Why is this a good thing? I didn't make this video for clicks, i made it because i want to play a good ass game. So lets remain positive, and hope more patches release.

I agree whole game is a mess... And I have solid 500h clocked in in SRB2Kart... 1. I hate the stupidity of rings 2. The whole "oh if you are not fast enough you are not getting up this slope" is annoying as fuck. 3. The the "spin dash" is useless and annoying to use 4. Why the hell they even introduce the "tricks"?! 5. Too many "effects", jumps, it's a clusterfuck. 6. WE DID NOT NEED MORE THINGS THAT JUST BOUNCE US AROUND THE MAP...

Allow me to counter your 4th argument... As a Mario Kart player, the way that the Kart Krew implemented tricks in Ring Racers is genuinely more interesting. Unlike Mario Kart, there's no true methods of tricking correctly, though I don't think you should be directly punished for deciding not to trick at all if given the opportunity to do it. Otherwise, I find the implementation to be cool. I may be more of a Mario fan than a Sonic fan, but I can give credit where it's due and admit that, in my opinion, a group of Sonic fans did what _Nintendidn't_ : Implement a feature very well! In fact, tricking in Mario Kart is the one that feels more like a filler between the two compared kart racers in this case. Unless that's already the case, don't you think you should have more of a problem with Mario Kart's tricking? Well that is if you did play any of the Mario Kart games, especially Wii, 7, 8 (Deluxe) and/or Tour.

Other than "Lite Steering" being turned on by default (apparently with this you have to press DOWN to make sharper turns), the gameplay itself is mostly fine. The ranking system however can go to hell. Went out of my way to get a near perfect score as Mighty so I could unlock Ray but I ended up needing 9 continues because the CPUs keep inexplicably whacking me back to last place at random times; got A rank on all tracks, final rank was still C because of the continues. Midair tricks are handled in the most counterintuitive and confusing way possible, sometimes you just want to reorient your Kart in midair to see better by reflex, but it ends up flinging you in the wrong direction. Especially on the special stages, this is horrendous. And speaking of the special stages... They're damn near impossible to beat. Even the first two ones. It feels like this game goes out of its way to be frustrating.

I've never played srb2, but I just wanna say that I LOVE the mechanics of this game. There's too many things to put in a KZitem comment, but I really love the way this game implements shortcuts. There's a lot to learn for the controls, but I think the game is better for it. If this game was just an extended version of the tutorial, I'd play it and love it. The only thing I've found that's a bit annoying is having rings and using an item on the same button. There's a ton of times especially while front running where there's no items in the pool that help you increase your lead, and you can't even use rings without wasting your item. It feels like the game kinda punishes you for being in first.

Maybe there needs to be more of a balance with the unlockables and such. I think it'll be fun finding little secrets hidden around tracks to find and pick up. Not entirely sure if I like the colours being locked behind that, and I don't know how hard/how long it'd take. I definitely need. to play more of the game first because I've only done two races after the tutorial. I like a bunch of the new abilities and they seem fun! The trick system will take a bit of getting used to, like the timing, but hopefully that doesn't separate the intermediate/pro players too much. Love the story elements and how colours are linked to a special invention of Eggman's, that was really cool, and the little quips that Eggman has. I'm not sure if the melee attack will be used much seeing as you have to ditch your rings first (though there seems to be enough around), so it takes a bit to engage it but I'll get used to how often to use my rings. Keen to see how the rest of the game goes and what online is like as well! There's definitely a *heap* of love put into this

I haven’t even played it yet (I always sucked at Kart so I was only semi-interested in trying this out even at first), but the biggest issues so far seem to be feature-creep and not understanding their audience. Like, the singleplayer emphasis is interesting, but the haphazard new mechanics mostly just overcomplicate a game that was already a bit intimidating for some casual players. And all the unlockable stuff uses a design that is aimed at either folks with tons of free time (kids playing Smash) or veterans/enthusiasts who are willing to actually grind out the challenges. I can appreciate how “cool” it sounds on paper, but it’s absolutely the wrong decision for a genre so focused on multiplayer.

