Oh neat trick user, I used to have to host and invite people from the steam group. You guys have fun for me like we used to, I'm pretty tired tonight.
Henry Jones
I'll join in just a sec, but I may be rusty since it's been a while since I played. Objectively the best kart racer of all time, and I LOVE shit like Mario Kart and CTR
Juan Wood
Keeping this bumped whilst I download it on steam
John Wright
Get bodied nigga
Daniel Phillips
One person in now!
Henry Jenkins
Change the track.
Aiden Roberts
How many people are in? need to download the game again
David Sullivan
I got fucked by the axes
Eli Young
Three racers now. How the fuck do I change the track?
Sebastian Watson
Almost stole the win from me at the end despite me dominating the entire thing kek
Gabriel Miller
oh, it's by voting.
Joshua Rodriguez
HOLY FUCK I FLEW RIGHT INTO A WALL
Aaron Hill
Im downloadin niggas wait for me
Daniel Mitchell
Look, one of you fuckers took Joe Musashi, so I had to go AGES on y'all niggas.
Camden Martin
I wish someone would mod in the tracks from the first game into Transformed. There's not enough tracks.
Fuck that game, that was stupid. I was in the leauge and I glitched like 50 feet into the air.
Kevin Gonzalez
Later bruv
GET IN HERE EVERYONE ELSE
Lincoln Sanchez
Yeah my car literally flipped the fuck over on the track and I had to sit there until it flipped back
Xavier Williams
I personally prefer it far more than Transformed. I'm not fond of the boat and plane modes. I personally don't find it as engaging or as intense as kart racing and since the first game is nothing but kart tracks, I love it a hell of a lot more.
What's fucking retarded is that the PC version doesn't have network play, but the fucking Mac version does.
Brayden Phillips
That was the most fucked up all star I ever witnessed in my life. Holy shit
Jacob Cox
I was the one that used it and even I felt like that was bullshit
Parker Myers
>I was in the leauge and I glitched like 50 feet into the air. I'm not sure what's the problem. Sounds like a typical bug ridden Sumo Digital game.
Landon Moore
Did everyone quit? I cant find any lobbies
Oliver Parker
oh no no no NO NO
THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF AMIGO
Chase Diaz
The first one has Opa-Opa, the second doesn't. He was my favorite racer in the first damnit why did they drop him
Thomas Taylor
i did the internalid rage and booted up the game what now?
William Cook
I like some of the additions in Transformed, but I still think it's an overall worse roster. How could they cut Billy like that bros?
Oliver Wilson
Did you put in the password and go to matchmaking?
Ian Wilson
3/10 whats the deal bros...i thought everyone said transformed is better and the new sonic racing sucks cause its sonic only...
Camden Ross
Transformed fans just talk about Transformed. They don't actually play it.
Sebastian Perry
Go to matchmaking in the main menu and search for races
Parker Turner
i don't have sonic all star racing but i want to play games with Yea Forums.
Sounds about right. Gonna be fun when tsr lives for years after sonic transformed died in 2 months. Strangely enough i can still find games on 360
Bentley White
They gave the game away for free recently on Xbox Live.
Nathaniel Butler
Is the server still up? Reinstalling now.
Carter Martinez
Still up, 6 players now
Liam Mitchell
Well damn i missed that. Wouldve liked a free digital copy
Connor Moore
You're like 6 years late to the party dude. We played it frequently when it released in 2012.
Eli Mitchell
Something shitty about kart racers is that if you get jumbled around in the first 10 seconds and first place doesnt, they will almost always race uncontested. How do you even catch up in this game when theres no way to stop first place?
Jackson Gomez
Honestly, I'm just waiting for someone to break the seventh seal and play as Danica
David Barnes
I've always managed to claw myself back to second place, but you're right about 1st place being contested if he gets just enough of a lead. Transform's answer to blue shell doesn't even touch the lead as a majority of the time they'll be too far ahead to be affected by the swarm. What ends up happening is that everyone in 2nd place and below just keeps hitting each other and widens the gap for 1st place to win uncontested.
I also fucking hate how souless Transformed's weapons are. They're just generic items. At least the first game had them related to the games.
Austin Rodriguez
>Honestly, I'm just waiting for someone to break the seventh seal and play as Danica I'm on my way
Jonathan Thompson
You bastard
Juan Turner
You know exactly what im talking about, good for you m8. Thats just it. 1st zooms to victory and 2nd-10th duke it out for scraps. The blue shell is a necessary evil.
Props to general winter, ages, and bd joe in this lobby
Jordan Ortiz
It's a flight stage. I'm garbage at those so I'm guaranteed to lose.
Josiah Wood
How the fuck does the risk boost even work?
Jacob Johnson
air dodging near obstacles increases boost dramatically. There are 3 levels of boost traditionally, but there are six when stacked with traditional boost pick ups and risk boosts.
And the game crashed, so I gotta call it for now. Thanks for playing! I'll probably do this again soon
Elijah Baker
I wish this game would recognize when everyone was fucking ready/voted and just start the fucking match.
Ayden Mitchell
Huh. Learn something new everyday.
Brody Brooks
They apparently couldn't think of a vehicle design for Billy Hatcher. I find it to be a dumb excuse when they could make up vehicles for football manager, the roman guy and that goddamn eceleb.
