Current Events > Playing through DK64

(+) Yeah! (+)

This game kicks ass. I heard a lot of people don't like it but i don't get it. It's top tier Rare, top tier N64, top tier platforming. What's not to love. Technically impressive too for 1999. Feels like it shouldn't be this pretty and big

It's fine as long as you don't try to 100% it. It gets bad if you do that.

You mean some of the collectibles are hard to get?

It's not hard to get just takes really long to get them. No guide as well makes it much more difficult to get.

My condolences.

Nah, I did 100% not too long ago. The worst things are:

1) The Nintendo coin for the Donkey Kong game.
2) Finding the last jetpack bananas with Diddy Kong.
3) That fucking beetle when you race him with Tiny.
4) That dumbass rabbit.
5) Picking up blueprints and sitting through the blueprint banana animations.

But I do agree that the experience would be greatly enhanced if:
A) Change characters anywhere and/or
B) Bananas/coins were universal pickups.

I did the beetle race the other night. Pretty tough. I had 51 coins and had to get in front of the beetle so he would push me across the finish line instead of passing me

---

Meh, I'd rather play Mario 64 or either of the Banjo Kazooie games. They do the same game and do it better.

My dad was a arcade hero back in the day and beat the games for me lol.

I have no idea why Donkey Kong was so fucking hard for me on that game

Nowadays I can damn near speed run it

---

It becomes a hateful slog that is devoid of entertainment and instead more of a burden.

I liked it back then but am unsure if I would like it now

i remember struggling on that ******* cardboard boss

I refuse to believe TC is being legit here

I completely blocked out Beaver Bother until I was watching an LP of it ages ago, and just the mere sound of those damned gnawties filled me with rage.
Basically, Rare padded out that game with a lot of lame "press button here, get banana" type things, a lot more that are just uninspired or repetitive(it feels like at least half of Tiny's are gotten by shrinking, for example) and a handful which are just utter BS(Beaver F**** Bother).
There are plenty of bananas that are actually fun to get though, so again, it's perfectly fine unless you force yourself to endure the dumb, boring, and/or outright bad ones.

Haha, I forgot about Beaver Bother. On my last playthrough, I was frustrated so I looked up tips. There is apparently a consistent way to get those beavers into the hole which I used and beat the minigames fairly quickly.
