Thread 718330179

The game is a month old today. Have you picked it up yet? Finished it? 100% it?

What things did you like the about the game?

Didn't buy yet too expensive.

>>718330179 (OP)
100%ed it, it's a masterpiece

>>718330179 (OP)
I like the sandbox feel of it.
I ike how every collectable has a proper purpose.
I like the relationship between DK and Pauline.
I'm already replaying it after I 100% the game.

>>718330179 (OP)
Yeah, I finished it. Definitely a 10/10 for me, but it was my 1st DK game. Gonna take a break before coming back to 100% it

>>718330179 (OP)
I'm still playing, shit's long as fuck. Just got the snake bananza and I think I'm over 20 hours in.

>>718330179 (OP)
>What things did you like the about the game?
Not much. From the concept of the layer world, the various species that inhabit the world, Bananzas, having practically nothing in common with the already existing DK world...nothing about the design of the game feels right to me. Destructible environments are cool, but I like when it's done as collateral damage instead of that being the purpose. The voxel shit looks stupid when you destroy it and it defies physics, too. Wish they'd gone with a more traditional DKC.

Also just bananas right out in the open. There's more gripes but you'll all just say I'm a snoy but you really just have low standards for this. Just really not a fan of the game, sorry Nintendo.

>>718333223
Annnnnd here's the Rare snoy.

>>718333496
>rare snoy
Yeah great job retard that doesn't even make sense.

>>718330179 (OP)
Stay in your containment threads. Nobody cares about these baby games.

>>718333223
>Bananzas, having practically nothing in common with the already existing DK world...nothing about the design of the game feels right to me.
These. It's a surreal feel.

>>718330179 (OP)
shant buy a switch 2 for that

>>718333223
This UI and font alone makes me need to puke. Fucking disgusting.

>>718334245
The only thing that feels right is the general movement...the roll, jump, and hand clap (minus the sonar, but suppose you "need" it for the game).

>>718330179 (OP)
lol

I finished it, going for the 100% completion now. It's a good game but I wish the bosses were more fleshed out.
I hope this isn't the last of this type of DK plattformer we get. Wouldn't mind a 2D game with the same mechanics.
I have an idea for a spin-off where DK and Wario competes over who can collect the most gold, Nintendo call me.

I just got the ostrich powerup and I'm too busy laughing at dk airstriking peaceful npc villages to make any progress

>>718334890
>I hope this isn't the last of this type of DK plattformer
it's not a platformer

I have 2 questions:
>Do the duplicate records you get from clearing the post game rehearsals have a purpose?
>I got all 777 bananas, and saw the extra ending picture you get from it. Is there anything you get from maxing out bananas from the chip exchange, like Odyssey adding a top hat to the castle if you buy extra moons to get 1000?

I've got about 100 bananas left and have finished all the rehearsals. It's the best platformer since Mario Odyssey, leagues better than astroslop, but it's also got some of the same problems.

For one, there's just too many collectibles stuck random places that aren't particularly interesting to obtain. The bosses except for K Rool are not only pushovers but just boring. On the good side, just smashing shit and blowing stuff up is fun the whole time. Performance was basically solid the whole time, too, except for the second Void Kong fight where everything just chugs.

>>718330179 (OP)
It's addicting. DKs movements and abilities are extremely satisfying. Most people go the smash everything route but he levels are designed in a way where to can stick to the main paths and only smash things that stand out and you'll find the majority of bananas. 10/10 ending too

>>718333223
>snoy not being disingenuous challenge (impossible)
Those are the bananas you get for defeating the boss they're not just randomly "out in the open"

Obligatory fetus game post

I had fun definitely not a 10/10 I much preferred astro bot

>>718336278
No that's a single banana that was out in the open.

Game is kinda boring and apparently short too. I dropped it for Zelda but might as well play it to completion since I spent $70 on a tech demo.

Where were the giraffe and lion NPCs? Why no giraffe and lion bananza?

