Whats the /v/eredict?
Is it a significant enough improvement over the original to justify buying it again?

>>723236689 (OP)
hell no

>>723236689 (OP)
What does the spine look like?

They didn't rebuild the game from the ground up, so no.
>worlds are still generic
>enemies are still generic
>most bosses are still walls or attached to walls
>combat still has no weight to it
>retarded quizzes lacking the appeal that Grunty's Furnace Fun and even Tower of Tragedy had are still in
>the unfun minecart sections are still in
>soundtrack is still forgettable despite the pedigree of its composers

>>723236983

You didn't play the game

lmao

This game made my wife a homosexual

No the original is fine

>>723237128
>>723237175
They cut them? I didn't know because I didn't buy a "remake" of a shit game lmao

Shill thread. Not an ad because no one is going to buy this shit for a third time

>>723237309
They moved the quizzes. It's still true though, the worlds are generic and dull, the enemies are still boring imp things, the bosses are mostly walls with faces, the combat is still limp and the minigames like carting and Rextro's slow ass puzzle game aren't very good. Bleh.

>>723237401
I'm pretty sure Playtonic markets here, it's not super subtle.

>>723236689 (OP)
It's good

>>723238420
Hi kirby shill

>I'm pretty sure Playtonic markets here, it's not super subtle.
Yeah there has been nonstop threads about this shit despite most people here not liking the game.

>>723236689 (OP)
Rareware games were only good when they were told what to do by Nintendo. I don't want to subject myself to a game where I already know every collectible Golden Dildo will be gatekept by some series of mind numbing menial tasks, and that's 90% of the game.

>>723238420
i keep seeing very similarly phrased replies in these recent replaylee threads how the game is fixed now. when i dump on the games in these threads, people are never able to reply to my criticism with actual arguments. same thing happened when i was arguing why i didnt like TIL here. i find that very interesting.

>>723238604
that first thread is me. you can assume that any OP that shits on the game so openly is me. i hate this series and playtonic with a passion and i wish they'd stop shilling replaylee and TIL here already. its very obvious

>>723238604
>most people here not liking the game
Its /v/s GOTY

>>723236689 (OP)

It’s “better” but it doesn’t feel like a Rare-inspired platformer anymore. It’s now just Mario Odyssey at home.

>>723238767
>same thing happened when i was arguing why i didnt like TIL here
when the game came out, i mean.

fun story: i said TIL was shitty in part because it was really buggy and unpolished and i encountered a lot of bugs. someone said i was lying, works on my pc yada yada. so i started posting footage of clips i recorded of the game breaking and i was accused by several anons of intentionally trying to break the game. either that's a shill, or someone with his head shoved way way into his ass, and i find it very hard to believe that this mediocre slop series would have such dedicated fans even on /v/

>>723238683
That’s the entire genre. I loved these games as a 10 year old but I don’t even understand how a grown man can stay engaged by this shit, Nintendo or otherwise.

>>723238767
It doesn't fix the fundamental issues the game has. The levels still get progressively worse after the swamp, they made combat more mindless (enemies take more damage, but you lock them in place with your practically invulnerable spin which you're now encouraged to spam), Kartos' track design wasn't altered so you still get dull slogs gathering gems with bad camera angles, and their solution to empty space was to dump filler pagies everywhere+add fast travel. Now the game showers you with fucking pagies and since you have all your moves unlocked from the start, the number ultimately means nothing. Imagine if every fucking Jinjo in Banjo-Kazooie gave you a jiggy and then when you get the last one, you get THREE MORE jiggies. That's what they did to the Ghost Writers.

But you already fucking know this. Don't bullshit me by saying you hate the game because you're clearly dismissing all criticism posted which is why nobody is taking the threads seriously at this point.

>>723236689 (OP)
Not buying this shit until it has a 60 fps mode for switch 2. Completely unacceptable.

>>723239165
what? did you reply to the wrong post or something, because i dont disagree with everything you said. i played the demo and looked up footage alone and it just feels like they took the game and turned it from a bad banjo clone into a bland mario odyssey clone, no fucking thanks.

kinda baffled how people are saying the game is fixed now. some of it was, like at least you wont fight with the controls or camera anymore, but its still a soulless uninspired game. if anything the fixes make it more obvious that the platforming and exploring just arent very engaging.

Vinny loved it and is planning a full playthrough, it's /v/ certified now.

>no changes to world design
>rewrite the plot because that was totally a big issue with the original
>framerate drops, audio glitches, tearing on all platforms, not even a consistent 30FPS on Switch
>crashes more than the original
>characters can desync from animations during cutscenes
>instead of making a handful of fun Rextro minigames to replace the original shitty ones, they just copy Captain Toad and split it up as separate games
>they made the bosses easier for some reason
>pagies became Odyssey's moons so now they're everywhere despite the game not even needing a large amount to get to the end
>pirate treasure still does nothing AND they made them easier to find because....because
Also, I love how there's so little stuff to actually show about the game that the trailer flat out has part of the ending in it.

>>723239485
Unfortunately, Vinny's practically a senior citizen now, so he'll like anything that resembles his childhood.

