so is DK Bananza THAT good or will there be "it's no masterpiece" videos coming out in a few months.
Is it a serious GOTY contender next to games like DS2, E33 and Split Fiction?

>>715762558 (OP)
It's a fun game.

it's really not that bananas...............

>>715762558 (OP)
It's mediocre. Ok at best. It's just another instance of a Nintendo product that would just be bypassed if it was made by literally anyone else. I've stopped taking anything said about a Nintendo game seriously after Tears of The Kingdom got so many 10/10s when it's not even close to that kind of quality. Like a 7 tops.

It's shit, only manchildren like tendies can find it fun.

>>715762558 (OP)
It's like a 8.3 7.8 game if you've been playing DK since the SNES days. You need to take into consideration the absolute dogshit state of the current day industry, game has perfect controls, good design and it's not made on unreal engine so it's probably a 10/10 in 2025.

Way better than Astrobot and has actual difficulty for what it's worth.

>>715762558 (OP)
>Is it a serious GOTY contender next to games like DS2, E33 and Split Fiction?
Even if it were the worst donkey kong game ever made it would still be a contender to these games.

i want to play this but $110 AUD is fucking nuts

>>715763229
why does every screenshot i see from this game look like the Luncheon Kingdom from Odyssey?
Are there levels that look less blocky?

Its literally just Mario Odyssey 2, like, thats it

>This isnt a bad thing btw

>>715763459
Those are bonus stages

>>715763459

Regardless of the game faggots will always make all kind of videos based on their opinions, shit you should have figured this out already, taking eceleb opinios at face value is just pants on head retarded

>>715762558 (OP)
it's good. the camera is wonky but the movement is really satisfying. Definitely a game for the schmoovement enjoyers

Have you not seen all the gameplay videos?

>>715763632
oh don't worry I know that, I was a big fan of TotK unfortunately for me.
It's just right now the game is getting insanely good reviews left and right and i was wondering if it's just happening in the heat of the moment and a good chunk of people will just start shitting on the game not far into the future

>>715762558 (OP)
No big critic will ever shittalk it because Nintendo REALLY needs this to be a success so they would never ever send a review copy to someone again if they get in the way of that.

>>715762558 (OP)
It's a fun 7.5-8/10 game. Someone else's Goty doesn't mean anything

It's better than all of those.

It's a solid game that is gameplay mechanically focused. Make your own decision about whether that's valuable to you

The paid shill campaign worked.

>>715764160
it's the first good Final Fantasy game since FFX

>>715764506
FFX wasn't a good game

>>715762558 (OP)
I'm fairly early in the game, it's very fun so far, I don't really like the art direction though, it feels like they were making a wario game but quickly converted it into a donkey Kong game at the last minute

>>715764756
still miles better than whatever came after

>>715762558 (OP)
The very beginning is kind of slow as it sets up the story, but after you make it to the open area (B100F) it becomes VERY fun as you are turned loose to play. My personal advice is just go through the story stuff and don't waste time looking around at the beginning, but after you drop down to B100F let loose and start looking for bananas and fossils because it's great.

By the time you return Pauline to her actual form you will be having a blast.

>Is it a serious GOTY contender
In the sense of the award show, probably not because I doubt Nintendo is going to pay for a bullshit trophy. But in terms of games I have played so far this year, yes it's a lot of fun and if the rest of the game is as fun as the beginning (I just beat the first boss), than it will definitely have a shot at being one of the top games this year. But it's hard to say because there's big contenders coming later this year like Metroid.

>>715764834
That's not an endorsement

>>715762558 (OP)
nobody can pirate or emulate it so expect a lot of sour grapes posting

Compared to everything coming out today for PCs and cuckstation? It's godlike. It has great controls, it has level design instead of yellow paint, and so on. But compared to Nintendos catalogue? Its decent but not their best work. A fun game and well worth the time/money in any case though.

>>715764865
Metroid isn't a big contender. The Prime team hasn't been at Retro for 10 years

>>715764065
Are all your purchases decided by what others think?

AHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA

>>715764964
That's like saying Dread wouldn't be good because it was developed by a bunch of literal who's.

Then it released and it was was one the best games in the history of the franchise (a franchise famous for having some literal perfect games).

>>715765018
when games cost 80$ now a helping hand is welcome

What skills should I invest in.

>>715765025
You're welcome. I think it's a lot of fun, but who knows it might not be up to your taste. If you liked Mario Odyssey than you'll probably like this, but you shouldn't go into this expecting Mario Odyssey because obviously it plays quite differently.

>>715762815
Tears of the Kingdom is one of the best games ever made

>>715765078
Geoff will definitely put Split Fiction in the GOTY category don't kid yourself. Josef Fares is basically the second face of the Game Awards at this point

>>715762558 (OP)
its pretty great. controls are tight, camera is responsive, story is fun and cool, lots of scenic variety, fun boss fights, fun environments, loline's feet are cute and clean

its a clear 10/10 one of my most fun and memorable games since odyssey, i cant wait to play it

>>715765079
>That's like saying Dread wouldn't be good because it was developed by a bunch of literal who's.
Point to where this was said. Not even comparable. Mercury Steam have a portfolio of new games they've made. The current Retro team haven't made anything new

>>715765492
Farez will be there but he will give the award to his BFF Kojima

There’s a Scooby Doo reference for some reason.