>Exit out of All-Star mode in the middle of a transformation ring >Game doesn't register that I'm a boat and I fall through the ocean >Drift boost a corner >Hit a wave >180 spin out
Thats happened to me so many times. Same with the plane rings not registering so id keep flying through a portal but not transform, then a few seconds later get reset in a car. Completely kills the place and im in and puts me in last. Im so glad TSR is getting rid of these shitty gimmicks
Brayden Lopez
I haven't seen your name float around in years nigga.
Henry Williams
Race of AGES is always clutch as fuck. Jesus Christ.
Thomas Brown
Yeah, I've been enjoying life mostly out of the public light
Also fuck Race of Ages is impossible when you haven't played in years
James Robinson
>Im so glad TSR is getting rid of these shitty gimmicks I'm with you on that. Everytime I say I hate these fucking boat and plane modes, these fucking cucks defend the game with a throwaway "gitgud" line. I want to play a kart racer, not a half assed boat and plane racer.
Wyatt Nguyen
The thread inspired me to play the last Sonic and Sega All Stars, and I think I might actually find it better. The visual and sound effects give it a better sense of speed, and there's something that feels like it's an extension of Outrun 2006 in a way that Transformed doesn't.
I wish that game had online. I much rather play that version than fucking Transformed. Nobody cares enough about these games to try and import the tracks from the first game to Transformed.
Luis Wright
Theres a reason transformed died fast. Only hardcore autists who can deal with the jank stuck with it. I played the first all stars for years on xbox live but could barely find anyone a few months in with transformed. Now you have these same npcs saying transformed good tsr bad because muh taxi nigger muh boatz.
William Thompson
Fuck, I rage quit when like 3 people in the middle of the pack got all-stars one after the other. I like the fact that items aren't as limited to what place you're in unlike Mario Kart, but they went too far by having like 3rd and 2nd place able to get all-stars, and ahving something as OP as all-star in the game in the first place.
Ayden Long
I hate All-Star in general. It hurts me more than helps. I hate how the co trolls completely fucking change. The first game did it right by disabling it in online mode.
Wyatt Sullivan
Doesn't help that Transformed is littered (and still is) with bugs. Sumo Digital is fucking king of jank. LBP3 suffered from the same unpolished shit.
Owen Ortiz
True, their physics in any game theyve made is silly, but the first all stars feels solid enough. But the driving in crackdown 3...well I just hope tsr feels better than that does
Robert Gonzalez
People still playing?
Nathaniel Johnson
I'm not gonna play, but have a bump for actually playing videogames.
That was always annoying as hell. In fact, that has happened to me a fair share of times without involving an all-star, typically on the After Burner track.
Caleb Williams
Yeh. We're still in here, though a whole bunch of people disconnected.
I would say yes because it's honestly a really exciting game to get good at and there's a lot of single player content. But if you're interested in multiplayer, it's not worth full price. You might as well get it from G2A or something - it's not like Sumo expects to make money anymore on this.
I guess so. My hopes aren't very high, though.
Samuel Fisher
Nobody online? Matching -> race right ?
Kevin Martin
Yeah, remember to put in the password. If you come to an empty lobby, I guess no one is playing.
Joshua Hall
I never understood why people claim the item balance is better in Transformed vs. Mario Kart. Especially the distribution. I swear, I never see speed boost when I'm in last place. In fact, I rarely see that shit at all. The game gives you an overabundance of tracking items like drones and twisters. The All-Star ability is distributed in such a retarded fashion that someone in second can get it.
Carson Martin
The idea is a noble one: all items except for All-Star can be avoided or countered in some way. The homing weapons can be hit with items, or the player can time their boost to escape. Even the blue-shell swarm can be avoided if the player is deft enough to evade it.
I think they do try to give more items to the players in the back, like two RC cars instead of one. But you are right that the All-Star is obviously supposed to be a catch-up mechanic, but it can go to literally anyone, creating the chance of the rich getting richer.
Nathan Richardson
I don't see how that's a valid argument. You can counter most items outside of lighting and blue shell in Mario Kart 8, and with the Deluxe release, there's a lot more defensive options now that trailing item makes a return. The item distribution is far better in Deluxe as well with people in the back getting items that will actually help in catching up with the entire race, not just the person in front of you. It's a good idea on paper, but I don't think they did a good job executing it.
Josiah Lewis
Yeah, it's pretty fun. It kinda feels like the MUGEN of kart racing games with the amount of mods it has. I was on that thread playing with some anons, good times.
It's really difficult to master though, I don't think I ever made it into the top 5.
I haven't played MK8, so I don't know the specifics. But SASRT tries to take out catchup mechanics altogether under the pretense of "the most skilled wins." The problem is that that works fine if you're doing something like a 1v1 race where there's enough space to let the racers respond to each other. But, as you noted, with enough players it just turns into a clusterfuck where the person in first becomes a runaway winner because all of the players behind him can only fuck each other up instead of actually trying to stop the leader.
Hudson Myers
Did they do something to this game in an update? I got 80 hours out of it with no problems, but now I can barely manage 30 fps on Ocean View. What the fuck.
Juan Hernandez
Installing my game, wait for me guys
Colton Reyes
Don't do fullscreen/window mode. I had to switch to fullscreen.
Charles Ramirez
Yeah, it's simply not possible to do a skill based race with items that have auto tracking abilities. Not to mention that the netcode isn't exactly the best so pulling off speed boost to dodge items isn't always guaranteed.
