Totally with ya Aston. I'm totally willing to concede I'm a huge noob (forgive me mom...), but the controls for DKC:TF do seem to have a bit of a slide to them.

The game has momentum, just move fast or adjust. Sure it doesn't play like every other game but that's a good thing in my opinion

I don't mind it in 99% of cases but dying from falling of a platform whilst stationary is pretty infuriating

Its not random though, if you think it'll happen it probably will so adjust so you dont hit the platform with a ton of momentum or just keep moving.

I did not like Donkey Kong Country Returns, even though I got it for free.

I don't think platformers are worth anything more than $10.

What makes Tropical Freeze different from any other platformer?

You're right, platofrumers aren't worth poo poo. I reserve my 69 dollar game purchases for epic RPG FPS games such as Borderland, and Destiny. For the win!

I beat the factory stage yesterday. I also found the way to get to the special stage and beat it and got the pearl. It's only the second one I found. What do you get if you find all of them?

I remember being really upset at the Factory world because I thought I found these 3 cool secrets in the levels but no, they're required to progress. Don't give me gaming blue balls like that, you shitpickles! What were they thinking?

Really my biggest complaint remains the same from the first game: the bonus stages kinda suck and get old fast

I can forgive the bonus levels since it's kind of an optional thing. And at the end of the day it was a well designed game. I love it, and genuinely think it's almost perfect. That slippery controls tho...

Sometimes I would attempt a ground pound and get a roll instead. I think it was because I expected it to work with momentum, when it actually worked off of current stick input? Other than that I had no problems with the controls.

The bonus areas blow but all you get there are puzzle pieces anyway.

The secret temple levels though, those are really good.

You're going to die a lot. The sooner you accept that the sooner you can reach Kong nirvana.

One thing that I thought was dumb is Tropical Freeze kept a lives counter despite lives being a complete non issue because of how many you get. I spent most of the game capped on coins and lives with little to really spend them on.

I capped out at 99 lives at the beginning of the last world and was down to like 15-16 when I eventually beat all the levels, so yeah, don't fear monkey death.
