all they had to do was copy over srb2kart's gameplay and add a nice shiny painjob over it and we would be golden but noooo we gotta frick up the gameplay for no reason

>we NEED to add fricked up slope physics that will launch you into fricking outer space because you hit a slope at a slight angle
did they ever figure out loops?
Yes and i'm surprised its not buggy as shit
>fixes it
wooow
Ring Racers' slope physics literally just feel like beta testing for SRB2 2.3
the whole fricking game just feels like a proof of concept
>go for shortcut
>wait for the speed check hitstun to end
>guy behind you hits you during that hitstun
>you are punished for being first to a shortcut
>There sure are a lot of human women
Do you even Sonic Adventure & Sonic 06
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>And yes I am counting Aigis.
I didn't like v1's gameplay after a while
>we NEED to add fricked up stun to litrally every single action in the game so the Black person behind you can get a free hit (also add absurdly long recovery that would only be caused by the spb in the original game because this game doesn't fricking suck enough)
I fricking hate that some shortcuts are blocked behind items because if use a boost from a drift that shit don't count and it's fricking unfun to go through
this, if I get the final stage drift boost i earned the shortcut
The hitstun and tumbling still baffles me, who though those was good ideas to put in a kart racer?
I can sort of understand tumbling, they just made it WAY too powerful.
Hitstun, on the other hand, makes no fricking sense at all. Especially with how often it gets triggered.
>they just made it WAY too powerful.
it used to be stronger before the /vm/ backports
me
>hitstun on top of getting knocked on your ass anyways
what the frick chimpanzee designed this?
why did he willingly put himself in a situation to be so close to an inv player knowing how the hitstop works for tripwire, just let them pass.
the actual context of him getting hit isn't whats bothering me, its the fact that he's essentially getting double punished for a single action while the person who hit him ALSO gets punished for it since the hitstun slows both of them up. it just seems like a really fricking stupid mechanic for a racing game to have two colliding players just come to a total stop fora second
i do agree, same thing happens with ringstun. I once lost online because I hit some gay with negative rings. the stun to both of us was enough to knock us down a position or two
anon what you were clearly meant to do here is not take the shortcut
you got punished for trying to use your speed boost item and the game's always on opposite day
game looks like SEGA HIRE THIS MAN garbage, therefore i dislike it on principle
Every fangame is going to look like that, moron.
yes, and?
Then just say you don't care about fangames then frick off.
i already did. you chose to get mad about it, and here we are.
I mean he quite literally did
you misunderstand the hire this man meme
oh? what makes you think that?
hire this man is for unity demos of Zelda/Mario/Sonic with EPIC graphics
ring racers is all unique and personally drawn art with a specific art style targeted
>hire this man is for unity demos of Zelda/Mario/Sonic with EPIC graphics
no it's not. what made you think it was? it sounds to me like *you* are the one misunderstanding things
please don't be this fricking stupid, there's enough morons on this board as is
well, i stand by what i said. if that makes you confused and angry enough to reply to my posts, that's your problem i guess.
so what does "sega hire this man" mean?
Sonic fans get the games they deserve
so why was that guy having a hissy fit?
They don't realize that they get the games they deserve.
Sonic Frontiers, and I don't mean that in a good way
not reading that entire post chain
the hire this man meme is when fans make very low effort fangames with default engine lighting that looks overly realistic and try to show it off as something cool like all those WHAT IF MARIO WAS REAL??? videos that used to show up years ago where a guy just took a 200k poly mario model and put it in unreal engine
Because this game doesn't apply to the meme in the slightest?
>Verification not required.
i'm not sure how that relates to anything. could you please explain how you think it does?
My condolences for your deafness and moronation.
It couldn't be further from HIRE THIS MAN anon
lurk moar
oh? what makes you say that?
Another anon already responded to you
>I was merely pretending
lurk moar
serves me right for asking questions and expecting to chat with people, i guess
It's terribly designed game.
This game here shows why every design team should have a user experience designer, there's too much nonsense "gameplay mechanics" over-riding the default basic kart gameplay. As a matter of fact, even ONE of those mechanics by themselves + kart gameplay would be fun
Normal Kart Gameplay: Go fast, steer correctly, drift on time, use items to your advantage.
