at least they aren't tied to any secrets or unlocks though, that kind of straight up fiendish design wouldn't be much fun in 2 or 3 Artix is rightfully not giving a poo poo about them but i hope he shows off that one bonus level in the factory world because it is just bonkers

Thank you for showing off the beauty that is a bonus within a bonus. Nested bonus I really like Kremcroc Industries but that's because I really like the factory levels and that's because I really like the music, which also got an amazing remix in DKCR... Acne Rain posted:you might explain this past minute eight but I kind of doubt it: What is the difference between Kiddy and Donkey that makes Kiddy so much worse? I thought Kiddy was basically Donkey but with more powers and a lamer character premise he's a big dumb baby who cries when he takes a hit also kinda sorta child soldier wtf donkey kong

Acne Rain posted:maybe someone should do a minimalist run instead of a dazzling addar run even if there weren't too many collectables, none of the kongs control very well and the camera is trash garbage and most of the levels are just a pain to navigate and the minigames are generally awful

Y-Hat posted:It took me a while to figure out why the hook-handed Kremling is called Krook. Then I realized it's a play on the old idiom "by hook or by crook." Cheeky Rare. those hook-ended staffs shepherds use are called crooks! his hands might not be long enough for the classical definition but then again, he is a little short

Acne Rain posted:What I'm getting out of this video is that blind sally and geop need to do a vid together and just sling puns everywhere. I think it's more that animal buddies functioned as powerups in the original trilogy whereas now you have the other kongs fulfilling the same general function, plus Rambi as a sort of legacy thing also little known fact tarantino takes name ideas from donkey kong country Looper fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Jan 12, 2016 |

i maintain that these water levels would be good and fun if only donkey kong hadn't forgotten how to breathe underwater also i like how the boss renders himself (mostly) invincible just by facing a different direction

Y-Hat posted:They don't look all that bad to me in terms of level layout, but the air mechanic is stupid, especially considering that it didn't exist in the original DKC games or DK64. Are the swimming controls good, at least? I think the boss fight would have been a lot better with no air meter. It seems like it went a lot quicker than the other fights in this game so far. they're like a heavier version of rayman legends' underwater controls, aka the only platforming game to have good water levels

Pittsburgh Lambic posted:The female Kremlings are apparently designed by someone who has no idea what a female Kremling would look like. The idea of introducing gendered identities to normally non-gendered alligators so often treats the familiar as inherently masculine. Female Kremlings are painted hot yellow and granted the enlarged, fluttery swords so often used to distinguish women from men in lazily drawn cartoons. "Look at that cutlass," declares Diddy and he gets a look at one of the ladykremlings' rear end. In one scene, the game even eroticises go on

well he also had a popsicle but somebody had to ruin his day i mean, i like his arena and i like his weird magic ice hammer and i like his music and i like his animations and i like how instead of turning red because he's mad he turns purple because you keep dunking him in popsicle juice and i like that he's a viking polar bear wearing a championship belt Looper fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Feb 1, 2016 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pMZa_vUQ1k dem synth chordsBlastinus posted:So far as bosses go, he's oddly simplistic in his design; just a polar bear with a hammer. The arena you're fighting him in seems to be more interesting than the dude himself. That, combined with the part where the game only lets you hit him once before he does a lengthy pratfall into the piranha-filled syrup river (?) means that the boss fight seems unnecessarily padded and tedious. i meant to respond to this earlier, but the dunking animation is a good opportunity for you to get situated, since you are having to deal with ice physics the whole time. it's nice to have some breathing room, unless you're super impatient. also you're commenting on simplistic design in a game full of them, the main character is just a gorilla in a necktie, it seems like a deliberate theme

AradoBalanga posted:I think the hilarious thing about how bad Quawks is as an animal buddy is that he didn't get named until after Donkey Kong Country 3. Both the guide for DKC2 and DKC3 just list him as "Squawks' purple cousin". I mean, I don't get the point of him at all. Was Rare trying out different improvements for Squawks and settled on the one we ultimately got, but then some random asshat just could not let go of Quawks' abilities for some reason and they decided to appease said asshat? I'll give credit to DKC3 for trying to do something more with him, but we'll get there when we do. squawks is just really allergic to honey and was feeling a little under the weather after the last boss fight

When you can explore the level so thoroughly with web platforms, it becomes hard to hide bonus levels and DK coins, hence the questionable placement of all of them. i'm wondering if an exploration-based level like that lovely water maze in tropical freeze could have worked for squitter, though i'm not really sure how you'd manage that in the snes dkc engine
