Next "comeback" is not planned before the release of DLC2.

I expected the other way around lol. Too bad they can't keep up with karts in time trials, online they're pretty good.

Basically this.

Except I haven't turned the Wii U on since Blake came over in June. Real talk, the only use I have for that is playing on my original MKW account with my original Wii save files.

Didn't like it in 7, don't like it here. Granted 8 is better than 7 in basically every way, but the TT scene just didn't suck me in much like Wii, or even 64. The game is fun, just not the time trials. Where as the game and the time trials are fun in Wii and 64.

I can totally understand your opinions, and I also had some weeks when I didn't want to play the game at all anymore, but that's the case for everygame at some point, at least for me.
But to be completely honest, I can totally enjoy TT'ing this game(since online sucks for me), I just like the mechanics of the game, the graphics and the tracks(well...some of them are shit but well...l). And even though you might think you'd just do the same thing over and over for hours without achieving anything, investing time always pays off, so it's fine if you do not focus only on that game in what you are doing ^^...at least thats my opinion.
Idk, maybe I'll still get to that point when I just quit, but it's not there yet, maybe because my times are still too bad or because I didn't play it long enough yet, idk

Competitively, this game is a flop. Undecided

Look at the activity histories of other games.

-MK7 was active til MK8 came out.
-MKW was active for a huge amount of time and died rather slowly (around 2010 activity changed hands and slowed down).
-MKDS was huge from 05-08 and has had a slower, yet steady, stream of activity since.
-MKDD may be a ghost town now but the size of the database tells a different story of the past.
-MKSC had an insanely huge non-PP player base, Japanese and North American, until about 2006.
-MK64 has never really been extremely low on activity, even 18.5 years after release.
-and SMK, after over 20 years, is still going strong.

What's the difference? Is MK8 just that 'one-too-many rehashes' game? Has Nintendo finally included enough crappy features to deter a fully-grown, long-term, competitive player base? Or, is this the start of an even newer generation of players, which will never see the glory of the classic MKs because they're too 'old'? Even dedicated MKW'ers explored games like MKSC and MK64...

20-30 years later... old games forgotten. Players page run by peole who, right now, aren't even born yet. No one that's on the PP now will be here. People will look at mk64 and say 'what game is this?' Itll be so sad but this probably will happen. New MK games will still be released with new features that us players page people can't even imagine, we'll be watching our kids/grandkids using invisibilty items and teleportation items. That's why everyone's gonna leave the players page, because its gonna get retarded all these new things coming out, the new peole won't know any better because it's all MK they know. I don't wanna see the future of this site...

That's pretty much what's bound to happen on every gaming community page, if - and only IF - it does not die earlier due to inactivity. I've been around the web for some time and have seen many gaming message boards and smaller sites die, because just no one cared anymore. The PP is the glorious exception and especially the MK64 community (from which the PP originated) is very strong.

It's difficult to tell the future of this site. I think Jonesy, Penev, shadow and their team won't let the page die easily, so we should not worry too much yet. But 30 years is a very long time, so who knows what will happen?
