Yooka-Laylee

Just me who think it's actually fun and actually a decent game?
I got it as a birthday gift and I was nervous that it would ruin my memories of 90's platformers but I'm actually having a really good time.

just return it and get something better than that garbage.

It was doomed to be recieved the way it was. With that said I really enjoy the game but DK64 is my favorite in the series so take that for what you will.

i dont hate it, but the level design is meh
its just huge for the sake of being huge
its like they didn't listen to banjo tooie complaints

What was wrong with Banjo-Tooie? I loved that game, just like BK and DK64. The amusement park level is among my all-time favourites.

It's nothing to ECH about.

I think its absolutely terrible. Its the worst shit from kazooie/tooie and nuts and bolts combined into one shallow cash in

The levels are far larger than they need to be. Combine this with the split up pad (meaning that you often have to backtrack to a split up pad and then work your way back to wherever you were before, but this time walking at a snail's pace with Banjo alone) and having to backtrack to other levels to complete a single level and it becomes a chore at times. The game fixed some of BK's issues but it introduced a bunch of other issues as well.

It's fucking shit.

Stop the presses.

not him but it truly believed in this project because the people in charge should have known their shit

i mean you cant give talented people with a good track record money to produce games then who can you give it to?

>>Butterflies can be accidentally gathered even if power is full
>>Garbage camera insists on turning with the player even if the player is trying to turn it some other way
These are the only two that make sense. Everything else is subjectively retarded.

>>Unskippable cutscenes/dialogue
LOL

not only you, but most people that enjoy objectively good gameplay

the people shitting on it are either extremely underage, or don't know what good gameplay is and are mainly cowadoody fanboys

Rocket Robot on Wheels is the greatest collect a thon ever, this is trash.

>>Those disgusting arcade games

I only played the one in the first level so far but holy shit I hope it's not the same arcade game every time.
I am so fucking bad at these birdsview arcade racers. It was a nightmare playing through that.

There are other things wrong with it too... The way "aiming mode" is handled is fucking awful. The old "movement stick to look around" method is just so bad, I understand it's a wink to the old N64 games (and Mario Sunshine) but it's frustrating. If you really wanted to include it, there should have been a keybinding menu.

Which there isn't. Which is also inexcusable.

And yes, the levels are too big. It's not as bad as it was in Tooie because you have a pretty decent high-speed movement ability in the roll, but tying that to a stamina bar was a bad choice.

Also the parts in the game that rely on the tongue power to move around via hooks or whatever are terrible because the game's auto-aim system for detecting hooks and attaching to them is wonky as fuck. If you're gonna put those in a platformer they have to be PERFECT, nothing is worse than making a jump and just not getting that hook connection because lol line trace failure.

The camera is fucking atrocious. Like it genuinely might be worse than SM64. There are a bunch of smaller shit that drive me crazy like the ass camera, not quit option from the main menu (it's hidden in options for some nonsensical reason), the game doesn't save often, and when you fall into pits, you spawn to the nearest entrance instead of right where you fell. Sometimes that doesn't really matter, but other times it's actually a trek.

>when you fall into pits, you spawn to the nearest entrance instead of right where you fell
No, you spawn at the last place the level loaded, because you died and have to try again.

No platformer in the history of platformers EVER spawned you right next to the pit you fell into, that would be stupid.

The game has its flaws but come on, it's obviously going to punish you a little bit for dying.

It's a pale imitation

>No platformer in the history of platformers EVER spawned you right next to the pit you fell into, that would be stupid.
Bait?

I fully expect to get penalized and lose a butterfly, but when I constantly get assfucked by the camera deciding to swap on me, it gets really fucking old.

it sucks

Let me save you people money:

^ all of David Wise's tracks.

Now you don't have to play the game.

trust me

His complaints on the minecart and arcade retro games are spot on

Those were two of the most painful recurring elements, and the camera didn't even bother me that much honestly

Bosses were underwhelming though and good fucking luck finding the one in the space level.

oh I didn't know David Wise contributed anything.

>Stop liking this game! Sup Forums told me it's bad!
Neo Sup Forums is actually fucking cancer.

People were busy talking about politics and youtubers.
The game is actually good and the music is superb as expected.

