Was it really THAT bad?

open world in a racing game is a gimmick that makes the experience worse.
i genuinely believed that burnout paradise had already proven this, i have no idea why it took another game for people to realize this

It can't possibly be worse than MK8

I quit to SPEEDSTORM!

>>713785546
paradise is better though

Yeah. It's really bad.

I'm playing right now chud

>>713786083
paradise is dogshit compared to burnout 3
open world is fundamentally incompatible with racing games

>>713785464 (OP)
nintendo is just going to close the servers for mk8

le sad mayrio

>>713785546
If the Switch 2 wasn't backwards compatible I'd be a lot more annoyed they went so bold with the series.
If I ever start getting annoyed with intermissions I'll just switch to 8 real quick and play the 100 fucking tracks that game has.

Have you noticed how "The screen sucks" thread spam got replaced with "Mario Kart update sucks" thread spam and suddenly no one cares about the screen anymore?
I just thought it's interesting

>>713785464 (OP)
Yeah, no one likes playing Desert Bus besides contrarian faggots who suddenly don't like three-lap races anymore which they didn't say for the past three weeks.

>>713786271
>and suddenly no one cares about the screen anymore?
To be fair it took people 3 whole weeks to start caring about the screen at all. If people genuinely cared it would have been a much bigger day 1 talking point.

>>713786271
Stop noticing things

>>713786271
>if you don't talk about every issue in every post you make it means you don't care about it!
stop acting like a woman, you will never be one

>>713785464 (OP)
You know Switch 2 and Mario Kart are doing unbelievably well when you see all these retarded clickbaits popup like pimples on OPs teenage ass.

>>713786414
It's genuinely kind of amazing how much 4chan rages about tendie cults considering Nintendo lives rent free in their mind 24/7.

>Was it really THAT bad?
Yes. Nintendo denied everyone a way to play simple races at launch by forcing open world shit into Grand Prix mode. People found a way to actually have fun with the game by choosing random and guaranteeing a 3 lap race. Nintendo then changed it so that no matter what you do, you're playing open world connection races instead of racing on actual tracks.
It's the biggest cunt move in recent memory. I don't even want to play the game now.

>>713786341
Like how it took people 3 whole weeks to start praising the shitty intermission courses because 3-lap races are suddenly for le ebil tryhards.

>>713785464 (OP)
tf does this nintardo mean "going back" like mario kart is something you permanently play lmao

>>713786612
By going back they mean "I'm going to make 1000 more videos of me bagging on cheese land so hopefully you keep watching them for another 8 years"

It's bad. It's the equivalent of Sakurai updating smash ultimate to online allow timed matches instead of stock because people were enjoying themselves too much

why does it smell in here all of the sudden?

>>713785546
The Forza Horizon games sold well and are popular with that formula though.

>>713786895
still shit compared to a traditional racing game

>>713786864
Your house is on fire.
R.I.P.,Anon.

>>713786975
and Mario Kart has always been a shit casualized kart game lel
yes anon even MK wii

>>713786271
You can own a switch 2 and be critical on some of the flaws it has. Mario kart world just wasn't worth the 80 dollar price tag, simple as. New DK game looks like I'd happily pay 100 bucks for it however.

You defend these companies tooth and nail because you're a poor fag and 500 bucks is basically an entire years wage for your brown village and then said company will start getting shitter knowing they can get away with it.

>>713787227
If you were actually critical, you wouldn't have bought it.

>>713786271
A single glance without even scrolling down and I saw a thread up right now about how the screen sucks.
What should really stop sucking are you fanboys slobbing on nutendo's knob. Grow a spine and get some goddamn standards or they're only going to keep getting worse.

>>713785464 (OP)

If you were doing it sincerely you wouldn't be robotically following a pattern of "critiques" where you only start criticising something after the influencers do.

Worst MK since Super Circuit. This game sucks.

Very organic isn't it

>>713789497
When else would you criticize an update like this other than when the update happens? Should I start preemptively complaining because I intuitively know they are going to see people having fun and put a stop to it? Maybe wait until Mario Kart 10 to talk about how much better or worse things are now? Also, what is your defense of the update if you don't like the "critiques"? Why do you prefer the game to be biased towards intermissions?

>>713789392
It's been up for 2 hours.

>>713786547
>People found a way to actually have fun with the game by choosing random and guaranteeing a 3 lap race.
Filthy gaijins aren't playing the game as mandated by Nintendo. YOU DON'T OWN the game so YOU can't play the game like YOU want to.
Nintendo has every right to update the game and force you to play the way they wanted to.

Why are people whining about completely meaningless shit so much?

>>713785464 (OP)
mario kart fans be like

i hate games where grinding on rails is automatic with no chance to fall

>>713785546
Nintendo designed the open world of MKW in a less intrusive way than Forza Horizon or Burnout Paradise. There's no real reason to do freeroam outside of exploration and stickers. Because of that the main game can just be navigated by a menu (thank god) and it's basically a completely normal Mario Kart experience.

>>713785464 (OP)
Anyone that uses AI slop for youtube thumbnails deserves to be buried alive.

>>713790818
we do be needing more social media screencap threads dos

>day 2 of snoys trying to convince people Nintendo is doomed because Mario Kart involves racing
Not a cult btw.

NINTENDO IS DOOMED BECAUSE MARIO KART INVOLVES RACING!!!!

NINTENDO IS DOOMED BECAUSE MARIO KART INVOLVES RACING STRAIGHT TRACKS WHERE TENDIES SUCK DICK FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING BETTER FOR THEM TO ENGAGE WITH!!!!