Sonic Kart Gameplay: Normal + Get Rings Go Faster
Simple right?
This shit:
> You need to "use" rings to go faster, its not inherent based on how many you have.
> There's items you need to interact with like switches that require you to have no rings.
> There's powerups that require relatively precise mechanics.
> Stun barriers that prevent your progress simply because of speed
> Weird drifting
> Item Box - Whose mechanic was established in Mario Kart (works like wheel of fortune), now requires you to manually choose what you want, while driving, drifting, dodging and doing everything else.
Its a mess.
The sprites look nice though.
Its not really a mess but I understand you can't handle more mechanics in your kart racer and you got filtered but good thing you still have srb2kart that you can play
t. racing game tourist
>this much bootlicking
tell me if the fricking ring debt mechanic is any good
NTA but if you run out of rings that's usually your fault.
>accidentaly get hit by a banana
>lose 5 rings
>get combo'd by somebody with a invicibility
>that's other 10 gone
>get out of the track after and lose 3 more
>have to use the remaining 2 to boost in conjuction with a spin dash
>now no rings, accidentaly bumped with someone and now i'm spinning like a homosexual
tell me if any of this shit is okay
Why'd you drive into a banana?
dev posts
If you want a serious answer, the majority of the time people get ring stung it's because they boost when they don't need to and constantly let themselves run out in the middle of the pack. They want ring sting removed to make up for their lack of restraint.
>they boost when they don't need to
well it feels like you need to ring boost whenever you take a drift turn.
should have done the no-ring spin move to parry them, skill issue.
All of those are skill issues have plenty of ways to maintain rings and you have a defensive option you can use that is actually very good
>touch a single ring box and instantly at max rings again
>or just find some since most maps have a ton
wow
dev post
All I really want is the drifting to be reworked cause this shit sucks man.
I played it today and the gameplay is nonsense, but so was SRB2Karts so not really a valid comparison. Everyone complains about the tutorial but it was only after the tutorial that I stopped having fun
i sincerely don't understand. From the moment they had shown tumble, it became clear it was a questionable game at best, but even though it sucks, you can still play the SRB2Kart, why do people just feel the need to b***h and moan instead of actually doing this they like. I guess v1 was so boring people would rather complain about RR online.
because ring racers has proper grand prix and bots, i can fricking assure you if both of those things get backported everybody would go back to it, its also the shiny new toy
Wasn't the first game also insanely complex in its mechanics? That's the only thing I've heard people b***hing about with this one
No? It's a pretty normal kart racer with a simple drift mechanic.
The problem with SRB2K is all the servers are running a frickload of mods
that would explain why i had a lot of friends playing the first game and no one playing this one, i wonder why they felt the need to make it overly complex then
The more mods you have, the better the game is. Simple as.
frick servers in any game that force you to install a shit ton of mods, i'm here to play the game online not to play it with 800 gooner mods and minecraft maps
tbh the way u get fricked over everything u bump with other people with ring debt should be exclusive to high weight characters
>now they'll change the name because of Mike Pollock controversy
But the Eggman voice in this game isn't even Pollock's. It's not like he's the only one who's ever VAd the character.
>>now they'll change the name because of Mike Pollock controversy
source?
What did Mike Pollock do? Or rather, what are bluehair landwhales SAYING he did?
He supports Israel and accused everyone who is pro-Palestine of being anti semitic.
Let me guess, on Twitter? I don't know why anybody famous uses that site for anything but providing updates to fans. It's all risk and zero gain.
>bluehair
why did that become a thing?
The what now? And how fake is it?
There sure are a lot of human women on the roster for what is supposed to be a SONIC game. And yes I am counting Aigis.
Every time I try to join a server I lose connection within the first two minutes. Anyone know how to fix this? I already tried making an exception for the game in Windows Defender and lowering my MTU to 1400. I'm using Ethernet too.
You connect seemingly fine at first but then DC?
My only suggestion is that after you first join you wait for the current race to finish and only join in on the next one.
I've tried that too unfortunately.
