It's boring for me personally. I've always found Mario kart boring though it's just always something I would play if other people wanted too

Most of these points are my opinions
- Barebones Content (Wii U) - Shitty item balance - Shitty Roster (Useless shit like the Koopalings and Baby characters) - Shitty items (Piranha, Bommerang, Crazy 8 and so on) - Star item is weak as fuck - Laggy Online (Deluxe) - the most boring Battle Tracks I've ever seen in a MK game (Deluxe) I could go on but those are the main reasons Mario Kart Wii, while unbalanced was still very fun to play (Local Multiplayer) The same cannot be said for Mario Kart 8. The game is boring online AND offline Mario Kart 8 is the weakest entry in the series tied with Mario Kart 7

So why do SOME people hate Mario Kart 8?
I think the game is not hated in general. Metacritic rates it 92 Points with a 8.4 user rating, which means it's not hated by the majority of players. I love it! However, my only negative point is that sometimes the online connection needs several tries before it is established properly. Once it was established, it works very good most of the time. I think this is a problem with their P2P architecture, but I'm not sure. |

It's widely considered as the best Mario Kart

they had to buy it twice. MK8 the best ever and they know it and you know it. The only people who hate on games are usually people who suck at games or dont have a competitive bone in their body.

Personally 8D is my favorite, and 8 was before that. It was the only game where I didn't dislike any of the tracks (and with 48, there's a lot of room to mess up), and I think it had the best controls, best customisability (character roster notwithstanding), best music, best tracks, etc. 8's item balance seemed weighted in favor of first place as whenever I was in first place I never really had anything come my way, which occasionally made first place almost boring. 8D is more chaotic: not to the extent of MKWii or DS, but still chaotic. I feel like 7 and on placed a greater focus on good driving, kinda like the original. Except with better controls. Like even in 8D getting hit by 3 items in a row doesn't necessarily mean I'm not in first anymore because the AI has never been good at driving (hence why they get better items than you; it's the only way they can keep up).
That's not to say the others aren't great, they just aren't as good as I think 8D is. (But let's be real here: 8D should've been $30-40. Not $60)

They had to buy it twice. Keep in mind not a lot of Switch owners had a Wii U before. One of them being myself. Also no one was even forced to buy it either if you have the Wii U version and got a Switch its simply a choice to get the Switch version as well I'm pretty sure the Wii U online is still up and running.

My total for MK8D after trade-in was only $24. "So you spend $84 for Mario Kart? That's stupid!" Sure I spent that much overall, but I had years of enjoyment with the original. I don't complain when I may buy a game for $60 at launch when people years later only pay $20.

Who cares if people bought the Switch version after owning the Wii U version. It's obviously a game people enjoy enough to do that. Hell people were excited about Shadow of the Colossus coming to the PS4. A remaster of a remaster with no new content.

Most people don't hate it and it is probably the one people will call their favorite the most. Those that do hate it will make lame excuses like "wah! Koopalings" while ignoring the rest of the vast roster. Same with the non Mario characters but ignore that it was only the dlc to do that. The only thing that really lacked was arenas in battle mode. Everything else is superior to the other games.

The game is fantastic. I'll admit that MK8D when first released had various online issues (weird that the Wii U version didn't have such problems), but for me, those have seem to be reduced to almost non-existent with updates, and I judge what a game is now, not what it once was.

Topic. Because some people haven't played any of the previous games since MK8 launched. Putting 8 on the same level as 7 is nearly enough to make me worry about someone's mental status, let alone saying 8 is somehow worse than Super Mario Kart or Super Circuit. We have people complaining about item balance when you can't even access half the items in Double Dash!! without playing as King Boo and Petey Piranha and Wii was infinitely worse in terms of fucking over players in first. Character roster complaints roll in when 7 had far more egregious offenses. 7 didn't even have a fucking vs mode, but some jokers expect us to actually believe them when they say MK8 is worse than 7, or even anywhere near the same level as that game. Okay. I honestly feel like people are just upset at doing poorly in a few races or having a couple disconnects so they decide to shit on the whole game and grossly exaggerate the game's shortcomings. You'll find worse, far worse, offenses in every single previous game in the series.
You felt your sins weighing down on your neck.

ReggieCeo posted...ikki5 posted...Everything else is superior to the other games. This is why I think having double items really helps. You may get coins when in first if you only get one item, but hold onto those coins when grabbing another item (or getting doubles), and you are 99% likely not to get additional coins. Otherwise, you'll just get coins most of the time. Having a non-coin item will sometimes fill the 2nd slot with coins, but having a coin item will just about never fill the 2nd slot with coins.