Pauline is very cute and she and DK have a fun dynamic, 10/10

>>715765516

My only complain really is the bosses are too easy. You can wail on them from 100% to 0 and they can't do anything about it.

why the child got her grippers out though?

>>715765809
I wonder if they’re all balanced around being beatable with one bananza mode at the base timer because yeah they’re really easy and short. The first real one, I didn’t even notice the explosive ore until I was exploring after I beat it.

>>715765123
it costs $60

>>715762558 (OP)
I was saying "it's no masterpiece" about Mario Odyssey about 2 hours into the game. I'm 7 hours into this and I'm still having a fucking blast.

I'm still not gonna buy the switch 2 when it comes out, sorry. Maybe if it was 300 bucks!

>>715766143

Don’t let money be your master, my friend

>>715766082
I went back to some of the earlier challenge levels and found secret areas in almost all of them, I like how much they hid in this game even if it’s just gold and coins.

>>715763229
>>715764865
>>715765516
>>715766082
thanks! I'll definitely get it once I find a second game to buy a Switch 2 for

I’m liking it more than Astro Bot right now. It has cool physics and levels but with actual platforming mechanics and depth. You unlock a double jump when holding chunks and you’ll eventually pick up that you can combine it with the surf jump to make a triple jump, then extend your horizontal momentum with a slap, roll, or both. Astro Bot had better bosses though, can’t argue against that.

>>715762558 (OP)
It's going to be the Wario World of the Switch 2

>>715766916
The shmovement options are great but the level design doesn't challenge you, it's just an option if you wanna style

>>715762558 (OP)
It's better than Odyssey, but I thought Odyssey was trash so I'm probably in the minority. It's definitely not worth $70 though.

>>715764506
should I give E33 another try then ? I stopped once I got to like the first village wit the arena fight

>>715766371
I’m hoping for Kirby Air Riders to be good and meaty, it’s a Sakurai game so hopefully

>>715765516
>i cant wait to play it

Got past the first 3 worlds (tutorial included)
So far I'd say it's 1 rung below odyssey, it's more sandboxy which is nice, but the compromises that have to be made to level design aren't enough to make up for it. Having worlds within worlds is cool too like you don't know whether they really just make a world that's a flat plain you spend 30 minutes in until right before you reach the end of it
Also you can just infinitely use the first transformation you get and get every fossil map for an area in like 2 minutes which seems dumb

>>715767126
I really loved it and thought the combat was insanely fun on Expert. The Story really caught me off-guard too it's really good. I do think you should focus on the main quest and maybe do some but not all side-content because a lot of it feels like lazy padding and you'll end up becoming too powerful for the main quest.
it's not a crazy long game so i think you should keep playing

>>715765032
>This site is more raw and honest.
LMAO, get a load of this retard.

>>715766991
I'm gonna assume there will be stuff later on with areas you'll wanna skip, like in >>715763229 I can already picture out what I'd do here. There was one second banana in an area I got by doing the cool movement but I think I was supposed to use the bomb rocks in a smarter way or something.

Should I fap to Tiny Kong yes or no

Good

It's Odyssey 2
Same easy campaign and challenge rooms. Fun movement and will be cool for speedruns. Pretty cool just wish it was more of a platforming challenge instead of an easy exploring game.

>>715763229
way worse than astrobot. way worse than odyssey. it's visual dogshit, has horrible pop-in, slowdowns, no level design and the voice acting is cringe as fuck.

>>715765798
Based i don't need voice acting in my Bing Bing except for the WAHOOs

>>715769157
Odyssey is a collectathon.
there was an actual point to the collectables in this.
here they're just pointless EXP you can avoide since the game is braindead easy and DK is OP right from the start.

I wish pauline spoke gibberish.

>>715762558 (OP)
Spam the fuck out of LT + Y everywhere you go

>>715769157
I love the subareas and challenge rooms in Odyssey, the way they focus more on linear platforming is a good contrast to the kingdom overworlds being more open. The postgame rooms like the ones where you're climbing some structure avoiding Bullet Bills or whatever are challenging too, so I enjoy those. Does Bananza have stuff like that? I ask because you say there are challenge rooms but then say you wished there was more platforming.

>>715762558 (OP)
i glanced at reddit and there was tons of "erm i just spent an hour clearing out every single piece of dirt from level 1, needless to say i'm having a blast!"
i hadn't put together that nintendo is targeting mindless power wash sim aficionados but it actually makes sense, bananza is like a very satisfying virtual fidget toy with lots of number go up

>>715769796
It's a garish baby sensory video and a fidget toy in one.

I’m torn on this one. I typically like platformers, but I see people here calling it a piece of shit and it’s causing confirmation bias. I’m skeptical, bros.