I can't believe we have to deal with Nintendo's open world era for the entire rest of the gen until they course correct. BOTW and its consequences have been a disaster for Nintendo.

>>713790440
are you fucking retarded? it couldn't be any more intrusive.
when you select a track. you don't even get to play that track.

They won't course correct until they eat shit. If people keep buying it regardless, they'll keep shitting it out.

Okay. And I'm sure the other two that're up are for the same reason because the baseless claim can't be wrong. Anything to cope with how much Nintendo utterly despises their consumers.

It's a great game, but it could've been better. That's what Anon meant.

>>713785546
Nope
Forza horizon gamea are pretty good
Nintendo just need to steal the gamemodes and custom routes

Imagine waiting 11 years for a sequel that dies in 3 weeks, and cosst $80 to boot.

>>713785464 (OP)
None of these faggots are going back to 8. Especially the ones who rely on MK content to make money. People and the algorithm want to see the latest and newest game. They're just gonna suck it up and continue playing for views.

>>713796762
What the fuck is this track "design"?
It's a straight line.

>>713797636
It's like 5 seconds of road relax every mariokart game has it, if you look at the top of the map thats the main track which loops, this is an intersection

>>713797617

This game looks so gross graphically lol

>>713786975
They just provide a different experience.
Some of the old NFS games were open world too.
Sometimes I want to pretend I’m a race car driver and so traditional games work well.
Sometimes I want to mod a car and drive recklessly on the streets. That’s where open world works.

>>713792947
You literally can race on the normal tracks in Vs mode and they show up online as well. Pick the 3 lapper online instead of bitching

>>713800058
What's so bad about it

>>713789183
okay yeah im not buying this

>>713789183
I still don’t get what’s wrong with this webm. The water splash effects are a little non-commital, he’s making a dumb face, the banana collecting animation is a little goofy and the “Placed in a Pipe” objective tells us it’s gonna have at least some padding bananas like the moons in Odyssey which we all knew this game was gonna be similar too.

It doesn’t look worth buying a Switch 2 over but nothing in this particular webm looks like the kind of overwhelmingly bad which warrants lines of anons reacting with guffawing reaction images like I’ve seen

>>713799997
>what a disappointment after waiting 11 years for this shit
How did you know about the Switch 2 11 years ago? Genuine question because that's some foresight considering switch only came out in 2017, teach me

>>713785546
Forza does a good job of it. Even Diddy Kong Racing's take on it was pretty good. It can work depending on implementation and the type of game. I haven't played Burnout Paradise so I can't comment on that, but open world/open field/whatever you want to call it can work. It just may not work well for a game like Mario Kart.

>>713800435
2 main things that stick out to me is the fur when it gets wet and the animation. His fur is very shiny and looks like plastic, even after he enters the drainage pipe. His animations don't smoothly transition into one another. He just goes from walking to standing which looks cheap.

Getting a connecting course that ends with Koopa beach is a slap in the face.

>>713800910
Whats bagging ?

>>713812104
sandbagging; intentionally hanging in the back to get powerful items and winning with them at the last moment

>>713812104
When you intentionally stay behind to try and get strong items.

>>713812104
Staying last place on purpose for like two thirds of the race hoarding powerful items and then using them in the final lap to catapult to first place fast.
The wide roads and the open world around it make it pretty easy to use shortcuts with mushrooms.
So all you need to do is stay last place for the majority of the race until you pull a golden shroom and then use it on the final stretch of the intermission segment to get first place instantly. It’s ridiculously easy.

>>713813889
contrarians be like
>WHOA THIS IS PEAK GAMEPLAY, COMPFAGS BTFO

>>713800174
Thats the problem and the reason these threads are in: NINTENDO DOESNT LET YOU DO THAT ANYMORE! you can only play with track intermissions and random is not allowed.

I dont play the game and even i understood that.

jee, I dunno

>>713785464 (OP)
Yeah
Like, it's not THE WORST game ever made or anything, but, once the novelty of new game fades, it's pretty much just worse than MK8.
Fewer courses even without the booster pack, with less complexity. 24 players was a fun gimmick, but is a shitshow in practice, the item balance is completely fucked, the grinding and wallriding is completely wasted potential that doesn't shake anything up enough.
Even before intermission tracks became the new world order, it wasn't a great comparison. Now that you can't even play the courses anymore, it's a joke.

>>713789183
God, this looks rancid

sonic roboblast 2 kart is the best mario kart around, its free and you can be a million anime girls so like why would you ever play this shitty version

You will play how Nintendo intended chud.

>>713817645
Maybe
I recall they made a sequel to roboblast that sucked dick to play kinda recently. Had a weird boost system, and fucked up physics.
It's been a minute since I've kicked it, I forget what it was.
Ring racers actually sounds familiar, maybe I'm thinking about that.

>>713785464 (OP)
Totally unrelated but it is shocking to me that every year people find new ways to find YouTube thumbnails even lazier.

At the very least you have some buddies to drink cheap beer with and enjoy some grilled burgers with.
With Mario Kart? I can't say the same.

>>713819937
I hope it is. I'd actually enjoy that. Also, what do you typically put on in the background when you play?

>>713813889
>literally only getting mushrooms
mushroom curse also affects this game i guess

>>713821609
Some players noticed that you are basically guaranteed to get triple mushroom from the first set of item boxes if you are in the back half of the pack.
