its just revisionist history from people who weren'tthere, its like saying sonic was always bad because they don't like the current sonic game, sega cd was bad because the first console they played was ps1 but for the time the fmv on sega cd was very impressive, a game made by rare was a guarantee that it would be a game that would score 90.% On N64 they were really good at the start with blast corps but mickeys speedway was a let down and games after that became hit or miss and eventually they were no longer in the top 10 of developers.

No shit. Compare the platforming and control quality to Mario World and you'll see DKC is a laggy, imprecise pile of shit that was only successful because of its OMGGRAFIX LOOK GUYS IT'S 3D BECAUSE WE MADE SPRITES WITH 3D MODELING SOFTWARE clusterfuck viral marketing and paid off reviewers.

You loved it because you were hyped into believing it was good. When you actually pay attention and compare it to something even of decent quality, you'll see how god fucking awful the game really is.

It's pathetic that gamers have been so brainwashed by companies to "enjoy" bad games.

And no, this isn't someone looking back on something he wasn't there for. I was an adult and owned both the SNES and Genesis when DKC came out. Yes, that makes me an oldfag, but yes, that gives me a proper perspective on gaming. DKC was bad then and it's bad now. It was viral marketed, overhyped garbage that was created to do EXACTLY what it's done to you: make you think that an overblown, graphically pretty (at the time, anyway) game with half-assed gameplay and controls is good.

I keep telling you guys, you are arguing with a single psychopath... people think I'm kidding.

How could it be laggy? I don't understand. It was never considered to be a graphics-based game though yes it did have amazing graphics as everyone based in reality agrees.

I suggest people stop replying to him, just because his mom accidentally gave him a huge knock to the head when he was little, I've had enough of this horseshit to last me a lifetime.

Two of your links are just someone random shitposting the same thread as we have here and all of the responses are complaining about what a shitposter the thread starter is. The other link is from Vice who are known to post contrarian views for publicity.

Sure there are people who don't like DKC. Every great game out there will have people who find it mediocre - OoT, MGS, FFVII, SMW (which I find mediocre), SM64, Goldeneye. How this shit-for-brains idea that DKC was some sort of graphics "trick" or that it didn't have good gameplay is ridiculous - particularly if we're including DKC2 which is widely regarded as one of the best platformers of all time.

this game was being shit on when it was released. everything from terrible audio, terrible graphics and large programming errors. some errors were so bad that rare couldn't fix the game in time before release. rare could only get the game to boot using the ram expansion installed. this sent rare and nintendo into a mad rush to ship the game with ram expansions, driving up the price of the game. it appears that the only people that have any fond memories of this bloated pile of eye cancer are people that were 2yo when the game was released.

DKC 3 has also been re-released, it also sold a lot considering it's a late SNES release (and GBA as well) and reviews are overall leaning more to the positive than the negative side from both critics and user reviews.

I mean, you don't have to prefer it to the other games and quantity doesn't say anything about its quality but from an objective point of view DKC3 isn't that much worse than the other ones.