Is anyone else having their switch 2 fucking BURN playing this? I played 2 hours and that back panel felt like I could cook a damn egg on it.
Switch is docked, in an open area on my TV stand, nothing is blocked and airflow is fine. I’m worried this thing is going to melt, but I guess this shit is normal?

>>715769724
Yeah and they're fun so far. 3 bananas in each, two impossible to miss and one out of the way. There's other secrets in the areas too. Went back to the first one and you're supposed to climb on hang bars, but you can just jump over all that if you have double jump and know the tricks. Of course doing the level normally isn't hard so you do this to just fuck around.

>>715762558 (OP)

>>715762558 (OP)
It's a fine enough game. Basically, if you liked Super Mario Odyssey, or, like, most of Nintendo's output during the Switch, then you'll like Bananza. Is it a masterpiece? Nah. I don't think it's really trying to be though. People are trying to treat it like a Breath of the Wild, like it's supposed to be this "next big thing" for DK, when it's just a fun DK game that lets you go fucking bonkers through almost entirely destructible maps. Is it $70 fun? That's up to you.

>>715762558 (OP)
>or will there be "it's no masterpiece" videos coming out in a few months
Considering those videos are specifically made for games that ARE that good, like Odyssey, I'm not sure how to answer your question. It's been a lot of fun. Oozes soul. Poison forest area got me a few times.

>>715764160
I feel the public and Geoff have had enough time to acknowledge the fact that it's basically a JRPG, despite being made by France. Being a JRPG alone disqualifies it from being a GOTY contender at the Geoff awards, at least. I'm not saying this because I dislike the game or JRPGs but just because that's the honest truth of the matter historically speaking.

>>715763229
>Way better than Astrobot and has actual difficulty for what it's worth.
This is a joke, right? I haven't played Astrobot, but I've seen a webm of some challenge level that looked like it might've been slightly hard.

Nothing in Bonanza is hard. It's comically easy, from start to finish. The closest the game gets to difficulty is MAYBE the final K Rool fight if you have 3 hearts, but even then I think you can tank a hit, so it's trivial baby garbage. If you die in 1 hit, maybe it's a fun 30 minutes.

TotK was also awful baby shit, but I had fun with Ganon on a 3 heart run. K Rool is so slow and easy that he's barely a challenge.

>>715774718
This post is laughable bait.

>>715774718
There are regular enemies and hazards that dral 3 hearts of damage, you shitposting retard.
>astrobot looked hard
Show any level. Even one with an ounce of challenge. You can't , since you haven't played either game your post is about.

>>715762558 (OP)
I watched an hour of gameplay and it looks pretty boring.

>>715774752
What did you find hard in Bonanza? I'm sure Astrobot is laughably easy for 99% of the game, but I saw a segment where a guy was riding a ball over spikes and it looked like it might be slightly fun.

I forgot to mention that Ganon 3 heart is also master sword only, if you use any item combos it becomes trivial slop because you kill him in 3 hits.

>>715774842
And the game is filled with items that insta-revive you. I think there are 3 different types of them?

>>715762558 (OP)
It's shit compared to E33

>>715762558 (OP)
My initial reaction was I wish I was playing just regular dkc games instead. It picked up a little for me when I got zebra. Ostrich isnt as fun but the level it was in seemed cool but I didn't explore much. It's about on par with sonic frontiers for me right now maybe a little less good. I also don't really like open world games though,but the areas being smaller helps mitigate it a bit

>>715762558 (OP)
It's fun but in short sessions and spacing them, it can get quite repetitive, but it's a really good game to just turn your brain off and chill

>>715774893
>And the game is filled with items that insta-revive you. I think there are 3 different types of them
There's 1, the apple juice. The balloon picks you up out of pits, and the other item just lets you use banazas without full meter. You, again, didn't play the game.

>>715762558 (OP)

>but I saw a segment where a guy was riding a ball over spikes and it looked like it might be slightly fun.
Ah, a slowpaced, babymode version of the thing they stole from mario galaxy, which is slower than the surfing in bananza. Wow, you really seem like you're knowledgeable...........

>>715762558 (OP)
Who cares about GOTY, it's fun. Donkey Kong has to have the most overpowered moveset I've ever seen in a 3D platformer and it feels fantastic. The level design is good enough to keep you in check but it's crazy just how much power and mobility they give you.

>>715762815
Yep, you can't really take reviews of Nintendo games remotely seriously anymore, you have to wait like a week-to-month to get the actual review estimate from die-hard fans once their honeymoon phases have passed.

Granted the game is still good, but it's nothing that's an insta-buy. (The OST is fucking amazing though.)

>>715774893
>game is "comically easy"

I'm sorry I wasn't paying that much attention to the easy mode items the game tricks you into picking up constantly.

>>715775164
>a slowpaced, babymode version of the thing they stole from mario galaxy,
The galaxy rolling ball levels have huge levels and lots of wiggle room, with barely any obstacles. SMB was 10x more fun.

>surfing in bananza
Oh, come the fuck on. Now I know you're just a moron.

