    In today's episode, I'm heading into the remaster of one of my favorite Kart Racers on the PS1. Crash Team Racing got the N.Sane Treatment, so is it worth just as much as the Trilogy? I sure hope so.

      @Joshua Suh I mean, your right but this came out after mario kart 8 and who knows what Nintendo's going to do for mario kart 9? Nintendo has been adding cosmetic items to their more recent games (Mario Odyssey, BoTW, Splatoon) what's not to say that they'll do the same thing with Mario Kart 9. They might not be microtransactions, but the idea is still there and they are technically doing it for a mario kart game on mobile. The game has been downloaded a lot from what I heard and people still play Pokemon GO. So you never know. Just be sure to not support it if you feel obligated.

    • @doclouis4236
      @doclouis4236 4 года назад

      @Joshua Suh Fair point. Though be wary about what they do next. We live in a gaming era where developers are creating more incentives for gamers to keep playing their games for longer periods of time and to unlock more stuff (usually cosmetics).

    I would like to point out that in _spite_ of Activision's best efforts, Beenox has done their absolute best to make the microtransactions completely optional. Lowering prices and adding the 2x Weekend Bonus to offline modes ensures that the grind is even more fair now than when the microtransactions were first added.

That is what i think of as a real problem with the game, but even more annoying is the fact there are 3 different boost meters which can be changed with a press of a button, but i'd like to be able to lock on to 1 single meter and also i would like to lock on to a singe camera angle, so i dont have to press L2 at the start of each race.

    It's really kind of maddening how they handle the pit stop and microtransactions. And like you said, even the way they set up the shop is so transparently greedy. They know that if they make all characters and cosmetics available in the pit stop so that you could just buy the few things you want right away, they'd lose their chance to ring you dry for everything you're worth. Honestly, I think there are some things they add just so that they can pad out the number of items that the pit stop has to rotate through.

    I did pay full price upfront for Nitro Fueled, and the microtransactions just feels like a slap in the face after they were added in.
    It's one of the reasons why I don't really play the game much anymore because unless you buy PS Plus to go online, you didn't really get coins fast enough to get the items or characters you wanted due to the constantly revolving store. It gets worse when you add timed characters and items to the mix. You pretty much need to put money into it or play it for hours every day just to get everything, and if you slow up, you will miss your only chance to get that GP exclusive character

    5:06 Also this was always in CTR. What was in Nitro Kart though was the fact that the boost meter would pop up next to your character whenever you drift, which fixed the whole not being able to look at the road and the bar at the same time. They honestly should have added that in the remake.

    I did go onto Platinum the game and once I got used to the new controls, beating the AI on Hard mode was a breeze, including the Oxide Time Trials outside of a handful of levels. I'm just glad that a RUclipsr has actually talked about this, great review as always Juan!

Then leave it be for few good hours and you will be raking in the coins. During weekends you can get over 18,000 coins easily now with this method since the weekend bonus applies to offline modes now

    But in this case its not a big deal
    Why?
    Each month the developers update the game adding One new race track + 3 or more new characters + 3 new karts + new game modes, skins, color palets for karts and wheels all for free
    I got the new 3 characters from the spooky Grand Prix without spending a single dollar in 3 hours of playing the game
    Is really 3 hours that long?
    And as i said they add this stuff for free so microtransactions are acceptable Just like in fortnite
    Even if this Is still unacceptable for you everybody Is ignoring this detail but before they were implemented people were asking for them

    What a terrible review.
    « Fair amount of content »? For real?
    It’s not only a faithful remake of CTR and practically NK but it also adds new characters, tracks, karts, and other content on a monthly basis and FOR FREE.
    Just ignore how much love and care has clearly been put into this game by Beenox. It’s a love letter for fans of the franchise with how they include content from and also post Naughty Dog. But i guess it’s still just a “fair” amount. Lmao
    And 11:15 ... how would you even see other players ONLINE without paying to have an ONLINE subscription, which btw COSTS MONEY. If someone has access to the online mode, then they’ll easily be able to get the content in the pit stop by playing the game and using the daily and weekend coin bonuses that multiply your coin earnings. Negating the need to purchase mtx, which, the option to buy them in game is placed in a non obtrusive and subtle way.
    If you’re easily tempted into buying stuff in games, that’s on you. And learn to discipline your kids ffs.
    But go ahead, focus on a dumb detail that doesn’t affect the game in any way. Yes, it’s scummy of Activision to have added mtx to the game a while after the game was out. So what? The game is still incredible
    But go ahead and focus in the negatives. Good job adding nothing new to the conversation of this game. “Microtransactions = bad! Applaud me!!!”
    P.S. you always sound so bored about what you’re talking about, whether it be a subject you like or one you dislike. Would it kill you to match the emotions/thoughts with the tone of your voice? What are you? A robot?