YOU ACT LIKE I DIDN'T FUCKING PLAY THE GAME

I BEAT IT EARLIER TODAY

AND GUESS WHAT BUTTERCUP (it sucks)

I even finished posting a review on steam.

Why did you play a game you thought sucked?

It's not like I knew it would be bad before I started, and the first level is half decent but it quickly tapers off

I bought it so I beat it

I finished my backlog so it's not like I was gonna quit like a bitch, plus maybe it'd get better by the end. Nope.

He has to get his money's worth.

Mario 64 kicks you out of the entire level when you fall in a pit. Both Banjo games warp you back to the level start.

I totally believe you.

Specify which part you don't believe

I can post my review if you want but then you'll just claim that I ripped it off of someone else

I can post a screenshot of me in the game, what do you want from me?

>don't play the game
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S SHIT YOU DIDN'T PLAY IT
>play the game briefly, then give it up in frustration
YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT A CHANCE IT GETS BETTER
>play the game through to the end, then say "yep, it was shit"
WELL IF IT WAS SO SHITTY WHYD YOU PLAY THE WHOLE THING

This is my least favorite thing Sup Forums does.

It's more like DK64 than Banjo.

I'm the guy you replied to and I agree.

I'm glad you enjoyed it OP.
I don't know why, i resisted hype until the very end only to give in and be sorely disappointed...

i'll probably get it when its at the lowest of its price. just by watching gameplay videos i know i can enjoy something out of it. i'm a sucker for these kinds of games.

iffy level design
terrible sound design
ok gameplay and mechanics

Starved for a game like YL, some bad things about it but overall it scratches the itch. And it's not full price so it's pretty fair.

youtube.com/watch?v=ZNSMsMxpr2Y

Just pirate it.
Devs/publishers are douchebags anyway and got shit tonnes of free money from e-begging on kikestarter.

>Just me who think
No, you clearly don't.

666 files. This game is evil

>have a good time for 90% of the game
>arcade games are fucking dreadful and some collectibles are tedious, but that's ok I guess
>quizzes are pretty fun, actually
>make it to final boss
>lose to first phase
>lose to second phase
>lose to fourth phase
>lose to sixth phase
>every time you think it ends, it's just another phase of the fight

>mfw

That's a Rare final boss right there, takes forever.

this one doesn't drop any HP, though

I feel they managed to do a 2017 version of all the 3D knockoffs that were on the 64 of Mario64 and Kazooie

Like Glover or Chamaleon Twist

>an new game will ruin old memories
Fucking how?

Anyway, I've found it to be decent. Fluid, thight controls and I do enjoy the dialouge/humour

>Glover
that overworld with the destroyed castle and spooky sounds scared the shit out of me when i was a kid

Its a good game getting unfairly shat on for various reasons, its actually a pretty charming game.

Divide the likes from dislikes on steam and it's basically an 8.6/10

>only five worlds

what were they thinking

The levels are split into two halves, so it's effectively 10 levels, but they didn't have enough budget/time/creativity to make 10 distinct themes.

Is this the epic new Mighty Numero 9 fiasco?????

Feels good that Nuts & Bolts is the better game. Eat shit Rareware drones

Its an indie game by industry pros who understand time and budget constraints. If they did more the game wouldve ended up like mn9 and 3.3 million

>but they didn't have enough budget
kek

If that makes you sleep at night, sure. It's nowhere near as bad. They actually fulfilled all their kickstarter stretch goals, except the one with DLC, because they didn't want to have day 1 dlc

more like the clustered their game in shit no one cares about to cut shit people wanted

I sense people who are saying this are going for maximum shitpost score. Unless you can substantiate why Nuts & Bolts is the best BK.

>Its an indie game by industry pros who understand time and budget constraints

oh fuck off its never been easier to produce and they didnt even have to waste time on inhouse engine

I zoned out for all the dialogue and came to the stupid duck quiz unprepared. I also paid no attention to what I collected because why would I? I was trying to speed up the slow as fuck dialogue mashing A and would end up selecting the first and potentially wrong answer. In between every question the fucking duck makes meme garbage diarrhea commentary. It took me 4 tries which just made me feel dead. That has nothing to do with platforming and the make a meta joke about it being a waste of time.