>>718335454
>>I got all 777 bananas, and saw the extra ending picture you get from it. Is there anything you get from maxing out bananas from the chip exchange, like Odyssey adding a top hat to the castle if you buy extra moons to get 1000?
1000 bananas changes balloons to balloons with DK's face on it from DKC.

>>718336664

retard

>>718330179 (OP)
Been meaning to get to post-game but been getting caught up in other games

>>718333223
I won’t call you a snoy but I will call you a dishonest fuck, assuming you actually did play it. I will never understand why people feel the need to lie about games they’ve supposedly played.

>>718337178
What did I lie about?

>>718335553
I found that elephant frequently caused slowdowns, especially after getting its postgame ability.

BRAVO SHIGERU

>>718333223
How is the bananza form thing any different than jumping into a barrel and being transformed into a different character?

>>718330179 (OP)
i played like 1 hour

>>718333223
wrong

Im mostly a normie and just bought a Switch 2, first console in literally a decade (outside of a used PS4 exclusively for Bloodborne).
Since getting it Ive played

MKworld (fine, mostly play with my wife)
SMB Wonder (tremendous)
Links Awakening (great but way too easy)
some NSO stuff
Bananza

Of them all Ive played DK the least because, idk, it just hasnt grabbed me yet. Smashing the B button mindlessly wall then slapping the ground constantly for the radar, it's like I can feel my time being wasted and sucked out of me. Few games have made me sit back and legitimately considering what the fuck I was doing with my time.

I never played Odyssey and wish I just got that instead because the environments seem more entertaining. I like the variation. Dk so far feels like a variety of water parks and somehow that also just makes me think I should go the fuck outside.

SMB Wonder on the other hand is the second best 2D mario Ive ever played behind World. But still, its easy, ive played for two days and think Im already halfway done.

I get that Nintendo is for kids and then adults who grew up with it. Its either entry level or nostalgia. Even so, these games are too fucking easy. Maybe it was because I was young but even on replays SNES versions were never this easy and they had better secret zones.

Their side scrolling/top down stuff still feels innovative. Their 3D platforming seems to just be 'heres a sandbox look at all the wacky stuff you can figure out the very simple tasks via a variety of methods'.

As a lifelong Zelda fan I wont touch BoTW or TOTK. Ive tried the first multiple times. Fucking dogshit. And it pisses me off it's so popular because it just ensures Nintendo will never take the time to make good dungeons again. Not when you can make some dumbshit sandbox and MAKE THE SAME FUCKING MAP FOR A SEQUEL. Because making something linear takes actual effort. Anyways thats my fucking soapbox idk.

>>718340051
>I keep using the radar function intended for small children and retards. Why am I not having fun?
No idea, boss.

>>718340051
maybe you might like Tropical Freeze, that is a 2D Donkey Kong

>>718340051
The first few levels are a little too open ended and make it easy to beeline from objective to objective. Later ones have a lot more hard walls to funnel you and force engagement with the mechanics. It never gets particularly difficult until postgame but Odyssey was the same.

>>718330179 (OP)
I just got the elephant power. Amazing game so far.
Can anyone tell me about how far in i am?
Kinda worried I'm close to the end already.

>>718340196
Youre right its way more fun to spend an extra 5 minutes destroying the same colored wall in a circle while meaningless gold shinies splatter me. Just go to a slot machine if you want to hit the same button for a seratonin burst of colors and sounds.

God you people are so genuinely pathetic it infuriates me that I cant see your face to see what sort of pale cromagnon is defending this shit while also cherrypicking conversations and responding with half-assed quips.

