it's insidious, crash is dead once again
everyone who defends this, or tries to bargain is a retard
things will only get worse
we know

but you shouldn't link jim sterling

I realize this sort of thing is rightfully loathed online and pushback should be encouraged (even though it never seems to work).
But it gets tiring seeing Jim pump out a video like this every single time it happens.

this guy has a really annoying voice, couldn't watch the whole video

Yes we know. There are already 3 threads about it.

You will get over it.

>Activision
>Microtransactions

How are you even the most bit surprised.

Not OP, but Crashfags on Yea Forums kept going on in the weeks up until release about how the game wouldn't have them, despite the way purposefully inconvenient way the in-game store was built.

Crashfags bragged for weeks that there would be no microtransactions, it's not rocket science

maybe the industry shouldn't give him excuses to make videos then?

>But it gets tiring seeing Jim pump out a video like this every single time it happens.
He acknowledges this but says he doesn't give a shit because if he doesn't blast your notifications up everytime they pull this shit it's basically letting them get away with it

Imagine being so weak that you have to buy wumpa coins

I want to fug Coco

We were telling doomsayers to fuck off before we could play the game, and experience those sweet sweet DNFs for ourselves in a game we had practiced on and off for 20 years.

You faggots were literally halting all discussion due to microtransaction speculation when most of us didn't have the game, and they weren't even there.

Nevertheless it was a good month, but in no part thanks to you.

But the people who care enough to watch the videos aren't the ones supporting it in the first place.

And where are we now?

We were goddamn right you stupid fucking Bandicuck.

It doesn't matter that you were right. That's the point.

Fun was had.

at what price?

How many goddamn fucking threads are you going to fucking make about this shit

But user we need to make everyone stop playing the game now that you can buy cosmetics faster with real.money

It was well worth the price of admission, at the least. Shame that Actijew happened, but I still got what I wanted.

I knew this would be my only Activision game.

You think it's bad here, you must've missed the prerelease DMC5 threads.

I think we should have a positive outlook on this, and hope the backlash has some effect.
What do you guys think of the new content revealed for BNT? The hover car looks slick as fuck

>game stops with the MTX
>spyro GP is the last content they release for this game cuz they ran out of money
Good job retards

A lot of the new stuff is pretty hit or miss, honestly. Stuff like Baby T, Sabertooth Pura, and the Probulot 2000 are pretty cool, but stuff like the Babies and the Nostalginator are pretty shit. I'm hoping the next few GPs are better, honestly.
But Prehistoric Playground looks cool, so that's nice.

They already confirmed more GPs with characters like Nina and N. Brio, you retarded doomposter.

>make shit games nobody wants to play.
>have to remake old games because new games are shit.
>new old games are also shit

>Yea Forums loves it and cant wait until the next new old shit game gets released.

Jim is so frustrating. he sees the issue but refuses to see the cause.
>these GREEDY CEOS it's never enough money for them!
It's not greedy CEOs dude. it's capitalism. and the only reason your favorite dev isn't fucking you over this way right now is because they are current not in a position that allows them to do so. the moment they are in that position they fucking will.

I don't think I have ever said this before so you should be proud that you are the first person I bring it out for
COPE

The only things that gnaw at the back of my mind is that they will drop the WC multipliers for the microtransactions and if people don't invest in their shitty microtransactions they'll eventually drop the roadmap like said. I've heard of and seen some games have a post layout for content and its either half assed or just dropped. But on a good note that nerd crash looks great.

Cope :^)

>it was obviously coming
>we should have just pretended it wasn't so a few nostalgia fags would live in deliberate ignorence.

t. DNF

Back to MK8D and Sonic Team Racing, I guess.

More like Crash Bandicuck lmao

This is the only shitter GP honestly, look at what's ahead

Nobody was pretending it wasn't coming except literal shills.

>they ran out of money

It's almost like where the funds go in a lot American vidya companies is completely fucked. You'd think ActiBlizz could throw more money at it, considering how much they cheat out of paying in their taxes, but oh well.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There's your problem.

