Eddage Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Is the demo a decent representation of the final game? Cause if it is then I'm steering well clear. Played it a couple of days ago and absolutely hated it! Of course it probably didn't help that I've only recently finished Banjo Kazooie on XBLA!

Sheikah Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Is the demo a decent representation of the final game? Cause if it is then I'm steering well clear. Played it a couple of days ago and absolutely hated it! It is precisely like the game, unfortunately. What you do in the demo is pretty much what you do for the entire game.

Eddage Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Bollocks to that then! Gah, why couldn't they have just made a proper platforming Banjo game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Bollocks to that then! Gah, why couldn't they have just made a proper platforming Banjo game! Because they didn't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercube Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 As much as I agre that the missions themselves are very samey, I get a great sense of "must better this time later when I get better/more parts." The leaderboards are a great help for the longevity of the time you spend trying to fine-tune your efforts. It's not hard to get into the top 50 on the L.O.G. Choice levels. Once you have a better selection of parts by finding crates and, to a larger extent, by getting Jiggies, you can really go to ( Showdown? ) town with your creations and it's this aspect which you have to have a penchant for if you want to progress and especially fully complete the title.

Sheikah Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Because they didn't want to. What they want and what is sensible for sales (and overall customer satisfaction) is a different thing. And yeah, they're a business, they should have been thinking about sales. It's not a surprise that this game didn't do too well in sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do that? How do you unlock that feature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 You can do that? How do you unlock that feature... He's talking about using new parts with the non-L.O.G.'s-Choice challenges. You can't add parts to L.O.G.'s Choices. All you can do is make something different with the existing bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caris Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 So Cube i noticed you have 1000G on this, are there any really hard achievements or are they not too bad? Also any tips on the multiplayer ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 They're not too bad. I only had trouble getting the TT score on one challenge (but you can skip one TT if you want). As for the multiplayer ones. I'd just suggest using the parts in the crates with the ghosts on (you need the horn for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Just hit 66 jiggies yesterday. Not really a fan of that Terror-thingy level. The previous level (the Olympics one?) was far better imo. Still, I plan to get atleast 100 jiggies in this game. Its far too much fun and dare I say it, far better than Kazooie or Tooie.

Cube Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'd say that it's a bit better than Tooie but not as good as Kazooie (although Tooie is still my second favourite "traditional" platformer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 :| It's good but it doesn't stand up in the slightest. Bare in mind, I prefer Mario Sunshine to either of the N64 banjo games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Imo Banjo Kazooie > Nuts n Bolts > Tooie though tbh N&B and T are about equal, both have their good and bad points, but the original Banjo Kazooie? better than both easilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Bare in mind, I prefer Mario Sunshine to either of the N64 banjo games. Nothing wrong with that; Sunshine was a great game, I loved it too, but I do believe that Banjo Kazooie is one of the best platformers we've ever had the chance to play. I'm torn between whether I prefer SM64 or BK to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Banjo > Nuts & Bolts > Tooie > DK64 > SM64 > Sunshine Note: I love SM64. However, there's a massive gap between SM64 and Sunshine. As in I would probably even put Ninjabread Man ahead of Sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways I suppose this isn't really the thread to start up such a debate, so I'll leave it as each to their own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jav_NE Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I love Mario 64, i just like the other games better. Even DK64 is probably fonder in my memory. It's not that they are 'better' games, just for me personally as i enjoyed them more and they stand higher in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
