This with all due respect might be the single most revisionist comment I've ever seen on this site. DK64's naysayers mainly bubbled well after launch, mainly from what I can tell because of a few YouTubers who have come out in the past couple years saying they didn't like the game. It received nearly identical scores to both Banjo games from most major publications, and still has a big following online today. You may as well be saying that nobody ever liked Crash 2!
OT: I've been saying since Odyssey launched, the fact that DK himself never appears in his 3D form in the game, while Diddy for some reason had an in-game costume, screams to me that there's another DK game on the way. That they went all in on referencing the entire series EXCEPT for modern Kong himself just makes me think a 3D DK is gonna be a 2018-2019 surprise. |
All Crash games are shit, I sincerly mean that, fuck that series. DK64 isn't bad as a game but it's a terrible Donkey Kong. I know nothing about Youtube not liking an old game. It was hated then when it came out,I remember the backlash in 99 and has always been there. This isn't Zelda CDi where the internet found out after AVGN. Recent interviews with the devs have said its not a game they feel went very werll. So what if it scored same review scores. Many things get good review scores but hated by fans. Some things just get great reviews on Brand and Studio attached. Skyward Sword got great reviews but is least liked 3D Zelda by so many. Much like Mario Sunshine. Banjo is irrelevant to the convo. Oh and Yooka showed people liked the idea of a new Banjo more than actually having one since that type of gameplay hasn't aged well at all. BTW I still own both on N64.
