There is nothing inherently wrong with this game. It really shows

>>376791001
It feels too damn big. It doesn't feel coherent and sometimes it doesn't feel fun.
Yeah I have a shit way of describing my experience so I'll give you my meme score
A 4/7 game.

It's okay. Not amazing, but not terrible. Dumping Jontron was still dumb, though

It's a 8/10 for me atleast.
On my 2nd playthrough and knowing what to do and the level layout makes it much better and fun to play.

>>376791109

You mean too big in terms of just size, or that they filled the world with too little shit to do?

I mean i only unlocked two of those book worlds or whatever they call it so far, but i get around pretty fast with the rolling move

Banjo Kazooie is overrated shit, this is its spiritual sequel. Yooka Laylee is spiritual shit.

>>376791335
Laylee is fucking savage.

I'm tempted to buy it, I need a comfy platformer

>>376791001
I think it would've sold better if it was digital only and going for $20 instead.

What's that? You weren't a backer? Here it is for quadruple the price, fuckface.

>Dumping Jontron was still dumb, though

That was one of the best parts. Jontron is a huge fucking faggot.

>>376793625
Not defending that fat fuck, but it was a bad move.
The game got a lot of bad press after they dropped him, adding the mixed reviews harmed it more.

>>376792572
Im canadian where everything is twice the price, and it still only cost me 41 dollars after the Amazon Prime discount

Yeah this. It's a fairly modern adventure game with depth to it, the nostalgia thing is mostly on the surface.

Anyone else rage at the first boss until you realized that you can stop in the middle of the ramp and then easily jump over the logs?
I was playing it over and over thinking you couldn't stop and it was impossible

Also, I'm only on level 3 yet like 8 hours in.
Too long lmao.

I'm replaying crash and spyro and Gex right now before N Sane trilogy comes out and they are way more fun.

Yeah that exact same thing happened to me. Raged like hell because i thought you have to roll uphill fast or otherwise you slide down.

And i'm like 10 hours in and only unlocked two worlds. But i expanded the first one immediately because i wanted to see what that's like.

Btw,what's with the towers that are mentioned in the beginning? Are they seperate worlds to unlock?

>>376795975
being an utter fuckin racist makes you a /pol/tard

Its an example of why pandering to nostalgia whiners gets you nowhere. This is a 3D platformer from the Rare era with all the strengths and negatives to those games.

The people who funded this game are the type of people who bitch about the good old days yet they haven't put any effort into playing anything from the good old days in almost 20 years. They just ended calling the whole genre outdated while at the same time praising shit like DK64

>Upgrading levels
There is literally nothing stopping you from upgrading them all in one go.

>Stamina system
It's not so bad if you use the livewire tonic until you get to 190 quillies.

>Lack of split up
Why is that a bad thing, given how many people complain about backtracking to the tag barrels in DK64 it amazes me that people then praise the far more sparsely populated split up pads.

>Transformations horrible
I liked the school and the helicopter, but I agree with the others.

>>376796798
I did not bring up "upgrading them all in one go" as a flaw. I was talking about how both the "expanded level" mechanic and the fact that tons of Pagies require movement upgrades to reach, when combined, result in the player wanting to go grab each upgrade from each world first, which ends up being a bit gamebreaking.

Split up could be an excellent mechanic if done properly also.

I recently unlocked the secret tonic.
Don't hear anything even when standing right next to a pagie.
How does it work?

>>376796320
He never really said anything racist though. Besides, he's a nonwhite

>>376791109
It is a 6 out of 10 game.
it has glaring flaws.
I have unlocked all the worlds in their entirety, I stopped after that.
The first world is pretty nice, I hated world 2.
World 2 was too large with too little shit to do and what was available wasn't fun.
World 3 was my favorite world in the game.
World 4 is pathetically bad, World 2 felt pretty empty but World 4 takes it up to a whole new level, You get to fly around as Helicopter-Mcgee through very boring empty casino lobby.
The siderooms of the Casino were alright, maybe the only thing of merit in the Casino world.
Space land was alright,
So if I had to rank the levels, it would be 3,5,1,2,4
But why did the worlds feel so empty? There were so many pointless places you could reach which had nothing interesting there;
The Hub world is kind of confusing to navigate after coming back to the game, especially that one drop down near Bubblegloop Bayou