>>715775350
2, not 3. Big difference, I'm sure.

>>715774893
As a direct point of comparison, Donkey Kong has challenge levels involving turf surfing over spiked race courses with obstacles. But the difference is that instead of a special gimmick mode that you're locked into, it's all part of DK's regular moveset. The Astrobot thing is weird because the spikes are glorified set dressing, they can't actually hurt you if you can't not be on the ball. Whereas in DK you're free to flub the controls and accidentally leave turf surf and die to the thorns.

More importantly, there's a key difference in how they handle, because DK's surf is actually properly physical and you carry momentum through slopes and turns. So it's more challenging because you can't just stop on a dime or generate a lot of horizontal distance in a jump without building speed up first.

>>715775419

The early ones do. And they're still harder than astrobot's.

This, honestly I sold my switch 2 and went to buy a third PS5 because I was so disappointed. The shelves were loaded with shitch 2s but the employee told me the PS5 is sold out for the next 2 years because everyone came to their senses. I'll just have to make do with my 2 PS5s I guess

>>715775426
>The Astrobot thing is weird because the spikes are glorified set dressing, they can't actually hurt you if you can't not be on the ball.
What, you can't jump off the ball? I don't really see how that changes the stage, I guess it's slightly dishonest.

Surf is probably more technically challenging, but the challenge stages in DKB are so comically easy that there's no point in the increased skill ceiling of controlling the surf. Which is why, again, I'll say that Astrobot looked more fun, there were obstacles I might've been tripped up by. DK gives you so many options that it's boring.

>>715775517
The game is easy even without them, but it's annoying that you're forced to take them at points. Even without them, the game has a checkpoint every 5 meters so dying is meaningless.

>>715775581
I haven't played Astrobot so I can't say if it has any difficulty or not, but what I saw in the webm looked like more fun than anything in Galaxy.

>>715762558 (OP)
I'm done with it. People won't even care enough to make an 'it's not masterpiece' about this game.

>>715770498
>Only showing off the tiny challenge rooms because it's the only art of the game with any semblance of design

>>715775732
>Surf is probably more technically challenging
Probably? So you haven't used the mechanic you HAVE to use to complete the game. The game you totally beat without leveling health even once (meaning you get one-shot by most late-game enemies) and never dying? But you know that there is no penalty to dying despite never dying? And you think that there are multiple items that revive you if you lose all your health despite there only being one?

Yeah, this is peak honesty here.

>>715775732
>but what I saw in the webm looked like more fun than anything in Galaxy
Lmao, another game you clearly haven't played. Ever considered actually playing a videogame? Try it, sometimes it's a good time.

>>715775132
>smartest /v/ user

>>715775887
I mean probably in the sense that "if levels were designed in a way that surf had to be used to perform complex movement techniques, it would PROBABLY be technically challenging". Obviously, in the actual game, surf is a comically retarded movement technique that adds nothing to the experience aside from being required 99% of the time so you aren't moving at the speed of slow.

>The game you totally beat without leveling health even once
I leveled health once, I thought that was obvious given I said K Rool MIGHT be fun if you had 3 hearts because I didn't remember how much damage he did on hit, just that he didn't kill me in 1 hit.

>But you know that there is no penalty to dying despite never dying?
Obviously I died. A game can be pathetically easy but you can still die, you know? You can fall off ledges and shit.

>And you think that there are multiple items that revive you if you lose all your health despite there only being one?
I never really noticed that balloons were used on fall deaths and the other thing was used on HP deaths. In my mind falling in a pit is a HP death to begin with, I never made the connection, they're both insta-revive items.

>>715775964
I've played all these games aside from Astrobot, because only a fucking retard would buy a Sony product after the PS3. It still looked like more fun than any of these Nu-Nintendo games, I'm sorry buddy.

Yeah, I'm out. Sorry the game you totally played was disappointing, anon. Hope you get better.

>>715763229
It's pisseasy, the challenge levels in AstroBot are way harder, even the bosses are

>>715776531
astrogarbage is a on rails movie platformer

>>715776531
Astrotrash is easier than any modern nintendo game

>>715776439
You really think that if you die in a game, that means it was hard? Any death has to be weighed against the actual inconvenience it causes. Let's say I die in Sonic 1. Well, now I have to re-do the whole stage, so that's up to a minute's worth of time loss. But if I die 3 times, I have to start the whole game over. Sonic 1 is not a very hard game, but it offers some minor challenge.

In DKB, dying removes a bit of your money, and sets you back maybe 10 seconds. Money that is completely worthless. There's no challenge, because there's no punishment for dying.

Just from that video of the K. Rool fight, Pauline's voice is grating and she never shuts up.

>>715776386
It's not about the game being hard, it's about the game feeling like it at least challenges you to some extent.
Astro bot has a legitimate problem where the entire game feels as easy as the first half of Mario 3D Land / World, and the "super ultra challenging" optional levels feel like standard mid / semi late game 3D Mario main levels, where they're only mildly challenging or only challenging for newcomers to the genre.

