Why aren't you playing the closest thing to Crash Team Racing 2 we'll ever get, /v/?
I already played it for a hundred or so hours and Mario Kart 8 is out and is far better.
>>255130535
No one AT ALL wants to play with me, cause it's a bit more skill based than Mario Kart. Just like how few people want to play fighters with me but everyone is up for some Smash.
>>255130606
How is it better? Genuinely curious,
>>255130606
Does MK8 have an adventure mode? Also most of the roster of MK8 fucking sucks, Nintendo should release a Smash Kart or something alone those lines.
I played this game on released and had a lot of fun with it on the Wii U and PC.
Pretty much bummed out of it by now and play Mario Kart 8 right now. Both great games btw.
>>255130535
It's the kind of game that someone plays specifically to beat all the other players because he/she knows they won't stand a chance if they haven't played as much.
It's not very fun.
>>255130535
I fucking love this game.Shame that many people ignore it because of Sonic
>>255132102
>Game goes on sale
>Want to buy it for a friend so we can play
>Hates Sonic because of the fanbase
>Refuses to play the game even though he'd get it for free
What have autists done...
People around here played it a lot when it came out.
Still my favorite mascot racing game so far.
>>255130872
>roster
So fucking what.
Also expect DLC for mariokart a year after it dropped. There are very important things missing that can ONLY be signs of DLC
>>255132428
>Hates Sonic because of the fanbase
This guy is a dumbass. I should be hating Zelda, Final Fantasy, Metroid, God of War and a lot of other series just because they have a shit fanbase, but I just ignore them and play the games I like.
sadly the multiplayer is dead
also I suck at A class, but steamroll everything at B class, difficulty is kinda weird in this game
>>255132874
He only has this with Sanic.
kart sections are glorious, but boat and plane sections, while appropriately floaty, are just not for me
I'm not playing it because they ditched the awesome announcer they had in the last game for a Street Fighter X Tekken sounding announcer.
I HATE SFxT's announcer.
>>255133902
Plane are not floaty at all, are you crazy? Drifting in plane is super rad.
Boats I agree it has wonky physics with it, but it's still pretty fun
>>255130535
But I've already played Crash Team Racing 2.
>>255134565
Okay, maybe I meant more that it's disorienting having to deal with another dimension to navigate.
But the all-plane boost chain maps are literally the worst parts of the game for me.
>>255130606
>MK8 is far better
>People actually believe this
>>255133902
I wish it was just kart. Plane is alright but a bit boring most of the time and boat is just kart but all around worse. The only cool thing you can do in boat is hit a wave and get a solid stunt boost from it.
Still, adore this game. It's one of the better kart racing games out there.
Because the netcode is shit.;_;
Because video games are for kids.
>>255134970
I think one thing MK8 does right is make the underwater and antigravity sections handle exactly the same as the regular kart bits.
They already perfected the formula, why should I have to learn how two separate modes handle?
>>255135087
Ur so mature n cool anon XD
>>255135152
>why should I have to learn
Typical casual.
It's really nothing like CTR at all though
I mean I love both but nah
>>255135152
What the fuck is the point of different transformations if they all handle the same?
>>255131104
>It's the kind of game that someone plays specifically to beat all the other players because he/she knows they won't stand a chance if they haven't played as much.
this should actually be etched in stone
>>255134628
its shite in comparison to CTR

>Crash Team Racing
Utter generic shit. Mario Kart for the poor kids that couldn't play MK64.
Sonic ASRT is ok.
>>255130606
MK8 is rather disappointing.
>closest thing
>Drifting is that stupid slide shit from Mario Kart
Get out.
>>255136371
MK64 is probably the worst Mario Kart game. Rather be poor than have shit taste.
>>255133902
>>255134713
I think I agree with you. Kart racing controls is super tight, hovercraft is a little too loose but its acceptable, plane navigation is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK I HIT ANOTHER PILLAR. Especially those non-race plane challenges. The ones with the rings. You know the ones.
Which is really disappointing, because the plane STAGES are generally pretty good.
>>255135152
>does right
You mean "does absolutely wrong".
Part of why MK8 is so completely boring is because of the fact that upside-down and underwater areas are irrelevant to the gameplay.
>>255130535
You know who my favourite Sega character is?
Danica FUCKING Patrick.
>>255130606
Mario Kart has a lower skill ceiling and skill floor. But is INFINITELY more polished than SASRT.
>>255136371
shit taste
>>255136506
Is this what Crashitters actually believe...?
Anyone wants to play a bit on PC?
>Nights race is mostly plane sections
>>255130535
>the closest thing to Crash Team Racing 2 we'll ever get
MK8 is far closer
I like Sanic Kart but you have no idea what you're talking about if you think it's anything like CTR
>>255136716
No, it's just the truth.
>>255136716
Dude, mariokart 64 was worse than super circuit.
>>255133902
Planes are the reason I had to drop this game because they're not suited for keyboard controls and I'm too poor to afford a controller
>>255136887
I couldn't give less of a shit about handheld garbage.
I hope the next Sonic racing game ditches the transforming, and focuses more on SPEED. Like, F-Zero speed.
fucking ring races
>Learn you can shoot backwards
>Demon of the tracks
>Crash cart punishes you for drifting outwards too long and you spin out like if you were really driving
>Drifting other games is always HERE COMES THE TURN KIDDIES FREE BOOST
Why come everyone fucks this up?
>>255137292
because they arent CTR
its the ultimate truth
>>255137292
You drift too long, you become a target for other players.
It's a gamble/punishment thing.
cause the game hates my internet and kicks me out in the first 5 seconds of the race
>>255137292Mickey Speedway USA didn't fuck it up.

