Talk about it.

[Anonymous No.8940305]

"the worst DKC but still fun" is still the right take after all these years even if you're tired of hearing it

the somber mood and northern wilderness themes are really nice sometimes. the game did nothing to enrich the formula like 2 did but it still managed to be its own thing and i respect it for that. i mean if you trash-talked dkc3 at the time you should still be apologizing to it to this day after dk64

[Anonymous No.8940320]

It's a good game. I wish Kiddy was faster, since with him and Dixie both being slower than DK and Diddy in previous games, the whole game's pacing is much more sluggish.

Enemy redesigns felt unwarranted to me. Especially when they were so cartoony.

[Anonymous No.8940329]

>>8939850
Not as good as 2 but I personally prefer it over 1. I love the alpine setting, its super nostalgic and takes me back to camping in the mountains as a kid.
Any other games that nail that feel? Hill Top Zone in Sonic 2 scratches the itch but not much else I know of.

3 is legit more fun than 2. Not even trolling.
Better graphics, better levels, better bosses. The trading sequence was interesting. The only negative thing is the crystal cave banana birds.

Oh btw, the hidden lost world was so much better in 3 than 2. It felt like visiting that secret area in star road in super Mario world. I wish more games would do this these days

I've never seen an argument that 1 isn't the worst DKC that won me over. The game is both barebones as fuck and hastily completed with repetitions of those bare bones. Way too many copy-pasted cave levels, some of the laziest recycled bosses on the platform (including one being just a prop that generates enemies), and an experience you can finish in a couple hours or less if you aren't an unskilled child. It honestly isn't much more than a sound and graphics showcase, but it's very atmospheric and charming.

Why is it a bad game?

It sucks. Music is boring and repetitive. There are only like 4 different stage types. Literally a cash in. Dkc in one of my favorite series but Dkc3 is pretty bad. I still play through it every five or so years just to see if I'm wrong, but nope it's bad

No, Frankenstein (1931) wasn't a B-Movie, that was actually an actual proper budgeted movie.

By B-Movie I mean pure cheese jank film with no budget from the 50's and 60's, think about it: How many low budget horror movies start with a roadtrip or a vacation or something relaxing and then devolves from that point on? Stuff like Robot Monster or Manos. These movies also used actual spiders for cheap makeshift special effects and bam, giant spiders, or cheap monster costumes, you'd get stuff like Belcha (lowest of the low) or Bleak.

Plus, Ed Wood, the most infamous B-Movie director, did castles and stuff like that as callbacks to when classic horror was chic in real cinema in the 40's but by then considered cheesy and cheap (so much poor Boris Karloff ended his career on some no-budget mexican movie)

I put it down to the "teenager" problem. Lots of people played DKC1+2 when they were kids, progressing into tweens. 3 came about when they were discovering alcohol and girls at the time when they could be playing edgy teenage games on the playstation instead of silly kiddy games on the snes.
And because of the timing, actual kids were getting N64s and Mario, not SNES+DKC3 so there isn't a "this was my childhood!" defence force.

I never got the complaint against the music. While DKC2's OST is better overall, I think DKC3's OST is still incredible, stuff like Cascade Capers, Frosty Frolics, Rockface Rumble and more are always on my mind when I chill. DKC2 became my defacto "let's chill" music.

1 understood principles of minimalism and exploration/discovery for its own sake rather than for baubles. neither game is challenging to me (i used to be wr speedrun good at dkc before that was a thing and now i'm just decent) 3 is far easier if you ask me, levels aren't typically treacherous, there's no snow barrel blast for people to get hung up on i think. some levels like the waterfall ones will waste your time a bit if you fuck up.

if you account for preferences in style and just imagine the stages in terms of their base layout and platforming, 3's levels are actually far less involved, intricate, and skill-based, it's usually straight lines and there's none of the "rhythm" that the first two games have to their design, like strategically placed kremlings you can roll through for momentum. of course part of the issue is that you have medium/slow kongs instead of fast/slow or fast/medium like 1 and 2 respectively

>bosses
they're not amazing but given that dkc is part of the subset of platformers without a conventional attack (be it a punch, stab, or projectile) i don't really care about bosses too much. there's only so much you can do with a jump attack which is why mario has so few bosses and they had to abstract bowser fights into touching an axe. frankly i think the other dkcs' bosses aren't that much better and the ones where they try to break the mold like king zing sting are aggravating at worst and just don't feel good to play at best

Speak for yourself dude. Haven't seen the vid but this guy sounds like he's on my wavelength. I always thought it was weird that they have the banana hoard and kidnap letter establishing moments in the first two games but nothing in the thirs game but what looks like Dixie going for a leisurely swim? And then when the GBA ports came out I did a double-take that they did nothing again. Fuck off with your "no true Scottsman" bullshit. And I agree, Kiddy does overtake online discussion of this game, and if you're petty enough to publicly announce a downvote, that doesn't mean dick because any votes you give wil actually help video algorithms (also, why the hell do you have an account if you profess to be against the eternal eceleb?). I mean goddamn, your back and forth made me go from "oh that cute I'm probably gonna ignore it tho" to "ok what's the fuss I'm gonna bookmark this for later."

