Transmissions are 100% a complete waste of your time

Basically you don't even have to try on the intermission roads, you can just stay behind the pack and then use power items as soon as the real track starts

And even most new normal tracks aren't exactly exciting to play

>is this even fun?
no

Nintendo still got your money so.....

Whoever already bought a Switch 2 failed an IQ test.

>>713864802
This, its only game is...Mario Kart which is still going to have an active online scene on the Switch 1 for the forseeable future because its a "religion franchise" like Monster Hunter, COD, FIFA etc

Keep it up, my sisters, Nintendo will fall and die under our combined might, never give up never surrender.

>>713864486 (OP)
being in the middle of the pack = you automatically lose.
Some nigga behind you will lightning everyone on the last lap = you lose your item
Then the people behind you with a golden mushroom AND three mushrooms will rocket past you while you have literally nothing
and the people in the front of the pack are more than 1 blue shell hit away.

>>713865621
and I forgot to mention if you get the final item of a race, its going to be some bullshit like coin box or boomerang.

There is no playing for fun if the game is punishing your fun. It's the Try Not To Cum dilemma; no wonder Miyamoto's name isn't in the credits.

>>713865293
You should AT LEAST wait for the Oled upgrade. The current screen is ugly garbage with gutter response time and there is no point in rewarding Nintendo for the mid lineup right now instead of waiting for Zelda, Smash Bros. or whatever Monolith is cooking. Metroid Prime 4 is on Switch 1/emulator

Playstation fanboys love Mario Kart 8? Find a therapist.

This game is overrated as fuck

>>713866885
True, Super and SC are mostly worth it for the retro vibes and challenge and Super completely mogs SC on both counts. DS is also overrated and 8 deserves way more hate

>>713866791
Nintendo wants you to buy two Shitch 2s. I used to deny it or maybe it wasn't the case back then but they have become one of the most comically greedy, scummy money grubber corporations ever.

>>713864486 (OP)
One thing I like about World is that is has a few new tracks that are very vertical. 8 took all verticality you of the game with magnetic wheels for some retarded reason. Can't hate on Peach Stadium(the trach itself not the highway to it)

stop wasting literal days of practicing cheating shortcuts in time trials like a sweaty tryhard for your retarded elo and PLAY THE FUCKING GAME

Dumb nigger it's even fucking worse now because little Timmy is going to try to frontrun, get shit on by the pack, and then get passed by someone who started in 18 with 2 mushrooms and then never come back. Laps means you can trap the shortcut entrances and force them to spend protection to access them or to drive on the normal route

>>713868175
i never did that in my life and i still hate being forced to drive linear roads before i can play the game like mario kart. you seem to think there is nothing between window licking retards and autistic pro gamers. the truth is all the people in between - normal people - prefer to just play 3 lap tracks which is why they all pick random online

also see >>713868250

Unironically just play the older games if you want your fix. World is completely redundant, all the new tracks suck with two exceptions and the retro tracks are the laziest and most samey yet.

>>713867291
Go look at how many changes they made to the script in TTYD remake. Anything that could possibly be considered misogynistic or ablelist (calling a female character an airhead, saying some is stupid) is censored

the fact that the entire community collectively chooses random so they don't have to play straight line simulators is fucking insane. What the fuck is the design of this game

>>713864486 (OP)
So tendies have been driving in a straight line since the Switch 2 launch?

/v/ finally realizes Mario Kart isn’t a hardcore series

There's really no way to just play tracks? Not a single mode besides individually picking tracks in single player mode I guess?

I always see the same Nintendo fanboys with the exact same pre-schooler behavior and diction in these threads defending this trainwreck instead of playing it. This is what lets me know the game sucks.

Most of the tracks are good. It's the intermission races are straight up trash design.

Wasn't bagging heavily nerfed like, RIGHT at the end of MK8DX when they finished releasing all the DLC tracks? Fuck happened?

>>713868368
lmao

>>713870021
No, it wasn't, they just stopped players rerolling for different items at a set. Nintendo are either too retarded or they just accept bagging because they reintroduced double item boxes again. Get rid of the double items and bagging is neutered hard.

>spends all day playing mario kart
not sure if jelly

>>713869367
It’s not about being hardcore vs casual lol.
Mario Kart just isn’t built for a fun open world.
An open world with vast stretches of highways works in a game like forza because you’re actually going fast in your lambo or whatever.
In Kart you’re going like 30mph max, lol.

