What the h*ck went wrong?

More like what the ech went wrong.

Not enough lewds were made.

Platformers are nostalgiabait and little else. I enjoyed Banjo kazooie and bad fur day when they were released because I was young. But replaying them now, I can't help but get bored quickly. It's a dead genre because everyone grew up

The character designs are terrible, why does the bat have a big red nose glued to it's face?

It was made by a bunch of college interns posing as longtime Rare employees.

I don't understand how everyone fell for that FOUR times.

It was an ambitious, well-publicised Kickstarter. Those never work out.

Music felt bland, I feel that having to unlock moves was a bad idea, I'm personally sick of the whole collectathon theme but I guess you can't really fault them for that. It just felt a bit mindless when you play through it. Like it's a long easy game that you don't really care for.

Bad level design

>It was made by a bunch of college interns posing as longtime Rare employees.

It really does feel like that. It has so many marks of an amateur production. Just look at the reuse of the same basic enemy squad through the whole thing. So much of it feels like it's designed around the engine too. Like, there are so many details on the walls which you can actually jump on and interact with, but they just seem to be there for no real reason and there's no clear sense of whether they are deliberately there to allow you to navigate in alternate ways or if the level designers just didn't care.

The most interesting thing that happened to me while playing was no realizing that you could aim, and so i ended up finding weird alternate ways of doing tasks in the first world that I assumed were what you were supposed to do. Everything after was far more straightforward and the game barely has much sense of progression.

I liked it enough to platinum it. It wasn't a masterpiece but that's not what it set out to be. It feels like a sequel to Banjo-Tooie and that's exactly what was advertised. I don't know why some people expected anything more.

They forgot what actually made Banjo-Kazooie good, which was fun dialogue, movement that was limited but satisfying, and compact levels with a lot of things to do.

Yooka and Laylee needed something else to differentiate themselves from other mascot characters. Honestly just giving Yooka a Hawaiian shirt and Laylee something like an eyepatch would've gone a long way to making them more fun to look at and not boring.

The worlds were way too massive and not fun to traverse. The ability meter is fucking retarded and should've been done away with the second that somebody on the dev team was playing, ran out of power, and stopped having fun. You can get everywhere in the game using these ultra long jumps but none of it feels satisfying. Also combat is shit and is just you twirling around and avoiding all damage.

Why are all the cutscenes unskippable? This was something that was included with Banjo Tooie, an N64 platformer, there is no reason not to include it in current year.

everything

Not the best game and not the worst either, was fun to 100%, pretty much lived up to my expectations of it being Banjo Tooie 2.

>>377506114

Entire pacing was fucked by it's false nonlinearity. You -could- do the levels and expansions in any order, but you're only punishing yourself if you don't rush through all the worlds collecting the bare minimum to get the moves first (prime offender: getting all the way through the iceometric palace only to find you need invisibility). You then have to show some self-restraint and avoid breaking the game wide open with flight but I found it difficult to give a shit at that point.

When are people gonna stop falling for Kickstarter of developers from former games

It's usually only 1-2 people from that dev team just looking to profit off name recognition

>Music felt bland
I keep hearing everyone sucking the soundtrack's dick, yet I hear the tribalstack tropics music and it sounds like a fanmade track made to imitate banjo-kazooie. Just feels soulless.
>>377508990
Yooka and Laylee are similar to all those mascots made in the hopes of riding the coattails of Sonic and Mario's success, instead of being their own thing. Yooka's noodle arms, Laylee's massive fucking nose and both of their eyes are just super unappealing. Also pic related

People expected a good game (like BK and Tooie were), which is always implied when someone tries to sell you something. God forbid they expect the bare minimum.

>what the fuck went wrong

ftfy

Collectathons were never good

You were just a brainless child when you played them so you enjoyed all the shapes and colors

>>377506114
Design were kinda shitty. Not enough characters for each level.
I think people expected Banjo Threeie when they know damn well that wouldn't happen.

>>377510193

Bee/10. Everything else is trash/10.

What's stopping a company from making a collectathon with similar graphics? Would be cheaper and so could actually shift some focus into making the character design not look atrocious

mods this anon is a fucking retard who doesnt read the fucking rules

I've not finished yet but I've been enjoying it so far but there's definitely some flaws. The levels are a bit to large at times and it makes them tedious to navigate sometimes. Also, the quizzes. Fuck the quizzes. Who thought that was a good idea

Good game. Kill yourself op.

>>377509549
You're right about the maps.
It feels like they first designed the maps to look good, then tried to create puzzles around then, and not the other way around.
All the useless details and decorations that are solid objects but serve no purpose make it feel like an amateur game.

ANON DID IT AGAIN!

there was no reason for it to be on the ps4

it barely looked good enough to be a 360 launch title

>>377510047
That's bullshit and you know it. BK was far and away the best and had the most creative level design of almost anything you could name, only being surpassed by the best Zelda overworlds.

It was a spiritual successor to game with like three installments and a bunch of similar unrelated games, meaning burnout was inevitable. If they had made a Grabbed by the Ghoulies pseudo-sequel, this never would have happened.

>First videos looks like shit
>Every other videos looks like shit
>Only marketing point is Muh retro platform, doesn't even bother to explain why it could be good
What went wrong is that people ignored all the red flags and supported this shit

Im legit sad about you

>>377512075
None of the videos looked like shit my little shitposter.

>>377512092
Spyro is shit, I played it plenty in the demo booths at stores.

>>377512135
They looked exactly like the final game, which is exactly what we got.
Boring empty world made by people that have no idea what they're doing

This is the real problem with the game.
It seems like most who complain haven't even tried it

>>377512464
Point them out? I have no issues discussing when there's actual criticism and not retards saying
>lel spyro is shit and this is shit you're shit!

Nothing went wrong. It's a nice semi open world platformer made by people who've been in the business for decades, which definitely shows. Playing it right now and really liking it.

The memes that come with it are as unimportant as my pubic hair

>>377512648
>implying you're old enough to have pubic hair

I honestly didn't know snakes had genitals until now

Levels are boring

Not enough character

Lighting looks weird as fuck in areas because of the engine

It was mostly solid, but ended up unremarkable.

I never played Conker's Bad Fur Day because the clerk at the VHS rental store told my father it was inappropriate for children because it contained sexual content

It was the same place where I once got lost in an abyss

its a tatoo parlor now