Honesty can't be mad over the mtxs, I only play the same few characters and karts, and have all the costumes for those characters. They'll be monetizing cosmetics so I can't get to mad considering the race tracks are free

Called it and fags kept insisting it wasnt happening. You retards dont understand what a bait and switch is. They set up a system perfect for microtransactions, dont have them though so you buy the game, and then patches them in

capitalism's end goal is for one person or group to own all of the money in the world. the only reason most people are okay with it is because they somehow think that that top1% might be them. the truth is no matter what political dogma you subscribe too facts are facts and they don't care about your feelings. also you shouldn't try and argue politics on a board for video games you might get silly responses.

Seriously? Even if the game is fun?

>Watch this video from some meme e-celeb
No thanks. Why don't you tell me how this is going to have any effect on my gameplay experience? Hard mode: try to use actual arguments instead of just greentexting and insults.

I have an overabundance of coins & I bought all the GP shit plus non GP shit, fucking normies man.

You just greentexted my argument and now you're telling me I can't greentext any arguments back

Heh glad I dodged the nostalgia bullet.

He's a retard just ignore him

why would you reward shitty monetization tactics just because a game is fun?

I wouldn't? I'd play the game and ignore the microtransactions, done it lots of times.

I can't sit and say my interest on a game I've been waiting for is gone because they added an optional (albiet shitty) shop.

And neither do you. Again, I DARE you to tell me how this MTX update has any effect on my gameplay experience. I dare you.

It's going to get worse and worse. that is the nature of this kind of thing. publishers are already selling people games in pieces and chunks. full games are asking $100+ games only "need" to cost that much because the companies making them have bloated to eve that aren't easy sustained. and while I get your sentiment it'll come for you one day too. If you hate modern games I'm not sure why you are here and not on /vr/ but this goes beyond games. look around you at the he word we live in and tell me things will just stop here companies are making enough money and will never grow. you are a cuck to all of this as much as the skin pigs are. it's not a good idea to turn a bind eye to a of this even if it is just skins in a shitty modern video game. it normalizes it.

Beenox genuinely made a good product. Sekiro was also quite good despite being published by Activision.

Sometimes the devs just deserve it, even if the publisher doesn't.

why does that matter?

Why couldn't it be the true Sekiro of kart racers down to the lack of microtransactions?

Because they promised there wouldn't be microtransactions, it's the exact same thing Activision thing with Black Ops 4 last year (no MTX at launch, patch them in later after reviews say the game is good) thus setting a troubling precedent, and there's SO MUCH shit wrong with the game right now (glitches, online not working, offline coin payouts being shit, the grind in general, baby grand prix etc) that this is just the worst possible fucking time to introduce it. If they snuck it in during the Spyro grand prix, maybe they would have gotten away with it

again, HAVE SOME STANDARDS

Kids. Jim cites studies in the video that have determined that they can and have been psychologically manipulated by their peers into buying cosmetics because they don't want to feel intimidated or bullied for sticking to the default stuff. And really you don't even need a study for that kind of shit, it's common sense, kids are fucking brutal.

What education system produced this? Even America's isn't that bad.

Who is grinding for anything? I'm just playing a game that I enjoy and earning cosmetics while I'm at it. I'm not grinding nor am I wasting my money on wumpa coins.

Fair enough. Sucks for the kids who fall for this but it's still not going to affect me in any way so desu I don't really care

>i'm retarded and buy microtransactions

>Jim cites studies in the video that have determined that they can and have been psychologically manipulated by their peers into buying cosmetics because they don't want to feel intimidated or bullied for sticking to the default stuff

I have literally never felt such a thing

Reminder where we live in an age where kids get bullied for not having the latest premium Fortnite skins.
Sure, you don't HAVE to spend any money, but when you're getting told what a loser you are for only having the default shit, just stumping up the cash to get it now and shut everybody up can be tempting to some people.

Ehhh Stormy Ascent was paid DLC at first. It was free for like a week when it came out, then became paid, then went back to permanently free when the game went multiplat--but still, they were content with letting you pay for it for months.

