Hey guys I've been playing MNR recently it isn't mine but I'm borrowing it from a friend and basically I've been playing and I'm on the verge of buying this decent kart racer, but here are my issues with the game EXTREMELY LONG loading times(I haven't actually played a game that took this long to load, but I hear it's being patched soon), I keep getting disconnected from the server, game is pretty laggy in the ModSpot unless u just leave ur car and let everything load, and the cars still feel a little weird but I'm adjusting. Theres a lot of things I like about the game like avatar mods ones that look like power rangers AMAZE ME :lol: don't I feel silly but I loved the show back in the day, the community still seems friendly even with kids, less MW2 kids around, it has a SUPER easy track creator and I love making super long drift climb maps. Theres the positives and the negatives I don't know if I should buy the game or not I've probably downloaded 1-2GB of content from other players but should I get the game or not? I know some of you are going to tell me to decide by myself but there might be more convincing arguments about it, I could decide myself but I don't want to puting my mone down the drain for something stupid, sorry for the super long post but I haven't been posting too often this week

Whenever people set expectations more than what a game exactly is,it usually ends in them bin disapointed but since you have a second run and is ready to accept it for what it is,i think youhave returned to the human community

Loading times arent that bad imo. I mean once you get to ModSpot. I would like it faster but it doesnt bother me that much.

Was very disappointed during the first hours, as I read the AI is not forgiving, sending you lots of weapons during the final turn and you lose 4-5 places each time you're hit. I know I'm bad at racers and thought it's a fun game so it won't be hard ...

Add to that the long loading times, and the track creation where you'll look for some options for ages (still don't know how to vut the track to jump over, would like to populate with more control, no idea how to put weapons bubbles ...), I found how to use the tracks you've downloaded, but not the karts or pilots ...

After some time I had fun, mainly seeing how creative people are.

I'll probably wait until the patch comes out that fixes the loading and then I'll pick it up :)

The only problems with Modnation Racers for me is rarely finding an XP race it takes ages, loading at the start is the worst part and the servers need fixing the amount of times I've been disconnected when I've won a race is annoying me. As soon as these problems are fixed I will be happy even more if Sony and United Front Games remove the stupid region block on the servers.

I plan on buying MNR very soon. Probably after the next patch is released (will supposedly lower load times).

Im thinking about getting rid of my copy of MNR. If it weren't for my wife wanting to play it i probably would.

Im a big fan of racing, especially kart games, but this game is all flash. Its fun to see other peoples creations and make your own but thats short lived imo. The track creator is neat and its awesome that many things are completed automatically, but i built a great track in under 5 mins. Doesn't leave me with the same sense of accomplishment i had with Little Big Planet by far.

The racing is highly generic and messing up/wrecking is way to unforgiving. Also the level 3 weapons are just too much. They nearly will wipe out the entire racers or in the case of the turbo it will warp you to nearly the front of the racers in an instant.

Ive won quite a few online races and those are enjoyable, but it doesn't weight out the problems i mentioned.

Maybe im just expecting too much of the game, but then again maybe its just as shallow as it seems. Ill just have to do like you did and give it a second chance i guess, but whats new if ive already created a track, racer, kart, and raced online? Hot lap is a nice feature at least.