That's harder than pretty much anything you'd find in Mario postgame

>>715777119
It's not even as hard as 3D World's various bowser stages, and doesn't come close to the postgame worlds.

>>715777082
That would make sense if you said 5 or 6 instead of 12.

12 is already getting too old for Mario games to be socially acceptable. They are catered towards 10 and under

Nintendo appeals to kids because their games have bright colourful graphics and inoffensive content.

Nintendo also appeals to adults because adults just want to play fun and engaging unpretentious games and Nintendo generally make the best video games in the world - with a level of design and craft which can only be appreciated by an educated adult mind.

The grey area is the teens and young men, who struggle with identity and maturity. They shun anything which may appear "child-like" because of their own insecurities, while holding on to a bafflingly hilarious belief that video games are a medium capable of delivering deep, insightful musings on the human condition, naunced storytelling and non-cringeworthy voice acting. They will quickly latch onto the most infantile manifestations of "mature" content to validate their own sense of adulthood.

>Oooh it has boobies and violence and swearing.
>Ooooh its dark and gritty... like my soul.
>I am a mature gamer playing mature games.

It doesn't matter to them that these games play like shit or have terrible basic game design.

A quick look at any Best Games Ever list and - without fail - the Top 20 will always be completely saturated with Nintendo titles.

Can't you literally bring in a reserve item for this? so you can take 2 hits before you get here, and then you can take another 2 hits just on this section alone.

How is this difficult?

So what will be the challenge runs for this one?
Do you need to take any of the bananas? They always fall to the next area instead of being picked up so I imagine you can just go past them each time, right?
Could see some BS with a jumpless run being worked out since you can get some height off the dash and start climbing from it somehow presumably.

>>715778160
>what is an analogy
3 IQ post

>>715778169
If you make it through champions road first try only taking 3 hits then you deserve the victory
If you want to grind two items every time you die, which is going to be a lot, you're better off just gitting gud

There's also tons of parts through champions road where the hazard isn't getting hit, it's falling off the course, which an item won't save you from

>>715778240

If it was $60, then an 85 or so would be fair. But $70 easily drags it down 10ish points IMO, especially since it doesn't obviously look like an upgrade over Nintendo's Switch 1 fare, nor even run like it either. This game's biggest accomplishment in the Nintendo ecosystem is bringing K. Rool and the Kremling Krew back into the fold.

Not wowed with the Switch 2's first-party exclusives honestly. Especially not enthused that almost everything is a goddamn spinoff so far, and this is the one non-spinoff we do currently know of. Spinoffs are nice to have... But alongside a decent library of new mainline games, not instead of. If we don't get a good juicy general Direct in September or earlier, I'm absolutely jumping ship.

>>715778396

I just looked this slant eyed bug up and no, he's not a streamer that "specializes in Nintendo content", he's a Mario Maker 2 challenge level streamer. The most streamed hours he has for a 3D platformer of any kind is Mario Odyssey with a grand total of 80 hours streamed since its release. Mario Maker 1 and 2 are the only two Nintendo games that crack his top 10 moat streamed list

It looks pretty fun man, in terms of difficulty it's like an average late-game level in any DKC
I'll get Bananza once I have a Switch 2, but man I miss DK being the hard as balls, super precise 2D platformer
With Retro seemingly not going back to DKC3, I feel like DK will have the same fate as Zelda: fun and creative games but completely detached from their roots.

lol totk was like a solid 8.5 from content alone even if a SHIT ton was reused. But I know what you mean it did not have the same charm. Same map was a disgrace. Underground was mid, sky areas sucked except labyrinths.

Balloons just exist because the devs want you to just try doing wacky skips I here and there. They drop too frequently, I have 25 just from aping around.

Since they were talking about it above, I’ll go ahead and say the main reason Astro Bot’s challenge levels aren’t actually THAT hard is because of the format of them, and this applies to this game as well. You do stuff in bursts, so you do a segment, then get a little breather area, and then you do another segment. Because of the way these levels are structured as 3D platformers, you can take a few seconds to analyze what the next segment wants you to do and its never really that complex. In Astro Bot, the solution is usually quite simple and you just gotta execute it with moderate timing skills while watching out for enemies that spit stuff at you. In DK, I actually “fucked up” for a bonus banana where I had to blow up the ceiling and I didn’t, but the difference there is that I got the banana anyway because of movement tech and there’s a few other ways to get there as well.

>>715780358
>In DK, I actually “fucked up” for a bonus banana where I had to blow up the ceiling and I didn’t, but the difference there is that I got the banana anyway because of movement tech and there’s a few other ways to get there as well.
So you didn't fuck up.

This is the fundamental issue with nu-Nintendo design. You CAN'T fuck up. The game gives you the option to nuke the whole stage, but below every required platform is a metal frame you can't destroy. The game is designed for toddlers, there is no concept of risk vs reward.

>>715780498
It wasn’t even that. I just had to get the banana in a way where if I messed up the execution, I actually would’ve died while the other way would’ve just been risk free. But yes you are right about this and a lot of modern games that don’t do it like this just do it in short bursts instead of full-fledged levels unless it’s the secret stage or something.