Yeah, you don't feel targeted because you aren't the main target. Who they really want are the people who have compulsive spending issues and/or people who'll buy shit due to peer pressure.

This thing doesn't even have anti piracy, you can go online and never get banned

When are you all going to admit that you just want to be angry for no real reason?

Well people love taking it up the ass too so it's a win win for gamers and CEO's. People that truly enjoy video games better find a new hobby, because this one is fucked. Well, AAA is anyway

Waiting weeks after release to patch the microtransactions in really is a dirty new tactic Activision has come up with. They clearly KNOW how negatively viewed they are these days, but can't resist that sweet profit enough to abstain from them.

BASED

In street fighter 5 they nerfed ways how to earn ingame currency.
In that new ass creed game they nerfed amount of EXP you gain per mission.

You may not see problem now, but it can appear out of nowhere.

this. Just try refunding it

lmao, no

>Get all cosmetics without spending any real money

Big-name companies choose to lavish their games with huge budgets and treat every release like the next huge thing.

There's plenty of fantastic games made for fractions of COD-budgets with no sacrifice in flashiness.

I played the game at a freinds it’s terrible anyways.

Alright, you got me there, but in my defense, a lot of games this day and age say they're hard, when it's actually pretty moderate difficulty.

So if I'm able to beat adventure mode on hard mode, does that mean im able to keep up with the big boys online?

is that really surprising? it's about protecting consumers. Unregulated capitalism is almost as retarded as communism. For every 1 company that does the right thing, pays fair wages, etc, there are 20 more ready to exploit you any way they can to make a buck.

That's best case scenario. the more likely one is it'll consume itself in a fire we will all be burned in. but i mean if that's not the end goal what is? "maximize profits" taken to an autistic extreme is owning everything. feel free to tell me what the extreme end goals of it are. I'm the kind of retard legitimately interested in what a shit poster on a video game image board has to say.
>jewish indoctrination is not liking capitalism

Thats some big think my dude.

You're right, we need a few >japanese ""humor"" threads to balance things out.

If you beat hard mode you're better than average, if you beat oxide in time trials you're driving with the big boys

But what else could there be? Either one man owns everything or everyone owns their share.
Unless you mean something like a slave economy where half of people own the other half. I'd be up for that.

Ouch! You know your game has gone to shit when threads are now about capitalism, communism, and Jewish mental engineering. People should’ve been more wary of this considering it was Activision involved. It was all just nostalgia pandering to reel in you idiots only to make false promises then change it up. And the sad part is, it seems to be working, this series was pretty cringe anyways. Fucking yikes!

I'm honestly surprised people even give a shit. It's literally just cosmetic crap, and you can still get all of it without spending a penny.

>But what else could there be? Either one man owns everything or everyone owns their share.

You got me there, you got something like feudalism, capitalism, communism and a mix between communism and capitalism. I feel like a slave economy would have to fit into one of these categorys as well it's just now some of your capital can pick cotton real well.

Watch the video, he BTFOs your argument

>Please please PLEASE give my video essay a click
No thanks, have a reply though

The thing that makes the slave economy really clever is that it combines both capitalism and communism. The slave owners are all equal and share an equal number of slaves. They enjoy everything their slave produces. The slave gives up all of their labour to their masters.

I watched the video, he doesn't say anything remotely worthwhile. Only thing he says relating to my post is implying that characters are not cosmetics, but characters in this game are straight up just cosmetic differences of 4 different speed classes. The only non-cosmetic content are the tracks, which everyone gets for free without having to bother with coins.

they have stealth nerfed coin rewards once already but go ahead and say this doesn't affect you, I dare you to sing the same toon 4-5 GPs down the line were you can barely buy the new skins without paying with real cash when they continue to nerf cash rewards to push you to buy bundles and shit

I didn’t until they announced that they were going to keep adding stuff after the initial release. It’s still not all bad and it didn’t make sense much sense to me to keep adding things to a game that’s already finished for free.

Shoo shoo. Away shill.

It's optional and only for cosmetics, it doesn't matter.