If they doubled or tripled the cc for intermissions and made regular course laps 3/3 again, people would be calling it the greatest MK ever.
Just make the speed boost it some goofy power up you dump at the end of the intermission section.
It’s literally that easy, but i guess thinking is too hard for nu-tendo devs.

>>713873032
This is what makes Mario Kart World so great. You can be in 20th place and still win.

Minmaxing faggots hate the update because the can't dominate and ruin the game for everyone. Playing MK8 was boing because Minmaxing all picked the same character/kart combo and you would never get anywhere near the Top 5 ever.

I'm glad Nintendo has told these shitters to get fucked and the game gets to stay fun and competitive for everyone.

Probably one of the most based things Nintendo has done.

>>713872875
this would be insulting course design in any mario game, there's not even a turn here that seriously requires any effort. it's just an excuse for a mad dash item melee.

You realize the minmaxing faggots are the ones intentionally dropping to 20th so they can dominate at the very end, right? It's the inverse of frontrunning but it's still not fun or competitive.

>>713873374

You're full of shit. Mario Kart World is by far the most and balanced of Mario Kart games. Even an old fart casual like me can sometime win. I played last night, after getting bombed out in top 20 in two knockout tours I came 1st on third attempt, by getting out in front and staying front, with my wife and kids hollering and cheering and hugging each other the whole time as I tore into the final stretch.

Feels good. Blessed Nintendo.

Based Daddy hero.

>>713873667
I suddenly understand the problem with Mario Kart World. All the good players had their rank go up super quick and are now almost always only paired with other good players. This means the casuals will stay low in the rankings and thus be paired with other casuals. Since the casuals aren't dealing with good players, they can actually have fun. The good players, conversely, are sweating their asses off. That's why casuals love World and the good players hate it now. It's another example of skill based matchmaking.

I’ll make my own kart racer with blackjack and hookers

>>713873859
There is no problem with Mario Kart World.

>>713868252
Fair point.
The game was fun online the first week. Took a break and it now already had a meta where every race plays out the same.
I'm playing "good" and are second and first for 9 minutes and then the last minute everybody throws everything at me.
The strats now are not to play the game, but too break it.

>>713873859
We actually saw this back when everyone was doing the single player and noticed how the game reacts to good driving. It'll treat a casual player relatively fairly and literally cheat to knock a good player out of first at the worst times. World is designed from the ground up to give casuals a good time and give good players hell. The reason we keep hearing how World is "ruined" is because we only hear from those good players since they're the ones making their voices heard. But in reality, the casual players who aren't going out of their way to post about it online are having the time of their lives, especially now that the good players are out of the picture.

Remember that period when the game was new and everyone loved it? Thanks to all the new tracks and tricks, everyone was on a relatively equal playing ground. As soon as players got used to it and graduated to the rank of "good player," it was all downhill for them.

>>713865897
>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU SHOULD INTENTIONALLY PUT YOURSELF AT A DISADVANTAGE AND NOT TRY TO WIN

>>713872748
Since you've never touched a vagina, let me explain
Nintendo games are family games, always have been. Sometimes there is shit thats not for me but is amazing for children. Nintendo games are good because a lot of their games are just really fucking solid too play and most have an optional end game thats legit fucking hard.
So while I legit enjoyed Worlds exploration, I can also see that my son will love it a whole fucking lot more.
So I as an adult can enjoy some of the harder missions, my kid enjoys just driving around.
Short fun for me, looooong time fun for him.

So yeah, its good.

>>713869380
You can play in a private lobby and vote for whichever track you want, including any of the normal 3-lap races.

Only friendless comp losers like the guy in the OP who want to tryhard in public lobbies against 8 year olds are affected by this.

This is how I feel about the situation. Like no one is forcing people to bag. If anything, it feels way more dope to actually successfully front run in this game because of how much harder it is.

>>713874797
Yes mate, it's Mario Kart, that's what all Mario Karts are like. Seething shitters have no arguments.

It all boils down to Mario Kart World being the flagship exclusive for Nintendo's new console, both of which are already massive successes and the game is sitting with an 8.6/10 on metacritic.

They're seething beyond belief and desperately want to shit on it any way they can. It's hilarious.

