This is the pinnacle of videogames. There will never EVER be

*switches DKC to DKC2*

>>386926361
DKC2 didn't have as many good levels as the first one, the entire first world with the stupid pirate ships sucked

True words, OP.

>>386926361
This meme must die. First game is better. Less variety but it's more solid.

>>386927389

I'm debating whether 1 had better music, or 2.

Somehow ambient BGM from the first game had a bigger impact on the experience.

I'm depressed that your view on video games are so limited.

>>386927734
List 54 better games then

>>386926447
>>386927389
>better level design
>better music
>better bosses
>better animal buddies
>better secret levels/completion system
>better graphics
>more varied gameplay
Fucking kill yourselves, not only is DKC2 a superior sequel but it's also the gold standard for platformers. Original DKC is just an alright game that was overhyped

>>386927734

You are one of those people that can never give Nintendo games any credit.

>>386926447
>>386927389
Wrong

>>386927982
I'm more nostalgic for the first one so I'm biased and I played the first one way more than the second which I only finished once but honestly the second one felt like a hassle to play sometimes, those vertical levels are annoying, the whole pirate ship levels I didn't care about at all, the game just felt slower to me in general. It was fun I'm not saying it sucked

>>386926134
I completely disagree even though I'm glad you feel that way

>>386928128

I'm sort of getting what you are saying. It was the start of Rare's collectathon meme, with DCK2.

no, video games have much more merits to judge them from than a simple phrase like "better" or "best" can validate. this isn't your primary school playground, go play games and have fun anon. I like those games too but you shouldn't be so judgemental on others, there's more flavors to be had.

>>386927993
im playin spatoon right now man

>>386928248
I'm not bothered by collectathons, I actually find DK64 the best in the series

:>Animal companion levels
>Voodoo and mystic shit.
Nah DKC1 is better because every level is good, while DKC2 has more levels, you've got stupid shit like being stuck as squawk.

>>386926134
Except DKC was outdone by it's own sequel.

>Inb4 some dick says Tropical freeze

>>386926134
not even the pinacle of platformers.

Mario world made save files and 100%-ing your game a standard of platfomers which was a huge conflict of interest for the core challenge of the game. Now most platformers are just tiring collectathons with short bursts of ridiculously hard moments that you get through once and never have to worry about again.

If you used YI and DKC2 instead then maybe you would have had a point.

>>386926134
That Mario should be Mario 3
And yes I'm sad that games are shit nowadays

>>386927389
>Less variety
Than what? Pretty much the whole game does storming new all the time. Multiple exits, ghosts houses, Yoshi, start road, the insane ways you can use the cape. There's really only one platformer that does more and that's Yoshi's Island.

What in the fuck anon

The literal sequels to both of the games you posted are better games.

>>386928787
Yoshi's island is a literal 6/10 game
It's not fun it's boring it's a hassle I literally played 10 minutes of it and turned it off

>>386928428
>Nah DKC1 is better because every level is good

I dare you to go back and play it.

Minecart levels were tedious or boring, Stop/Go Levels have a good mechanic but are shit, and most underwater levels are just straight shit.

I don't share your opinion but I respect it.

>>386928835
>I literally played 10 minutes of it and turned it off

And thus your opinion means nothing.

>>386928787

>yoshi's island better than super mario world

wtf

They're good, but not that good. SNES games tend to suffer from the same thing.

>>386928835
>I literally played 10 minutes of it and turned it off
is this really the attention span of "gamers" nowadays? what a sad state we've come to be in

>>386928856
Mine carts were fun always my favourite levels
Under water is shit yeah I give you that
Overall it's a lot better than the second one, the second one is slow and tedious there's too much climbing and too much of the challenge is "climb along this rope and try and jump over this dumb bee in the way"

>>386928891
>>386928958
He's right. There's way more verity in the gameplay with something new being taught and forced to learn. Plus actual bosses that feel unique.

>>386929079
It's slow and boring yoshi walks like a slug and sitting there aiming your egg at the enemies is boring

>>386929168
You are meant to learn you jump, aim, and thrown in one motion. At least when you play the special stages. I mean do you think Poochy is stupid?

>>386926134
Super Mario 64 was better.

>>386929168
>yoshi walks like a slug
the fuck nigger? yoshi picks up momentum and starts running, did you play the game for more than 2 seconds?

>sitting there aiming your egg at the enemies is boring
>sitting there aiming
who in the FUCK sits there and aims at enemies instead of using the R/L button to pull up the egg reticle? You can and are supposed to move while shooting eggs, and anyone who can't is worse than a fucking scrub

>run-to-the-right platformers
They're good at what they do because what they do is so shallow there's only so much you can do wrong or right. They're the pinnacle of videogames in the same way a ham and cheese toastie is the pinnacle of food.

>>386929168
Did you literally just stop moving entirely every time you had to throw an egg?

No wonder you don't like the game.

You're just shit.

>>386929364
Nintendo 64 is the GOAT system

>>386926134

Donkey Kong Country 2 is better.

>>386926134
but world sucks, 3 is much better

>>386927837

As far as platforming goes?
Megaman series
Volgarr the Viking
Super Meat Boy
Contra series
Shovel Knight
BattleBlocks Theater
SpeedRunners
Dustforce

I dunno, those two are so limited in comparison.

>>386929469
Just because 3 is better doesn't mean World sucks.

Also, DKC1 is a mediocre game. 2 and 3 are both better.

>>386928856
>Minecart levels are tedious or boring
Do you not remember every level in the carnival section of DKC2?
Horizontal levels were better in DKC1.
DKC2 had much more vertical climbing to their levels.
DKC1 also had better areas which were visited, DKC2 has volcano, swamp and carnival.

>>386929509
>the entire Megaman series is better than SMW
Nah, 1 and 2 are pretty mediocre games (despite great soundtracks).

>>386929672
Anon, I'm not going around to specifically name which ones are great. It is not just Megaman, I'm talking about the X and Zero series.

>>386929813
Well, the X series has more bad than good games, so there is that.

Megaman, especially classic Megaman, are some of my favourite games of all time, but just brushing them over one comb saying "Megaman is better than Super Mario World" is a bit silly.

>>386929983

Super Mario World is good but not the holy grail of platformers. Most Megaman games ARE better than SMW.
