Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

I don't even participate in tournaments here. I rarely even play online with my real life friends. I'd probably decline an online race request from someone here.

I take it because there's no CPUs to torture?
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Yeah I'd REALLY appreciate it if I can race online with bots on. Many other online games let you do that, I don't see why Mario Kart can't.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Occasionally on MK8 AI characters show up and take up a few slots
As far as I know there's no way to make it happen though

No, there's been plenty of times when a guest Mii has shown up when I'm just playing regional with no first-person character to tie them to
Um, what I mean is when doing online two-player the second player has to choose a guest Mii, but they still have the country/region data of the first-person

But even WITH bots, the online lag is stupid and would make me miss green shells.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Lag usually isn't that bad
Green shells hit if they're supposed to but sometimes the reaction time is a few seconds

Also, once when playing I was the only to get a starting-line boost and I was like "Woo 1st!"
But then everything just appeared where they would have been had they got the boost
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Well I'm thinking of battle mode, where you actually NEED to hit someone with a green shell

Oh, playing online battle sounds REALLY pleasant alright. What with boomerangs, fire flowers, and triple green shells downing you in a few seconds.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Actually the worst thing about online battles is that the battle courses are just race courses
Everyone is either so spaced out you spend like a minute looking for someone
Or else everyone's just going in a line

Though in some it's not too bad like Moo Moo Meadows has those open bits where everyone just sort of congregrates
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

oh yeah I can TOTALLY imagine a cat and mouse chase where there are only two people left on the map and they're on the opposite ends of the course, making it impossible to catch each other. >_________>

bots don't do this crap.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Oh yeah, the best thing about battle modes if that after you die you're like an invisible troll
I go around getting revenge on everyone

My brother-in-law doesn't play battle mode with me anymore -_-
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

That's always fun. Too bad the items you get are often on the subpar side (understandably though)

Seriously this battle mode would have been much more fun simply if we swapped out race tracks for arenas. It shows you how much course design matters in a Mario Kart game.

Even though I love Mario Kart 8's battle race tracks too.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I think MK8's battle mode could potentially have been an interesting experiment if they had structured it like Full Auto (ie: a race where you can gun down your opponements). As it is now, though, it's just dull.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

^Yeah, that's really the main problem
Also they tune down the amount of cars on Toad's Turnpike which ruins it somewhat
And the red shell rate is dropped as well

That sounds interesting.

Not to mention, Triple Green Shells are broken.

And Red Shells aren't as cracked up as the game makes it seem.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Ironically, Red Shells are a menace during a race. It's a shame that you don't see them that often in a battle.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I'm severely low on VR and coins since I've been focusing on ALBW and Tomodachi.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I have about 4000 VP but there's been like 2 weeks since the release where I haven't been able to play

I'm so proud though I was the first person in gamestop on release date