>>713874840
Im am so happy your wife and her bull where proud of you timmy

>>713874797
The reason it works on intermissions is because there's literally nothing happening on those tracks so no one can break ahead. The only way to get ahead is via boosting over the huge tracts of offroad, which you do with mushrooms you get in lower places. This results in everyone being super bunched up for way longer, making a breakaway at the end super potent since you'll be passing everyone instead of just a few people. The most consistent way to win is to grab a few mushrooms in a lower place, hold onto them in a lower position since you won't lose them, then boost your way to the front right near the end where the other players won't have the items to stop you.

I watched this video and I have to ask: Why the fuck would you spend 500 buckaroos or more for this experience when you can just play Mario Kart 8? What is so much better in this?

>>713875060
It has been 11 years since MK8 came out. Half the DLC tracks sucked. This is the new one because if you give a shit about the series, you're bored of 8 by now.

>>713874797
there always are at least a couple tracks that favor bagging in every mario kart, but the intermissions are a set of 200 tracks that are all pretty much perfectly built for it
naturally, people don't wanna play that way and try to pick the 3 lap tracks, but nintendo is doing everything in its power to shove the intermissions down people's throats whether they like them or not

>>713875209
You aren't playing normal mario kart faggot.

>I saw a tendie writing about how everyone was wrong about free roam because that's all "his" 5 year old kid would play, therefore it was actually good.
>That comment section was filled with tendies praising him, they are completely mind broken lmao.

You retard, the reason Nintendo games can sell like 10million+ is because they add reasons for people of different skill, ages and taste to play their games. There might be elements some people hate that other people love.

If there's some kid who wants to drive around in free roam then having it in the game is better than not because that experience could lead to that kid wanting to play more Nintendo gams. I think the reason people online tend to be out of touch is because they think that 100% of the game should be geared for only them and they throw a bitch fit the moment a feature they don't like is added or the game doesn't work 100% how they'd prefer. Ignorant of the case there could be a million people who do like it for every hundred that don't.

Its why Nintendo can do so well, have such a strong legacy but very rarely win GOTY. Because their games are meant to be enjoyed by many, not made to appeal to the few who can give them an award for meeting all their preferences.

>>713874797
Only if the track allows it. Plenty of tracks are completely front run favored and bagging is practically impossible to get a top 3 spot because of how the short cuts are. In 8 only cheese land and dry dry deserts had such a gigantic bagging bias and for the same reason the intermission tracks do, gigantic stretches of off road that frontrunners cant even glance at but speed items can ignore. Other tracks had no such cuts or they were still accessible to first so they could keep a lead making bagging harder, needing more forethought around shit like lightning that you cant always control.
World wants to pretend the rail grinding and shit makes up for it but its barely faster if at all in intermission because theyre highways first and race tracks second

>>713875189
>my wife rewarded me with sex, for Nintendo's handicap game design letting me win at mario kart
uh huh

why are they called intermissions instead of highways or something? intermissions is when you’re waiting for a lobby. No wonder I was confused.

>>713875209
He wants to play normal races not because they're normal but because he wants to sweat. Do you even listen to what the guy is saying? His whole argument is that he's a sweatlord who is physically incapable of not bagging even though it's less fun because he thinks it hurts his chances to win. If he actually just tried instead of being a sweatyfag he'd probably enjoy it

>>713875315
You need seethe harder, my cup is almost empty.

>>713875292
>World wants to pretend the rail grinding and shit makes up for it
If you can get on the rail without losing speed (no charge jump), and trick twice, the rail is worthwhile. Plus they're usually ideal lines.

>>713875328
>why are they called intermissions instead of highways or something? intermissions is when you’re waiting for a lobby. No wonder I was confused.

Nintendo don't call them intermissions.

>>713875329

oh yeah it's so fun to get bounced around by red shells and lightning bolts while people corner cut with triple shrooms and gain 10 places because the track design is dogshit in this game

Nobody here is gonna updoot you man, I'll be sure to check the 4chan subreddits tomorrow and look for your screencaps just to take a shit on you there too.

>>713875328
They aren't called intermissions. Intermissions are when you're waiting in a lobby. People misinterpreted what a "intermission" setting was during previews, thinking that must be how you turn off the sections of track between courses. This was before we know how track selection actually worked. However, since there's no real official name for them and people know what you mean when you say that anyway, the notation stuck.

>listening to """youtubers"""
Think for yourselves you faggots. Never listen to youtubers. They ruined tf2 and they'll ruin your game too.