I'm not really sure they have an 'audience' to understand. It's not like Kart krew is trying to sell a product, they're just making the games they want to. What audience do they have to create for when they're free to make what they want to make? I also think there's a bit too many new features, but also, if it's too intimidating for casual players, they should consider playing another game like SRB2K instead. This game doesn't have to be for everyone.

i like the actual races of the game tbh. they feel fun to go through. however the absurd amount of unlockables was such a turn off that i hex edited the save data to have all unlockables already unlocked. and the tutorial is really the biggest complaint i have. the feature bloat is a big concern. but it becomes muscle memory after awhile. however, the melee attack does not need to exist. i literally never use it. like it's so slow and basically loses your spot for a meaningless hit that barely reaches. you're better off just drifting or using your rings to speed up. like if it was only stages and characters, i wouldn't complain too much about the unlockables but literally 90% of the game being locked behind clear conditions is crazy. especially for a game that mainly only adults with jobs will be playing. they don't have the time to unlock all of that. however i will give it one thing over its predecessor, i like the cups. i always wanted to race alone and not just play time attack exclusively. imo if they just readjust some of the unlocks to be started with features and address the feature bloat, it can probably become a really good game. at it's current state, i find it a pretty decent game. just way too confusing for an average audience.

To be fully honest, I actually really like this game, but you have made a couple valid points. Mods, online and time trials should not be unlockables. The tutorial is pretty obnoxious, that melee attack did not need to exist and the tricks are very poorly designed. However, the gameplay issues that seem extremely prevalent in the tutorial are nowhere near as aggressive ingame. I actually like that this game has unlockables as it encourages people who don't have a background in kart to play it more and get competent at it. Having characters be unlockable is pretty fun but colours shouldn't be unlockable. I also like that this game has some pretty fun singleplayer content that SRB2 Kart was missing. Hopefully Kart Krew fixes the issues with the unlockables as well as trimming the tutorial. I'm pretty optimistic that they will as they have already made time trials, mods, and online easier to get, though, they still aren't free from the beginning as they should be.

I'm gonna be honest, Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers will *NEVER* Be as close of an easy to pick up game as SRB2K, I myself don't see it as a Sequel or a V2 of it, but moreso a completely different game Even worse, When I saw the tutorial being a *MANDATORY* thing unlike other games being "yeah you can skip the tutorial if you've already played before", I just lost all excitement and uh, yeah, just didn't continue playing the game Oh yeah and the fact everything is Locked behind Progression Walls is just a huuuuuge signal of this game being, straight up, *Not Worth My Time* I do want to see whenever they update it to make this better, mainly performance and less progression required unlocks, maybe even just doing a whole overhaul to make things just like SRB2K and not a Completely New Game However, Credit where Credit is due, visually and musically the game rocks, it's something I would never expect even from Addons, it's just massively awesome Nevertheless I think, as a whole, the game tries to be it's own thing so hard it fails to keep the main motivation oh and SRB2K Progression >>>> Ring Races Progression Will probably play the game again but only after enough updates happen that change things I couldn't enjoy

To me, srb2k is like a sandwich. Simple, good, and with mods(toppings) , you can tweak it to your prefrence (like slipstream, tricks, characters, modes etc etc) while ring racers feels like a buffet with random shit in it. Some of it is really good, and has a lot of depth, some of it is anchovies mixed with chocolate pudding. Never once would any normal person would want that. What i mean is that srb2k (gonna short it to kart) is simple, but theres depth, like breaking while drifting, sharp boost turns, etc etc. Its got depth if you want it, but its not nessicary to have fun or even beat the tracks. RRR feels like chaos incarnate in a bad way. The game by default has slower and more slippery controls to make up for the 1000 different mechanics added for who knows why. Rings, drop dash, spin dash, directional tricks etc etc while on paper sound cool as hell, i dont think they were implemented well (personal opinion alert) like rings being nessicary to get through parts of certian stages, the spin dash being extremley situational ( and has a similar function as the rings and sneakers) and just overall feeling odd to play especially if youre used to kart or any other kart racer. The solo content is wonderful, and its what the og kart needed, im a bit disappointed its all in this new game that feels worse to play (again, to me) but its nice to see how much effort and care was put into a sonic fan game of all things. I hope they add mods to take away the weird new mechanics because i really really want to play this game but i just dont like how it is mechanically. Everything else about it is fantastic though I get that this game is the game the devs really wanted to make but that DOES NOT magically make it a good game or exempt from critisism and to think otherwise is a delusional, blockheaded and almost parasocial way of thinking
