I didn't really like them toward the end days Tbh. Battletoads were some killer games though, incredibly thoughtful, varied, oozed style and technically impressive all around. Killer Instinct was the only game out of the Mortal Kombat Kopy Kraze that I ever liked including Mortal Kombat. Nothing to say about later entries after the original / its great SNES port.

hot take: rare is to blame for killing pixel art graphics by using their shitty 3d pre renders... last decent pixel graphic game before they fucked us was genesis aladin... all classically animated and translated into pixel art. then we got ugly ass killer instinct and dkc. brits fucked us again.

DK64 is a fundamentally flawed game. Even its most ardent defenders will admit it has faults. For everything it does right, it does five things wrong.

>massive huge open levels you can easily get lost in
>characters move at molasses pace
>locking collectibles to certain Kongs
>you can only swap Kongs at a predesignated location
>so many things to grab it becomes ridiculous
>most of the Mini game barrels suck and are required to collect golden bananas
>excessive backtracking

Even if you were to fix one of these issues, you’d still be stuck with the rest. The game is flawed from the ground up. It needs a full remake to fix the issues it has

The only criticism I'd grant you are the minigames, I hate that shit. The rest are all obviously biased takes from somebody that probably doesn't like collection games at all. I'm not going to agree that the characters move slow when I know all their controls very well and play very quickly, tricks like triple jumps, using all of their maneuvers like rolling and cartwheeling and so on. There really aren't that many things to grab. Per session, there are 4 bananas, 1 blueprint, and minimum of 75 bananas. Play as one kong and the level moves at a faster pace than Banjo Kazooie. If you're ADD and you jump barrels every time you see one, or worse, use that stupid mod to change kongs at any moment, you're not going to have a good time.

Actual criticisms from people that love the game:

>Draw distance is bullshit.
The game does a pretty good job in most areas but banana balloons can be really frustrating. There are a handful that are completely invisible unless you are standing in a specific area with first person mode on.
>Needs more animal buddies
Rambi and Engarde are nice, but the ostrich and frog definitely should have been here, and the transformations should have happened in more levels. Such teases to put them only at the beginning.
>Fuck the mini games
Fuck em. Hate em. The last levels especially are full of em. Reeks of laziness.

But no, it's not a fundamentally flawed game. If you think that, collectathons just aren't for you.

It's the same thing as BK except 10x more tedious.

In the DK setting but with worse characters and a worse aesthetic.

why the hate for diddy kong racing?

[Anonymous No.7950294]

My opinion on Rare(ware) is that they always come with a brilliant concepts for their games and a top-notch graphic but they always ruin it with a poor execution of gameplay.

Battletoads: awesome concept, unique levels, cool characters, the game's fucking bugged and difficulty curve is like your theme park you've build in rollercoaster tycoon when you were 6 years old
Snake Rattle'n Roll: awesome concept, cool characters, great sense of exploration, controlling snake is hell, icy levels are fucking unplayable.
Banjo-Kazooie: awesome concept, cool characters, colorful, lovely graphics and characters, camera is shit, underwater swimming is godawful shit, can't properly save your progress, forces you to watch game over cutscene every time you exit the game.

They basically give you a cool game and say: "Here's your cool game, but we don't care if it's too hard or broken, git gud at our game faggo"

I think my top 3 from these devs would be DKC1, 2 and Captain Skyhawk. These are the games I've actually got my enjoyment from. Can't really think of a worst 3, but I guess that would be some very early stuff or Digger T. Rock. Another game with ruined execution, love the digging theme in games but it's just pure pain

Worst takes here, none of the points are detrimental to gameplay, just "could be better". Absolute worst thing about BK is the draw distance, hands down.
>They basically give you a cool game and say: "Here's your cool game, but we don't care if it's too hard or broken, git gud at our game faggo"

[Anonymous No.7950512]

> In what way?

There is a well-known bug with Clinger-Winger level, if you're 2nd player, your controls just turn off and you can't do anything but die.
I think that got fixed in PAL version, but it's still present in original. The level itself is a fucking torture.

On 2nd level, if your rope breaks and you're unlucky, you're stuck somewhere out of the screen borders and you can't go back.

There are some other instances of game scripts not working and locking your progress in the game, although not very common.

> Absolute worst thing about BK is the draw distance, hands down.

Suprisingly, that was the lesser of problems to me. Swimming underwater was the absolute atrocity, it is slow as fuck and you're constantly strained by everything, oxygen, time limits, shark, it's just not fun.

But the crocodile mini-game in the swamp world is where I completely gave up.
I can't love a game that constantly kicks me in the nuts, even if it's good. It's like having a friendship with a bully jerk because you have no other friends.

Except you can't collect everything as one kong without first unlocking areas with the other kongs. Getting just the key items requires switching characters 10+ times per level if you know the most efficient order which means a whole lot of backtracking and replaying. There's a patch out there that adds swap-anywhere and the improvements to game flow are astronomical. It's just a shame that trying to reconcile that patch with the EEPROM patch and not have it trip the anti-piracy is impossible so I can't use my EDv2. But it's such an improvement I'm almost willing to drop the cash for a v3 JUST for that patch.

Kinect sports isnt even considered a real game to me. I like the speccy games for the most part. Honorable mention to DKC1, DK land, Banjo Tooie, Conker, Jet Force Gemini, Diddy Kong Racing, Battletoads, Atic Atac, jetpack, moon patrol, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Perfect Dark, and Blast corps. Kameo was playable. Gameboy banjo was ok too.

DKC3 was a disaster. 4th worst. Dk64 wasnt great. Starfox adventures wasnt finished but had so much potential. Rc pro am 2 was a step down from 1. Never got into Killer instinct.

I have the game memorized and know which kong to start each level with. The route I use is able to open all areas efficiently with the minimal amount of preparatory switches (gloomy galleon is one that you kinda just have to do it, but it's like just 2 switches at the beginning). There are certain areas that only have one kong's collectibles, so ignore them. There are certain areas that one kong opens up for another kong, so do the one kong first and the other kong last, open the area up on your way out of the level. And so on. I get that I'm not the average player, but the game is super rewarding to have memorized. Using a patch to switch on the spot just feels against the spirit of the game. Not asking everybody to have the game memorized like me, but planning out your switches is still integral to playing the game casually. Just switching on the spot takes away all of the challenge of planning your route.