>>713875415
I meant the youtubers and general community. I figured they wouldn’t be officially called intermissions. some rando out there probably called it that and then everyone latched on to it.

Yeah but I'm trying to find more than "grinding on rails" here. If something I'm finding more criticisms against these newer tracks than "oh they're so much more amazing than the old ones". I see more and more videos and trying to guess what the fuck about it is so different, so much more amazing than that 10 year old game I used to play on the Wii U when I grabbed the bundle. At this point aren't there like 75 different mario kart clones out there with more crazy shit? Or is playing as a cow just that compelling?

>>713875402
Except that the highways are huge and all rail grinds are on the outside, short, and on straighaways or the wrong side of gentle curves. Going to the outside to hit them will ultimately result in a shittier line later that makes them not worth it, especially when considering the possibility of getting bumped into the offroad while doing it. Regardless, its nowhere near enough to make a gap that a golden mushroom over an offroad couldnt close

>CHILDREN'S GAME
why are you so butthurt? this has never been a valid defense for something being badly designed or bad in general. (even if 100% of the players were children, children don't deserve to be served dogshit)
this game is currently the only reason to own a switch 2 and so the fact that it is not even as good as MK8 and Nintendo is making it even worse is worth discussing.

>>713877486
See >>713876550

It's hilarious watching you schizos flip-flop and shit yourselves. How are you going to cope when Donkey Kong releases in 18 days?

>>713877551
MK8 is so boring and restrictive compared to MKW.

It boils down to you utterly seething about the Switch 2 launch. That's all it ever is. We all knee the cope would be bad but holy fuck the juggernaut success of Switch 2 has really raped this board sideways XDD

I was honestly taken aback by this. I was never into “competitive” Mario Kart and only learned about it recently due to the YouTube algorithm but man this felt unnatural to look at

>>713878627
I the said he isn’t having fun because he is being forced to bag which is weird because he also bags in 8

>>713875290
>Its why Nintendo can do so well, have such a strong legacy but very rarely win GOTY. Because their games are meant to be enjoyed by many, not made to appeal to the few who can give them an award for meeting all their preferences.

Mario Kart World surprises me in this regard considering how absolutely safe and crowd pleasing their later half of the Switch catalog was. This feels very much like the type of "fuck the audience expectations" attitude they had during the Wii-U/3DS era. Considering World had a 8 year dev time that had its design cemented after MK8D wrapped that may be why this one feels like it's from that period since it was at the tail end of it.

It depends how you hit them. Head on collision hurts you like normal, but if you strike them from the side you should be fine. Same if you hit a player turned into a Bullet Bill from the side rather than being hit from behind.

That's because we're back in that part of the nintendo cycle. They're going to act almost in spite of their audience on top of a weak console release then start to panic as people stop buying into their shit to stop fucking around for the next system

>Basically you don't even have to try on the intermission roads, you can just stay behind the pack and then use power items as soon as the real track starts

>>713878943
He sometimes bags in 8 and sometimes frontruns. He bags a bit more in 8 but bagging on shit like cheeseland is more entertaining than bagging on a straight fucking line because cheeseland bagging still has tech to it.

>>713880080
What are you talking about? MKW and DK are completely unrelated. It's people who own the system and play MKW who hate Nintendo's design choices with the game.

Interesting perspective, albeit a deeply flawed one that reveals your status as a lesser form of human. I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I told you I have a Switch 2 and plan to buy DK, and still hate the design choices Nintendo made with Mario Kart World?

Serious question, what is up with Nintendo fans in particular thinking everyone is "Eric," whoever that is? All the consolewar faggots and brand warriors have something they spam, like snoys saying everyone outside their ecosystem are manchildren, but no one else is insisting EVERY SINGLE POST is by one person who just hates the brand.

Just take your argument and reuse that for why they should add more regular tracks to the voting or a separate mode. The point of Nintendo games is to be able to appeal to everyone, so it only makes sense to have a system to let people play the content they want. There is no reason to heavily restrict a part of the game to appeal to one specific group and force everyone to play the same way. Those are the same people that bought truck loads of MK8 and do not need to be insulated from regular tracks. You are out of touch if you can't comprehend why people would want a game with wider appeal rather than focusing 100% on your preferences.

That it's boring and braindead and that you don't need to try hard or be skilled to get a good finishing spot?
He spends 3/4 of the race just driving straight, with some occasional drifts, half of the race with the same items he got early in the race and could zip back up 13 places in the last "lap" of the race.