The same CANNOT be said for Mario Kart 8. Getting hit by Boomerangs and Super Horns isn't as satisfying as getting hit by Mega Mushroom or POW Blocks. MKWii chaos was fun, 8 isn't fun Mario Kart 7 is the most balanced between MKWii and MK8 so that game gets credit. Even with'Deluxe'Nintendo still couldn't get the item balance done right. Nintendo needs to fire the balancing team and get new ones.....

If you believe that, then there's nothing else for me to say. You complain about pink gold peach, but don't mention MK7's introduction of Metal Mario and lack of Waluigi, nor do you recognize that the koopalings are more iconic than a fat bee or a caterpillar.
So bananas and green shells are acceltable in 8th place while super 8s are acceptable in 4th? Good to know. So a blooper is acceptable in 6th place while 5th place gets a star? Good to know. So a fake item box in 3rd place is acceptable while 4th place gets triple shrooms? Good to know. This is how Mario Kart operates. It's not exclusive to Mario Kart 8.

I mentioned NEWCOMERS not the overal roster.
Lakitu, Honey Queen and Wiggler were more unique characters. Metal Mario isn't unique but he has appeared in other games unlike Metal Peach and fucking Baby Rosalina.
The seven Koopalings were just fillers. I would have accepted the Koopalings if Bowser. Jr was in there as well. But no, Nintendo was too lazy to add in Bowser Jr.
Because we got seven Koopalings, Pink Gold Peach and Baby Rosalina, the whole roster was just a step back. It looks like something a 2006 racing game will be able to do.

200cc is a lot more difficult to get far ahead in, and even if you do, everyone goes so fast that the distance is closed by the time you recover. Vs players online just depends on those players.

"27,146 sales is a decrease from 26,114 sales (Paraphrase)" - Linetrixfooedge posted...So why do SOME people hate Mario Kart 8?
I think the game is not hated in general. Metacritic rates it 92 Points with a 8.4 user rating, which means it's not hated by the majority of players.
I love it!
However, my only negative point is that sometimes the online connection needs several tries before it is established properly. Once it was established, it works very good most of the time. I think this is a problem with their P2P architecture, but I'm not sure.

Mario Kart 8 is the weakest entry in the series tied with Mario Kart 7
Most Wii U games are/were the weakest entries for their respective series with some exceptions obviously.
- NSMBU is the blandest piece of shit ever
- Super Mario 3D World while good, was easily the weakest 3D Mario for a Home Console
- Mario Kart 8 was unfinished at launch. What's wrong with you Nintendo?
I could go on, but that's all I'll mention for now.
That's the reason why Wii U is the worst (Nintendo) Home Console of all time
Because of shitty first party support
Not worst home console of all time but certainly the worst main Nintendo one.

Which wasn't even good to boot.Tom Brady is the GOATIt could be all the hours I spent playing MKWii, so maybe I'm more biased toward that game, but MK8 seemed really lacking in some areas.
It did do some things right. The courses are pretty cool and the game is pretty to look at. They took out wheelies, and cut down on the number of blue shells. The online seemed a bit improved. But that's about all I could find positive about the game.
MKWii had a pretty good balance of racing skill AND item skill imo. You may laugh at that statement and say items were too chaotic, but I raced some of the best players in the game, and racing skill did still give you a huge advantage on many tracks. But really good item strategy also could keep you in most races.
It's the items in MK8 that I found the most disappointing. Nothing is consistent, so you can't really create a strategy. Too many times I got really bad items in 9th or 10th place while I see 2nd and 3rd get way overpowered items. I once got lightning in 2nd place. That is just silly and in my opinion unplayable.
In the top positions, everyone is afraid to lay any traps or shoot items for fear of red shells. In MKWii, there were mind games being played constantly with fake boxes, shell firing and banana sniping. Almost all of that is gone in MK8.
MK8 is still a fun game, but I feel like the big comebacks and item chaos in MKWii, while frustrating at times, also made the game much more fun and kept it interesting for much longer.Mini Mii

