Bringit 04/04/17 12:31:12 PM #52:	Burt_Macklin posted... The "negative" reviews don't even say much of anything bad. Did people really want Yooka-Laylee to be some new innovative attempt at a 3D platformer? This is what's confusing me about the reviews. They keep mentioning that gaming has evolved from these games but to what? They don't make these kind of platformers anymore. The more recent Mario titles have gone back to the basics for instance, in a sense they devolved. They're effectively two different genres of platforming so it's just a weird criticism. --- "All will be well." <cite>Bringit posted [p:876518448] in Yooka-Layl...

Just because your game is going for a retro feel you don't have to include all the pratfalls that plagued the retro games you are emulating. You goal when making a retro game should be to take all that we loved about the old genre and make it fresh again by introducing all the innovations that have came since. I don't want an adventure game plagued with dlc, microtransactions and multiplayer modes, thanks. lol I can see now that you only interpret what people say to serve your own means, completely leaving out the rest or necessary context. I give up trying to have a discussion like this lol Because there is no real answer. The genre's been dead for over a decade.

(but for real, even in 2017 that's not an uncommon problem with platformers) No kidding, I fight the camera in breath of the wild about as much as I fight the monsters. It's especially a pain when you're fighting a mob of horseback moblins on foot or a pack of wolves because those sneaky bastards will run off camera and attack you, even worse is when you're in gerudo desert and you hear the music for the Modulga but you don't see it, you don't see anything but it's HP bar, then suddenly like fucking Jaws it pops out of the sand, sends Link sky high and chomps like the giant cheeps in Tiny Huge Island.

darkbuster 04/04/17 1:28:39 PM #79:	Honestly, I kinda expected something along this line. Like with Mighty No. 9 (other issues with the game are not on trial here), I don't think a lot of people fully comprehended that this game was primarily a throwback, & had way too many expectations that weren't even compatible with the objective. This game is a new attempt at a modern 3D platformer. Platformers are mostly an endangered species outside of the Great Nintendo Preserve & the Indie Isles, where they're usually just making blatant knockoffs of classic platformers (so many Super Mario Bros & Mega Man clones out there); the last major "collectathon" style 3D platformer that immediately comes to mind is Super Mario Sunshine, & that game is nearing the 20 year mark. Overall, if you want another game along the lines of Super Mario 64, Banjo, & Spyro, you'll most likely enjoy this. --- Remember kids, it's only an RPG until someone gets hit with a meteor; Then it's a JRPG!

I like his non-review content most of the time, but god damn if I don't disagree with him on nearly every review he puts out. He has very specific tastes, so he can ignore huge flaws to give a game 9/10 if it does something he likes, or nail a game to the cross if it does something on his personal hit list.
