Yooka Laylee "Spit 'n' Polish" Update

This is make or break for me OP:
Have they taken out the Quiz parts?

>>379396927
Thanks for beta testing Sonyfags and Xbonefags

Nintendo wins again

>>379397079
Highly unlikely, that's been a tradition in quite literally every Banjo game, even the GBA one

Did they put Jontron back in yet

>Spit n' Polish

More like "Shit got Published" amiright?

>Yooka Laylee is actually good
>developers actually care about their game
>doesn't matter because plebs who started playing video games with Halo are now officially the majority in this industry

can anyone who's played through it tell me f the game's any good? no nostalgiafagging or shitposts please, I want an actual review.

>>379397253
Kek, that was actually pretty good.

>>379397079
No, but speeding through dialogue will make them much shorter.

>>379397930
It's not as good as I thought it would be but it's ok. I'd get it on sale or pirate it if i were you.

>>379398080
can you elaborate a bit?
How does it compare to other platformers; do the controls feel good; is the level design decent?

>>379398251
Better then DK 64, but not as good as the rest

>>379397930
I started playing through it the other day. 4 hours in right now. I'm enjoying it. Good characters and interactions. Good collection challenges. The one thing that bothers me is I've been to the first three worlds (maybe four if you count the hub as a world of sorts) and I don't think anything is going to be as memorable as Banjo-Kazooie levels. It's just a display of good gameplay setpieces, but nothing like the giant rusty ship, the snow world built around the giant snowman, etc. And the music hasn't stuck with me yet either.

>>379397253
Alright that made me chuckle

>>379398340
that's not too helpful since DK64 is just about the only platformer I couldn't tolerate.
>>379398427
is that because of the level design or the visual design or both?

>>379396927
Those are good improvements. Might buy it for PC and 100% it again.

>>379398340
Only being better than DK64 is not exactly praise.

>>379398251
>do the controls feel good
Controls feel pretty good, but I am actually debating holding off on finishing the game until this coming updating just for the improved camera controls.

>>379398427
>And the music hasn't stuck with me yet either.

I feel like the Nintendo 64 era video game music was extremely good. I can still remember a lot of songs from games I played back then.

>>379397872
I appreciate it but platformers are just not something I have fun with.

>>379396927
fair enough OP. if this switch version is reconsidered I will go against my gut and try this sjw game. Being honest.

>>379398556

> that's not too helpful since DK64 is just about the only platformer I couldn't tolerate.

You didn't enjoy that smooth 12 fps ?

>>379396927
>70,000 sales worldwide on an install base of 70 million

Why didn't you guys buy it?

>>379398794
shit fps was common at the time, especially on N64. I couldn't tolerate the level design though, none of the levels stood out and the tedium was too extreme.

>>379398556
Level design, I guess. This is just so underwhelming compared to walking into Freezeezy Peak, for example.

>>379398923
'cause it ain't on the Switch yet

>>379398923
>70,000 sales worldwide on an install base of 70 million
????

>>379398923
Post YFW Switch sales of JL trump those of PS4/Xbone

>>379398995
DK64 was special though, but I do remember stuff like Gex running at like 12.

>>379399107
I think he's combining Xbone, Ps4, and PC install bases.

I'm gonna have to try it out again once they update it. This surprisingly touches on most of the little things in the game I was annoyed of.

Shit like not being able to jump while sliding and the character/level design isn't ever getting fixed though but this gives me a lot of trust that the sequel could be a vast improvement.

Why is there even an energy meter

>>379399552
So that you can't roll or fly infinitely.

I won't play this until there's a mod that changes all of the NPC dialogue into Jon Tron reading minority crime stats

>>379397930
Really boring honestly.
I bought it because I wanted something comfy to play on downtime but I don't really have a reason to keep going other than cause I paid for it.

I'd rather just watch youtube or study or something.

>>379399369
haven't even played the game but that list seems to be a direct response to the complaints I've heard about the game. At the very least Playtonic does seem to care about player feedback and has a desire to get good.

>ps4/xbox versioned get gimped in favor of the switch getting the best version

seems the tables have turned this time

>>379396927
>no JonTron VO
Nah. I'll just replay Banjo-Kazooie on Project64.

>>379396927
So when will they add local co-op?

I'm still mad at Playtonic for fucking up my game code and refusing to fix it.

>>379397930
Starts strong with the first level, second is pretty good, rest are meh.

It's a solid 6/10.

>>379399107
PS4 and Xbone are at, last recorded, 70 mil

Too bad the damage is already done.

>>379400439
The vo's are annoying any ways

>>379396927
>patch polish in after game releases
what a great way to sum up modern game development

>>379396927
Too bad I am already done

>>379402167
They don't bother me, but Playtonic spat in the faces of everyone who was excited about JonTron and didn't agree with their politics. "No refunds."
I'm not giving them my money unless it goes on a 75% or higher Steam sale. Shouldn't take too long, considering its mediocre launch scores.

>>379396927
Nice to see the control issues with everything but the main characters being addressed, still wont fix how bland the worlds are past the first but i might actually finish it now when this goes out.

>>379396927
>Brand new pause music
>New ability to speed through dialogue by holding Y
>Health UI is now always visible when low
fucking kazooie did this off the bat

>Watched a recent Happy Game Nerd (fuck you I'm not calling you by that gay lol le xD skelingtons shit) video where he talked about the death of the collectathon
>"It never died, it just became the sandbox genre!"

lol no, and fuck you again
I want to play a fun and interesting world like Banjo Kazooie full of ridiculous shit, not wander through digital New York for the five thousandth time running over people when I get bored of the "white people try to write a plot about gangstas" story that gets rehashed a gorillion times.

Saints Row 2 is the only sandbox game I've enjoyed

At the end. Not multiple times throughout the main story and especially not right at the beginning.

>>379396927
>All things that should have been in the game to begin with

>new voice-over by jon tron
nice

>>379396927
they gave into SJW crybullies so no, never giving them any money

>>379397872
>developers actually care about their politics
ftfy

Welp, I'll have to actually pick this up now. Portable and tweaked YL is too good to pass up.

>>379403759
I've got a PC and PS4, but I've felt like it's more right to play a BK knockoff on a Nintendo console.

Even though the last time I played BK and BT was when I boxed my 360 for good when I moved out.

>whine about not wanting politics in video games
>refuse to play games based on their own political stance

what is it like being a moron?

Oh I wasn't aware that people paid for a fucking early access game that they'd fix a few months later. No OP, they don't deserve redemption.

>>379399339
No, the PS4 has a 70M base alone.

It's weird knowing I was super hyped for this game at one point and thought it would be the GOTY for 2017.
I might pick it up when it goes down to $15-$20.

>>379397930

A 7.5/8ish game. It's not as simple as Banjo but not as inventive as Tooie, and some of the Pagies feel like they suffer from needing 25 in each world. But it's certainly not another Mighty No 9.

>>379396927
We will have to see if it makes it worthwhile to do everything again, because I was one of the unfortunate ones to marathon through it all on release. Then again, that makes it very easy for me to be able to compare how shit it was to how less shit it should be with this update.
This shit makes me feel like we just did Playtonic's beta test for them.

>>379397872
The thing is that something like this was needed right when the game came out, but it's been several months since. People have played through it and found it was lacking, I don't think the vast majority of them are going to suffer through it all again

>>379399552
They thought kids don't like collecting a handful of pickups for your various moves anymore, so instead they made it the same item as the health so you accidentally fuck yourself over.

>>379397228
I understand that YOU want Jon Tron in the game I do too but from a business standpoint the normies won't accept it, it's essentially give the majority what they want or don't turn a profit.