>>376796990
It doesn't work on pagies, just power extenders, health extenders, and quillies when you have 190 or more.

im about to start playing

any tips or shit i should know

>>376798456
If you can expand worlds to begin with then go for it,
trowzer is the first person you want to find in each world.
the only tonics to really use are the ones to re-gain stamina quicker, and the hunter one
the game doesn't automatically save after each quillie you collect, so if you'e going to turn it off make sure you change something in the options menu before doing so. Especially after swapping tokens for pagies at world 4

i never played banjoo koziee before but i still enjoyed yooka and laylee

only thing that i would like to note is that it could really do without all the self awareness/4th wall breaking

Saying immigration is bad regardless of whether the immigrants culturally assimilate or not is racist. Especially if you imply that immigrants becoming part of the gene pool is bad.

Oh, so we should allow potential rapists and criminals in by the truckload on the off chance that they decide to assimilate and not be fucking crazed terrorists then?

And why the fuck should we let people in that hate our country and want to take over and turn it into their country?

You can screen immigrants without going full closed borders.

>>376799585
You can screen all you want, the real problem is when they do get into the country.

Our gypsies do the same thing to America, they "immigrate there" for a few years and America gives them welfare, they steal shit like credit cards/ electronics and then return home and another part of the family does the same. The laws are tighter now, at least. Thanks for taking care of our gypsy problem, I guess?

>>376799754
>You can screen all you want, the real problem is when they do get into the country.
That's a practical issue rather than a moral one. Again, if immigrants are 100% guaranteed to assimilate, is it a bad idea to let them in?

>tfw I'm the only one loving the casino world
It jsut looked good and at every corner was something to do. Plus the music is dope.
I don't get the hate for this level.

>jontron is the son of armenian immigrants
>he's racist and against immigration per se

However he worded what he was saying, i highly doubt he's legitimately racist. And i'm not a shill (i don't think I've seen one video of his), i'm just using common sense here.

So can we please get back to discussing the game now?

>>376799878
I liked it a lot too, if it weren't for the glitch that's the only level I've 100%-ed, missing 1 pagie in MM, and Hivory Towers, and a few quillies in TT and Galleon galaxy, and an entire area it would seem in Glitterglaze

>>376799863
Nah, if they guarantee to not cause trouble and integrate into society and not riot and demand we convert to their culture, everything is fine.

Just look at Germany and the mass rape incidents, or England and France with the Shariah Law demands. Thank god our country had the balls to tell the refugees to fuck off.

>>376799941
There's a difference between illegal immigration and legal immigration
I'm canadian, and there are tons of illegals coming into the Manitoba border and they are living off of our tax dollars, free housing, free health care.
I've worked my ass off for half my life just to barely scrape by, and these cockroaches are living for free, even though they don't want to assimilate, and just want to destroy the west.

>>376799941
>Tfw grandson of European immigrants that were running from the Russians that escaped the country

If they don't like our country's people and culture or don't want to work, they should be shipped back to their country,

>>376791001
It was shit.

>>376791560
It seems to me like the worlds in Yooka-Laylee are too big yet too small at the same time. Which sounds retarded so I'll explain.

Banjo-Kazooie's worlds were small and focused, while Banjo-Tooie's were big and interconnected. They had different focuses with their level design which made them play very differently, even with the same engine and mechanics. I'd say Banjo-Kazooie is like the 3D equivalent of a standard 2D platformer, while Banjo-Tooie is more like a Metroidvania in 3D.

Yooka-Laylee tries to do something in the middle, with worlds that are bigger than Kazooie's but smaller than Tooie's, which in the end means you got worlds that you can't explore and have barely anything in them. Aka they're boring.

Op here. I'm german, i live in a big city, and there are no cases of mass rape. There was one in cologne on new years night a couple years ago. Tons of immigrants, they're literally everywhere. But the mass rape thing is a false flag.

sooo.. yooka laylee?

>The jontron thing i don't give a damn about really as no one should

Yes, they fucking should. JonTron was a part of a kickstarter goal.

