To me DKC2 felt like DKC2 one but with worse graphics and music and it had been turned into a shitty collectathon.

>DKC2 one

hurr, I meant DKC1.

>>3484956
With Mario games you don't really get a "evolution": you get a honest-to-God different thing that just happens to be good (often better). That is, they carry the basic principles, but they change enough so there's a fair bet that some of the elements you loved about a previous installment will be gone entirely in newer ones. It's a laudable gamble and a more than valid strategy, but it doesn't mean that polishing a formula keeping the core framework intact but trying new stuff mostly in terms of flow and level design is a "bad" alternative by itself.

DKC3 dun fuck'd tho 2bch

>>3484961
"DKC2 one" made me kek. But really, "collectathon" can only be used as a legit (but still arguable) negative description when the game doesn't allow you to advance without getting enough shit.

>>3484956
I always thought the DKC series got more attention for the impressive graphics at the time rather than the platforming mechanics.

>>3484961
I felt like the collecting wasn't necessary, and the stages and enemies felt more varied. Music is pretty good on both entries, but then you have the ghost pirate chase, the forest, stickerbrush symphony.

Not retro, but Ratchet and Clank had three consecutive games that were very different and a natural evolution upon the previous installment. Each of the three initial games are worth playing without any of them being inherently "better" than the others. It's pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

Then you didn't pay much attention to the games cause nowadays, fans are more impressed by the music (especially the first two games) and actually find the gameplay of the last two pretty good for a sidescroller. Some complain about the levels being "gimmicky" but then again, you could say the same about almost every sidescroller game from the SNES and Megadrive era (looking at you Sonic, Plok and Yoshi's Island).

You could not be stupid enough to think that about the DKC series, you just don't like them and are trying to troll.

DKC was awesome. Great platforming, graphics, controls, and sounds.

Hell it was better than some early release PS games.

>sidescroller

I think you'll find we refer to them as "Mobile Belt Scrollers" in these parts.

Go home, you're drunk.

Literally couldn't disagree more, DKC2 improves over the original in every single way. It's much, much more fun to play. DKC3 isn't terribly different from 2, granted, but your argument is still balls.

>DKC2 improves over the original in every single way.
It's still a patched version of 1, more polished but still the exact same formula. It's not a matter of sequels being better or worse.

>>3486145

What's with this dumb idea that sequels must always reinvent the wheel? Some sequels are about creating a completely new experience but some are about fixing and improving upon the original using the resources and knowledge acquired, both ways are fine.

DKC1>DKC3>DKC2

Dixie is too OP and fuck all the stupid minigames they went crazy with after 1. DKC3 is better balanced than DKC2 but still shitty compared to DKC.

Some lunatic asylum stuff going on here I see.

Over the years I've come to accept that people with a weird alternate taste and a bad case of nostalgia might prefer DKC. Even though they may be objectively wrong, it's their memories and concept of it. To call DKC2 "shitty" is just... it's not a realistic thing to say, nobody believes you really think that.

>>3486202
Both ways are fine as long as you don't want your IP to last, shit becomes tiring after a while and resorting to gimmicks don't fix anything. You have X followed by polished X followed by dusty old X with a coat of paint on to make it look new.

I always thought dkc3 was rare trying create a better 2d platformer collectathon. Which i feel they did great.

>>3486227
We sorry for different opinions then you kthnx :>

Getting AIDS would be worth fucking this kong's tight wet puss puss.

>Dixie is too OP

Obviously you are a noob and don't have a clue, go back and get good.

I used to think Diddy was hard mode when I was 7. But in fact, pro players prefer Diddy, he runs much faster and can do cartwheel jumps to clear long gaps, and is overall much more tighter and accurate. As an adult I play only with Diddy

The only problem with DKC1 was the ridiculously easy bosses.

Are you posting this for pure shitposting sake or because it gives you a boner

>>3486628
Reign in that autism, friend.

>>3488571
Because it makes my pepe happy.

>>3488575
So is both?
