There seems to be distinct coding that allows the team getting beat up to catch up by ramping up their damage. When I am in a match where my team is completely dominating, all of a sudden there are one hit kills and insane amounts of damage coming from the other team. Matchmaking is bad too. It's like I get punished by being a good player and paired with noobs.
It would be nice to bring the businesses from your vacation island over to your main island. I spent a lot of time on the design and no friends can visit and check it out. Also, it would be nice to have more interaction with your stuff. I can't ride the ferris wheel? Come on!
I am really enjoying Sunbreak and Curious crafting really starts to take off once you get the monsters past level 51, but I would like to see a reduction in the grind. Some of these afflicted monsters can be a total grind fest. Getting particular items takes a very long time. It would be nice if the curious items shop had more variety and coins were easier to come by.
The matchmaking is baffling to me. I tried to be a good teammate, I always led my team in points (1300 or so) and always lost. I think at one point I dropped 7 in a row, and just about every single time I was the top points player, I lost. I was always paired with players who had rollers and never fought back. I would follow teammates to defend them, but that never worked. There is a severe discrepancy between noobs and highly skilled players, and I never seemed to be paired with skilled players. I felt like a high scoring player on a lottery team. When I finally did get with a group that played great together, I got a disconnect error and the team was disbanded.
I am not sure what the solution is here, but it feels like top players are constantly paired with noobs, and it simply isn't fun when that happens. You can just tell when you are playing against a team on mics, they are well organized and tactically superior.
The game should pair good players with other good players, and have a G league for the noobs to square off. I never get frustrated with games, and found myself frustrated during the entirety of splatfest due to wonky matchmaking.
Matchmaking is completely broken in this game. I'll get a 1300 score with a decent splat count and my reward is being paired with noobs and losing 7 in a row. When I do get a good team, it gets disbanded due to a connection error. There are elite players working as a team on mics and its obvious. Some matches you can't even leave your home base. This game is broken and I regret buying it.
Nintendo has a absolute smash on their hands. Mario Kart 8 continues to exceed sales expectations, and Nintendo gave us a love letter to an already great game. I think Mario Kart 9 needs to be different. It would be cool to have a formula 1 style of racing. Long races through the countryside, pit stops, drifting through the countryside, Le Mans endurance style. Mario Kart 8 deluxe perfected the style, so I am not sure making the same game again with a "9" on it would be necessary.
I thoroughly enjoyed wave 2 and it has made the overall Mario Kart 8 experience even better. 6 out of 10 is harsh. I get it, reviews are subjective, and for me, this track pack is amazing.

The matchmaking in Splatoon 3 is fundamentally broken.

Le Mans endurance Mario Kart would he fantastic!