How much does the coins cost?

it's a good game so i don't care as long as the price is fine

Attached: DmPbzyBXsAAFsJ0.jpg (1099x680, 88K)

'Is just cosmetic' is daft to me because its like saying 'Its just a part of the game instead of another part of the game', its all shit happening on the screen, how is the look of the cars minor when how fast they go or how well they handle is also just shit on the screen?

I’m not saying that they haven’t done anything wrong. The fact that most of the content introduced is limited to a month with no announced return date is incentive to clean out the pit stop and spend real money. The game is also a month old and there are still a handful of bugs that exist and this is where their focus is. That being said I’m glad the game gets updates for tracks and characters because I was really disappointed when they announced that half the roster was cnk characters.

Once they know you'll accept it, they'll push it further next time.

I like to imagine that for a moment, the higher ups thought "do you think we could, like, put micro transactions but only some time after launch so we avoid bad press and still get to milk idiots ?", then proceeded to feel some guilt about it this really, really low blow, then shrugged it off. Somebody just nuke these guys.

>free new tracks with new music given for free
>new characters added that can be unlocked for free with just a few hours of playtime
>all other content can eventually be unlocked for free just by continuing to play the game
seems like a good deal to me, if you don't want to play the game why do you even care about the cosmetic stuff?

It is incredibly disingenuous since there was an interview that said “there will be no micro transactions and it will stay that way for the entirety of the games life span”. I’m more upset with the fact they lied to us rather than just being transparent. Anyone who has fears about coin rates being nerfed is justified since they have already lied to us once.

Taking into account my favorite dev released a game that didn't sell, then released another who sold even less and is now working on a third game that he also knows has a small fanbase and probably wouldn't bring much, I would argue that there are devs who do it for passion and not just profits.

I'm sure Crunch takes care of her.

It's not about it being optional, it's about the scum of a company reaching out with an open hand expecting more money from people that already purchased the game. And the fact that they waited until now to implement microtransactions so there wouldn't be any backlash on launch when most of the sales were made.

bump

It's not about this one game really but the game industry slowly training people to think this way. There is a difference between fighting against a problem and ignoring it, mainly being when you ignore a problem you become powerless. Sure you will likely play and enjoy Crash Racing just fine, I dont honestly think anyone who hates microtransactions will be effected. But Activision will make shit loads from idiots a problem gamblers and these tactics will keep getting worse and worse until one day it effects a game you were excited for or thought had potential. Why would any company miss out on free money, even Nintendo jumped on the paid online shit and no one thought they would. It's only 20 dollars now but it's trash and I can only seeing them charging more for future consoles. The reason people make a big deal about this shit is to try and slow or stop game industries from going completely bananas but to be honest its probably already too late to truly stop.

>America isn't that bad

Imagine being this delusional. Working class people don't have shit in the US while the wealthy hoard more and more. Hope you never have a medical emergency user, it will bakrupt you.

Yeah, it does suck. But I only really wanted this game for adventure mode and nitro tracks. I unlocked all the characters I wanted and don’t really care for skins. Sucks about the grind and Activisions jew-ery though.

Americans are fucking dumber than I thought. Enjoy your plutocracy you dumb fucks. Imagine actually defending a system like late stage capitalism where the working poor are exploited by the rich and they actually defend the rich for doing it.

Americans hate socialism because all you mongrels don't see yourselves for what you are, exploited cattle for the rich. Instead you all think maybe one day you'll be rich and everything will be okay.

i do want that, because CTR is fun enough on its own and cosmetic bullshit doesn't dampen the experience. have sex once in a while.

Has anyone gotten their Champion Kart yet

The scroll on the bottom says it'll be distributed tomorrow.

Just in time for the new grand prix with new nitro boosting karts.

I wonder how like it will be that the Championship kart will also be a nitro boosting kart.

Where's the proof that it's been implemented? It's just the same cup as the previous one.

I knew it was too good to be true, I wish I never supported this shit. They still need to fix the absurd load times on switch.

Kids with allergies getting exposed

I thought they got sued for this shit like two months ago?