>>713881651

You still don't get it? Or maybe you don't want to get it.

We've had arguments like this day 1 and somehow there was so much pushback against the idea that straight roads are fucking boring in a game where the only skill expression is by how you drift tight corners. And not only are straight roads boring to drive on, they also make items way more powerful as they become the only means of gapping someone... which is why among true tryhards, bagging has become a viable playstyle again. This is the first bad Mario Kart game.

Nintendo can get their shit together and bring their games to PC or they can die. Modern Nintendo is a soulless shell of what they once were, literally only carried by the brand and retards too stupid to realize this isn't the Nintendo anyone grew up with or cared about anymore.

I was expecting much more dynamic stuff going on for a "nextgen" console.
Like tracks getting modified in real time, etc.

>>713882718
Other people were already doing that so they've had time to fish for the exact items they wanted, unlike someone who spent most of the race in the middle and decides to try bagging better items in the last lap.

>>713875526
People saw the option “intermission” in previews and hoped that was the option to turn the course to course races on or off, but what that actually is lobby free roam time between races while people decide the next course.
Still, since everyone was clinging to hopium so hard that the track to track trek was called an intermission and could be disabled, that’s the name that stuck.

>this shit will be e-waste in 10 years
Don't worry, it will melt itself before then.

>>713881964
Holding second place close enough to overtake first in case of blue shell is still dynamic and dangerous. First place is actively aware of what you're trying to do and will fight you on it. Holding 18 to get a golden+triple shroom is not only more boring in a vacuum but its even more boring because you're doing it and literally nothing else for 4 minutes until the last big cut.

>>713882346
No, its not
Bagging has never been this ubiquitously strong in mario kart's whole history. Even MK8 which was very favorable towards bagging it was still only a few maps and you had to have actual map knowledge of bullet extensions

shorten the highway driving and add laps of actual tracks, preferably mixed in along the way but you can just do 3 laps at the end
completely revamp the highways to not just be highways but have walls and rails and ramps everywhere its fucking mario world why does it have to look like someone's actual morning commute but with bomb-ombs
more boost panels and 200cc exclusively for highways, at least get an actual feeling of speed if nothing else
real hazards beyond cars. shit like the dinosaurs walking around is cool as fuck and in a world of mario not every single street should feel like moonview highway, there should be lava pillars and ghosts and all sorts of shit

Why aren't the tryharding mixmaxxers playing a game where there is a higher skill celling instead of Mario Kart? are you aware that is supposed to be balanced for ALL THE FAMILY? and that means 5 years old too have the right to win tracks against faggots 40 years old

>>713865897
>literally admits to sandbagging and playing "optimally" instead of for fun
If you try to frontrun you are going to get fucked by everyone early game. No fun and bad strat
If you stay in the pack you will also get fucked in the end AND at the start. Somewhat fun but bad strat
Staying behind and then making a comeback is the best solution but it's also not fun.
Tl;dr the intermissions suck massive ass no matter what playstyle you like.

>>713881651
Because he was "bagging"
If the race initially doesn't allow you to play for first place, then the next best thing is to hoard good items into higher placements in hopes of rng'ing your way to it/a solid placement. It's lame but it works because Mario Kart has an extremely forgiving comeback system in the form of items, the double item blocks probably enable this harder
3rd place is good if you're not playing against cpus

>>713865897
There's no playing for fun when none of your racing matters when it's ultimately always decided by whoever gets a big shroom and 3 mushrooms near the finish line or cut off line.

>>713883839
What makes Mario kart fun is also drifting and the ability to take shortcuts. Spending a long time driving straight just isn't a fun thing that Mario Kart usually avoided doing since the inception of the series

Your lobby is 75% full. Considering how Nintendo wouldn't STFU about muh 24 player races that's a massive red flag.

>>713888706
This. Lobbies should be reaching 24 players easily considering its a new console and this is theonly major exclusive to play on it

>>713883839
Just a more even distribution or letting you race the full course afterwards would go along way. I would not care at all if it was just a race to the track and then a race through the track. The biggest problem with intermissions right now is just that they are 90% of the game. You have a mode that is all intermission and then another mode that is 2/3 intermission. The good part of the intermission is the change of pace and the really nice visual transition between areas that make you appreciate the world and the tracks. However, without the contrast with the regular courses, that intended change of pace just becomes the pace of the game and loses its point. If they were willing to put in extra effort on checkpoint, there are also interesting areas around the courses that aren't just gently winding highways they could route you through.