>>718340354
Yea I might try it after Wonder but I might just play through the SNES versions. It looks fun but Wonder is filled with sections where you're just blasting through everything and it would be nice to slow down a bit

>>718340358
I think Ill push forward then instead of focusing on 100% for the first few levels, probably getting burnt out

>>718340657
you know that you have a 3D map and the bananas are ordered based on how you're supposed to explore the map? And that you can find the missing bananas very easily most of the times by checking the map. Say you have banana 3 and banana 5, banana 4 will be somewhere in-between those two. No radar needed, no mindless digging needed.
But I guess you weren't smart enough to figure out such a simple mechanic in a "game for kids".

>>718340521
A little over half

>>718339986
What are you talking about, "wrong"?
The part that said
>practically nothing in common with the already existing DK world
That's still accurate.

>>718330179 (OP)
100%ed it and then went back a few days later for a quick non-completion run, I'm no speedrunner but it's an addicting game to go fast in, hopefully it doesn't take another 11 years for Nintendo to make another one

>>718330179 (OP)
Switch 2 only has 2 games.
I'm not picking it up any time soon.

>>718333223
Okay, snoy

>>718330179 (OP)
Finished already, hope they do a sequel.

>>718333223
keep going
you'll really be able to stick it to the tendies once you 100%'d the game

>>718344074
*I'm* a tendie, I'm just not real impressed with the game.

>>718334818
It’s a crazy discovery! The FRACTONES have been around longer than we think and from DKC3 too! The devs really went out swinging with Bananza!

>>718330179 (OP)
I played through it 3 times so far

>>718330179 (OP)
I beat it but had no desire to 100% it like I did with Odyssey.

>>718345398
Unironically though. The game even referenced K. Rool's wife.
There isn't really anything I'd call too obscure for them to have possibly legitimately referenced.

What’s your favorite Fur color? Mines is Monochrome Zebra Kong

>>718330179 (OP)
100% it and loved it. My only gripe was that I thought it needed one more big layer at the end, but I also set myself up expecting such when I got spoiled on the NDC segment and thought it was an entire world rather than a backdrop for the final boss.

>>718336664
>>718337063
If you just book it to the end it's pretty short, yeah. 100%ing it took me 40 hours and it felt very satisfying and never overstayed its welcome.

>>718330179 (OP)
I beat the extra stages but I don't see the point of getting all bananas, since there's no reward or extra boss for that

Do you see this game getting DLC? I remember everyone wanting Odyssey to get DLC but it never did.

>>718333223
GET THOSE TENDIE COCKSUCKERS

Is good gaem

My only complaint is that Heart of Gold needed to play during a final gameplay celebration segment. It was not meant to be a credits theme. It should have played as your scramble up the massive hole with fireworks and all the different layers waving you goodbye on your journey upwards to the surface. I feel like I was robbed of a final kino.

>>718330179 (OP)
Solid 7/10.

>>718351305
The one thing I'll give Odyssey over this is that its postgame was way better. The game really blew its entire load with the (entirely justified) K. Rool wankfest finale and then the postgame is basically just cleanup. Even Harmoneel was underwhelming.
That said given the choice I'd rather they focus on a killer ending than the postgame anyway.

>>718348228
Nah. At best we'll get a couple extra skins for DK/Pauline. Besides, I want them to get started on the next game.

I'm at the final boss. I've been to busy to sit down and finish it though.

>>718347632
Either default or black hair. The metallic ones are cool too

I liked it but have zero motivation to do any postgame stuff. Then again, I felt the same about Odyssey.
There really doesn't have to be hundreds of the core collectible in these games.

>>718354174
You should at least do the Kong rehearsal and some of the arenas in Ingot Isle. The rest of it is whatever, but those felt like the sort of challenge I'd been after for the whole game.

>>718330179 (OP)
>60 hours in Bananza
>10 hours in MK World
this is not how i expected to be using my switch 2

You all really play this kiddie game??

I thought 4chan be 18+ only??

>>718354406
MK World is underwhelming in general but comparing it to Bananza makes it look like a joke
I guess that's the difference between a game that's trying to re-establish a brand vs one that knows it'll sell half a billion copies no matter what