Bro...

>He thinks getting sued means shit in the homeland of capitalism

Sometimes it really feels like this game's online is held together by tape and push pins.

That came up here recently. We just restricted certain foods.

is that crash just an edited banjo wojak?

This makes a lot of sense. As long as there aren't any characters locked behind a paywall I don't give a shit

It's almost funny how we reuse assets here. But unfortunately it's more sad than funny.

What if it wasn't. That would be fucked.

o-oh

don't get these threads banned again

Then nobody will use it. I think they will make it and paint job/wheels count as nitro boost lest they waste their time making it and people grinding to get it only to make it not worth using.

oxide in adventure mode is the easiest race against him, try the time trials. Once you get in front of him he's a fucking joke, because it's the computer controlling an AI, instead of a ghost of a competent player recording a time trial.

Crash is a kids franchise. The Grand Prix limited items, PLUS the shop reset every day, is all aimed at pressuring CHILDREN to fork over money.

I've seen 2 occasions where Oxide straight up chokes and falls down a pit for no reason

I'm guessing because of the Daily Bonuses and Weekend Bonuses right? Good chance they'll nerf it or increase the prices for items. I'm with you on not spending money, but there's no reason they won't make the grind harder.

This so much! Just like DMC V, I'd argue that the microtransactions are a GOOD thing.

Koala Kong should be a movie star like the "where are they now" credits from Crash 1 said. Make him cocky and a show off but still cool. May or may not include Schwarzenegger references

Komodo Moe should be a really tough and strict guy to constrast Joe's sleeziness and sillyness. He should think himself above the rest and have a commanding prescemce. He would also juggle swords and maybe keep the hissing.

Rilla Roo should just be Donkey Kong but with Funky Kong screams

KK was supposed to be a Stallone parody but got forgotten after Crash 1. Give him retarded lines and bam. Moe is just Joe 2.0 and Rilla Roo is monkey noises.

The only thing you've accomplished today regarding this industry is pissing other Crash fans with the retarded unhealthy discussion that is taking place on these threads since yesterday. That's it.

Every Crash Bandicoot character has to have severe cognitive dissonance. This is 100% consistent across every character.

We know Moe is just a bigger Joe with a deeper voice, Rilla Roo chimps out, and Koala Kong is a Stallone parody. Just gotta figure out what contradicts these things and also incorporate that in as well.

Gamers just sit there and take it like bitches.
What do you do, fight it with your voice? On platforms that anti-gamers control? Yeah, that won't work.
Or vote with your wallet, use the power of money? Money is where these shekel-grabbers are strongest.

This. Also, apparently (in my experience) racing on hard mode gives approximately the same amount of coins as online mode but without all the load time bullshit. So I think it's actually more effective. Just get good.

I agree, we need fascism so companies will be obligated to support the gamers rather than just supporting the bottom line.

RIP CTR Nitro Fueled.
June 23, 2019 - August 2, 2019.

No shit, faggot. We already know what the next GP is and the shitty microtransactions is bigger news. If you don't like us talking about it then fuck off.

Imagine people literally getting upset over the cost of cosmetic items which have zero impact on game balance.

hang yourself digital kike

>game balance
Imagine fixing this before asking for more money

>actishill lurking threads to post more smug reaction images about it " just being cosmetic"
Go to bed, you drone.

It has better tracks, music, and arguabley better characters (because besides Diddy they were all OC) in my opinion. However I think the controls and gameplay are much better in CTR. I don't like the CTR challenges, but I am grateful there are only three collectibles instead of ten like the Silver Coin Challenges. That one Windmill track's Silver Coin Challenge took me hours.

Hey look. The shill is back to post more condescending smug faces and make an ass of himself again.

We've been asking them to fix balance for weeks, you faggot shill.

Then fuck off from our threads and go play your old and dead ass game

You post this same shit in every thread you are in dude. Kill yourself.

>another generic Activision shill post
I see you didn't post any caps lock strawmen this time probably because people ignored you when you did the same thing earlier in this thread. Please go take a long walk off a short pier.

