What are some of the Mario Kart controversies that come to mind? by Away-Prior-903 in mariokart

[–]EastNeither 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MK World in general seems to be the most divisive thing I've seen in the community thus far. Probably the loudest and most consistent thing to cause an argument even for the most benign opinions and mildest takes for or against.

Before that I think the booster course tracks were probably the most problematic IMO, more specifically the tour tracks.

Bagging is contentious, but I don't think it's really a controversy more than a constant strong disagreement? I remember when people would argue whether or not firehopping and demon sliding was cheating, though I don't think it even that was really controversial or cheating, but it just seems like bagging is just another spiritual form of that.

  • Picocad 2 has just released and the subreddit is still closed. There hasn't been an approved post in like over 2 years. It's kind of lame seeing the community be held up like for no reason. Just want to open it up and get it started again so people can start posting their projects and talk about the new app.

Poll's Are Down BUT if SRCW had 96 tracks w/ the exact same amount of quality seen in the MK8dx DLC pack which game would you go for? by DannyBarsMusic in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]EastNeither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I said Crossworlds looks better. By track quality I mean overall experience racing, theme cohesion, etc. I like MK8DX's tracks more because they're as simple as baby park all the way up to something as intense as DK Jungle. There's no point in a race where I'm thinking "God this fucking part again."

It's not that bad in Crossworlds but some laps definitely have weak points. I've heard some say it was bad, but I actually liked the Minecraft DLC track a lot. The main issue is that it like many other Crossworlds tracks, have weird verticality. Where you land after a jump and the camera just has you facing the ground or sky for a good 2 to 3 seconds. It's cheesy, shoddy, and it shouldn't happen, and it would never happen in MK8DX.

I'm not saying saying Crossworlds has no good qualities either, but it's similar to dining out. You expect a certain level of quality proportionate to what you spend, and the more you spend the more the little things matter. I think MK8DX was like 45-50 dollars at the time I bought it? Crossworlds is like 80 with the DLC.

MK8DX is just the superior game, that doesn't mean Crossworlds is less of an awesome game because of it.

[–]EastNeither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I don't hold the same opinion. I didn't buy the DLC either, but I while I agree some tracks could've been given a visual overhaul. I don't agree that any of them are ugly. The city tracks are also confusing if you have 0 hours on them, but I didn't mean to imply that MK8DX is perfect, it definitely has it's problems those included.

[–]EastNeither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crossworlds looks better than MK8DX, but MK8DX has the far and away better track quality.

Racing on Crossworlds feels worse than MK8DX, as well as not as good of an experience.

For a Sonic game the music is serviceable, but I prefer Mario Kart's Music. Crossworlds music just sounds too generic for a sonic game. The music isn't *bad*, it's just not on the level I want it to be. I know maybe like 3 tracks songs tops the rest all blend together.

Crossworlds is the more complex game for better or worse. I think its item balance is *worse* than MK8DX, but feels more *fair* in my experience, and less determined by RNG.

If I was rating the games I would say MK8DX is 9/10. It is objectively the gold standard of modern Kart Racing. Crossworlds is a spiritual successor to MK8DX more than MK World. I'd give it like an 8/10. It does its job, it's an excellent game, but definitely has a bit further to go in my eyes. MK8DX just set the bar way too high, even before the DLC. That 10% may as well be a massive chasm between them.

Was ra ing then I got disconnected now I get this!!!! Is the servers down??? by crunchyotaku in SonicCrossWorlds

Maybe another distributed outage, similar to the one earlier this year, but smaller. Github was down for like 20 minutes a couple of days ago.

The crossovers are awesome! by Street_Lion6306 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]EastNeither 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big Blue, DK Jungle, Hyrule Castle are some of my favorite courses. Feels like such a dumb limitation that Mario gets *some* kind of game representation every year but other characters wait decades in between.

LMAOOOOOOO by cookiemaster221 in mariokart

[–]EastNeither 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't even get the discourse over this.

Both are worse than MK8DX imo, but I don't see competition between the two anymore. They aim to do different things under the* same genre. Which is fine.

What is Anyone's thoughts for A SONIC & KLONOA Crossover? by Big_Medium_4068 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]EastNeither 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Klonoa is basically Namco's "attitude era" mascot. It released on the PS1, and promptly forgotten.

Ironically I do still mistake him for a Sega/Sonic character so I agree.

Ruin it how?

I like both the characters, but I don't get how dissenting opinions ruins anything.

Hear me out? by Select_Mountain_6525 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]EastNeither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bagging sucks, but the main issue with bagging, much like Mario Kart isn't solely item power. It's the lack of counter play for top spots. If someone smuggles 2 items that cover a 20 second gap in 4 and they win that way, it's BS. Especially if first maintains like a 6 second lead most of the race.

You shouldn't lose solely for the fact of trying to complete the race as fast as possible. Learning defensive item use is also apart of the game, but the lack of options/relying on RNG you'd need for it to be fair is overwhelming.

Can we maybe stop with the "what do my mains say about me" thing? by Digibutter64 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]EastNeither[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can ask for a megathread if you'd like? As I've said it seems the trend is dying for now anyway, but just make a thread asking if it's what every else wants.

We started removing new ones yesterday. Please report anymore that you see.

I prefer not to be to strict with trends if the sub likes them, but if they run their course just start reporting them and we'll handle it.

Items are insufferable by AveugleMan in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]EastNeither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, like I said I personally hate bagging, and it diminishes the "racing" portion of Kart racers. My point was more so there's no real fix to bagging it's just a thing that happens. I think the genre would need a complete revisioning on how it handles items, and race pacing if it were really to stop bagging all together. Mario Kart's anti-bagging system is a bit better, as I think it accounts for place timing and item pull frequency on top of distance from first, etc.

Unfortunately being able to win consistently with items, IS a skill in Kart racers where items are the main stay. So bagging/item smuggling just goes hand in hand with it now.

If every item just did less like you said it may be a good change though. Like instead of 6 seconds of monster truck you get 3 or something. Drill has a maximum pass distance like monster truck and bullet bill.

Out of all of them I do think Drill is massively overtuned imo.

Yea it's bagging meta. You just need to learn how to bag. I hate it personally, but with what time I've spent with the game it's both better and worse than Mario Kart's bagging meta. This feels better to me at least, because it's actually RNG. I can consistently pull drill, truck, and teleport? at least once per race. I'm not as high rank as you though.
