Remove the logs from the game and it's automatically improved by 900%. I can breeze through everything up to and including Grandpa Plok but the asshole-tier log spawns still get me a few times per level.

I just started visiting /vr/ yesterday and I'm very pleased to see a Plok thread, kek.
I loved the soundtrack in this game, and the name always makes me laugh when I see it; it makes me think of this really loud, really stupid kid I knew in 2nd grade who pronounced it "plaque" (plak) for some reason. "HAY LETS PLAY PLAK". He'd just sit there and watch me play it, he got amped because he couldn't make it past the first few levels.
Anyways Plok kicks ass and anyone who doesn't like it is, dare I say, a nigger?

>I must perpetually shit on an entire nation to hide my own failablities
Miyamoto enjoyed the game. In fact, he said it was one of his favourites. I think he has a better grasp of what makes for a good game than some poorly informed idiot like you that was brought up on not exactly nuanced 100 word reviews. You're in no position to judge the quality of any other country's output. If you think a game is poor, then fine. Just don't bring up flags because you're in no position to sling shit, Captain Industry Crash.

Like all the others, this post will be deleted because Americans have double standards when it comes to freedom of speech.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 17 12:01:20 2023 No.10251897 >>10251872 the point stands.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 17 18:26:42 2023 No.10252642 Its hard as fuck. But probably doable if you try hard enough. I still enjoy playing the first two worlds of this game or so every now and then, I play until I get wrecked.

Unfathomably based. I'm an American and I approve this message. Well-stated, sir.
Poor Pickford bros. This game was even supposed to get picked up by Nintendo, but they decided to just steal some ideas from the game instead lmao. I don't think they even own the rights, so they could never have whipped up another Plok game for the 64 or something. Too bad.

Plok would have been great for a 5th gen era platformer. I was just thinking about that the other day.
It was kind of ahead of it's time in how it depicted an actual world with a sense of history, as opposed to just a series of stages. It would have adapted really well to the collectathon era.

kek this game creeped me out as a kid. I was like 7, I found it very confusing but figured it out. I'm still convinced these old games were awesome in part due to the technical limitations of the hardware. You had to be more creative when coming up with a premise, and could afford to take risks. Games didn't require millions of dollars to render shading on blades of grass, etc.
>>10252686
That's a great point, man. You could've strewn collectibles about everywhere, plus all of the hidden bonus stuff. I still think it's crazy that they did a black and white flashback sequence, great stuff lol.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 17 21:44:01 2023 No.10253174 >>10250406 Goddamn the soundtrack really was incredible. Just listen to the bass start to go apeshit in that track at ~0:50 lmao, plus it's over 5 minutes long.

Honestly it's not THAT bad, it's just that the difficulty """"""curve""""""" is completely bonkers. It's as easy as Mario World up until the fucking forest level that obscures your vision, and then the curve just spikes up to the ceiling. and then somehow jumps up AGAIN in the fucking Flea Pit. It was several tiers of difficulty crammed next to each other with nothing to smoothe it out a bit. Still a great game regardless.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 18 06:56:56 2023 No.10254307 >>10248197 it's definitely hard as fuck. i had it when i was younger and could never really get past the second boss (the inflatable dudes). i beat them a few times but didn't make it much further.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 18 07:20:51 2023 No.10254363 >>10249864 the logs aren't the problem really. Just like many games, you need to learn the patterns and after that it's not so bad. The bosses and the confusing later levels are way more tiresome.