>Sonicfags
>Winning
>Their online is dead and game is completely soulless
No.

I know the suspicion is high because 'lmao anonymous', but this is literally the first thread I've posted in about this.

I just never understood how people could get upset about the cost of cosmetic items, they don't fucking matter. Devs will charge whatever retards will pay wot make their favourite character look pretty. Unlike real life your appearance in a game doesn't mean jack shit compared to how well you play.

Stay mad.

Okay this is epic

Probably will, certainly will be better than playing this shitty game that’s being defended by nostalgia blinded shills.

You 're not cooking anyone, faggot.

the irony

I don’t see the irony here, this game is gonna be milked like the soulless husk it is through micro transactions. While Diddy Kong Racing is a much better game in the first place and won’t be graced by such cancer.

>this is literally the first thread I've posted in about this
Sure, buddy. Sure.

The irony is you're shilling your shitty game.

>The irony is you're shilling your shitty game.
I’m not, I just agreed with the first person who brought it up and responded to the other ass ravaged user’s comment.

I'm willing to bet those fucks will decrease coin payouts as soon as this starts. Never doubt how greedy and manipulative these kikes can be.

Buzz off, Actishill. You're still not fooling anyone here except yourself.

Wtf i hate ctr now
Gonna tell activision on my subreddit to stop making money otherwise ill tell others to stop enyoing the game too :/

>same typing format
>same type of reaction images
>same shill defences
>"I'm not the same guy! Lol u mad"
The most pathetic thing you can do is deny obvious samefagging when everyone else can tell.

>make a comment about getting upset over cosmetic items costing money
>IT'S YOU, YOU'RE THE GUY SHILLING FROM THE OTHER THREADS

It's funny to me because I'm not, but you're so certain that I am, and I know you're wrong, but you will keep believing you're not.

What I don't get is that you're so fixed on thinking I'm some shill you're not offering any counter point for why you should be upset over micro-transactions for cosmetic items. That is literally the only reason I posted, and all I got were replies from people thinking I'm a shitposter from other threads.

>MTX bad
>paid online good

We did offer counterpoints already by listing other games who did the same shit and then escalated the microtransactions. But you're a shill, so of course you'd be denying this.

Lmao so I read an user got a refund and I tried to refund it also and holy fuck it worked. Fuck activision eat shit

>doubling down in denying samefaggotry
Keep going, faggot. It's good to have prime examples of how drones like you lack self-awareness.
Watch you post random strawmen greentext in between your replies next.

CEOs are not the only problem. Shareholders are up there.

I remember reading a statement from another user saying “Crash is in good hands”. And all I can do is laugh at the current events now, retards actually trusted Activision. Holy fuck I called this, nostalgia is one hell of a mental illness.

I went back and read a majority of the posts, tell me if I missed anything.

But the only arguments I saw were people 'predicting' they'll make it more difficult to unlock shit without paying real money which is literally speculation at this point and some psychological shit where retards get peer pressured into buying cosmetics so they don't feel left out. If the latter has some kind of impact on you then you deserved to get jewed for having no self control.

I don't care if literal children get brainwashed into buying shit, blame the shitty parents for using video games as a baby sitting tool.

Now all of the autist on Twitter are pulling a #RemoveMicrotransactionsinCTR #ISupportCTR movement. Like Activision gives a shit about that.

You'd have to purposefully ignore all these threads and ignore the past 9 years of microtransaction-included games to not know where this could be going. This is why people are rightfully calling you a desperate shill.

>which is literally speculation
Adding in microtransactions for wumpa coins was speculation too, faggot. And look what happened.

>literally speculation

People speculated there'd be payouts only for online when we saw that coin sever message in the E3 Facebook stream days before release. And they were right.
People speculated there was an everpresent format for microtransactions due to the poor wumpa coin payout for those unable to play on online modes. And they were right.

You're a retard that lacks (or just denies) basic foresight, but that doesn't mean everyone else is as stupid as you.

