Nobody WANTED Rare to change it up though, that's whole freaking point. We wanted an awesome game like the old Banjo Kazooie. Instead we get vehicle-based missions, and I can't believe I have to repeat myself for like, the fifth time.

We're not saying the game will bomb or end up with a horrible score...we're saying it's not what we wanted, ok? I'm sure we'll live through it, but there's nothing wrong with being disappointed with Rare's decision to completely screw with the Banjo formula.
That only works on an individual person basis. As a site however, we look like giant hypocrites. With Banjo we just wanted a convential safe platformer, but with GTAIV we're bitching it is the same old same old and it should be rehauled. The point is, Rare can't please everyone, so they should just make the game they're passionate about, which is a vehicle based platformer. I'm less concerned with what I expected to see from this game and am more excited about every publication walking out of England saying "Rare is back, this vehicle game is a new breed of platformer and this game absolutely rocks!". If someone walked out of there questioning the quality and/or direction I would be a bit worried myself, but everyone in the press is behind this game since playing it. That's good enough for me. If it were up to us internet folk, nothing would ever change in gaming.

 


UGH, that's because we've had, what, 3 GTA games on the PS2, along with the two PSP games which got ported back to the PS2? All of these games were improvements of the last, nothing radically different. And GTA4 was the next step, many improvements, nothing radically different though.

We had TWO Banjo Kazooie games, and they were just like each other, and that was back in the late 90s on the N64. It's been a decade, we DON'T NEED something different...almost everybody wanted something like the old Banjo. This game could go well and could be received well, by me even. But it's not a true Banjo game, and I still want one.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