Anyone here been trying to beat the staff ghosts? I've been avoiding ones that use sliptide because that feels awkward and very jank to use right now
I've beaten some of the easier ones like shuffle square can't believe they even ruined THAT in v2
frick any by TB1 thoughever. Dude's doing all kinds of cheesy shit.
so whats the meta for online
shit and scream about getting wombocombo pinballed around for 10+ seconds
then do something else
Never hold onto items, always wait for invincibility on the item box (if it’s not there then pick sneakers for shortcuts), and always wait for jackpots on the ring box.
11/31 on v1
This game would be better if the cars had any fricking grip.
And if the controls werent bonehaded pretending to be a Saturn.
And if you could just trick whenever you're in the air for boosts.
And if you drifted when you pulled the brake...
this game has Vyse and Burning Rangers representation so it's automatically 100x better.
isn't this the game that added a bunch of non-characters?
that game rules, shut your fricking mouth.
the hitstun would be more tolerable for me if they gave you some kind or air recovery, like how you can jump after a couple of seconds when you got hit in a high place in SA and 2
or simply remove it
reminder
Can't say I'm surprised, trannies do like to make life difficult for themselves.
Whoever thought this was okay to put at the end of what is already a brutally difficult special stage should never be allowed to touch a map editor again.
A kart game for the thinking man, forget CTR
let me guess, if you fall off even after getting the emerald you still lose?
yep, go back to start and lose a life.
That stinks.
The stage prior involved jumping between steep slopes with spikes on the wall above, if you haven't already broken the UFO by that point, give up, because there's no way you get a good shot with the jawz they give you, and you need your rings to stay on the slopes between the boost panels anyway.
Long enough to make me seriously question why I'm playing a game that I hate when the feeling is clearly mutual.
How many attempts and how long did it take you?
Clearly the devs love trolling first the rivals then this
Literally JUST beat this for the S rank. Everything hurts.
Nice
This game is too complicated
i feel like a lot of the new features could've been optional mutators for SRB2Kart
Most of them were, but the devs threw them all in at once and put their own "spin" on them (made them worse)
The tutorial makes racing look more complicated than it actually is. The melee attack is seldom used, the only switches to hit are secrets, Gachaboms aren't found in race, and trick panels aren't very common. If anything, it's battle mode that's the incomprehensible mess.
it explains all of that but it never explains the positioning mechanic fricking lmao
i guess the point is that you're supposed to punt opponents into the line and get them to fault or something
>i guess the point is that you're supposed to punt opponents into the line and get them to fault or something
If you're a heavyweight, yeah.
Lightweights just get fricked everywhere except time attack.
What do the blue spheres in the bonus stages even do?
Help you go up inclines
why couldn't they put a small ring counter above your head or something
JUST LET ME USE RINGS WHILE I HAVE AN ITEM HOLY FRICK
item hot potato is so moronic. you're not encouraged to hold on to ANY item at all.
Hey anyone know how to get to the Ancient Temple in the Controls tutorial? Im pretty sure its on that door on the top, but I cant get enough speed.
That's not where the shrine is, the room is for a different secret. I remember seeing it under the water in the middle.
like the other guy said the shrine isn't up there, but if you want to get up there you need to fastfall so that you bounce off the roof and over the fence
only thing up there is a shortcut and one of the pieces to the ring racer puzzle
Which makes no sense, even with a rainbow boost I only get as far as the lower bit of the ledge where I land on.
At least now Ive seen the thing. Problem is how to get there...
Also I dont know how to spoiler here.
>I only get as far as the lower bit of the ledge where I land on.
yeah that's where you're supposed to fastfall
I am a moron.
Thanks.
>little lightweight homosexual parks his ass right up against the start line again
what does he think will happen?
bottom, he's a bottom
>get to sit out the starting rush moron pile
>roll a jackpot
>instantly back in the pack
Restatting should be in the vanilla game, having to decide between my preferred character and my preferred stats sucks.
Aigis went from 4 weight in kart to 7 weight in this game, pisses me off so much
I'm just chewing through the GPs for now. They're certainly going. Not particularly going for unlocks as yet, but I think that's when I'll either come to appreciate the game much more or much less.
So far, I don't hate rings as a mechanic as much as I expected. So long as you can keep a bit of distance from other racers and know where the hazards are, you aren't constantly scrambling to avoid ring debt. I wish the game weren't so aggressive about cheating to make sure you CAN'T keep distance, and I think the stuns are overtuned, it's not the end of the world though.