"Give us this much money and we'll get JonTron. Oh wait, he said some things that has nothing to do with our game but upset a bunch of random people. We better remove him even though our fans paid us money to have him in there, cos fuck the people how actually funded the game, we need to pander to the potential buyer in the future. The buyer who most likely don't know who the fuck JonTron is".

I personally never fund kickstarter projects and never will but there is definitely a reason for people to care.

>>376801536
Samefaggin here but Playtonic could've made everyone happy by just making a JonTron voice pack, a free DLC, so people who wanted JonTron could've gotten that and be happy.

i mean, would you even have noticed if it jontron was still in the game? The characters literally go EH UH EH OH EH EH EH EH UH OH EH

Like it doesn't even human at times

>>376801536
It wasn't done a s give us this much money and we'll get Jon Tron, Jon Tron just posted about the KS saying he was stoked, and they offered him a chance to VA in it.

Your solution would work, but I don't see why people complained in the first place, given that his character was drowning in his own shit

>>376802135
Ah, ok. I guess I was misinformed. Thanks for clearing that up, anon.

bump for you OP.
I'm 8 hours in and only on level 3, yet not even close to having 100 percent.
I do enjoy level 3 much more than 1 and 2.
Can't wait to see level 4 and 5

>>376799863
Because overpopluation is a thing and too much can hurt the economy. Immigration issues aren't strictly about whether or not a guy can recite the pledge of allegiance well.

>>376800646
>Yooka-Laylee tries to do something in the middle, with worlds that are bigger than Kazooie's but smaller than Tooie's, which in the end means you got worlds that you can't explore and have barely anything in them. Aka they're boring.

Yeah, I feel that sums them up. The best worlds in Laylee are around the same quality as the weakest in either Banjo game. I never feel like there's any grand thought put into level design. The whole game is like Mumbo's Mountain, Glitter Glutch Mine or Terydactyl Land, but without anything of better quality.

The game has no Freezy Peak, Mad Monster Mansion, Click-Clock Wood, Witchy World, Jolly Rodger's Lagoon or Grunty Industries. There's no point that stands out and wows you and says, hey we have the balls to make something creative and great.

CTR>>>>Spyro 2> Sypro> Crash 2> Spyro 3> Mario 64> Crash 3> Well I don't know the rest becase I was a PS1 guy. Played the shit out of Mario 64 at buddies houses, but none of them had Banjo or DK64.
If this is what banjo was like, then I might be kinda glad I missed out on it.
I'm just playing a bunch of old 3d platformers in anticipation for N Sane Trilogy, which is my most anticipated game since Twisted Metal PS3. Ratchet And Clank Remake was pretty good too.

>>376796603
No, they didn't. YL is really just a mediocre example of the genre that doesn't do anything better than DK64 or Jak and Daxter. This don't prove the genre was 'always' bad, especially since it was the absolute pinnacle of showing the freedom a 3D world can offer prior to what Zelda did.

>>376806714
>If this is what banjo was like

No, Banjo was better than the whole lot of them. Trust me. The final level of BK is my favorite individual level in all vidya. YL does nothing to match it.

>>376797003
>never really said anything racist
Are we having this debate again? He literally said that immigrants shouldn't mix with white genes. He was asked if he was okay with immigrants if they could integrate with the culture and he said "well, yeah, I guess, but then they'd get into the gene-pool, so..." and stopped there probably because he realised just how people would react to a comment like that. Unfortunately, it was a bit too late to stop.

>>376800051
>Nah, if they guarantee to not cause trouble and integrate into society and not riot and demand we convert to their culture, everything is fine.

Yes, and JonTron disagrees with you. He thinks it isn't fine because they would get into our genepool and he doesn't like that. That is why he's undeniably racist.

>>376800051

Ad hominmes are not arguments. And they wouldn't lose shit. The already lost income from the people who didn't buy the game because they took cut content. If they had kept him in some people wouldn't have bought it, sure. But that goes the other way around too. Talk about being blind.

Therefor making a DLC wouldn't lose them ANY income because everyone would be happy. Also NEET clearly doesn't mean what you think it means.