I am Gamespot's Unofficial Mascot....Love Me.Mario Karts I own:
Mario Kart 64 (N64)
Mario Kart Double Dash (GCN)
Mario Kart 7 (3DS)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch)
I have played a lot of Super Mario Kart (SNES)
IMO MK64 is the best and MKDD is the worst. Not having a new Mario kart for 8 years from MKDD to MK7 really made me appreciate 7 especially b/c MKDD was so bad. I like the vehicle customization in 7, bringing back coin collecting, and the tracks. Since MK8 is a lot like 7, I enjoy it a lot. I agree that the item set in MK8 is pretty weak, and the roster is a bit weird, but I only ever use Link so that doesn't bother me that much. I think the tracks in 8 are fun and I enjoy the addition of motorcycles w/o the clear wheelie advantage. The anti-gravity portions of the track are interesting, but I could go either way on those.I love GC especially PSO

Don't understand why I'm being summoned when I've expressed my love for MK8 many times. It has amazing graphics, does a shitton of worldbuilding for the Mario universe, and has some of the best tracks in the entire series including DLC, plus the antigravity mechanic is an actual real innovation (No, it doesn't work like it does in F-Zero).
However, MK8DX is a lazy cashgrab with virtually no effort put into it, no new racetracks and only a handful of new characters that don't make up for 8's only shortcoming, the terrible roster and MAYBE the battle mode for people who don't understand that the point of MK is racing.
The fact that there isn't even a discount for Wii U MK8 owners is disgusting.Even my most peaceful and calm posts are somehow designed to belittle those that disagree with me even a little, get used to it~!LimboStudios posted...NintendoWitch posted...

Sorry. I thought you were one of those that didn't enjoy Mario Kart 8.
Anyway I agree with your points on Deluxe. No new racetracks was a huge letdown and even the Battle Tracks weren't impressive in my opinionSuper Mario Odyssey = Greatest Game of all timeWhat I hate is the rubber band code in the game. Combine that with the AI being programmed to attack human players and it makes for a pretty miserable local experience. The AI is basically traveling at faster than mushroom speed and utterly pummeling the player who's farther behind. I play with my wife on 2 player and while we have some fun, it does get annoying playing against 10 other cheaters.The fact that they added only eight new battle maps and the only good ones seemed to be the retro ones is just asinine.
They should have had at least 12, six new, six retro, no inbalance since we've already seen that the new ones can be shit.
The lack of new tracks and no Diddy Kong or Birdo was also a huge slap in the face.SignatureDumdumwantgum posted...The fact that they added only eight new battle maps and the only good ones seemed to be the retro ones is just asinine.

100% this.
Seriously the battle tracks sucks, Wii had TEN, Deluxe only has EIGHT.
Lack of new tracks was also suckedSuper Mario Odyssey = Greatest Game of all timeNo idea. And before someone says it is better than 7 I will tell you why it isn't.
7 has a way better online experience that doesn't leave you waiting in a lobby for hours. The balance isn't shit either.I woke up like dih!
http://abload.de/img/1255ns2d.gifAnd wow a Limbo defending 8. Terrible user.I woke up like dih!
http://abload.de/img/1255ns2d.gifI think the series is really getting stale. It needs a serious shot in the arm to jumpstart it again. MK8 is a good game, but it's just so safe and predictable. They are just going through the motions with these MK games at this point. The gravity thing really did next to nothing to the actual gameplay itself.
I would like to see them branch out, sort of like they did with Diddy Kong Racing. What about an all Metroid Kart? All Metroid themed stages and characters? Picture racing through Phendrana Drifts.
Weapons related to Metroid like the Wave Beam, etc.. Ill bet that would sell quite a lot because it's based on the established MK formula, but it's a fresh take on it. Nintendo would never do it though. It's too crazy of an idea for modern Nintendo. Theyll just make another run of the mill MK game for the Switch.

That sucks. I was aware of it being p2p but I thought something could be doneWii U is the worst Home Console of all timeReggieCeo posted...If you believe that, then there's nothing else for me to say. You complain about pink gold peach, but don't mention MK7's introduction of Metal Mario and lack of Waluigi, nor do you recognize that the koopalings are more iconic than a fat bee or a caterpillar.
I mentioned NEWCOMERS not the overal roster.
Lakitu, Honey Queen and Wiggler were more unique characters. Metal Mario isn't unique but he has appeared in other games unlike Metal Peach and fucking Baby Rosalina.
The seven Koopalings were just fillers. I would have accepted the Koopalings if Bowser. Jr was in there as well. But no, Nintendo was too lazy to add in Bowser Jr.
Because we got seven Koopalings, Pink Gold Peach and Baby Rosalina, the whole roster was just a step back. It looks like something a 2006 racing game will be able to do.
Mario Kart Wii and Double Dash respectively introduced the best NEWCOMERS
The seven koopalings have been in the super mario series for a long time as villians. They absolutely
deserve to be in there.Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need.- Boards
