So... is the online just permanently fucked? They're just going to completely ignore the feedback from literally everyone and keep 90% of the races as intermissions?

Been having fun so far

They got your $450 and your $80 already

You bought it and will keep playing so shut up

>muh $80
Hello Pablo

>>715345656
with $80 comes great expectations and mario kart is not that my friend

>>715345476
>>715345656
>>715345763
Stop spreading misinformation, the console+MKW bundle is only $500

>>715345137 (OP)
I wouldn't count on it. Nintendo is stubborn and also has never been good and online games and the things where they innovate like MK8's online are likely just lucky mistakes. You are better off just finding people to play with, which tends to be more fun than random people anyway. The ideal structure for Mario Kart would be a classic PC style server browser, but there is no way Nintendo or any other modern company would actually do that.

>>715345476
Presumably they want to keep selling consoles and good word of mouth tends to be an important selling point. Other people buying and talking about something is more important than the quality of the thing for generating sales. It is just a question of how long any disappointment will last to have a noticeable impact on future sales.

>>715345763
>be spic
>also have completely shit taste
Glad our aristocrats imported you retards

>>715345137 (OP)
idk but I have basically zero motivation to go back to the game unless they fix it. I could find a way to play 3 lap tracks online but then I’d have to join a gay ass discord to find matches and I couldn’t earn points anymore so I don’t really feel like bothering at all. I haven’t played my switch 2 since they started forcing intermissions because there’s no point until DK, and after that there’ll be no point again because there’s no other games.

Unironically have not touched my Switch 2 since the first two weeks of launch. DK looks like slop for tendies. I don't know why I bought this paperweight.

>>715347239
You did

>>715347239
Because you're a faggot who wastes money on whatever is new because it's new or you simply don't own one and are shitposting.
There's no in-between for you.

>>715347239
That's FOMO for you. They are sold out everywhere so people wanted to secure one even though there isn't any current reason to

>>715345137 (OP)
>feedback is that the premise of the game is unenjoyable
shouldn't have bought it then? please step aside, this line is for paying customers only

>>715349576
>shouldn't have bought it then?
First of all, for most people they had no choice since it was part of their bundle. Secondly, there was no way to no pre-release that there wasn't a dedicated 3 laps mode online

>>715349710
>no way to no
ESL-kun...

>>715345137 (OP)
Boo cinema

>>715350019
Fuck you bloody bitch

>>715349710
>no choice
>part of the bundle they chose
oh no no no no hahahahaha
>marketing is open world mario kart
>"where da 3 lap circle I want 3 lap circle"
sir lets move this along, we have customers to serve

>>715350125
>marketing is open world mario kart
Did you miss the pre-release overview direct where they explicitly stated you can choose 3 laps if you want to?

>>715346653
sell it on the 2nd hand market, you're depriving nintendo from an official sale that way

>wah I don't want to play a key part of the game
God you're all a bunch of whiny shits.

>>715350229
Prove it I'll wait, I remember seeing the direct and it being about open world and new movement maneuvers. I did not watch that direct and think "Wow I cannot wait to drive in a circle!"

japs have severe autism they're not going to change shit

>>715345137 (OP)
Just use Discord. You can get 24 player lobbies that do nothing but 3-lap tracks easily.

>>715350376
Why are you pretending like all previous mario kart are suddenly bad

>>715350326
That is the whole point of the whining. We want to be able to play all of the key parts of the game.

>>715350125
>"where da 3 lap circle I want 3 lap circle"
They are right there in the game. You can claim you don't like them, but you can't pretend that denying customers is serving customers.

>>715350730
And the intermissions are a key part.
Don't like it? Go play mk8d.

>>715350691
I didn't like them, room filling with water.

>>715350125
Whatever your favourite series is I hope it has an update which takes away the most fun part

>>715350871
I wish Redigit would stop removing the fun parts in Terraria already, but god damn it keep adding more content please and thank you.

>>715350064
Is all style, no substance.

>>715350730

"Just play Mario Kart 8" doesn't work as an argument. World is THE launch title for Switch 2, the one most bought it at launch for a d as of now the only big exclusive to play. Telling people to play the previous game is like saying don't buy a Switch 2

>>715350821
No one is advocating for them to be removed. You are the only one whining about people who want to play things that are already in the game.

>Don't like it? Go play mk8d.
>>715351012
You would need to add the new courses and mechanics to it along with a graphics and animation upgrade first. MK8 currently does not have the same content as MKW that people want to be able to play. You can't just claim new is good and then tell people they should not want to play the new stuff.

>spend 11 years waiting for a new entry in one of the most popular series ever
>it sucks
>just tell people to go back to the previous one
sasuga /v/

>>715351146
>Telling people to play the previous game is like saying don't buy a Switch 2
Don't buy a Switch 2.

