It's my favorite game but I've seen more people disliking it these years because of the gimmicks, the comedy and controls (which i never had an issue with).
It's not like Banjo or Donkey where there's a focus on exploration and collecting things, it's more of a linear platformer with tons of gimmicks and playstyles depending on what place you reach, the 2nd half of the game is like a pseudo TPS.
If you like the humor you might enjoy it more.

It's really good (better than DK64) and the versatility of the worlds helps to avoid monotony. There are some parts that can be a nuisance (the vampire stage for example), but overall it's fun. The humor may or may not be of your liking. Also play the multiplayer, it's one of the best in the N64 library.

Sort of but not really. You do collect wads of money but they're usually just in your way at the end of a section. It's more of a variety platformer where each section of the game has a different gimmick. It's fully voice acted with properly 3D animated lip syncing which is very impressive for an N64 game (graphics are generally impressive too)
It's a good game but my favorite N64 Rareware game will always be Perfect Dark though

It’s not only the best game in terms of pure gameplay, multiplayer and variety, it is also quite literally the most technically impressive game on the entire N64, using a 64mb cart and every coding trick in the book. It probably has an hours worth of fully voiced in-engine animated cutscenes (WITH lip syncing). It also has dynamic lighting, real time shadows, real time reflections and more.
>>10394457
You are so full of shit. Conker LITERALLY invented Resident Evil 4. ‘Spooky’ chapter is literally an over the shoulder third person shooter with a laser sight as your only reticle to shoot zombies. Capcom (potentially) copied this 1:1 for RE4, one of the best selling games of all time. That’s how good Conker is.
>>10394463
It isn’t a collectathon at all. It makes fun of them. There is literally one thing you collect in the game which is money. It’s practically not missable.

Conker is my favorite game ever, of all time. I had it when it was brand new and it still impresses me to this day. I sincerely believe it is one of the greatest video games ever made.

Play the fucking game, you’ll love it.

I will never in a million years understand the people who say "it aged, just watch it on youtube", etc. The game is insanely good. I replayed it a few months ago. I replayed it last year. I replayed it the year before. Every single time has been a blast. Conker is a great game in basically every sense. The technology and presentation is just wonderful. The gameplay is varied and fun. Don't go into this game expecting the successor to Banjo-Kazooie. In reality, it's the successor to Battletoad: difficult, fun gameplay, with lots of variety. It's not really a "collectathon" in a mundane sense, but a series of skill-based obstacles that can be done in a semi-non-linear way. The game is a gem, and it's great every time. If you dislike this game, perhaps you should just consider that you don't like games very much.

That’s such small part of the game and it can be hard to deliver the cheese before it jumps out of your hand. You have to deliver it perfectly three times in a row. The low brow humor is part of the charm, and works effectively with the super cute rare style. If Duke Nukem can get praise for it, why can’t Conker?

>>10394453
It's a game that's style over substance, but I don't mean that in the really negative way it sounds. A game like Mario 64, for example, is about tight gameplay. You move Mario and use him to overcome obstacles and that's the point of the game. What little writing there is in it is just to contextualise the obstacles, to contrive a reason for Mario to be doing what he's doing. That's substance over style.
Conker is about the writing, and the point of the game is to get to the next cutscene, and that's what Chris Seavor himself has said. That doesn't mean there's no gameplay, there's actually a lot. But not focussing on exploring just one type (like Mario's platforming) allows them to keep the experience fresh. One way is not better than the other, and it doesn't mean writing and gameplay are mutually exclusive, it just depends on what you want in your game. I love Conker, but I understand why people don't.

>> No.10394586

>>10394579
I never once thought this. In my opinion Conker is a marriage of style and substance. It’s extremely mechanically sound with tight controls for just about everything you do with him.

Everything you do to get to the best cutscene is FUN. Whether you’re hopping on a pitchfork, flying as a bat, hover boarding on lava or in a WW2 third person shooter, everything is perfect and seamless.

Poor Conker is legitimately the most underrated game ever. Chris Seavor is a genius.

Nah man, you missed my point. Maybe style over substance wasn't the right way to put it. The focus is on the presentation moreso than exploring every facet of a single gameplay style. That's why there are so many different gameplay styles in the game, as a vehicle for the story they want to tell in that moment. You turn into a bat and you kill zombies because they wanted you to have fun doing those things in the haunted level they wrote a bunch of jokes for. Mario 64 wrote in a haunted level because it would present interesting obstacles for Mario to jump through. It's not one or the other, they just focus on opposite ends of the spectrum.

It's my favorite Raareware game by far. It's fucking hilarious and fun to play. Of course, I was playing it at a time where I had friends constantly over, and we all watch the single player game together while getting high.

I've just finished it. Conker is almost nothing like Banjo or Donkey Kong. It's actually a linear set of chapters accessed from a hub world.

