While the piranha story is technically true and they are considered dangerous, like sharks they are the unfortunate victims of an over-exaggerated reputation as Doctor Why explains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5WWyB3fpHU (8:24)

Mumbo magic, not have to explain poo poo! Fun fact, it's possible to not lose any Twinklies by taking out the first Twinkly Muncher and then standing on the box the Twinklies emerge from since the Twinkly Munchers don't spawn off screen.

Correction, wasps are just as important as bees if not more so: https://cyanocoraxx.tumblr.com/post/183796177483

Transcript for those who can't see it:cyanocoraxx posted:with summer coming fast i just wanna share a psa on wasps and why they’re good too. I actually had a wasp's nest in an outdoor storage cabinet this summer and didn't have any issues beyond one or two flying towards me though I never got stung. I checked it periodically ends August and September to see if they've left and plucked it off the self it was under once they did.

Given that Jamjars' reaction to his brother's decidedly ignoble death was "Why am I not surprised?", you're probably right about why the duo were willing to tell him in the first place as he seems more annoyed with Bottles for dying do to his own idiocy. Speaking of the good drill sergeant, Jamjars' military cadence has a bit of an interesting history to it: You see it's based on the Duckworth Chant, created in 1944 by Private Duckworth of the U.S. Army: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6bhv4i8qso This cadence, also known as Sound Off, was adapted by Scott Watson to a range that would work with young bands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSY_a8_3sV8 The cadence was made popular by films about the Army, most famously the 1987 film Full Metal Jacket crude language disclaimer for this one since it's the late R.

Humba is more likely based on how Native Americans were depicted in Disney's Peter Pan since Pocahontas did poorly in Europe as I recall. And while her transformation magic is arguably better than Mumbo's was in the first game, he does do some impressive stuff as the game goes on so I think it evens out.

You're actually not that far off, they planned to convert an in-development Diddy Kong Racing game for the GameCube into a 360 game called Sabreman Stampede following Rare's acquisition though sadly that ended up getting canned as well do to lack of direction. As for Nuts & Bolts, the issue is that not only the variety is vehicle focused in a platformer series meaning the player base wants variety focused around actual platforming rather than complete genre shifts, something Nitro Rad on YouTube has been very vocal about in his reviews, but it can be repetitive since it's very common to just make and use something specifically geared towards the challenge (e.g. using your fastest vehicle for racing) and many challenges don't even let you use your own vehicle.

Rather Watch Them posted:Y'know, Mumbo wouldn't have to deal with the fire hands if you used the shortcut in his hut. I was about to say I know one of the levels has a tunnel connecting his hut to Wumba's wigwam but I couldn't remember if it was this level or another one.

Yeah I can confirm that the second Samba de Amigo does return in Transformed with Mambo De Verano as its theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiUhOhTynZI In case you were wondering: the other Samba de Amigo track in Transformed uses Vamos a Carnaval as its theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdbtrxGSDsc And while I don't hate Nuts & Bolts, I am glad Smash uses the duo's classic design since the N&B designs don't really work outside that game. I also kinda want to see you try to recreate Banjo's All-Stars Racing vehicle in N&B just to see how accurate to the source game's vehicle style that Racing was.

I do like that the DLC Spirits have some logic put into them because I remember the Phantom Thieves as Spirits also doing this when Joker was first added. Plus the Shantae possessing Samus meme will never not make me laugh.

azren posted:I can see how people would be pretty pissed by that opening. "Oh, you wanted a new B-K game? Sure, sure, but the format of game that you grew up with and loved just sucks, so play something different" is really insulting. I didn't even play a lot of this kind of game growing up, and I'm still a little ticked at the attitude. To be fair, I think that was supposed to establish LoG as an unlikable jackass that represents Microsoft given Rare staff weren't too happy with Microsoft's bullshit.

Kacie posted:There's establishing LoG as an unlikable jackass, and then there's going out of your way to trash your main characters, taunt folks with what could have been, and then dump them in a new game that probably wasn't what they expected to get when they bought the game. I suspect that Rare were hoping that Microsoft would reverse its purchase of Rare if they saw Rare's stuff wasn't selling well enough to have been worth it since the buy out screw Rare over in multiple ways.

Beartaco posted:Hahaha, it wasn't until you tried to lift off with the chair/trolley that I realised this game runs on the same engine as Sonic '06. To be fair this game has considerably more polish and isn't nearly as broken as 06, it just had some questionably design decisions do to Microsoft severely bad understanding of their own console's primary audience. Speaking of which Banjo and Kazooie were hardly the only ones to suffer because of this since not only did you have Kameo and Voodoo Vince but also Blinx the Time Sweeper, Microsoft's most infamous attempt to attract families to a console whose audience at the time was almost exclusively Halo fans and the one the company wanted to be the console's mascot instead of Master Chief.

Oh that long jump is fun to run every vehicle you have to see which can go the furthest. It's especially funny that your strategy uses isn't that different than that of the eternal glory that is the Kinetikos:  Motion sickness warning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tEU59v9aMk

azren posted:Why doesn't Battletoads have the giant fist on it? Probably because the fist is useless compared to the guns already on it, honestly the scuba chair we just got would be legitimately more useful for it since it's technically already a water vehicle.

I'm sadly not surprised to see this is where things go south, this game is infamous for a reason. Rooreelooo made a decent LP of it that's sadly been lost to history and Dex01 did a decent LP of this where he was upfront about his opinion on it:Dex01 posted:It was a pretty brave move and not one I think many studios would be daring enough to try. Personally I don't really think it worked. I will be upfront and honest and admit that my thinking on this game is biased. I don't particularly like it because it's not a Banjo game. It's just a game that has the name attached to it and which the characters are present in. You could swap out any other franchise and put it in this games environment and it would still function the same way. That's just my take on it however and despite my hang-ups I do still try to enjoy the game and do sometimes find myself having fun with it. And to be honest, I feel like this would have been better as a toy line rather than a video game since then they could focus purely on vehicle building without any of the missions weighing it down, hell Rare had thought to integrate a toy into a game at one point.

As Nitro Rad (someone who has reviewed many B grade platformers over his Youtube career) rightly noted in his review of it, the main issue with Yooka-Laylee seems to be that Playtonic did not seem to learn for the mistakes of the B grade platformers that released during to the interim between YL and Banjo Tooie resulting in them repeating many of those same mistakes. As he says: "Yooka-Laylee is a classic platformer in every sense of the word, and I do mean every sense of the word. With the classic platformer fun comes the classic platformer bullshit and Yooka-Laylee is unfortunately packed to the brim with it." By contrast while Crash 4 is bullshit hard to 100%, to the point that 100% completion is not recommended, it is also a very focused experience where nothing strays too far from the core formula of the original three games but also clearly studying all the came after.
