insane.

>>713755429 (OP)
shut up sw1gger

>>713755429 (OP)
The open world formula adds nothing to the game.
Mario Kart don't need it.

If you play nothing but knockout tour then it's a non issue

Every big company needs a great big humbling every three years or so to prevent them from getting complacent, arrogant, and excessively greedy.

I fucking love this game

Why is this? Lack of effort? Different design philosophies?

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt thinking it was released bare bones because updates will keep improving it.
And then the first update they made was a major downgrade to online racing. Man oh man.

>>713756320
now this this is some shitty ass bait.

The game is great. Unlike this dogshite website ever since moot betrayed everyone during gg. Frankly I love yhat the update has triggered autistic sweaty retards that are upset because they can't just play on the same 3 tracks they spent hours practicing ridiculous shortcuts on.

>>713755429 (OP)

>colossal piece of shit

No, but overcooked with many design directions directly clashing with each other, on top of a LOT of user friendly features being completely absent (no audio mixing?)

It's fun but it's such a weird game. Middle of the road in terms of other Mario Karts.

>>713755429 (OP)
nah its fine

hating super circuit proves how much of a retard you are.

>worst Mario Kart since Super Circuit

That was Double Dash.
Then we got a reprieve with DS.
Then Wii was back to shit.
Then 7 was shit.
8 was shit.
8D was ultra shit.
Mario Kart Word is shit but funny because retard wannabe """pros""", who cried about actual good players from DS and got the series perma-gimped, are now having their fagbagging strats destroyed by Nintendo.
You get what you fucking deserve you casualfaggot cunts.

Could they really not think of anything more conceptually interesting than straight line tracks? Idk why they would think it's a really good idea.

ayo this track design is fire

I've finally started playing online, and I really wish they'd just make different modes for intermission and normal 3 laps.... because I'm tired of playing on 3 lap races! I went online today and I STILL played more 3 lap races than intermission races. Why isn't there a mode for people who don't care about sweating their balls off? The problem is that these two types of races attract completely different kinds of people, and there's no way separate from each other.

>>713755429 (OP)
Mario Kart Wii will always be the worst, sorry.

That said, I do think the decision they made with the recent update is very strange and worth analysis. They really thought people picking randoms was that much of an issue? They're charging $20 extra for a game and they'll still insist you're playing that game the wrong way? It's already difficult to play traditional 3 lap races, the only truly consistent option for players to do so is Time Trials (or having all your friends agree to only choose them in offline versus). And they're not going to admit to making a mistake with the update either. I am utterly fascinated by all this and how it will play out.

Mario kart is dogshit when you're bagfagging, intermissions or not.

>>713757101
Wow it looks like Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 64!

>>713763547
Snakeshitter fag's opinions are NOT worth listening to

>>713764736
And that has nothing at all to do with what he said you blind retard
No matter what speed the webm is at, the player is choosing to hang back and bag. He can just use the item to get into the thick of the race and guess what, it will be more interesting and fun then. Who would have guessed games are fun when you choose to actually play them!

the anti-nintendo crowd are potentially the most autistic group on this board, and thats saying something with V-tuber fans on here.

erictranny.. i kneel.. i should have never doubted you

>>713755684
I honestly like the open world aspect and hope they keep it going forward. The free roam missions are fun diversions to wind down after a couple races, and knockout tour is a great addition. They got greedy by trying to make the open world work for the Grand Prix format when it really just doesn't. I hope they don't let their pride bring the game down for much longer, just give us Classic Grand Prix in single player, offline and online multiplayer and World will unironically be one of the best Mario Kart games.

>>713755636
Mario kart was never good, it was popular on the N64 because there was not much else to play and on the wii and switch because normgroids want to zone out in a mindless multiplayer game with a recognizable brand attached

>>713756320
Redpill me on the recent praise for sonic R, people in the past treated it like it was the worst thing in the world but it seems like everyone glazes it nowadays, is it part of the sonic cycle?

>>713764910

Nope. I unironically want Intelligent Systems to make the next Mario Kart instead of yet another Fire Emblem game. It would no doubt be better than World.

>>713768058
ANYONE could make a better mario kart than world, doesn’t mean you can ask for it of the worst possible choice

>>713755429 (OP)
I know you're underaged but MK7 on 3DS existed.

>>713756320
What does the R stand for?

>>713757484
then you haven't played Sonic R
you can hold down the run button and use the walls to turn yourself without needing to do anything

They designed themselves into a corner with 8D

Like a snoy that likes Mario Kart 8? Do you know what snoy even means?

>>713766434
I wouldn't say everyone glazes it, the reception is much more mixed than that although it has improved over time. Part of it is that the music has become more liked compared to release and more people simply realize you're supposed to control the game like a racing game as if the character is a kart rather than a platformer. Part of it is also probably the pendulum just inevitably swinging backward in reaction to more overblown criticism. The main thing that made people dislike it has always been the controls, but I have literally never seen someone complain about the controls being bad who wasn't just playing poorly. They require getting used to and may be difficult at first, yes, and could use some improvement, but the extent to which people shit on them has long reached meme status. Like 90% of people's problem's with the controls vanish if you just drift properly in conjunction with using the d pad, the peak retardation is when someone complains about turning despite drifting making it a complete non-issue. People will unironically press left or right while standing still and not holding the gas button at all, see that Sonic in a stationary position is turning slowly because they're neither moving forward nor drifting in either direction, and say that the game's turning sucks. 90 and 180 degree turns are actually very easy once you realize the utility of drifting, but for whatever reason a lot of people never made it there because I guess they don't expect the game to play like a racing game due to the on-foot characters.
The other thing people don't like about Sonic R is that it only has five courses but they do have a lot to them. Sega and TT opted for a quality > quantity approach where you can replay the courses a lot if you like the game even if there's only five of them. Even the game's highly uneven balancing plays into this because the player can challenge themselves by racing Super Sonic or using one of the weaker characters.

Nah I am having a blast

>>713755429 (OP)
>super circuit bad
it's awesome as fuck and i don't think you played it.

I genuinely don't understand why they don't make an adventure mode with boss battles and fun missions. Why did kart racers peak on the PS1/N64? The same way that platformer overworlds peaked with DKC 3 on SNES (but at least the 2nd Yooka Laylee game also did something interesting again)