>>715779990
lmao botw was a solid 7.5 and totk a disappointing 6.5

>>715763459
Anon its blocky because its using voxels

I'm not really seeing any actual negative points to the games detriment itt. Just asshurt moping.

It's honestly a brilliant game. Sure it's Odyssey-like, but hoe is that a bad thing? Beyond the super polished controls, beautiful art direction, arguably fun designs and writing and QT3.14 Paulina, the LEVEL DESIGN and PLAYER DIRECTION is pure master class.

The game never feels like it's forcing you down one specific path for even many of the mandatory missions. All optional collectibles are accessible from many different direction, subtle hints guide your way too and from every hidden item.

There is just zero friction in finding your own path. Many times I see one fossil or banana I wanna get and suddenly I burst through a wall into a nee cave. Satisfyingly beat the shit out of some enemies and - oh! There's more secrets. Repeat that a few times and like magic you completely naturally seem to always find your way back to the area you started from, zero confusion on where you are and where to go next.

I don't remember the last game that guided a player this instinctively without hindering intuitive traversal of the world, through destructible terrain no less.

Take from that what you will.

>>715780575
Again, you could still get the banana. In games built by people for people, instead of children's toys built for retards, the game would've locked you out of the banana, because you were stupid. You would've sat at the bottom looking up, and gone "well, that was dumb of me".

Sure, you might've had a bit of fun with the more complex execution required to get up there now, but that's the "this game is so boring/this game is so fun" BotW webm in a nutshell.

>>715780701
>I'm not really seeing any actual negative points to the games detriment itt. Just asshurt moping.

A lot of the levels are boring ass caves and some of them are disproportionately short. It would have been cool if they had more levels themed after DKC environments I'm mostly kidding, I'm only up to the Forest Layer right now and did some snooping ahead, but so far the levels have been pretty great. I would have liked more outdoor-looking levels, as abstract as that would be. Some of the areas feel a little monotone

My nephew likes it but it looks way too easy if you're older than like 15

>>715774883

>>715776910
Mostly because bosses are never really talking points in platformers and are usually the weakest parts. Besides that, In Bananza you’ll beat 99% of bosses in about 30 seconds or so. You know the age-old “hit the boss three times” formula Nintendo has practically been synonymous with? Yeah, you now two-cycle bosses. Every fight I’ve fought so far with the exception of a minecart one was a two cycle where you punish one or two lame moves. Astro Bot’s bosses have more going on and actually last a moderate amount of time.

I sat my ass down and played this for 8 hours straight, no liquor, no weed, no discord, just Kong which is something I haven’t done since I first played BoTW nearly a decade ago. The chunk mechanic alone has been more fun than any other platfoming mechanic I can remember, not to mention the cocaine that is roll->jump->roll.
I’m still in disbelief that the director is a Final Fantasy guy because this is the best feeling game I have played in a long time

>>715762558 (OP)
it's fun but the game goes up a solid point or two by muting pauline
idk wtf they were thinking with her voice

>>715782680
>no liquor, no weed, no discord,
:/

I was loving it but I hit the “dual decision” layer and maaaaan I’m kinda disappointed. I know we go to 1600 so knowing a whole layer is wasted on this is lame, I was hoping we wouldn’t have filler layers like when we had filler kingdoms.

It's really fun, but it's weird and more interesting for what it allows the player to do than the challenges it lays out, so a bunch of retards will call it bad game design in ten years.

When people say GOTY, they mean their own GOTY. Nobody gives a shit about the ad awards, they haven't correctly named a GOTY ever.

Hopefully we get something better in the next half of the year.

Current Nintendo isn't really about giving you challenges, it's more just about giving you mechanics to play and experiment with.

>>715787050
Do you want a challenge? No.
Do you want cool places to explore, the best terrain morphing mechanics in a platformer, and a lot of stuff that's fun to mess with? Yes.

Why does every screenshot of this game look like something from an unseen64 article?

>>715789315
I think the content is interesting. It's just not hard to complete. These are not mutually exclusive ideas.

>>715785513
That's a legitimate criticism

>>715789394
looks like every splatoon game

>>715789581
If the content is easy to do then you usually have to go out of your way to make it "interesting" by avoiding the obvious easy solutions, just like TotK. At that point you're just once again fucking around with the systems for their own sake rather than actually using them to solve problems.

>>715789581
>>715790604
For what it's worth I don't think difficulty is the end all be all either, because once you reach a certain level of difficulty the game just becomes looking for the one viable solution rather than discovering one of many, but it does need to offer some measure of resistance against the most braindead, low effort options rather than outright rewarding them.

>>715782680
This so much, sisterino! I'm having a blast too!

>>715790775
A good game offers multiple solutions but they're all difficult. A dogshit game offers lots of options but none of them are interesting.

>>715791114
I'm okay with a game offering easier ways to complete it as long as the difficult route feels rewarding (usually by being faster). Imagine if the fastest run for Mario 64 just involved running in straight lines because any advanced movement just slowed you down. Would that be fun?

