You aren't special because you made something harder than it had to be for yourself

>>6627148
And we're done here.

>>6627148

you also don't have to collect the KONG tokens, but they're clearly meant to be a challenge for good players

the game even has a little icon of shame for beating a level as Dixie, forever branding you as a casual

>>6627164
see >>6627148
You might have had a point if you were talking about collecting the bonus tokens and such but no one cares about what character you're using and your attempts to prop up your ego while doing so is sad

>The fact that so many gamers still name Donkey Kong Country as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" video game ever only tells you how far video games still are from becoming a serious art. Video game developers have long recognized that the greatest video games of all times are The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros., which were not the most graphically advanced or acclaimed or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. I myself rank the highly controversial Super Mario U.S.A. over video games that were highly popular in arcades around Japan. Gamers are still blinded by good graphics. Donkey Kong Country had better graphics than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore it must have been the greatest. Music enthusiasts grow up listening to a lot of music of the past, film enthusiasts grow up watching a lot of films of the past. Gamers are often totally ignorant of the video games of the past, they barely know gameplay mechanics. No wonder they will think that Donkey Kong Country is anything worthy of being played.

based Shiggy only speaking with the truth

How making a character 0.1% faster makes a difference

Diddy feels better, any kid good at vidya could tell

>>6627480
I feel naked jumping without the ponytail twirl.

>>6627196
And yet he's responsible for the reprehensible fucking Mario 64 with shit controls and gameplay and pretty (at the time) graphics.
What a fucking sellout. Nintendo got jealous of Sony's push for 3d in as many games as possible and decided to switch Mario 64 from a 2d game with 3d graphics to fully 3d. Funny how they now tell the story of how it was always fully 3d when you can look in any fucking magazine at the time of early development and get the real story direct from Nintendo/Miyamoto.
Gaming died in the mid-90s and /vr/ should be pre-1995 only.

>>6627515
Can I get a quick rundown on 2D Mario 64?

>>6627196
DKC lives rent free in your head and I love it.

>>6627531
See the paths running through several of the levels, including all the boss levels which were the first to be developed? The camera would show a side view of these levels doing a few zooms and pans while everything was actually rendered in 3d, and you'd play using standard, usable, GOOD 2d controls.
Something like New Super Mario Bros but with a bit more going on.
But no, we got LOL ENJOY YOUR SHIT CONTROLS AND CAMERA BECAUSE SONY GOADED US INTO FUCKING SHIT 3D

>>6627196
reminder that this is an adaptation of a /mu/ copypasta about the beatles referencing on a fake quote from a book written by hack fraud boomer liar Steven L Kent where he cites a magazine interview that has nothing resembling the quote in it.

>>6627534
It's a joy to read /vr/ and guess which of the other 5 fuckers are larping right now

Zoom zoooooom reeeee

It's clearly one of those "Every copy of Mario 64 is personalized"-tier schizo posts

>Mario 64 has bad controls
Imagine being this bad at video games.

>>6627551
Reminder that this is a literal cope from a seething lil' zoomzoom who was born at least half-a-decade after the interview took place.

fake miyamoto was right about DKC, but wrong about DKC2

>>6627164

>>6627136
Cope and seethe

>>6627483
I feel naked without the princess in Mario 2 anon

>>6627572
Man...

>>6627136
the game was made for dixie. you try going through the wind level without her

>DKC2 with a diddy only run

Damn that would be tough

>>6627721
It is not possible. You need to float to half of the shit. I mean just passing stages is, beating bosses is. But 102% is not.

>>6627721
Not so much, you have mid-air jump and DKC2 is a lot better for precision platforming than DKC1, so aiming for the heads of foes are easier

I remember always playing with Diddy, and seeing if at any point I HAD to change for Dixie. If you know what you're doing, you totally can.

I THINK the hardest challenge is the last stage, and bonus. (Brown Stickerbursh)
Reaching the bonus and doind it all with Diddy is EXTREMELY rewarding.

Anyone who has a save, try this. If you can, you just did the equivalent of a Diddy run.

>>6627737
So do you purposefully die if you lose diddy with dixie still available?

I think Dixie is one cool chick.

>>6627753
ok monkey fucker

>>6627743
DKC2 was my childhood game, and teen game with lots of time and save states or wathever, so I remember making these kind of self challenges before internet-runs was a thing.