>>713888565
>I pray for the day when devs are done chasing open world game design
It may never happen without government regulation. The entire premises of game design have been inverted to optimize profit and appeal to the lowest common denominator. Old school arcade games were designed to give you as much gameplay in as short amount a time as possible to kick you off. Modern games are designed to have filler experience and they challenge themselves to keep you engaged for as long as possible with as little gameplay as possible.

It's possible that in 5 years with the widespread use of quantum cloud computing you could see a return to the arcade game design model. If there are in-person quantum arcade cabinets you could also see a reason for arcades to return. The games made on quantum computers will be fundamentally different and it will be the next paradigm shift in gaming.

I did nearly 0 research on World before buying it. I just thought buying a Mario Kart would be a no brainer. None of the levels look or feel distinct. I don’t get the transition shit. It’s all long straights in levels that all look the same. Unlocking characters is a pain in the ass, too. I really don’t get what they were going for. I beat all the cups, but I feel empty. It was so bland. I don’t get it. Help me out, bros. Why are the tracks so shitty looking and boring to play on? What am I fundamentally misunderstanding?

It's that soulless washed out color art style and lack of distinct landmarks

Got drunk last night and played about 25 races online to see what all the update rage was about.
Out of 25 races I got to play a proper 3 lap race 4 times.
Jesus fucking CHRIST this sucks my asshole. Nintendo saw that people found a way to avoid the uninspired, boring as fuck straight lines and then removed the only way to have fun in this game. What a bunch of absolute cunts.
It is completely insane that there is literally NO WAY to play regular, non-openworld races in this game.
>just join a custom lobby lol
Go fuck yourself. I just spent $500 to play the new Mario Kart and Nintendo won't let me play it. This is so fucked.

I think most of us agree World is a flop. DK Bananza looks gay. At least we have Air Ride 2, bros.

normally something like this happens to me in games if im about to be burned out on the gameplay of said game or doing it out of obligation. i would try playing something outside of the racing genre for a bit

>>713892556
NTA but I still don't get why that's seen as a gotcha. Yes people are going to stick 8 deluxe. They're either pissed because they paid all that money for world for nothing, or they never left 8 deluxe to begin with.

It's hilarious how utterly mindbroken competitivefags have been left by Nintendo.

I love this narrative that anyone who doesn't want to drive in a straight line for three "laps" and then race one lap on an actual track is some ultra competitive tryhard no-lifer only playing to make a number go up.
I don't give a fuck about "the community" and i've never joined some competitive lobby or group or anything like that. I just want to play Mario Kart, but I'm not allowed to because Nintendo will never admit that their design is bad.

why would someone pay $80 + tip for 16 new tracks when MK8DX has 96

>>713883839
Either make Lap 1 a track, then intermission, then the final track. OR make the course you race on at least 2 laps rather than 1.

>>713893338
Maybe because they've played Mario Kart 8 for the last decade and want something new.
You complete fucking spastic

Why are you retards complaining when intermissions were known about for months. If you want to play competitively then do time trials or club races

>>713868368

What does playing competitively have to do with anything?

>>713864486 (OP)
I don't own a Switch 2 or this crap game. But why don't players just AFK during intermission tracks and just treat it like a loading screen?

>>713893678
Most of the people complaining about the intermissions are playing competitively. It's pretty obvious Nintendo wanted to make the game more casual like they did with SSBB after SSBM gained a competitive scene. Mario Kart isn't supposed to be ultra-competitive it's a party game.

>>713893810
Intermission is a misleading name since it implies it is a break between races. However, intermissions just lead to more intermissions. They made it very unlikely you will be able to play a standard course outside of making your own lobby or time trials.

>>713893941
>Most of the people complaining about the intermissions are playing competitively.
Do you have anything to base that on or are you just making this up? Are you also actually suggesting Mario Kart was a competitive game before now? Are you not aware of how popular MK8 was?

Good thing Takashi Iizuka said they used the Playstation beta to remove broken items so Crossworlds wouldn't fall in the same pitfall MKW is in right now so Sandbagging isn't going to be a problem.

