Speed runners are pure cancer on 2 fronts.

They don't care about games. They care about records. Imagine spending hours of your life just replaying the same game every day so you can do it 1 second faster. Then when you do you feel like you achieved something. So for 2 days you feel good about yourself... then it's back to the grind. You never get any real skills, no real talent, no real achievements but you get the cummies. How fucked in the head do you think that person is?

Then add social media and the internet. Being a high tier speedrunner is like having big tits on instagram. When you walk into a room everyone lookes, everyone donates to you just because you're playing a video game. 10,000 people turn out to watch you play and companies constantly offer you free shit because you have some followers. That builds an ego, you think you're hot shit..

You basically have a community of complete fuck ups with huge egos for playing games.

Consider Mario Odyessy's release. Day 1 there were speedruns of it. People finished the game then immediately started to speedrun it. There was no appreciation for a good game. There was no time to let it settle and see how you felt about it in the morning. It was an immediate OH SHIT I NEED THE RECORD! I WANT THE FAME! GO GO GO GO GO GO GO! Like a fat woman buying Twinkies on black Friday.

The older days of speed running where it was just bros seeing how fast they could finish Doom levels are gone. Now it's pure cancer and only growing as an industry. It's E sports where the only person you have to compete with is another loser who remembers Crash bandicoot had a GBA game

DK64 failed as a Donkey Kong Country successor and as a collectathon. I will say it's marginally more enjoyable than Banjo-Tooie but only because the backtracking is slightly less painful, not because it isn't painful at all.

The DKCs were finest 2d/3d art developped by Rare, ahead of its time, but with a couple of years of SNES existence.

No one would play an game over and over again and not care about videogames at the same time.

Speedrunning has a competitive scenario. The main goal of competitive scenarios is to win.

For a lot of people the collectathon style of game was probably already a tired concept by the time it came out and is especially dead now. I enjoyed it a lot when it came out and had a mostly pleasant time replaying it recently on wii u. Personally I found that the levels were pretty much laid out to minimize the need to backtrack. Different areas were intended for different kongs in the levels so you could run through as one kong, following your bananas, and keep note of where things split off for other kongs. Angry Aztec was pretty bad about this though.

The atmosphere is A+. Boss fights were terrifying and the game isn't a muddy mess of tetures.

Almost everything about this post is garbage and that anybody could think this is a good post only shows how little they know about the speedrunning scene. An overwhelming majority of speedrunners including the high tier ones are very low on the popularity scale with many top runners struggling to maintain or even hit a hundred viewers. People choose what to run based on what they like and since many like games that other people may not care about, like it in the way they do, or even know they exist which makes it even harder for them to get noticed. Some only like certain aspects of speedrunning (routing, finding tricks, breaking the game, etc).

I really like B&K but I personally think DK64 is a mistake. They’ve turned DK childish, I didn’t liked the gameplay, I didn’t liked new Kongs, I didn’t liked the fact you have to do the same shit 5 times and they’ve killed the grandma Kong.

The worst about it is to think that this game came after DK country’s serie, one of the most beautiful platformer ever made, with also the best OST ever.
The 3D on N64 was bad in that time, and none musics were memorable in that game, I’m not even sure that the N64 could replicate the sound from snes.

Only one music is stuck in your head: the fucking DK rap... Is that possible to insult DKC even more?

The most sad thing is that DK has been already raped in France. I don’t know how but french TV got the right to make a show about those characters called DKTB, giving them voice. It was based on those awful 3D movies you have probably already saw. Most of french children of that time knew DK not by the masterpiece that was DKC but by a shitty show, raped with french culture (and when I say culture i mean shitty artists that TV force you to watch all the day). DK64 came after all this garbage and wasn’t fun and totally inferior to DKC. I consider that game as an insult that symbolized every of those TV shit i’ve saw in the past.
