Rare games

[Roto13]

Rareware really sucks. Remember how ballyhooed they were in the days of the N64? Easily the most overrated company ever. Their games, aside from Starfox 64, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark, were completely boring. They runied Donkey Kong and ripped off Super Mario 64 about a dozen times. Bah.

Discuss.

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

rareware did mario games?

[Jowy]

They sure as hell ripped them off.

Banjo-Kazooie was kinda fun though. Everything else was just really lame.

[Sephex]

Rare didn't make StarFox 64. Goldeneye was alright, but I am one of the few that was more satisfied with Perfect Dark. Pretty much everything else sucked. I thought Banjo-Kazooie was alright...untill they had you collect 5,000 things every level.

I remember when Microsoft bought them out I was like, "Microsoft is helping Nintendo out, I guess."

[Shoeberto]

Perfect Dark and Goldeneye were great. Let's get that out of the way right now.

Can't really say the same for the rest of their library, though.

[Rye]

Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie were so fun.

[RiseToFall]

I feel bad for Microsoft, (just this once) they paid $500 million to buy Rare from Nintendo and so far have not received anything back from their investment. Well they did get these,

-Grabbed by the Ghoulies (crap)
-Kameo(crap)
-Perfect Dark Zero (somehow turned into crap)

Let's look into the future.
-Viva Pinata (crap)

Wow Nintendo really is a smart company after all.

Edit: Thank you roto13-ness for making another thread named rare games, owww my head, don't know which is which.

What about Conkers Bad Fur Day? That was a good game. I loved it. Banjo Kazooie deserves a mention too.

But yeah they sure as hell ruined Donkey Kong. That games sucked so much...

Perfect Dark and Goldeneye 007 absolve Rare of anything else they might ever do, up to and including the genocide of ethnic minorities.

Edit: We're all forgetting Jet Force Gemini, too.

[Roto13]

I'm not. How can I forget it? That's like forgetting the holocaust.

Rare was good back in the day of SNES with Donkey Kong Country. And on N64 they had the games already mentioned, namely Banjo-kazooie, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, and Jet Force Gemini. But excluding those and after that, they've done very little well.

Conker's was great. Dunno how I forgot it.

[Jowy]

Conker's Bad Fur Day rocked my world.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I'm not completely sure how to process the ancient, primordial anger instilled in me by the suggestion that Rare had anything to do with the greatness of Star Fox 64.

[Ashley Schovitz]

Donkey Kong 64 was bad, but all the ones beforew it were good, and so were Banjo Kazooie, Perfect dark, and Goldeneye.