>>715791114
you deliberately play the game wrong and then get mad that you had the freedom to do that
I don't know who you think you're convincing with this retarded take, most people don't cheese everything with meta strats because it isn't fun and would only do so as a last resort after repeatedly failing a task.

It's whatever you want it to be

>>715762815
Totk is one of the best games ever made. Totk, Skyrim and MGSV are the only 3 open world games worth playing.

>>715762558 (OP)
5 hours in, I just reached layer 300, its really fun and sandboxy, but not much platforming desu

>>715793858
Its the way to play the game, smashing is addictive despite being "autistic", Ive been doing that for 3 layers, although Im still missing bananas in each one so I have a reasom to get back in the post game

>>715764160
>why the fuck does this board think a game that has a guaranteed spot in GOTY nominees and is the best rated game of the year is GOTY material?
Gee I wonder, you must be very smart anon.
But yeah a full price 10 hours game like DK should obviously win GOTY, this is what the industry needs

>>715796093
Mind you I spent those four hours on sublayer 100. I'm taking my time because I'm so sick of Mario Kart World. It's great to finally have a new game on Switch 2 that isn't Mario Kart

>>715795872

Imagine being a stupid faggot who plays video games for the story and not the gameplay.

Reminder there IS a E33 mandate for 2025.

>>715796443
Why are you crying about 80+ scores?
And what's this meme about E33 buying reviews instead of Nintendo when Nintendo is billions times larger than a new AA french game company

>>715762558 (OP)
Some faggot will make that video no matter what. Zoomers are the most pathetic faggots only playing games that YouTubers approve of. Form your own opinion. DK Bananza is amazing. Only haters will disagree.

>>715796203
It is, and Bananza does bring back some of that 3d collectathon magic ala Banjo mixed with nu Nintendo philosophy design and technology (great use of voxel for the most part). I just wish combat was a bit harder

>>715796719
Worst thing is, most of those have a clickbait title but in the actual video they moderate their criticism

>>715796420
i played it this year for the first time and it's simply not a good game in any facet. it has not aged well because so many games have copied it and do the open world with stealth elements better. so it has an unfinished story and the gameplay is nothing to write home about. it's not worth playing and i'm saying that as someone who marathoned mgs1-5+pw. ground zeroes is legitimately better than tpp.

>>715796443
E33 is literally babies first RPG, like how Baldurs Gate 3 was babies first classic RPG. Notice how nobody talks about those games anymore. Baldurs Gate 3 did not deserve goty.

>max level treasure tie

>smash until I have a bunch of treasure maps and then go hunting
it's fun
my main criticism is how quick boss fights go by. Like I guess there's only so much they can do with "smash block, hit weakspot"
guess it's better than the fight being too long and getting boring

>>715796953
>Notice how nobody talks about those games anymore
Come on now, DK is amazing but no need to lie like this

>>715764756
Yes it is.

>>715796932
Not at all. The controls and mechanical complexity in V are top notch. By far the best gameplay Kojima has ever done.

Since this game came early into Switch 2 lifespan, part of me hopes for a Galaxy 2 situation with Bananza

>>715797237
Donkey Kong is better than both of those games. Even Tears of the Kingdom was better than E33 or BG3 thanks to it's technical wonder.

>Mario Odyssey released
>Best 3D plattforming game since last 3D mario
>Not playable on release on PC only on Switch
>Countless videos how its not a masterpiece

>This instantly stopped the moment the game was emulatable

Same thing here:
Game is only playable with the Switch 2. Retards and poorfags unable to buy a Switch 2 will make videos for other retards who are too poor or stuborn toi buy it saying its not so good so these losers can feel better

>>715764865
Ive played E33 and DS2, and while I enjoyed both, in terms of pure fun I like Bananza more. I wouldnt give it a GOTY award under objective metrics, but only retards actually care about that stuff

>>715797382
We still need Super Mario Galaxy 3, god dammit. 3D World still pisses me off to this day. What a shit excuse for a mainline 3D Mario Game. Nintendo redeemed themselves with Odyssey but Galaxy is still the GOAT.

>>715762558 (OP)
If you like Mario Odyssey and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, this game is for you

>>715797380
as someone that didn't play it when it was new, i'm not seeing it. i legitimately think it's the worst maineline game in the series and i couldn't wait for it to be over. open world with stealth elements games are a dime a dozen and have taken lessons from other games in the 10 years since mgsv came out. mgsv is still held back by the fact it was designed for the ps3/360 when it comes to how the sandbox is designed

>>715797643
Galaxy has arguably the best concept ever used in a Mario game, but movement is lacking, Odyssey fixed that. Also, while I love Galaxy 2, 1 felt like a more consistent package.

>>715762558 (OP)
Completely mogged by E33 like anything out of Japan this century

>>715762558 (OP)
>Is it a serious GOTY contender next to games like DS2, E33 and Split Fiction?

>>715797873
Stfu faggot.