Everything is fake. 9/11, Gulf of Tonkin, the Moon Landing, the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Holocaust, Sandy Hook, JFK's assasination, Covid, Biden's election victory, it's all fake and staged so us Jews can control everything and everyone. You name it, we did it.

The only thing that was ever real was Hitler's rise to power. Yes, somehow, after a thousand years of full control of every country, every major political movement, and every war, we somehow slipped up, overplayed our hand, and allowed some random goy whose life goal was to kill all of us to gain power by getting 96 percent of the electorate in germany to vote for his party and start a global conflict which ended up in 60 million of the same people he claimed he was fighting to save from communism to be killed.

Luckily for us, while he was tasking regiments to go massacre untold numbers of villagers across eastern europe for not liking him, he kept us in protected neighborhoods and promised us our own country when his war was finished. I guess he was just playing an extremely long con and was saving us for last? We must have really got extremely lucky! Shame about the 60 million white nationalist goys.

Now if you'll excuse me, i have to leave the computer for a second. The phones at the office are ringing off the hooks, my colleagues out in Broward County and Tel-Aviv are all shidding and farding trying to figure out what we have to do to stop this bombshell from dropping on the dumb normie masses and prevent anudda shoah!

I got my SNES in 1996, and it was my first home console. My parents got me DKC3 because it was there, and I didn't get to play 1 until visiting a friend's house in 2001, or 2 until 2009. 3 was my childhood. It's a good game. 2 blows it out of the water. It might actually be better than 1, though. 1 is just incredibly simplistic.

However, I now recall supposedly one of Yokoi's reasons to make the Virtual Boy with just red LEDs was due to it being the cheapest and him being disgruntled about the gaming industry becoming a technology arms race. He really hated where the Nintendo vs SEGA and then vs Sony had taken Nintendo towards to, and when he made the Wonderswan, he used the oldest, cheapest technology available at that time, since he prefered a low price bar for more accesibility and let the developers use their creative muscle.

Probably this influenced DKL's story about Cranky betting on DK and Diddy they can't do shit on a monochrome portable because they were all graphics and no gameplay. But that's just my assumption.

I believe it is inevitable but the harsh reality is that, as talented as Retro are, they have absolutely asinine time-management skills, zero administration skills on the higher levels and no multitask capacity. If they had whoever people at Rareware were capable of administrating the staff into several teams or better scheduling, they'd be able to shit out a new DKC while the bulk of the workload goes to Metroid, but it seems right now it's "one or the other". Likewise, Miyamoto shouldn't settle on "only Retro can make DK" and let Koizumi and his team or call fucking Playtonic (as it's basically all ex-Rareware staff) to make a DKC while Retro manages to put it self out of the current flames they're in.

You've probably (and rightfully) dismissed the rumors, but if you missed them, the webmaster of an ancient Rareware fansite completely believes that a little bird told him Koizumi's team is making a new DK right now. Aside from all the obvious problems with that, he actually first claimed it in 2018, shortly after the King's Smash reveal (the details of which allegedly also being shared with him in advance being a main reason he believes this person). Unless Nintendo is treating every game like BOTW 2, I don't think it's very likely a game that was being worked on four years ago would still be unannounced.

Diddy Kong Racing DS released a few months earlier. It was Rare's last time they handled the Donkey Kong franchise or any Nintendo franchise since the Microsoft buyout.

Rare confirmed that the redesign idea was Nintendo's:

they know they fucked up with the hidden collectables in 2 because they made that shit way too easy to find in 3

[Anonymous No.8959639]

>>8959570
do you think 2 was hard in regards to secrets?

[Anonymous No.8959838]

>>8959639
I'd say a good 10% of them were total bullshit
I should have said "some of" the hidden collectables, obviously most of them were not hard

[Anonymous No.8959840]

>>8959838
which ones did you struggle with?

