Hop n bop garbage. Smw is pixel perfect platforming

>muh gimmicks are bad!
/vr/ in nutshell, gimmicks are fun, you never know what to expect from a level instead of "ok let's play generic level #27 featuring the same things but in different spots", it's obvious that you can get better a lot faster in a game with little variation of gameplay (like the original non-romhack SMW), not that I think DKC1 is a masterpiece, but DKC2 sure is.

Ive always loved both

Gimmicks are fun when they compliment the pace of the game and the level Tanked Up Trouble (The one I dropped the game on) didn't. Oh yeah, having to wait around on a slow as shit conveyor belt to collect fuel tanks that you must get each and every single one of sure compliments the pace of a fast platformer where you ride around on rhinos. Give me a fucking break. I hate that levels like Blackout Basement, Torchlight Trouble, Stop & Go Station, Trick Track Trek and more completely fuck over the pacing of the game to the point where they're practically different games.

So you're just one of those with ADHD, ok, besides you don't really need to wait in Blackout Basement or Stop & Go Station all that much, only Trick Track Trek fits your dumb criteria a little bit.
>Wahh I can't moving forward all the time non-stop like Mario!
Literally just gid gud, these stages are far from "different games", a different game would be a change to a different genre, it still is platforming, they're just different kinds of obstacles, use your brain and fingers for a change of pace.

>Miyamoto was right

Oh look, it's a Steve L. Kent thread.

>Miyamoto was right

>"And apparently recently some rumour got out that I didn't really like that game? I just want to clarify that that's not the case, because I was very involved in that."

Indeed, OP, Miyamoto was right...

Git gud.

Real games have gimmicks that read the player's mind.

>>3986365
Memorization isn't skill. I'm no better at the game than I was when I started, I just brute forced my way through the levels by memorizing the patterns of the offscreen shit.

>>3986004
Can everyone please stop sucking dkc2s dick so hard plz

>>3985963

DKC1 is way too easy besides a couple of bullshit gimmick levels in the last world.

>>3986638
I agree that memorization isn't a skill, but DKC is not really a game that requires that. You have a wide variety of ways to deal with these things, even if you don't want to take the game slow. If you can't figure those ways out, then you just take it slower. It's that simple.

>>3986651
It has engaging level design and godly aesthetics.

>>3986084
It's an autoscroller level. They are quite common in platformers. Even SMW had them. Stop whining.

I can't think of a single level with offscreen shit that suddenly kills you.

>>3987834
Yeah, DKC did one thing right, and that was giving you plenty of time to react/avoid whatever is approaching you. OP is just a scrub.

>>3985963
play dkc2 for a bit and suddenly dkc will turn into the easiest game ever

and what? mario world literally had a new gimmick for pretty much every non-secret level. i agree that mario world is a better game but cmon now

>>3985963
>Stop & Go Station
The only reason i even beat that level is the cheat at the beginning of it that lets you skip a good part of it.

>>3987834
>>3989189
Then how about Ice Age Valley where there are a few instances where the platforms are too low to see with the slow camera and Poisonous Pond where Bitesizes come at you at lightning speed out of nowhere? DKC is a classic for several reasons -the OST is one of the best ever made and the rhythm makes it an excellent speed game- but the camera can still be a huge turn-off for newcomers.

Git fukken gud, op