>>715797643
3D World is better than Galaxy. Cuckzumi games will never be good.

>>715797643
3d world > odyssey

>Wokey Kong: Babynanza
>GOTY anything
LOL

>>715798157
As opposed to "Clair Slopcur Transition 33", or "Death Stranding Trivialized: A movie by Xedeo Wokejima"?

>>715798335
Imagine only experiencing gaming through Nintendo's shitty lens, how sad.

>>715799087
But I played the other 2? I guess you could argue Nintendo worked on DS2 so you might be into something there, Shitlock

you do turf surf -> jump -> double jump off of the turf -> roll

Looks good, but I doubt its really a 10.

Will buy when on sale

>>715801163
I'd call it an easy 8, 9 even.

>>715782680
Same but with weed and peanut butter n banana grilled sandwiches. Most fun Ive had this year

>>715801163

So, never

>>715802281
Now I feel stupid.

It weirds me out how some of these bosses are literally only two cycles. Like the Stompenclomper.

>>715779990
i liked the same map. there was enough new shit downstairs that getting to see how the botw world changed between games was fun. felt like the old tourian parts of super metroid but more of them, especially in rito and gerudo areas

this game is so fucking ugly, why does it look like splatoon?

>we want the minecraft audience

>>715762558 (OP)
I was watching IRyS stream it and the game seems like a lot of fun.

>>715762815
Did you play it?
>I've stopped taking anything said about a Nintendo game seriously after Tears of The Kingdom
Do you have a Switch 2?

>>715802897
That one sold a bunch no? Worth chasing that high

all the
>it's really just a 7.5
>it's really just an 8
people are giving you safe numbers the same way they gave safe numbers on this board the first week of Odyssey. you have some people saying it's amazing, and the others are trying to hush them and say instead that it's just good but not great. as usual, people will forget this as the game gets older, and in about 2 years people will say look at the next major platformer and say "well, it's no Bananza"

>>715765259
it's not even better than the game it was built off of

>>715765761
why monkey wear pants

Games pretty fun, Pauline is cute, breaking shit feels super good and is a good stress reliever, I like that Donkey Kong is basically special needs and is barely there, he is there for banana

>>715804538
Because he has a massive cock

>>715769374

does the terrain regenerate if you leave and then come back?

>>715762558 (OP)

If you don’t like Donkey Kong Bananza, then you’re STUPID!

Guess y'all niggas are done spamming now that it's show the game is good.

>>715765123
It's not 80.

It's no masterpiece

>>715805218
No idea. Probably.

>>715775680
Things that totally happened for $800

>>715762558 (OP)
Its very similar to mario odyssey. So its essentially sandbox collectathon.
The terrain being destructible is mostly a novelty you don’t actually need to smash anything more than dirt for any banandium or fossil, at least SO far, I’ve only done the lagoon and pretty much every fossil and banandium was behind a dirt wall.
I MAY have needed to break rock for the whale fossil I guess Idr but I don’t think the devs would softlock your save by forcing you to upgrade your punch to break higher tiers of rock, unless you can just use kong bananza for that since that bananza can break concrete walls

>>715775680
I wish this was true, but I know that it isn't because nowhere in my city has any switch 2 for sale.

>>715762558 (OP)
It's shit >>715805416

>>715762558 (OP)
Its the spiritual successor to Hulk Ultimate Destruction. If you loved that game, Bananza is easily a 10/10. If you don't or were too young for that game, its probably more of an 8/10. Easy goty contender. Hope it beats the frog game.

>>715762558 (OP)
I like when I find a banandium gem and the game goes "OH BANANA". It is a good game.

>>715797917
No that goes to Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition.

>>715762558 (OP)
>E33
More like snooze 33, game is boring as fuck, but I guess that was expected from a le deep turn based rpg. /v/ will say anything is good if it has realistic looking graphics.

>>715808937

It's obviously fine as a game but not worthy of GOTY material
then again the past few years have had some really fucking bad catalogs across the board, Indies are genuinely keeping this media format alive

My brother is married with kids (they look just like him), pushing 40, and loves Nintendo games.

those "games" weren't fun though, which is the purpose of games

Grumpy Kong is related to Lanky Kong.

>>715777803
People who play those games are more likely to make an account on metacritic and just spam 100s
/co/ saw the same thing happen with this lesbian witch cartoon whose only good aspect were that the main females had fuckable designs
When their last episode came out they had a super high number but as time went on and the assumingly fair critics showed up the numbers kept dropping until it was in the 80s

I won't know for sure until ratatoskr tells me my opinion on it, but it's no masterpiece.

>>715762558 (OP)
3 or so levels in and it's okay...? I'm pretty surprised at how easy and fucking aimless it is but the movement and destruction are fun enough so far but I feel like just breaking literally everything until no more bananas in area gameplay isn't going to stay fun.

>>715762558 (OP)
Doesn't matter how good or bad a game is, such videos will be made regardless. It's an inevitability and a certainty at this point. Give it two months, tops.

I mean it looks fun but not $70 fun.