>>715351295
Doesn't even sound like /v/. /v/ SHOULD be saying that new games are shit prematurely. Telling people to go back to the old one is some twitter/tumblr shit.
>It's not FOR YOU, go play the old ones if you hate change so much

>>715345137 (OP)
What does intermission even mean here? Like a pregame lobby where you all just drive in circles before you get a real match?

NO REFUNDS

>>715351460
Mario Kart World has you drive from one course to another in the open world before you can do a traditional 3 lap race again. These tracks suck since they're pretty much just straight lines. A recent update to online made them impossible to avoid.

>>715351560
>they're just straight lines
Does no one whining about this game even play it?

>>715351560
What the fuck? You have to get off a highway exit to get to the next race? LMAO.

>>715351656
I guess everyone online picking random tracks wasn't really playing the game too

>>715351810
>shitters who can't adapt try to game the system
Their tears after that got nerfed sustains me.

>>715351875
>game isn't fun = game is hard
this is your last (you)

World is fucking awesome and Mario Kart 8 fucking sucks, what is wrong with you retards?
8 literally has no fucking mechanics besides drifting and all the items are fucking overpowered as shit and play the game for you

>>715351460
It is racing on the roads that connect the tracks. They started being called intermissions since people thought you would race a course and then drive the intermission to the next course. Instead, the race between courses is about 70% of the race with a single lap on the real course. Since there are about 200 intermissions/connection roads, they are obviously less detailed or well planed compared to the main courses and many people started to find them boring.

Controversy happened because people realized they could choose random to avoid intermissions and play a full three laps on a regular course and Nintendo quickly patched it out. /v/ will now pretend that giving players less options on how they enjoy the game is a good thing with various fake arguments for fake discussion as you can see in this thread.

>>715351240
>You would need to add the new courses and mechanics to it along with a graphics and animation upgrade first. MK8 currently does not have the same content as MKW that people want to be able to play. You can't just claim new is good and then tell people they should not want to play the new stuff.
You should want to play the new stuff, intermissions, patch causes them to occur more frequently. If you dont like Mario Kart World then play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

>>715350064
Now now, it's not that bad

>>715351941
Doesn't have to be hard to filter shitters. But we're talking about a community that tried to advocate for purposely having less racers because "24 was too chaotic"

>tendies unironically defend Nintendo dictating how you play the game YOU purchased
What is it going to take for things to be "too far" for you? Honest question, I want you to really think on it. Put aside the blind fanboy shit, put aside whatever fond memories you have in the past and pretend that this is just a game from a random publisher. How much bullshit are you honestly willing to take? And what does this say about you?

mk8 sucks I won't stop whining until they fix it

>>715347640
>That's FOMO for you.
It's why I'm glad about Deltarune and think Toby might have actually managed to fuck Nintendo on sales a little.

Nintendo could have sold MKW and Switch 2 on pure FOMO. But because Deltarune released at exactly the same time, anyone into it would prioritise it out of fear of spoilers, plenty didn't fear the FOMO of Switch 2 because they knew they'd be too busy with Deltarune.

>>715352062
>Honest question
just bad games, that's literally all it would take.
Mario Kart World is good. Intermissions are fun. Too many people tried to force basic bitch 3 lap courses. It got patched. You dont like it. I however do.

>>715352015
I like the new stuff in the game and World and I do play it. The patch makes it less likely to be able to play all of the content currently in the game because it is biased towards intermissions. Once again, why don't you want people to be able to play the new content in MKW?

>>715351978
That sounds absolutely retarded why the hell wouldn't there just be you pick a mode and get normal races?

>>715352460
it's even worse than that. You can pick the knockout tour mode if you only want to play intermissions. What Nintendo did was have a mode where you could play classic tracks, then take it away.

>>715352460
nintendo's ego

>>715352546
>>715352571
I just watched videos of it and it doesn't even make sense they would do that. It's like forcing you to play a fake loading screen. It looks like a worse version than something like GTA5 or Forza queue spots.

>>715352296
They should absolutely play the intermissions I agree.

>>715353070
It's easy to understand, intermissions are the hot new item and too many people were hamstringing their debut.

>>715345137 (OP)
Find it truly stunning how you look at the work and effort put into many parts of the game and despite all that you HAVE to go
>”Wow, this is one of the worst games nintendo has ever put out”

>>715355573
>work and effort

>>715355697
Talking music, graphics, the world and everything. They aced all of that but because of shit like this it ranks you can’t put it anywhere above the bottom-3 mario karts, and rating wise I say anything above a 4/10 is pure cock-gargling
It’s what’s known as “style over substance”, and you’d think they’d be better about it but they’re the worst in the industry when it comes to it

Frankly, I'm more upset about online Knockout Tour only using the 8 single-player routes instead of randomly selecting paths, it got old really fast.