Top retard

friendly reminder that until he does a video publicly inquiring as to what happened to Zoe Quinn's Kickstarter game that he "worked on" that had since never materialized, nobody should ever watch a single second of this fat dumb man on camera.

I'm not defending it, I'm saying you're all retards for expecting otherwise.

>I don't care if literal children get brainwashed into buying shit
Only a soulless shill would have no remorse for the customers like this.

No one called me a shill. I just called out a dumbass who doesn't have an argument and thinks he can win by throwing out a buzzword from reddit.

Call of Duty and League of Legends has permanently buttfucked a large chunk of vidya forever with content locked behind grind/jewcoins

Can we have a thread that doesn't talk about microtransactions?

Its too late for that

Just give it a day or two for people to get excited over the new GP that starts tomorrow. This bullshit meta discussion will blow over soon and we can get back to talking about the game again

But i JUST bought it
It's not even out of the package yet

it's a fun game, don't worry about Yea Forums

>he thinks itll blow over soon
Many laughs

There's nothing to worry about yet
So far there aren't any plans to nerf coin payouts that force you to buy coins or a new unique currency
Doesn't mean the possibility isn't there though

you fags not talking about video games will get bored eventually

There's not really much to talk about with the GP.
>new track
>maybe balance changes
cosmetics and coin grind aren't gameplay discussion and it will unfortunately just perpetuate the microtransaction discussion instead of letting people play videogames.
buckle in, this is going to be bumpy for a while

>balance changes
Not gonna happen, enjoy your 6 warp orbs and 2 completely useless classes

I just want more quality of life features since organizing a lobby is like pulling teeth. Not like their servers are doing much anyway, a fucking database with plaintext entries, a MOTD, and a basic matchmaking service that only points people towards one another. Joining a lobby via a 6 digit code should come easily considering how little their server is actually involved in the process aside from phoning home after every match to increase your dickpoints.

How the fuck is talking sbout money transactions more fun than talking about new skins, new karts, new characters, new tracks and general gameplay discussion? It fucking isn't. It's fearmongering and blatant trolling to disrupt all video game discussion to cry about how big daddy activision touched you in bad places when you were a kid

Only character I have left to unlock, won’t show up in pitstop just costumes

When has that ever happened on Yea Forums

Expect a lot of drive-by shitposters who've never played a crash game in their lives and that CTR itself is older than.
This isn't about videogames or fun, it's about living a sad life where entertainment is derived from being called out for being a retard or ~merely pretending~
This future sucks.
People who actually play the game will still carry on carrying on, just don't be tempted to acknowledge the shitposters no matter how often they samefag to make it seem like getting on the insult-bandwagon is worth it.

If the Spyro GP is like this one were fucked out of buying him

Controversy is always fun

Ya think they'll add more characters after Emperor Velo and King Chicken? Could they add more stuff after December, and who?

>IT'S OK WHEN OVERWATCH DOES IT

What charcters would there be left to add?

the working poor are first and foremost exploited by the socialist leeches who sit on welfare (overwhelmingly single mothers), sucking out tax money the working class has to pay to fund their upper middle class lifestyles without work. what you're describing is karl marx's fantasy and delusion.

socialism is a parasitic system where the upper caste (liberals, progressives, welfare queens, aka the "bourgeois") directly exploits the work of the lower caste's (working tax payers, aka the "proletariat") hard work. as the nation's wealth disappears, the lower caste eventually revolts, upper caste gets guillotined/gunned down, a lenin/napoleon rises to power promising to restore things to order and it inevitably turns into a tyranny, because politicians always seek power, and the bar to becoming a messiah in a venesuela-tier dead nation is extremely low.

Happy I never bought it

>late stage capitalism
lmao you are fucking retarded go back to your useless socialist college kid

Obj_motherfucker, Bearminator, Zem's minions, Geary's minions, Evil Crash, Viscount, Yaya Panda, and probably a few other characters.

socialim is the biggest cancer humanity ever came up with, it causes untold amounts of pain and misery
They hate socialism because socialism destroys societies, not everyone lives in a fuckhuge city "exploited by the rich"
Fuck you you brainwashed retard.
