Is it worth playing?

not really, the online is fucked. Might be worth waiting to see if they release a PC port, though.

The online is a bit iffy bu as far as single player goes you'll not find a better kart racer. Incredibly high skill ceiling with loads of unlockables. Every other kart racer will feel like racing in water after getting good at NF

it's extremely repetitive to play a racing game in singleplayer, I can't even imagine having the autism to do that. At least play local multi or something user jeez

The entire appeal of the game is mastering the drifting mechanics, the bulk of that will be done in single player.

CTR is built for time trials

then what's the point of it being a kart racer? why do items and other racers need to exist at all then, if this is how it's "meant to be played"?
The reality is that NF squandered it's online and multiplayer experience as they fucked with the balancing of the original game, the result is few people want to actually race against each other and instead play the game like a time trial. Even in multiplayer, you're consciously racing the clock rather than the other players (especially since few of the items are useful at all at hitting you in first)

I don't know what you want me to tell you. If you don't enjoy it then don't play it, you aren't going to get good at the drifting and shortcuts without massive single player time investment. I wish the online was better, but clearly Beenox isn't really going to fix much. That doesn't take away from it being an incredibly high skill ceiling game.

The point is racing in karts. Not every kart racer needs to be extremely casual like Mario Kart.

I wish they unfucked the balancing, then it'd actually be fun and interesting to play with other people rather than a grindy snoozefest that you may as well be playing alone. Also, yes, fix the fucking online already.

kart racers being casual is unironically the point, you grab a few beers play them with friends for a while. The original CTR was still excellent for this as it didn't go overboard whilst still being open for high skill play, NF completed fucked the balancing up and beenox never did anything to address the obvious problems.

no, is basically dead

No the point is having karts that race against each other. Just play Mario Kart and accept that this game is not for you. Stop screaming like a SJW that things should cater to your preferences and that what you say is the objective standard.

I think I'll play the original CTR instead, thanks.

>The point is to get btfo by anyone who likes the game enough to learn it while I complain its not casual enough for me to enjoy

Good. Play something else. Try Mario kart

>Mario Kart
>Mario Kart
>Mario Kart
what the fuck?
user didn't even mention mario kart once, he was talking about the original game.

Crash Bash is the superior Crash game to play with friends, and that is a FACT.

He never played someone in the original game that was really good since online didn't exist. You will never win against someone being good in the original if you're average just because you use items.

You lack reading comprehension.

it was (You) that brought up mario kart, obsessed retard.

Best crash game if you ask me, PC port when?

Fuck you I can't prove you wrong

user, there's being good at the game and there's there's being borderline world record tier fast. You're suggesting people should be speedrunning at near world record times rather than playing as an above average skilled player. You're so far up your own ass, you can't even see the fundamental flaw with your thinking.

Go read the posts again. Doubling down on the fact you lack the ability to read just makes (You) look even more stupid.

Last one

Get the PC port of CTR, that version is the best, so yes it is worth playing

This is literally every game which only has a small online playerbase left and a high skill ceiling. There are only the most elite players left, you're complaining about things that can't be fixed without more players.

If you play with your equally shitty friends like in the PS1 game the game is just as fun.

user, look at the reply chain properly this time. You (or maybe the other user since there's 2 of you) brought up mario kart in the first place. I never once talked about mario kart or mentioned it in a single one of my posts (until now, obviously)

there were plenty of players but the game's poor distribution of them lead to a WR speedrunner being in many of the races. It's unreasonable to expect people to be on that level of ability, it takes many months of grinding out race tracks to know how to do them at WR tier speeds like that. If the items were a little more effective, it wouldn't be as big of a problem, however then you risk alienating those top-tier skilled speedrun players. The optimal solution would've been to properly distribute players based on skill, but the game failed to do this at launch and a half-assed attempt was only implemented months later.

Not him but what other Kart Racer are you comparing it to with the standards you claim a kart racer needs to fulfill? The only other decent kart racer is Mario Kart.

I literally don't understand why you would complain about people talking about Mario Kart. Now I understand the schizo meme.

How do I drift in Dragon Mines? The part with the spiral ramp specifically

>Not him but what other Kart Racer are you comparing it to
the original CTR, you fucking imbecile. Read the goddamn posts holy fuck.

You say this as if being casual with your casual bros isn't possible. If none of you learn to maintain reserves then you've still got yourselves a casual kart racer.

The original doesn't have online multiplayer you goddamn retard. If you just compare playing a casual round with the dudebros locally then there is no fucking difference. Stop complaining about multiplayer modes when you want to play a local round. Even in Mario Kart 8 you shitter would never win a round.

Yes. Look at the reply chain and realize why you lack reading comprehension.

Yes. because based on the fact he wants a more casual game, as stated in his posts, it was recommended twice he try Mario Kart. Which is a much more casual kart racer. This is why you lack reading comprehension. Mario kart is mentioned because it suits what he wants better.

You don't drift around the spiral. Learn to u-turn through it instead and suddenly Dragon Mines becomes ez mode

>the game is bad because the online is bad
the absolute STATE of zoomers

You let go of the engine and either just hold the brakes and turn if you have enough reserves or you hop, hold the brake button and the back button as you turn.

yo dumbass, you omitted an even earlier post that I had replied to beforehand this is the first post that brought up mario kart. You instigated the entire mario kart discussion and repeatedly tried to bring mario kart into the discussion in spite of me never bringing it up ot mentioning it at all. I was always talking about the original CTR in comparison to the remake.

You can play the originals online through emulation fyi. However, the balancing and collision are still broken regardless in the remake, it isn't an issue exclusive to online but it is far more noticeable and there's additional issues with the online. Also see as this is the core problem with the online infrastructure of the game, it would be much less dead now if this was sorted out early on.

>he is doubling down on the CTR local multiplayer experience comparison to the online multiplayer in nitro fueled
Honestly speaking, has anyone here seen such a goddamn retard lately? This is already advanced retardism. Everyone correctly assumed he was talking about the online experience in Mario Kart 8 in comparison because that's pretty much the only other online kart racer that is being played but no one could have expected just how retarded that user truly is.
