>sales equals game quality
Sales equals marketing budget, gameplay equals game quality. Sonic has far more depth to its game mechanics beyond secret routes, arguably the only interesting thing about the gameplay in DKC. I do like making DK repeatedly enter his empty banana horde like he has Alzheimer's though

The irony is palpable

Any sprite or background that uses a 2D capture of a 3D object is called pre-rendered. I'm pretty sure the OoT towns would use a pre rendered skybox to allow for 360 degree rotation.

You're clearly not his "mate", then. That is, if this "mate" even exists.

You're going to live your whole life thinking sentimentality is for faggots, only to realise in your senility that you have nothing to look back on, the cruel irony being that you fucked yourself.

DK64 is only acceptable in the context of being a Nintendo 64 game from 20+ years ago. Compared to the N64 library? Yeah, I could see it being in someone's top 15 games from that system. Was the N64 a good system? Sure, it had lots of charm and was a 1st gen 3D console, even though it only had about 20 games worth playing. However is DK64 a top 15 game of the whole generation including PS1 and PC? No. Is DK64 even a top greatest game ever made? I don't think so. DK64 is an above-average footnote with charm from that era, but it isn't anything to write home about, unless you really love the aesthetics. DK64 was not a worthy sequel DKC1/2/3 in the same way that Mario 64 was to the earlier games. DK64 is full of bloat and unappealing levels, the complete opposite of what DKC was. Mario 64 got it right, and had well-made levels and sleek controls. This is the real bottom line. Because games like DKC and Mario 64 actually are among the best titles ever made. DK64 is not.

Game size of Sonic 3 & Knuckles (two games): 4MB
Game size of Donkey Kong Country 1 (one game): 4MB

Why is Sega so fucking cheap?