You guys are just bad at planes and boats.
Was playing the Golden Axe stage and Ralph (CPU) was stuck on the mouth of that dinosoar thing that holds a super pickup in its mouth for the entire race.
I want to really like this game, but the plane and boat sections are so shit, plane being the worse of the two
>>255137194
Not only that you can also look backward to aim while you do it.
>tfw I'm the only one that enjoys flying because it brings back old feelings of SNES Starfox
>>255139246
I can handle boats but planes just feel weird as fuck for some reason
>>255139268
Ralph?
You mean Fuck-It-Frank
>>255139342

>>255139541
you gotta turn that bitch nigga
you gotta drift nigga
>>255139246
Like 20 years or whatever of kart racing has gotten me pretty good at them. I'm decent with the hovercraft... there seems to be only so good you can get with those, so that's not too bad. But yeah I do suck with the planes.
>>255139424
Me too, planes feel awkward
>>255130535
Because i'll buy it on the next sale, i don't want to give 9 dollars for a video game.
>>255139424
>>255139707
>>255139769
I'm the one who called you all bad and I'm surprised that you all have trouble with planes over boats. I can beat any level or challenge on S but the ones I still have trouble with is the boats.
I find one of the keys to plans though is how much easier ti is compared to boats and cars to drift non stop and switch between which way I'm drifting. I try to be always drifting which gives more boost and makes you able to turn at a moments notice.
>>255139683
I do, but it seems like there's always a little bit of delay between the input and the plane movement, and the controls just don't seem very precise
I'm able to do all sorts of maneuvers in a Star Fox game, but the planes in this game just aren't as good.
>>255137698
You do mean S-class time attack right?
Jesus fuck it's irritating. Someone with high handling/speed like Eggman is a must.
>Played karting games for almost 20 years
>Hear about this
>Controls like an out of control butterstick with the ability to turn
Why do people like this again?
>>255140068
Its floaty but not out of control the way boats are

A British company called Cross Products made amazing dev kits for the Saturn for Sega. They had to reverse engineer the bloody things. Remember that the Saturn didn't sell well in Britain, so what actually happened was Sega of Japan made the Saturn, sent it to America for translation, Sega of America sent them to Britain to be worked on, only for them to be shipped back to America and Japan as developer kits! They even had switches that automatically switched between PAL and NTSC.
Did they fix the online or something?
I remember back when i bought it, it was impossible to get a decent room going.
These days i get filled rooms pretty quickly with matchmaking.
Hella fun game, at any rate.

Unless you're one of those PC diehardtards that swore off pads forever then whatever
>>255154656
Yeah, it is the same as a pad. You have just as much precise control with a keyboard as you do a controller. I use controllers for platformers and stuff like DMC m8, but a keyboard works solid for this game.

because the rubberbanding is ridicoulus and getting hit by items hurt you too much making the game quite some rng bullshitactually, it's because i S ranked the whole career mode and got burned out after playing a lot online and with /v/, i still see the group announcements from time to time
http://youtu.be/sAsLr_Ac6QU
MK8 is more polished, but Sonic Kart 2 gave me far more hours of playtime. I loved MK8 but I feel like I'm already done with it.
>>255179274
In my experience, you will never actually get good. It doesn't matter how fucking good you actually are, the AI will STILL completely fuck you up, because it wants to see you suffer. Perfect drifting, perfect item usage, none of those things will help you if the AI has decided you should lose.

It wasn't too difficult once Igot gudand learned that high speed and low handling is the way to go.
Why is battle mode kill? I mean, MK7 battle mode is more active by far, I shit you not
>>255182859

Just experiment with drift turns more. Its actually not hard; just make damn sure you play with a controller and not a keyboard
>>255182728
Won't that make turning a bitch though?
>>255184603
It's a fine art, but it's usually the best option outside of traffic attack.
>>255184603
Turning? You're always going to be drifting through all the turns anyway, and Handling makes a smaller difference when drifting compared to turning.
Turning is for scrubs.
>>255182728
That's true until you start playing Burning Depths.
Honestly, I got through S rank using what I thought would be the best options, for instance using pure speed on the coast level or using accel on places like burning depths or chilly castle