I don't guarantee that you can do 102% on a Diddy only, but if you master his mid-air jump, you can totally reach those bonuses that are so-far-away

>>6627756
Take it back nerd.

>>6627762
You can't do a 102% with diddy only, there is like 2 or 3 DKC coins were you absolutely need to float.

>>6627762
I dont care about a 102 run. I just want to test if I can beat the game with just Diddy.

>>6627781
The answer is yes then.

Animal antics is a transformation gimmick level. Your kong doesn't matter

>>6627790
Wait nevermind. Animal antics is a jungle level.
Screech's sprint is the final bramble level
Still an animal buddy level though

>>6627792
>>6627790
It doesn't matter, I already found a guy that made a speedrun no damage
So you can, just git gud

>>6627706
Get on my level

>>6627792
The bird race is halfway through. This halfway is pure-gold Diddy-only run challenge. Bonus included (it's a pitfall). Then you get to the mid-barrel

>>6627798
No thanks, I don't care about meme speed runs
I prefer to enjoy the game

>>6627804

I doubt somebody who played nearly 30 hours of DKC2 didn't enjoy it.

>bee hive swamp pirate carnival motherfucker

DKC2 is the shit

>>6627823
DKC2 is not hard, you fucking pleb
It is one of the easiest games to exist

>>6627821
Oh, I have definitely played more than thirty hours.

>>6627829
What console is that?

>>6627826
Ok, gimme some hard and not bullshity games then
Bullshit to me is like, you have to memorize the stage to git gud, because of unpredictable stage hazards
Or you have 3 lives and need to replay the first stages over and over

>>6627832
>Ok give me some hard and not bullshitty games then
shoot em ups are pretty not bullshitty, anyway probably Alien vs predator cps 2 fixes your quota
Joe and Mac returns and Tumblepop, also aren't "bullshitty" yet still hard

>>6627831
New 3ds xl
They have snes vc

>>6627837
>3ds
I have never liked that zoomer console.

>>6627840
Why even ask?

>>6627852
Cause it didn't seem familiar.

>>6627136
Dixie was perfect for learning the game. Diddy Was for mastering the game, However I would always switch to Dixie to beat the level so I could hear her shred on her guitar.

I just liked to chuck the dumb bitch and beat off while I watched her cry.

>>6628271
ok faggot

>>6628271
Based as fuck.

>>6628271
dont ever say those things about my girlfriend again

>>6627164
I like that brand of shame. That’s funny I never thought of it that way. Teasing friends with it but can’t you just swap the two at the end?

>>6627798
Wow not bad anon. You improved a lot

>>6627196
Legit still enjoy all the DKC games more than the Mario ones, even after all these years. Suck it, Shiggy, go back to sucking off Toads.

>>6628396
Yes you can, so it is mostly pointless. Anyway, in stages where you turn into an animal friend, it is also pointless to "feel shame". you should feel more shame for being a fucking neetso playing DKC at your motherfucking 30's instead of worrying if you beat a stage with dixie or diddy.

>>6627136
Dixie is the coomer's choice character. No pants, cute feet, ponytail, she's got it all.

>>6627136
dixie cute

>>6628532
Literally 0 sex appeal, unless you an unironic pe_do

fuck off

>>6627537
Like Klonoa?

>>6628573
For me it’s Madeleine, the superior Rare girl (who never was ;_;).

I just can’t into Kongs that way, and in fact I find it incredibly disturbing what Ninty did to Tiny after DK64...

>Due to the time-consuming nature of the modeling process, Diddy's model was used as the base for Dixie; the ponytail was then added, the clothes were changed, and his features were made more feminine

Do you think it doesn't???

Same goes for Peach and Luigi in SMB2, real men play as Toad.

You can beat the first three areas in 21 minutes.

>>6627731
Hmm I'm be curious. I feel like you could probably 102% with Diddy in front the whole time, if team ups are allowed. I can't really think of anything you couldn't get off the top of my head (keep in mind DK Koins dont count for 102%, although I feel like you could get all 40 anyway)

>>6631913
>not a sub 13 w3

>>6631656
To he honest, most of those hours came within the span of a few months.
I played my first playthrough and stopped for a long time. That's the first file.
Eventually I came back and started replaying the game a lot, I rotate the second and third files, deleting the one with a longer completion time.

Dkc2 is a very fun game for me to spend an afternoon or two, going for 102% completion.

>>6627164
what the hell is going on with that filter? are you retarded?