I'll be honest here: the back end of the game really sucks. It's not rushed, it's like they forgot what a game actually is, and made a bunch of disjointed situations - and you jump from one to the other, with almost no reasoning besides it's cool. The first time I became stuck was in the Rock Solid club, when you need to aim your jet at the rock dudes. You already did this way before (against the flame demons), but the game never bothered to tell you that you needed to hold Z for the jet to go farther. From those last stages, Uga Buga and Spooky really overstay their welcome - Uga Buga is probably the longest stage in the game, and it's one crap situation after the other. I actually enjoyed the tonal shift during It's War!. Before this stage, Conker was always annoying or having fun at the expense of the natives, but this time he feels really desperate, he needs to get out of this situation and he won't even spare a joke. Probably the whole thing traumatized him.

Well, that's it for me. Took me 11 hours. The times I was stuck:
- Rock Solid
- when you get the shotgun (the game doesn't bother telling you how to aim the thing)
- Three keys. It's a really long stretch of gameplay, boring to the end. But I guess that was the idea - to be annoying

Lastly, I disagree about the controls being tight. You'll see how bad they are in It's War!, specially when you need to use the bazooka or the turret, and the whole game starts to render at 3fps (not a joke). Do you aim, do you fire, or do you stop and wait for the game to stop crapping itself? Who knows!

I ended up enjoying the experience though, but it's one of those "That part" kind of games, except Conker has a lot of "That part".

I don't like the repetitive fetch quests, or situations where the game expects you to find "the right way" to do something, even if it already told you what were you supposed to do. The biggest example is the fight against the bull. The guy at the counter told you to get a cow to shit down the drain, but you actually have to get THREE. And not all together, you have to kill one, then another, and then the third. I'm pretty sure most people got the first cow over the drain and left the arena - just to see nothing had changed.
Another one is when you're getting the tickly bees to pollinate the flower. Most people would get stuck because they remember that you access the bucket up there through the barn, but in actuality, if you enter any other area, all the bees you already got are void, and worse - no other bees will follow you, unless you go back and get the first bunch of bees again.

About the humor, I think it started pretty fresh, but the jokes get really stale after halfway through (most people I know said the game gets worse after the first half), and by the end there are just movie parodies, no jokes at all. One example of humor I liked was near the beginning, when the british bugs looked at Conker and said "I reckon we should get down there and kick the shit out of him." I like that kind of mean-spirited humor. It's just that it dwindles down as you progress, in exchange for referential humor.

Nothing could be worse than DK64's mini-games. A bunch of Conker's mini-games are just annoying, meaning you'll die a few times before getting the hang of them. People didn't comment on this already, but the N64 didn't have a reticle for aiming (except with the shotgun and submachineguns), and that made a few sections pretty bad. What happens is this: in some parts, you'll have to dodge an enemy, run towards a big button on the ground, activate it, and then you need to aim and fire on the enemy before it attacks you again (if you activated the button with your back turned, tough luck). Still, they're not completely crap. Just annoying.

It isn’t a movie game and people calling it that are trolling. It does have a lot of cutscenes, and they are significant, but hardly distracting an only a fraction of the game. They are all in engine and flow perfectly (I remind you all, all of this is done on a 64mb cart, let that sink in).

Normalfags today want actual moviegames. Conker is just the most narratively driven platformer ever made and devs could learn how to marry those concepts instead of doing one or the other, I agree.

Picrel shows real time reflections. When the cutscene is over, you literally take control of the cutscene seamlessly. Genius and perfectly executed, especially in 2001, especially on a cart game, especially on fifth gen. What a game.

It's been twenty or so years, but my memories of it was that it was really hard and time consuming, and any time I got through a roadblock, I either lucked out, found a cheese strategy, or had to memorize exactly what was coming. The war section was really brutal. When I finally beat it, I didn't feel like I did well, I feel like I just brute force endured it.
And the spooky part felt like it took forever. I don't know if there were puzzles or the area was too big and samey.
I didn't feel like I was "playing" I felt like I was stumbling through a chore.
And as for the humor, Great Mighty Poo is indicative, but I also didn't like Conker's voice, or most of the voice acting. There's people in this world who have a feel for what's funny, and can make something funny, and then there's people who don't know what's funny, and become less funny the harder they try.

Yeah, I had the same exact experience as you. There was one right behind me at the start. You don't need to actually hit the one furthest to the right (near the top) from your starting point; you'll have another chance. I don't know if it was too much work, but the water having sparks doesn't actually mean the wires are touching it - once you complete the puzzle, the water will still have sparks on it, and you can even swim down there without any repercussions.
Try to see if there's one way down there - I think that's it. Of course, there's no hidden wires or anything. You can see them all from the context sensitive pads.

One thing that helps in the XBOX version (Live & Reloaded) is that those sections now have aiming crosshairs, but don't be discouraged - keep playing the original. IIRC, at least one section is way harder in the XBOX version, the tank part near the end of It's War! They've fucked up the gameplay there.