>Good thing Takashi Iizuka said they used the Playstation beta to remove broken items so Crossworlds wouldn't fall in the same pitfall MKW is in right now so Sandbagging isn't going to be a problem.

Instead there's no blue shell equivalent so whoever gets into 1st place early on in Crossworlds gets to do a time trial while everyone else crab buckets.

>>713893810
Stop playing the game to make it more enjoyable? That's really good design.

>>713894312
Blue shell is hardly a broken item even in MKW, from what I've experienced the Golden mushroom and the Giant mushroom are far more unbalanced items, and there is a Blue shell equivalent btw they didn't remove that.

The YouTubers who play Mario Kart competitively or semi-competitively are the most vocally against the intermissions. I'm not defending the intermissions but Nintendo obviously wanted to go in a more casual direction with intermissions + 24 players. And we knew about intermissions for MONTHS.

>thanks nintendo!

>>713894724
>we knew about intermissions for MONTHS
We didn't know that open-world non-tracks would be the only way to play the game. No one expected there be be literally no way to play Mario Kart in the new Mario Kart game.

What makes the intermissions more casual? Just having less attention put into them doesn't make them more casual compared to the regular courses that don't present any significant technical barrier. Maybe you are watching too many YouTubers and mistakenly think lobbies are filled with people doing the world record time trial routes, but I can assure you the game is still just as casual as it has always been.

>>713895315
Are you one of those retards who think that someone doing one shortcut in Mario Kart means they've spent 30 hours in time trials perfecting it?
You can try most of the shortcuts like five times and have them down. You're a complete idiot if you think taking a shortcut in a fucking kart game means you're a competitive player

>>713894136
Sonic Crossworld seems fun but I'll wait a month for it to be $20 bucks before I get it.

>>713895315
I guess that just proves the game is still casual enough if I can beat them using an off-meta kart despite usually being a good 10-15 seconds behind the time trial record.

Not a competitive guy at all but what's cheating about motion glider?

A big problem with the roads is that most of them can't use the game's mechanics.

Charge jumping is slower than driving straight and there's no situation you'd charge orange or ultra.
can't use the wall riding anywhere most of the time
rails aren't overly common or are just slower than driving straight

>>713875143
The intermission tracks ARE THE SWEATLORD tracks, you fucking retard.
They are the easiest tracks to bag on and only tryhards will pick it since gets them easy top placements.

>>713896307
No. Bagging was greatly exaggerated as a problem with 8 Deluxe. It was only considered the most effective strategy on a minority of tracks.

I don't think so, the proof being that SO MANY people started picking random to dodge intermissions/highways, Nintendo HAD TO "fix" it by almost removing normal tracks from random select.
If it was only a small, vocal minority that were against it, then by logic most people would be picking intermissions/highways in their selects and Nintendo wouldn't have to change how random works.

>>713898002
Why does Nintendo care how people play the game if they already got our money?

>>713897537
It is basically exploiting a unintentional side effect of the way gliding is coded. It also gives Gamecube controller users quite a bit of an unfair advantage.

Whether that counts as cheating is semantics but it would be better if it wasn't in the game.

>>713882718
Nothing. In MK8 there were people literally waiting or reversing at the start because some maps had OP shortcuts that could be taken only with power items.

>>713898052

Brothership isn't open world, it's incredibly linear. Good, but linear.
>fucking top-down zelda is now open world (again, after they already acknowledged it was shit design in the 80s)
Nintendo never said it was bad design. There were 2 Zelda games in the 80s, one was entirely open world and the other was a quasi-open-world platformer.
>metroid is now open world
Every Metroid is open except for Fusion (the worst one Other M and Fettucine Force don't exist). You can do every boss in Super in any order you want except for having to kill Mother Brain last for obvious reasons.

Mario Kart is the only one it doesn't work for and that's only because highways are genuinely boring. Other games have tried the open world racing shit before and they all sucked too. World still had really good track designs but you never get to play them anymore.

LoZ is only a smidge bit less open than BotW/TotK. ALttP is more restrictive, but it still offers a great amount of freedom.

Linearity is always worse than openness. That's why Mega Man owns 5 of the top 10 best NES game slots. Mega Man lets you play the first 90% of the game in any order you want.

>>713899539

Not at all, due to the dungeon items I mentioned previously. BOTW and its DLCs have 0 progression. Everything in the game only serves to make the final boss easier. They're sandboxes above anything else.