Position isn't always bad per se but it takes too much time for very little benefit to the racing that follows, especially compared to the tried and true boost start. Item balance is kinda fricked since you really want the ability to use rings for a quick boost and thus most items are well-served being dumped ASAP.
And seriously, what's up with the physics? It feels like your kart barely has an engine in it most of the time. You lose speed way too quickly in almost every context. Gravity is wildly more powerful than your kart on almost any incline, and using rings helps but this feels like a cheap bolted-on solution to a problem that was made up in the first place. Handling is really bad when combined with all of these factors, and the amount of speed drifting bleeds off.
I'm still willing to let it all play out between patches and mods (I pray), and I have some faith. So it's not all bad. Just kinda rough for now.
I hear there's actual secret shit to do, is this DKR-style sadism where you have to drive way off the track to get some frickoff collectible and then still win to keep it? In a GP even? Or can I do that stuff in single races, maybe even time trial?
in regards to secrets, it's a mix. playercolors is just found in maps even in freeplay with no cpus so they're easy to just get, especially since there's not enough spray cans for every map in the game so if one's a particular b***h you can just skip that map.
some of the secrets are moronic though. I especially hate the GP ones that require you to do one specific thing on one specific map, sometimes as sone specific character, and during a GP so you have to contend with the rival bs and if you miss it? restart the entire GP. Whisper is an egregious example, you have to go through the entire sneaker cup just to get to Whithered Chataeu, don't go offroad once, and get first. And if you touch offroad once or get second? Restart the entire GP, btw it's the last track in the cup
Colors I was a little worried about, but knowing I neither have to actually win the attempt I grab them- or even finish it- is comforting, thanks. Proper secrets being shitty is a BIT worrying but that sounds like it might be cheese-able with restartlevel? Perhaps? Oh god, does "offroad" mean leaves? It better not fricking mean leaves.
I've been getting my A-ranks, yeah. There's the occasional C for tracks that I just cannot fricking fathom how I'm meant to stay ahead on like Mirage Saloon but I've gotten all the chaos emeralds so far.
>And if you touch offroad once or get second? Restart the entire GP
If you have extra lives, you can just restart the map from the menu if you touch offroad, I know because I did it.
It's the dark green grass they mean, not the leaves
>I hear there's actual secret shit to do, is this DKR-style sadism where you have to drive way off the track to get some frickoff collectible and then still win to keep it?
Not really. There are spray cans hidden on every map, but they're instantly unlocked as soon as you touch them. There's also some hidden shrines for extra unlockables, but again, the challenge is just finding them.
However, getting enough A ranks in a cup is important for a certain bit of bonus content.
pretty sure only furry vtubers are streaming this game
https://clips.twitch.tv/AggressiveCovertChickpeaBrokeBack-t4qHDUGeHr3ECjpi
Lythero streamed it. But yeah as expected, mostly furgays.

Why do you bleed rings when trying to spindash after being hit? It's like you're only supposed to use the buffed version when in ring debt.
sega might as well just hire kart krew to make a new sonic riders game
The more I play this game, the more I understand it wants to be the Dark Souls of Kart Games.
It punishes even the smallest mistakes heavily (touch energy beam? Hitstop and pushback) and the larger mistakes cripplingly (miss the track? Two seconds falling offstage, two seconds respawning, one second held up, lose rings, lose time not boosting), but forgets the crux of super punishing games: they are not hard.
This one on the other hand, you're fighting dodgy physics and cheated rivals trying to lure in a feeling of clutch that never comes.
Actually they were inspired by fighting games (particularly Smash), which isn't a good outlook either.
>copied smash
I'm surprised there's no random spin outs like random tripping
anytime you touch something like a curb or stairs you lose all handling so effectively the same thing.
If they really got inspired by that, whipping wouldnt have a freaking charge time and would be used to parry/block missiles and crap.
And have its own button.
You mean getting knocked around like a pinball whenever you come within ten feet of someone else isnt that?
>You mean getting knocked around like a pinball whenever you come within ten feet of someone else isnt that?
this pisses me off so bad. just a bit of contact ALWAYS sends you flying.
well damn you might be right
