That's probably because DK64 is an awful game.Originally Posted by Aulayna
Now take a seat and hold on folks because I'm about to make a lot of people angry.
- The Donkey Kong Country games were good, but not great. Just because I'm playing as gorilla's doesn't mean that controls so sluggish it feels like I'm controlling an actual gorilla are a great idea.
- The Killer Instinct games are pretty awful fighting games
- The Banjo games were mind numbingly boring platformers. I used to wonder if they could cram a little more fetch questing in there, but then they made DK64 so obviously they felt the need to answer that question in the affirmative.
- Didn't like Diddy Kong Racing either. It was like a Mario Kart with worse characters that didn't control as well.
- I've never played Jet Force Gemini oddly enough, despite it looking like a Rare game from that era that wouldn't enrage me.
On the plus side, Goldeneye 007 is still an example of a great FPS in all respects except controls, and Perfect Dark was even better and managed to fix some things that didn't work in Goldeneye while expanding tremendously on what did. It also had multiplayer options that haven't been matched by any FPS I know of since outside of the PC realm (and even then, the options available in most PC games come at the cost of ease of use). The later Timesplitters games may have topped it, but I didn't own any after the first which was a mixed bag so my knowledge of their options is somewhat limited. It wouldn't surprise me though since the only people at Rare capable of making good games left to start Free Radical.