>> No.10398249

It's easily the weakest. It's kind of a bad platformer, in ways that none of others are. Conker feels sluggish, and never particularly good to control.
What's good about it is the sense of variety, and the fact that you're always doing some new activity, but only about half of those are ever fun. It's very all over the place as a game.

It is different to them but if you liked them you will probably like it. A lot of the game is you *having* to watch, sometimes quite long, cut scenes, which gets quite boring. The game play can be good in some sections and utterly awful in others. There are a few points in the game you'll die a lot.

I'd say if you can get it free like on xbox game pass probably go for it, but just bear in mind it's more of a movie game than a strict platformer or Shooter

It’s not the only killer instinct reference either. That’s the game he plays on his gameboy when you idle.

Also, someone here once posted a gif of the other idle animation where Conker kicks a soda can. If you do it near water, he kicks the can at a wall, it will bounce off the wall, and plop into the water causing a ripple as it slowly sinks to the bottom.

The multiplayer even reeks of good British development. If it had gotten any attention, it's literally the sort of thing people would love now. The multiplayer? Common you all know it.

Teddys vs. Squirrels is something anybody who played that game wishes was a thing now.

They only censored stuff like Fucker, Motherfucker, Asshole and stuff like that in the original.
In the remake, they've censored "shit", which makes The Great Mighty Poo song really an underwhelming experience. Also the Multiplayer starts censored for some reason (you can uncensor it after completing the game).

It feels really like a very late (in development) attempt at censorship for some reason. People already said all about the swear words, but there are other things:
- removed the blood splatters, but kept the gore (dismemberment, etc)
- but now the bull's horns have blood on them (????)
- Marvin's stitches in the ending cutscene have a more "realistic" feel to them
- Berri's buttflaps are more visible

I dunno, I think it's aged badly to be honest. Games now have long cut scenes cos they're developing plot or showing off graphics: conker is more like a semi-interactive movie, it's... I honestly don't know how to describe it. It is bssicslly unique.

>>10398249

>>10397892
Agreed. I played it when it came out and I recently re played on game pass. I have to say I utterly hated the laser grid bit in war. The final boss also had me seriously pissed off.

>>10396557
This. People keep saying the references are dated. I'm like, "huh?" The movie references are mostly classics. Terminator was already 15 years ago when it came out. Jaws and Clockwork Orange were like 25 years. These are just classic cinema references, not zeitgeisty ones. The only one like that is kind of Saving Private Ryan and Matrix, but they're both basically in the classic cinema tier now anyway

isn't that a remake though which was made by people who don't get the original jokes and don't know to recreate them? I booted up a comparison and within 5 seconds closed the tab because in the original game's first cutscene conker is doing the kubrick stare in close up the same as alex in clockwork orange's opening, with similar voice over, and in the remake he's just sitting in a chair. Like they didn't even recognize that it was a very pointed reference to a movie, they just never saw clockwork orange i guess. Fucking was released with nobody caring though

Lol @ stfu Adon but Conker’s in-engine cutscenes blow Turok 2 out of the water.

I believe that overcoming limitation, as in maximizing the confines of your medium, is the true catalyst for worthwhile art, so I never mind, especially back then.

In terms of gameplay, Conker isn't all that good. It was a meme game made mostly for the shock humour of a funny cartoon mascot from the THE 'mascot platformer' dev running around cursing and getting drunk. The actual good Rareware N64 gameplay is Banjo, it's a refined version of DK64.

Irreverent cynical satire is the pinnacle of 90s comedy. It's cut from the same cloth as Beavis & Butthead, Ren & Stimpy, Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy.

Some the humor is actually clever too.
For example, in the “War” chapter, the squirrel army is American with American accents, therefore they are grey squirrels as opposed to British Conker, who is red.

>> No.10401474

That might be more of a reference to the controversy of the invasive american grey squirrel in the UK, which was a big talking point in the late 90s because they're displacing native red squirrels.

N64 is a multiplayer console. The singleplayer campaigns of any game are just setpiece movie practice montages to distract from the meat of the game. Multiplayer is where you could instantly tell if you got your money's worth, and rare always delivered. There's even fucking racing

I always thought it was Rare sticking the middle finger game to Nintendo. Like the two where always at odds with each other but Conker's was the massive "fuck you." Anyway, I liked Reloaded. I felt like it fixed a lot of faults in the first one, plus I loved the multiplayer. Would play hours of that then when there was no one left I would play hours with bots. Like holy shit if Rare made a furry Battlefield and I am honestly saddened that it didn't get more love.

There is nothing wrong with the story or humor of Conker. Parodying or lampooning popular things of the time is not something newly invented in the 90's. It's something that's always been around, in every single era, in every single medium. I hate to sound cliche like that, but all the people who are dismissive are a thousand times worse. But away the boring "it's dated" comments, they add nothing.
