It has so much more soul than Bananza

And the soul in Bananza is all forced.

Thanks, I'm good.

The tendency among N64 zillennials to defend absolute dogshit games just because they grew up with them and not a PlayStation is a tale as old as time and has done immeasurable damage to video game discourse.

>>715826765
Christ how did rare fuck up so bad here

>>715826363 (OP)
Its so good. I just wish they didn't put this arcade dog shit in it

>>715826927
They knew their games would sell no matter what, so long as they released them on Nintendo.

>>715826765
I'm with you. The obsession with the N64 is such a bizarre phenomenon. I have never seen another group of people so blinded by nostalgia they will praise anything, even a game with level design as dogshit as DK64 that nobody genuinely cares about, as some kind of masterpiece . I seriously think liking the N64 is a sign of mental illness. No other console in history has these insane fanboys who post here.

This would've easily been fixed if they just let you change characters on the fly

>>715827710
It would have revealed the game to be even more hollow and rote than it already is. It needs the tedium to give it purpose, else it's all a farce that only exists to waste your time and not provide an interesting play experience. This is proven by having on the fly switching mods for over a decade now yet the reputation remains unchanged.

>>715826363 (OP)
I'd try this but the fact the draw distance is so bad kills it for me

>>715826765
You're supposed to go do other shit and then come back with Chunky Kong

>>715827958
I choose to play another game.

holy fuck

I played this at McDonald's years ago. 10 mins was enough to let me know it was dogshit.

>>715826927
They learned all the wrong lessons from Kazooie/Tooie.

WHY THE FUCK DID THEY NOT JUST USE TOOIE-STYLE WARP PADS AAAAHH

I don't care if these were 2 mostly different teams. You don't need to know about Tooie'd warps to realize this bananaport system fucking SUCKS ASS. How did this make it to the final release???

DK64 is too good for the average /v/tard

>>715826363 (OP)
I enjoyed it a lot until until I got to this part.

>>715828305
No, it's just a medicore 3D platformer that only stupid Rareniggers care about. If you like this game, it's because you're a moron who grew up with it. That's it.

with the tag anywhere mod it's insanely kino. why couldn't banzana just be dk 64 2

>>715826363 (OP)
I prefer pic rel

>>715828631
yup, too good for the average /v/tard

>>715826765
Cope tranny. DK64 and Banjo sold more than Ape Escape even in Japan. No one cares about PSlopformers

>>715829674
AE is a much better than both those games, along with everything else Japan Studio has touched.

>>715826765
The major problem nobody talks about is it looks so ugly - forget graphics quality, I mean the artistry is missing in this one. BK worlds looked so nice and 'harmonious' you could say. Whereas take a random frame from DK and everything is clashing. Random colors, random scales, random concepts.

>>715830246
Ape Escape was never good and Japan Studio was peak mediocrity. They are lucky From Software allowed their name on Demon's Souls and Bloodborne for just helping with netcode.

Water? Wet.

>>715830276
you say that yet you posted the level which was repurposed FROM banjo

>>715830276
banjo games are also awful looking. Rare had no good artists working at it and merely picked opposite colors on the primary color wheel.

>>715830617
...wherein it looks like this, however

>>715827917
I rented it once and experienced this and just had my jaw hanging open like 'no fucking way' and took it never rented it again. I still can't believe people just talk about it like a normal video game that doesn't have a gaping glaring hole in its fundamental 'video' function

>>715827041
made me absolutely lose my shit

>>715827041
Jetpac is cool too.

>>715828758
Because DK64 is a terrible game that Nintendo rightfully wants to forget outside of the DK rap.

>>715826363 (OP)
I like Bananza more so far.

>>715828140
>Kazooie had actually the closest thing to a perfect balance between a collectathon and a platformer
>Throw it all out of the window with Tooie, bloating that game to oblivion
And people wanted a Threeie, I can imagine you playing kart races os sosme idiotic shit like that with Banjo, then needing to do the same with Kazooie, THEN with Mumbo so you can get all the items...
Anyways both DK64 and Bonanza sucks, end of discussion.

>>715773886
The biggest problem with the character switching in tooie I think is that the characters while unlocked new abilities, they actually became simpler when seperated, but the level design isnt strong enough to make the deficiencies strong enough.

For example. Without Kazooie. Banjo can hop around in his backpack, and while this is a new interaction to avoid hazards like thorns or something. It doesnt actually add anything but an extra step, because Banjo is going to get to the thorns anyways. He just might have to take another route to do so. But route taking in the games isnt even that interesting or engaging because once youve unlocked all the teleport pads, you can already cheat obstacles banjo alone might not be able to deal with somewhat by teleporting around.

If obstacles while seperated were more like puzzles where you had to creatively utilize ALL or even just some of Banjos moveset to solve a problem then it could have been interesting, instead, youre often just taking another more tedious and no less simple path than the path you would naturally take, except that path feels roundabout.

So the gameplay never justifies that length with any sort of increased challenge or obstacle that engages mechanically or intelligently.

I think the only exception is arguably minigames, but I dont even remember how many minigames were banjo or kazooie exclusive. And besides the minigames in the game suck not only because theyre all variations of "shoot at or collect specific coloured things" but also because of the obnoxious way the reticle works in these games where it snaps back to the middle of the screen if you dont hold it in a certain direction.

>>715826765
there is a golden banana for tiny kong there 2 in a hole in the farm fields u are just a massive faggot

Bananza is literally DK64 if it was actually good.

I know I'll get called an elitist for saying this, but if you used the Tag Anywhere mod then you didn't really beat the game. I understand it's convenient, I understand there is no real downside to it, but it just doesn't feel right to use.

>>715830276
>it looks so ugly - forget graphics quality, I mean the artistry is missing

I would say same thing about DKC3 in many cases

Whoever thought the boss doors should be locked behind 4/5 of the final levels bananas should drink bleach

>>715826363 (OP)
This is the worst Rareware game, hands down. Even Jet Force's tribal collecting isn't half as tedious as the intended act of playing DK64. Everything that's wrong with Tooie exemplified with new weaknesses added atop it. Also it's ugly and controls bad.
