The biggest flaw with this game

[Anonymous No.6806303]

Is how all the mayors are just larger versions of typical enemies. Super retarded.

You bitter faggots are killing this board. Fuck off.
>retreat into bitch fest threads
>complain no one is posting pre gen 6
You cancerous faggots have totally changed my mind and made me embrace gen 6. You could have kept posting threads and talking about games but opted to cry and be martyrs instead.

Kinda like what a woman would do.

Anyway I want to start a new meme about bosses being called mayors because it's funny. Kys.

>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.

Take it to the /pre2k/ thread.

The minority of boomers who want to talk about ancient games are just that: a minority, and every pre-2000 Nintendoi doesn't need its own thread. Everybody wants to talk 6th gen because it's FINALLY here, so you need to save room for the REAL /vr/ content and take it to the /pre2k/ general

People started calling bosses "captains" because of this game (because King K Rool is a boat captain). Also why some people call bonus statges "banana rooms" today.

I called them mayors before DKC then after it was captain for a while. But it's impossible to talk to Gen 6+ zoomers about video games.
Try to give a basic explanation of Super Mario Bros board 1-4. "The Dragon is the mayor of this board, axe the bridge to send him down to hell". Well kids call The Dragon "Papa Bowser" (to differentiate him from Bowser Junior) they think a board is wood (they have never seen a game board) and they don't know what hell means (because it's illegal to teach religion in school).
Don't even get me started on "find the hidden present to grow the tree and climb to the cloud bank. If you earn one hundred dollars you win a free game"

[Anonymous No.6807490]

The biggest flaw was that the gameplay was fucking shit. Compare it to a good platformer on the same console (SMW) and see how DKC is a glitchy goddamn pile of garbage that was only successful because it marketed to nugamers who cared more about how it looked than its fucking gameplay.
DKC was the path to nugaming trash that made the N64/PS1 generation such shit (and that shouldn't be in /vr/) and should be seen as a shameful, horrible game by a company (Rare) that had a goddamn history of shitty goddamn games before DKC.
Anyone who likes this garbage isn't a real gamer.
