What went so wrong?

>> No.9878415

trilogy syndrome
first entry: creatives experience the joy of discovery and inspiration
second entry: creatives get to utilize every lesson learned and implement every good idea they came up with along the way making the first one
third entry: uhhh another one. cool?

Same thing that went wrong in 2. No DK.

I think the lack of DK in 2 actually made the game feel more epic; that, the soundtrack, the enemy theming, level theming, and just overall improvement in quality, are all aspects that combined to make for a more grand adventure. Diddy and Dixie make a nice team, too.

The problem is that they didn’t bring DK back in 3 to team up with Dixie.

Blew their wad with DKC2, so the sequel felt more like an epilogue where the Kongs were on vacation. It's awesome though, wonderful game, all-time great trilogy. I wouldn't change how it happened.

Nothing. Kiddy sucks and is unappealing to look at, some of the enemy redesigns are shit but it's a fantastic fucking game. It had to be a follow up to DKC2 and it obviously was never going to hold a candle to it. I personally hate pirates and pirate settings in general so I even prefer 3's overworld and setting to 2.

This factually isn't true though.

>> No.9879143

They aren't that different desu, the issue with 3 is that they added a lot of unecessary shit, the bird minigame, the item collecting and trading, the waters carts, the overworld secrets (really how many people would have found out the secret world by themselves?)

The only thing I missed from the first one was the ost and the level thematic, but main issue with the first game is that there is too much barrel and zinger autism

I think it’s the best of the trilogy

Unbelievable graphics (came out after the N64) & overworld
Genuinely scary levels
New animal buddies are cute
Significantly longer than the others
Has a lot of traditional platforming levels, also tricky puzzle levels

Yeah all those things were fun when I was a kid and I felt they added to the game. Figuring out the secret world was a little tough, I never did it but I got close. I remember I thought I got all the banana birds, I was so sure of it, but I was missing one somewhere.

How much longer than the others? I'm stuck at some boss. First or second.

>>9879364
It has I believe exactly 2 levels more than DKC. They increased the total by 1 for DKC2, then by 1 again. But because it's somewhat nonlinear, and because of the more spread out overworld map and additional secret content, it feels even bigger than it is. I think there's six bosses not including the final boss?

Platforming took a backseat to collecting. The same thing happened with SMW2 Yoshis Island, and most of the platformers in the subsequent gen. In fact, I'll go on a limb and say 3D platformers were strangled in the crib by collectathons. Meanwhile 2D platformers were killed by both collectathons and metroidvania shit

>Platforming took a backseat to collecting
No matter how many time people repeat this it still won't be true. The new collectables (banana birds, gifts for the bears) are found OUTSIDE the levels and are completely unrelated to the platforming. The ones that you need to actually collect in the levels (base coins, bonus coins, DK coins) are the same exact ones as in DKC2. DK coins are much less hidden, in fact.

>> No.9879676

>>9879661
Also the objects for the bears trading sequence are found pretty much automatically. Really it's just the banana birds that you can completely ignore if you don't care about the (shitty) secret ending.

>> No.9880321

me and my sister 100% completed it and got the secret banana bird ending which felt so weird in the DC universe and we both just looked at eachother like what the fuck is even happening
the whole game kind of builds to that moment in that it's just so slightly off
it doesn't /feel/ very DKC in comparison to the others
I still like it and have nostalgia for it but its the black sheep
