Glad to see that this game continues the tradition from Kazooie where enemies will constantly razz (transformed) Banjo about his outfit.

I'm disappointed they didn't speak with the tutorial guys at the kickball stadium. They're actually not tutorial guys and have some funny dialogue.

I didn't mind Glitter Gulch Mine, but it does have way too many sub zones so it's fairly easy to get turned around.

I don't think we've seen any new moves in all of Mine so far... It's easily my least favorite level in the game, both because of the navigation issues and my general distaste for Westerns and Western-adjacent media and theming. AweStriker fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Apr 4, 2023 |

Fun fact: Old King Coal, Bullion Bill and another character we haven't seen yet were named by readers of Nintendo Official Magazine, basically the UK equivalent to Nintendo Power. They (or possibly Rare) made sure to mention that they got some really crap suggestions for Bullion Bill in particular, but sadly didn't show any of those.

So what's the over-under on king coal being a Doctor who style time lord, and Chuffy his Tardis? It IS bigger on the inside, twice over even, if you count the cavernous boiler.

Mine is maybe objectively not the best level but it's where I really fell in love with the game as a kid. Temple is fine but a bit basic still and rather condensed, Mine wowed me with its sheer size, the various cool side areas and I really understood here first that you can actually just go from level to level, that was insane to me. It is true that I was missing a few things here and there and when going back to 100% stuff, I realized I had missed entire areas. The layout is definitely confusing despite having the river as a clear throughline. But that could be a strength as well if you're not obsessing over getting everything immediately - it was absolutely cool as well to find the stuff I had missed the first time around! Also the music is unbelievably catchy.

In a game full of walking talking animals, why did Rare decide to make Mary a horrible Island of Dr. Moreau hybrid?berenzen posted:Oh Canary Mary, how I utterly loathed you as a child. Also have fun always accidentally drill billing instead of ground pounding for the rest of the game. This is funny when you realize that the Beak Buster is almost never used as a puzzle-solving tool in this game- everything that requires you to ground-pound is designed to be a Beak Drill check instead. The limited use of a lot of the moves from the first game is a bummer in general, though I guess focusing on the new stuff makes sense.

C-Euro posted:In a game full of walking talking animals, why did Rare decide to make Mary a horrible Island of Dr. Moreau hybrid? The bill drill is literally just the beak buster, but we made you unlock it again and they just made the old version nearly useless. The new moves are generally pretty original despite just keeping the old set, but that one just sticks out like a sore thumb. It's like it got put in there just to hit a move quota for the mine.

They didn't update the tutorial dialogue in the Xbox release, just swapped in the Xbox buttons so nothing rhymes anymore.

You're having a race against a flying creature, in a game where flight is explicitly one of your powers, and you do it via a miner's handcart. If ever there was a cast-iron excuse to make you fly through rings, this is it.

Honestly, I don't remember flight coming up terribly often in this game in general. I remember it being one of the big distinguishing things of the original B-K, that you could fly around these huge levels without severe restrictions. B-T has its own distinguishing move that I think colors a lot of what you can do instead.

I'm assuming you're referring to the one that helps prevent further moves like the bill drill that are just relearning the same moved from the first game(which still exists, it's just useless now)? Because that move was actually pretty great for getting a bunch of cool new moves without stepping on the old one's toes.

90s kids will recognize the Ordnance Depot layout as (roughly) Goldeneye's Stack multi-player level  E: I don't know that Targitzan's Temple is based on a Rare shooter level but the FPS zone in world 6 definitely is. C-Euro fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Apr 13, 2023 |

I seriously don't know how you guys like 1st person swimming more. I get motion sick just watching and I don't get motion sickness. Edit: Also, unsure of how far ahead you've recorded but my advice would be, don't worry about backtracking for stuff at all. Go through everything once and then come back and handle all the poo poo you need to do in one run back through time. Natural 20 fucked around with this message at 13:28 on Apr 13, 2023 |

While I can understand Artix's dislike of level 5's colour schema, I personally find that it's made up by having the best transform and dinos. Conversely, I never much liked his favourite level. I found the raining boulder gimmick way too loving annoying for traversing the level unless you rush to disable it right off the bat. I will also note that I disliked level 4 when I first started playing because I never picked up the fish outside banjo's house when I was much younger.

For how much work is required to collect some of the Jiggies in this game, the Jiggie requirements for unlocking new levels are pretty soft; two worlds' worth of Jiggies gets us five levels unlocked. Kind of plays into what Artix was saying a couple of videos ago about this game borrowing cues from Metroidvanias and open-world games, where there's lots to pick up but not as much that's required to be picked up. I can't even remember what you get for 100%ing the game, if you get anything at all.
