/vr/ - Retro Games

why don't you play proper racing games like gran turismo or multi racing championship

CTR, it's the best kart racer by far

Speed Punks

Wipeout.

>>5256819
Because they're not as fun.

CTR is the best kart racer ever made. And I enjoy Mario Kart as well, this isn't a fanboy thing.

>>5256856
That's the point. If I want to play 'realistic' racing games, I would just drive a fucking car IRL.

>>5256861
Driving your shitbox to work isn't even remotely the same as actually racing in cars designed to go fast, if you think the two are the same then you probably have brain damage

>>5256870
That's your fault for making assumptions, then.

>>5256861
This argument needs to be retired. It was first rolled out for sports games and it was bad then, too. You can't do these things at the level portrayed in the games without serious skill and/or personal risk... so, no, it's not the same.

>>5256879
Yea my bad I should have known I was talking to a retard

>>5256815
DKR. Only kart game ever with a good single player

Diddy Kong Racing

>>5256884
sports games are shit though

>>5257130
There are plenty of valid criticisms that can be leveled at them. "I can just play it in real life" just isn't one of them.

>>5256815
MK64

>>5257137
I think it's a valid reason. It's also why Virtua Fighter isn't popular while the more anime-style fighters like SF, KoF and GG are. If people wanted realism they could just go outside.

I really enjoyed CTR

>>5257225
Stop putting your own neuroses off on 'people'. You may occasionally have to deal with depictions of reality in your precious escapism you pathetic manchild.

>>5257225
And yet Tekken is very popular despite being on the realistic side, sports games are massively popular, simcade racing has a massive audience that surpasses almost all arcade racers, etc. You are wrong & dumb

>>5256819
>gay simulation racers
pic related is objectively superior to kiddie karts and boomer simulation

>>5256819
I would absolutely love a game with /o/tism but wacky tracks, hazards, and powerups.

>>5256819
>multi racing championship
I'm a nintendrone but c'mon now

muh meme singer man

*blocks your path*

>>5258495
Not retro.

You'd be surprised how fun this game is for a Game Gear game

>>5258509
Your mom's pussy's retro.

>>5256859
CTR is slower than MK64.

>>5258509
It's retro in spirit.

>>5256815
Console wars are pointless for consoles out of production. I play any good games on any platform and I don't care about "best" at all. Stop with these "vs." threads and just point out good games worth playing.

Sorry, friendo, but the best is double dash.

>>5258748
>believing that a company which is incapable of making anything but tech demos could have designed the best kart racer
lol

>i've never played a non-nintendo game in my life

Get a load of this turbo faggot.

>>5258835
Actually this is a CTR vs DKR thread.

I own CTR, with my copy acquired back in 1999. I'm a little bit surprised by the sudden veneration in the game because in the past it was only ever described as tech impressive for the PS1 and "solidly" designed but not a classic.

If I would harbor a guess as to the sudden interest in CTR, it would be due to Sony fanboys finding pride in Naughty Dog due to their status as Sony's prime AAA studio over the last decade and so everything in their library is correspondingly overrated with hindsight (you see similar phenomenons with bands that didn't have a break-out hit until their third album, suddenly people overrate their first and second albums).

That and people born in the late 90s treating the 1999 with blissful nostalgia. Of course, because it was never a true classic (unlike MK64 and DKR which were frequently talked about on /v/ even 10 years ago) nobody outside of the nostalgia group cares much for it.

>>5258495
This is the real correct answer. It's so good I'd say it's actually better than any of the Mario Karts.

>>5258887

Yes, dude. CTR has always been ignored, the remake made it good all of a sudden. Go suck a thousand niggers dicks, you disingenuous faggot. Nintendo has endured this long for one single reason, nostalgia.

>>5258887

>>5258918
why the guy in the bottom left is trying so hard? He looks dead inside, realizing what a meaningless existence his life is.

>>5258918
Go back to /v/

Those are the eyes of a void drone that shills for socialism while being the most absurd and hyperbolic example of a mindless consumerist.

ctr

neither.

No Sonic R? Do you even feel the sunshine, bro?

>>5260990
It's ok anon. They must not be Livin' in the City. We're the only ones that Work it Out.

>>5256819
The amount of realism a game has is inversely proportional to how much fun it is

>>5258887
Nah I still regularly play mk an ctr with my friends and I would give it to crash despite mk being my first. Most people I know who plyed them back in the day seem to agree. Not to mention we've been discussing this for years on here.

>>5261237
Not when it comes to racing where it's the opposite since realism makes for deeper, more challenging and more intense gameplay

>>5260990
All jokes aside, Sonic R is actually a pretty decent game once you learn how to play it, which is using an acceleration button and the shoulder buttons for braking, most try to play it like a 3D platformer by holding up on the D-Pad but it makes the game retardedly difficult to control properly. It's not an amazing game, but it's fun to run through in an hour.