>How many feathers have you collected?

I don't fucking know, I just ran around picking the up.

>How long have you been playing?

How the fuck should I know?

This bullshit you get wrong once because you can check before hand after failing. No skill involved. Then again it is a baby game.

The quiz is like the rest of the game, a tedious waste of time.

i fully believe that this is the reason they pulled the sjw because they knew that their game was shit and needed something to overshadow the backlash

>waste of time
Sounds like vidya to me.

or work

>It took me 4 tries
>4 tries
>for the braindead easy quiz

are you retarded?

Nope. It's quite decent, probably a 7/10 on the level with other generic/not awesome platformers from back in the day like Rayman 2 and Psychonauts

but it wasn't your usual 100k kickstarter RPG maker game, they pledged like what 2 mln? thats a lot of money for a platformer.

It's a 90s mascot platformer warts and all, though somehow slightly more charmless then Banjo Kazooie. Maybe it's because most of the characters are just not that memorable. Yooka is basically just an even more bland Banjo.

>calls it a baby game
>fails for an easy as fuck quiz

banjo wasnt bland he worse a jack off crystal

That vending machine character is ugly and I hate her.

Did you read it? I was mindlessly playing the game and it throws me into a quiz that requires you to know stats. You are able to check your stats but just rolling into this quiz, mashing A to try and skip the slow scrolling diarrhea voice overs, I fucked up 3 times. I got nearly all of them right on the first try except shit like stats, the name of the fucking Knight who rides a horse who you don't meet. I almost got a few wrong because I wasn't paying close attention to character names such as the Duke. I registered him as a shit head meme Lord in a hat.

I was embarrassed a bit, sure. However the game knew this was bullshit and a waste of time and they kept it anyway.

no wonder since shes a slave era nigger reference

>Reading comprehension

Is it wrong to be attracted to Trowser? It's his eyes, man.

Are you 14 where these kinds of things upset you?

It's my GOTY so far. Very fun and all the complaints I see about it are completely superficial.

T. Fucking idiot who thinks art assets are free and grow on trees

woah there, the game is not as shit as reviewers said it is but GOTY has got to be bait

T. Someone who has played both BK, BT, Conker and DK 64 and loved them all.

>oh fuck off its never been easier to produce
you're retarded and have no clue

>He dislikes poor game design!

Must be a child. Obviously so, right?

I am very critical of game design because, you know, game design is what a game is about.

keyword: "my", friend

>when you're so braindead a kids game quizz causes you trouble

IMO the worlds feel really big, though really empty. Like it feels like the kind of giant map where there's just things plopped everywhere to do and it doesn't feel "natural."
But honestly I think that just comes with the game being made in Unity.

ok, then I have to ask what games have you played so far that could be contenders

I'm loving it. Super vibrant atmospheres with the same charm I loved in Banjo Kazooie. The moveset is pretty fun too. Only real gripe I have is the camera at times, but I just hold that continuous tracking button when it becomes an issue.

>tfw literal braindeads browse Sup Forums right now

>When you don't read

RE7 and Snake Pass. Nothing else caught my eye, I mostly play old games these years.
RE7 was cool but can't compare to the old RE games 1-3, Snake Pass was a novelty for a while but after half an hour you see everything the game has to offer.

Good one ;)

>excuses excuses excuses
>damage control
stick to candy crush friend YL is too complicated for you

>fitgirl
I really hope you like malware user.

ah, um yeah the only ones that stood out to me are Zelda BOTW, Persona 5, Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn and also RE7 and yeah it wasn't as good as the classic games by a long shot however no RE game could ever beat RE 4 though.

I also played Yakuza 0 and yooka laylee but they never stood out to me enough to warrant GOTY for me, they are still pretty good games though imo.

I also need to play snake pass

Hahahaha! :) Great meme!

>I-I wasn't paying enough attention to the game to pass the quiz, it's not my fault!
>I'm not stupid, you're stupid. read my post again I said I wasn't paying attention

dumb Sup Forumsirgin

Nice one!

nice job failing at an extremely forgiving quiz in a kids game.