>>723239735
..and yet, it's fun.

>>723239840
No, not really.

>>723239485

Hate this fucking "awe shucks guys" attitude the devs are trying to give this game like it's some underappreciated gem born in le wrong generation. There are a myriad of very glaring issues that a collecthon platformer made by people who apparently know what they're doing just shouldn't have. And this "remake" that just shakes the snow globe tells me the devs should tongue my anus.

>>723237309
you seemed pretty sure of yourself regarding what was or wasn’t included in the remake. Stop talking about games you haven’t even played

The original YL was fucking trash. Impossible Lair was pretty good. I don’t care to buy the remake

>>723236689 (OP)
It wasn't worth buying the first time

>>723238821
didn’t they remove the BK style font and text boxes during character conversation as well? The game was already pretty soulless but the remake is like anti soul

>>723236689 (OP)
>Buying it again
I dunno about that. It IS worth buying if you never played the original though.

>>723240807
The original is so mediocre I think it's worth atleast pirating it if you own the original

>>723240130
none of those are me. here are my posts in case you were curious

>>723240749
The text box change is good. The game should have SOME of it's own identity, not just completely copy Banjo beat for beat.

“totally not” Rare had been trying to make “totally not” Banjo Kazooie for over a decade. Sad.

>>723240876
>none of those are me
Yeah, you're just sticking around for no reason and typing the same way every time. Okay, dude.

Why did you fags lie and say that replaylee no longer has the gibberish voices anymore?

I haven’t played BK in like 15 years yet can hum the tune to almost every level. I played YL back on release (2015?) and can’t tell you how a single song goes

>>723240749
>>723240934
>changes the text boxes and portraits
>they look completely different from the rest of the game
>cut down the Banjo gibberish to a few sound effects instead of UH UH UH UH the entire sentence
>this ironically makes Yooka-Replaylee more like Nuts & Bolts which did the same thing with its dialogue
Yooka-Laylee has an identity crisis.

>>723240939
it’s pathetic how instead of making “totally not” jet force gemini or “totally not” perfect dark they spent almost 10 years remaking on this shit nobody liked in the first place

>>723238767
thats because nobody cares enough and they just repeat what they heard on a youtube video

>>723236689 (OP)
My biggest problem with this game is simply that I don't like the way the titular main characters look. Designing characters who look kind of bland or lame is simply not interesting. Mario is not exactly the coolest platformer character but he makes up in being iconic and Mario rescued console gaming from failing so him being a fat midget Italian stereotype is excusable.

Characters like Banjo Kazooie on the other hand not so much and Yooka Laylee simply come across as derivative knock offs . First rule of character design make your characters appealing.

>>723241148
meanwhile the main menu is so fucking dull and bland now. replaylee definitely has an identity crisis

>>723241510
NOOOOOOO DELETE THIS

>>723241510
>slap in a bunch of low effort collectibles
>slap on some grass and ugly fur on laylee
>make the controls and camera tolerable
>game is "COMPLETELY FIXED" now

Gamers are such retards.

>>723241510
looks like playtonic HIRED THAT MAN

>>723242542
I hate how Yooka and Laylee look now but the environments don't look bad. The tech isn't great though, the LOD feels a bit too aggressive and the AA leaves a lot to be desired, lots of shimmering and shadows disappear when you collect a Pagie for some reason.

So while I think the new visuals were the most accomplished part of Replaylee it also was the least necessary. The original looked mostly fine. The gameplay changes were ironically the most needed yet least good thing about it.

>>723243179
she looks like a sesame street muppet

>>723243643
No, those look charming. I feel Laylee's detailed fur looks bad, it makes her look shaggy, it's fucky with dark lighting and her big ugly red nose is distracting. I also don't like her body shapes, but that might be getting into nitpicking territory.

>>723243179
>AA leaves a lot to be desired
there's no DLAA? wtf

>>723245337
The graphical options in Replaylee are very lacking. I don't know what kind of AA it uses, but Unity has FXAA, SMAA aand TAA implemented by default and you can't change which type it is or even the antialiasing level which is a super fucking easy to implement.

>market your 3d platformer by going HEY LOOK WERE THE OLD RARE GUYS WERE MAKING A NEW BANJO
>game comes out and has no identity beyond "not Banjo" but everybody focuses on shit like bad controls, bad camera and shitty levels
>new yooka game comes out, which they claim isnt inspired by DKC but clearly is to the point of shamelessly ripping off several levels from the new games you didnt work on
>series is now the bootleg rare game franchise, nobody even plays TIL because everyone who saw it just immediately thought "oh its gonna be a bad dkc clone"
>make a remake of your 3d platformer by HIRING THAT MAN to do the visuals and making it rip off odyssey instead
>franchise now has zero fucking identity left, its just "let's just rip off any good game we can think of"

Is it any wonder Replaylee is flying under the radar? What's there to get excited about? They might do a racer next, but like Who even cares? They'll probably rip off Mario Kart 8's anti-gravity and/or Crossworlds' mechanic instead of just making a game with its own identity because that's what they always do, throw a bunch of unrelated mechanics from better games together and then make a bunch of jokes about how much their games suck ass.
