I will not stand for faggots trying to astroturf a thoroughly mediocre game like DK64 just to spite Bananza.
>Reddit opinon
Nah fuck off. I was tepid on DK64 back in 1999 when it came out. Worse game than both Banjos and SM64.

Kambodian shilling agency drone, right? For the onlooker, I'll say there's no sense in buying the shiny new toy if it's not a good value and the company making it openly sees you as nothing but a wallet to gouge. Doesn't matter if you have $1,000 in the bank or $1,000,000. Nintendo has gone to pot without Iwata and Reggie, the people who run the show now hate us, we just need to accept that and move on if we want to retain a semblance of human dignity.

I think the music in 64 is better than Banaza, but gameplay not so much.

I 101%'d DK64 4 times...I know loser blah blah, and haven't played in a while. Mostly I'm afraid to damage my n64 when I dust it off. I took it out to play castlevania 64 a couple years, and procrastinated putting it back in a closed bin where it would be protected from dust. I just may do it though, just because you accused a fellow DK64 enjoyer of not playing it a couple months back.

And? What does that have to do with bananas being made out of rocks in bananza while previous games had edible looking bananas?

Try watching friends or big bang theory without a laugh track. Super mario "wonder" doesn't cause wonder, just like a laugh track doesn't make big bang theory funny, but dumb people still laugh with the laugh track Wonder is a shitty game, and its name is nintendo trying to tell you how to feel, similar to the inclusion of a laugh track in shitty sitcoms trying to tell people when they should laugh.nkmjtr

I 101%'d DK64 somewhere around 8 times, and no, it fucking sucks and feels like a chore to do much of anything. The game would be, and is better, without the all-too-common Bonus Barrels. They don't even qualify as bonuses if you already did everything that would otherwise result in you getting a Golden Banana, and all they give you is a bad minigame that nets you a Golden Banana. And all hints of challenge with enemies in general is out the window the instant you unlock instruments. The arenas are also abysmal wastes of time where you just stall the clock out at worst and just do a running B into the enemies over and over at best. And the unlockable moves don't feel rewarding to do by and large and essentially add nothing but another way to push a button to receive a Golden Banana. Wow, DK gets to pull a lever (push a button). Wow, Diddy gets to give himself a concussion (push a button). Wow, Chunky gets to turn invisible, and all it really does is let him push a button outside of that one cabin in Crystal Caves where he had to think a little. Wow, DK gets to turn into Rambi, but only in this tiny area where he breaks a wall and some huts that literally just reveal buttons to push, and some bananas.
Meanwhile with Bananza, I felt my repertoire to engage with the environment expand greatly with each Bananza that's unlocked. And each bonus challenge felt like it either made a good introduction to or a different spin on enemy or terrain types. Each layer brought something new to the table, and the post-game Bananza Rehearsals got good mileage out of all sorts of things. Many Golden Bananas felt redundant, but each Skill Point felt like it mattered more than each Golden Banana after the 100th in DK64. And I actually had to think a little to solve some puzzles in Bananza, which feels crazy to say, but I don't see anything stretching my brain in DK64 ever. The Elephant Bananza Rehearsal alone mogs DK64's memory games and "count to 20" puzzles.

DK64 is a video game crafted by humans who wanted to make an awe-inspiring gameplay experience. Bananza is young Nintendo JP employees desperately trying to copy their betters from Mario games of decades past (Odyssey itself among them, tragically!)

What are you on about? The Banandium Gems are absolutely edible. They're crystallized, but you'd be retarded if you said rock candy was inedible. Then you have DK64's Golden Bananas, which do not look appetizing.

I think you're literally a sperg if you think a name is equivalent to a laugh track. You'd probably throw a fit if you actually played DK64 and heard the live studio audience.

>play the randomizer
>which can't be assed to let you buy upgrades from the first level in any level after that
Even without the randomizer stuff active, I sure love unlocking Chunky and having to go back to Jungle Japes so he can have his gun, then to Angry Aztec so he can have his instrument. Also, having a lot of soulful things like Kosha in Crystal Caves, the Bananaport animation, and the Golden Banana get animation all being disabled by default feels dumb as it just caters to speedrunner fags.

Literally the most soulless collectathon ever. The original ubislop game, and the game that soured their relationship with Nintendo enough that Nintendo didn't try to counter offer Microsoft to buy Rare. Just a disaster in every sense of the word.

I wouldn't say it was that bad. But it is definitely bloated and did not need that many bonus barrels, especially all the ones where you already completed enough tasks to otherwise earn the GB.

This fucking game was patient zero for the soulless 'minigame dimension' shit that plagues modern Nintendo games nowadays.

>be on a whimsical but sinister toy factory
>oh my, a minigame barrel! I wonder what sort of themed trial I will have to undertake to get a golden banana. Perhaps assembling toy robots? Avoiding big jack-in-the-boxes being dropped on me? Collecting cogs and gears?