Just wait, in 3-6 months Nintendo will add "Classic Tour" mode

I'm trans and love watching Shortkot, thanks for spreading him around op!

>>713864486 (OP)
All Mario Kart ever was, was just holding A and drifting around curves. It's not that fun.

>>713899719
BotW and TotK force you to go through the hour long tutorial section before cutting you loose, and there are very clear elements of progression, like the dungeons, shrines, and quests. Sure, you can go for the final boss right away and beat it if you're good, but that's just good game design. You can always just not go immediately for Ganon/dorf.

you pedophiles really can't wrap your head around the fact the console and company have never been for adults. kids probably hated trying to play MK8 and having to compete against 35+ year olds doing every exploit in the game on top of receiving constant messages from groomers. notice none of the actual demographic are complaining and it's literally all old men and old men who larp as women that are bitching about the game.

>>713899979
Everything between the tutorial and final boss is "make your own fun" bullshit.

>>713900576
> kids probably hated trying to play MK8 and having to compete against 35+ year olds doing every exploit in the game
...which is still going to be the case in world, the kids will just lose over and over because they don't know what bagging is.

And that's assuming the kids and the tryhards even end up in a race together. VR is a thing for a reason and most kids don't play online anyway.

>>713900576
Why do you think this makes the game less competitive? The kids who somehow get misplaced by match making into the high rank rooms are still going to have the players who know how to make best use of the items zoom past them while they get demolished by items mid pack.

>>713888565

So if people are genuinely pissed and want to see videos about it, what's the issue? You're a fucking idiot.

MarioKart has always been nothing but single banana or green shell for me, because I win.

>>713903923
He literally covered that in the video. He said he was having fun, but only 25% of the fun he would usually have

>>713903967
This guy tries his hardest to be positive about everything, he is legit annoyed about this change though.

>>713904060
Because you give fucking morons like DreamcastGuy more ad revenue continue to pump out slop videos

>>713904217
Who cares if they get ad revenue from it? Shut the fuck up, retard.

>>713904048
Never watched Yong in my life
You don't even know what you're upset about. Because you're a dullard

>>713904278
I care because then hyperbolic morons like you post obvious bullshit like every Switch game needing to be online to play or a voltage spike causing a Switch 2 to be bricked.

>>713904339
He's just deflecting because he's a drone who wants to desperately defend Nintendo and he knows he can't actually attack the argument (since the opposition is objectively correct) so he's strawmanning it.

>>713904450
>If you have an opinion you're a drone
You sound like the real moron here

>>713904415
Without proper online, that make MKW worse than
>MKDS
>MKWii
>MK7
>MK8

At best it'd tie with Double Dash and at worst it's only better than SNES, 64, and Super Circuit. The only way to actually play the game, which, mind you, is $80 fucking dollars, is if you have friends who want to play locally so you can skip the intermissions.

>>713904531
If your opinion is that something that is bad isn't bad, sure. If everyone else says something smells awful and you say it's fine, you're wrong.

>>713904179
I don't give a fuck about what a sandbagging compfag thinks about "fun". If he doesn't race for first for the whole match then he can just fuck off. Of course he doesn't know the feeling of holding first place for the entire race, desperately defending yourself with items, and then winning. All he knows is hiding in last place then using his gold mushroom because he's too much of a pussy to fight for first place like a real man.

>>713904676
It's literally the same situation. I think they should add the option for a regular three lap race around a track and respect that people are unhappy with the change but the amount of people screeching about how Mario Kart World is now ruined is fucking stupid. They won't even give a shit after a week or two

>>713902282
>he proclaimed right before going back to play his pixelshit lego game

>>713904916
I've played the game for 60 hours, most of that online. I've been playing almost every day.
I don't even want to play it any more. I will still care in a week or two. The game is fucked.

>>713904916
Except the intermissions are so bad they literally ruined the game. NO ONE likes them. That's why 90%+ of players were choosing random online.

Instead of removing the intermissions like everyone wanted, Nintendo made it way, way worse.

>>713903637
>If the new patch literally ruined the game for you you never thought it was good to begin with
Well yea. Intermissions suck ass and the open world was a waste of dev time. At the very least though you could skirt around these retarded decisions with random so the game can at least resemble a normal mario kart, but they got rid of that too
So yes, the game wasn’t good but at least you could get around the bad parts, but now nintendo is forcing the bad parts because it’s what they intended