[Anonymous No.8959846]

>>8959840
the 2 that always come mind were:
1. one of the later bramble levels that you had to just blindly jump through a bramble wall with no indication whatsoever
2. one of the lava caves you had to use the rhino to break a completely random wall once again with no indication
I also vaguely remember there being some really tough to find ones in the vertical scrolling stages that basically required leaps of faith
I know I'm being very vague but feel free to prove me wrong it's been ages since I played 2 desu

1. there's a banana sitting on a ledge on the second bramble level. i recall the camera scrolling towards it which is hinting that you should move towards it.
2. the no-rambi sign prevents you from exploring with him after the balloon section, so you may be inclined to try ramming the wall on the other side before surrendering him
3. you may be thinking of the dk coin for toxic tower. there's a bee that you need to jump on before falling. he's the only one in the set of jumps you make on those ascending platforms, so it's a small hint.

the web woods one where you follow the cannonball backwards had me confused for like 40 minutes. i thought it may work but then i thought "why would an enemy projectile open a secret?"

The big obvious complete improvement 3 made over 2, was that 3 would tell you when you've collected all of the bonus coins in a level.
The fact this wasn't in 2 was a joke.

[Anonymous No.8960548]

>>8960523
Both games have the stage name add a “!” after you beat all the bonus barrels. 3 had some kind of extra tell with the flags iirc.

It's decent with the color restoration patch. Shame there isn't one for DKC2 GBA.

2 words: Banana bird.

[Anonymous No.8965150]

>>8965139
i like the conecpt and i like finding the hidden caves, but the memory games feels a little weak. it works, though. i think the point is it's supposed to be played every so often as you discover new caves instead of all at once. i think mini levels where you look for a bird in a secret spot would have been better, but that's asking a lot in a year's time of development.

The Simon minigames are the worst part of the game. They aren't fun or interesting - they've got nothing to do with action/platforming. I think you have to be really young or full of wonder to enjoy such a silly addition. I always save doing those parts for last because I find them too tedious and too different from the rest of the game.

>play the banana bird simon says game

>realise the colors of the crystals are the same as the pal/jp controllers
>mind blown
I felt like I'd missed out on a nice reference because of that. It's a shame they couldn't do the same homage with the colors on a regular controller. Would it be hard to make a hack of that?

Three has a good variety of stage designs, the mini games including the target throwing one also is just straight up more fun than the trivia games. I also like the variety of bosses, I think DKC3 has the best bosses of all 3

DKC3 also has the best overworld, instead of just going from dot to dot you get to explore the overworld and desu its constructed really well, rather than just going from one dot to another until the end, then going to the next dot on the overworld, its a complete world of difference

Also DKC3 is the best looking of all the games. I really dont understand why people hate DKC3. I totally understand people preferring 2 over 3, but there is no way DKC3 is a worse game than the original DKC. There are so many improvements its just retarded
>>8941962
Why would I shit on the rest of the franchise? DKC3 is my favourite, and the only thing I dont like about the original trilogy are the bosses in the first DKC suck but thats relative to the ones in 2 and 3. Theyre a total joke, its literally one slightly oversized enemy in a room of bananas, and theyre complete pushovers

you can tell there's different design choices. rare's "b-team" made the third game.

[Anonymous No.8968757]

>>8968751
but most things, maybe other than the theme, was improved upon. B-team my ass

[Anonymous No.8968761]

>>8968757
i really like the game. i'm not knocking it, but i am not joking about the b-team thing. the guys who made 2 were working on dk64.

[Anonymous No.8968769]

>>8968761
ok alright
But IMO, the game overall did not go through a drop in quality and even, I feel like Bonus stages and stuff was generally even better hidden than they did in 2, so even if the b-team thing is right, it didn't quite affect the quality of the game

[Anonymous No.8968778]

>>8968769
i think each of the three games could be considered a favorite by someone. they are all different enough in their own respect. three definitely did not have a drop in quality overall. i think a lot of people nitpick it because of the changes made from 2 or even 1 that they liked.

>if you trash-talked dkc3 at the time
Did people really trash-talk DKC3?

I mean... Like a lot of other kids, I thought it wasn't quite as good as 2, and also it didn't really feel that special in 1996 since everyone was excited about Mario 64, but I never thought it was a bad game. It was a decent-enough swansong for a dying console and I definitely played the fuck out of it (along with Super Mario RPG and Kirby's Dream Land 3).

The lead designer of DKC1 and 2 went on to do Banjo-Kazooie (which was shortly called "Dream" and started as a SNES game). Most of the people who did DK64 weren't involved with any of the SNES Donkey Kong games.
