Its a very mediocre game that didn't live up to its hype at all. Its not terrible but nobody would care about it if it wasn't made by old Rare employees (that are washed up and bad at game design)/

Watching bad games be played quickly is probably the best way to experience them, tbh.

Yo this timer is making me nervous. Unless he does some really crazy stuff 10 minutes seems really short for the last 2 segments.

Yeah but according to game journalists its "Newgrounds graphics" and automatically bad.

The backgrounds don't mesh with the character animations particularly well. It is bad art design.

Deepnest is terrifying the first time you go there, especially if you haven't upgraded your nail.

Hello thread. I voted checkbox, as any goon with any loving sense does. I appreciate the couch's look this winter. it's flowing just enough to have some cool texture, but it accentuates her shape well. Red is always bold, but classic, of course, but the jaunty pose and lack of accessories really speak to the attitude of GDQ this year. It's fresh, it's the same, and very fashionable.

Correct my good watson but bad games absolutely do not exclude them from being good speed games and vice versa where good games do not guarantee them being good speed games. The choice is your on if you want to tune in or not.

Also, A Hat In Time is 100000x better than Yooka in every way and absolutely scratches that itch if you were once interested in trying Yooka Laylee

Two examples of good speedruns but terrible games are Sonic 2006 and Sonic Boom. Coincidentally, both of them are sonic games. Sonic games tend to make good speedruns. I look forward to seeing Sonic Forces Speedruns in the future.

Banjo still is a pretty good game, Yooka Laylee is not. Nuts and Bolts remains the best Banjo game.

Maybe the empty couch is the reflection of the Hollow aspect of Hollow Knight in some form of symbolism.

These people did not replay Donkey Kong 64 and thus did not remember how bad the Collect-a-Thon style of gameplay could be and was.

Unless something major has changed in the last year, the F-Zero GX run is just going to be a dude mashing L+R for half an hour. Every racing game run is bad.

Yeah girl! I just finished it last night and I was playing it with some friends out of town for new years who aren't gamers and they were totally sucked into its cuteness and cleverness. Great game.

It has to tide me over until I can afford a switch for odyssey later this year :negative:
