For how much of a pain Grunty Industries can be, I still like it. I just really like the aesthetic of industrial levels. Waaay more than the massive empty sky of Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Grunty Industries is laid out more like a dungeon to crawl through with its unlockable shortcuts (beyond the usual warp-pads) and various routes you can only take in one form or the other, as opposed to the more open exploration of the rest of the levels. Or at least, it's further down that spectrum than the rest of the game.

I should make a graph of unlocking everything in each world, just to see how it goes. I probably won't, though.

The sequence of identifying that you probably need something in the second floor to make the rabbit accessible in the first, looking around on said second floor and seeing the screwplate, then getting it from the outside, leading to the "aw yes we dropped the thing, we're so smart!" moment is exactly why GI is the best level in the game btwRabbi Raccoon posted:I am kinda curious about what the most efficient way to 100% this game would be

DK64 is not a good game by any stretch, but the Tag Anywhere mod which does what it says on the tin does a lot to make it suck less…

I will always say DK64 is a perfectly fine game as long as you don't 100% it. Also dear god, just let me have the loving Golden Banana, we don't always need a minigame

The power of Child Me's nostalgic memories means DK64 will always hold a special place in my heart. Just no trying to grind out a 100%.

I got everything as a kid except the lousy Nintendo medal for beating the Donkey Kong arcade game and those stupid doors in K. Rool's castle taunted me forever! Requiring 100% to finish the game is absolute nonsense and by far the biggest sin that game commits. As you saw, you can skip an entire-rear end LEVEL in Tooie and still fight the final boss! That's the way it should be.

You absolutely do not lol, what are you talking about Silver? 100 bananas (~50%), all 8 boss keys, both coins (15 of 40 banana medals for Rare Coin), and enough blueprints to give you time to get through Hideout Helm (each of which also gives you a banana so you need even less of those). Jet Force Gemini is *way* worse for requiring completion to finish it.

You do need the Nintendo Coin though. That can go all the way to hell and take the Rare Coin with it

Jet Force Gemini is *way* worse for requiring completion to finish it. Okay I admit I have not touched the game since I was 12 and couldn't fight the final boss due to not having the Nintendo coin. I did everything else, but that stupid coin eluded me. I had zero problem with the Jet Pack one. That one was piss easy. Donkey Kong though? NOPE. Utter nonsense. So that game's biggest sin is requiring those stupid coins to fight the final boss. Fine! You win this round.

It's weird because I don't think it skipping across water ever comes up anywhere else. The game really should have taught you that somewhere before asking you to connect it to the moves ability to cross hazardous terrain. Hell, for that matter, does it work on the lava in hailfire or any of the quicksand type terrain areas? Also, it was super frustrating watching you try literally every move but the one you needed when you tried to figure it out on your own.

That also could be the logic: Just try every move available to you.

Tower of Tragedy is definitely a lay-up compared to Grunty's Furnace Fun, even if the latter is way more interesting. Though for a moment there I thought we were going to get some unplanned drama! Also I can't recall if you showed it off, but if you "talk" to Zombie Jingaling he shares trivia about the game's bosses!

I love how Grunty is extra enough that she keeps adding trivia questions doing the fight.  It’s a heck of a way to close out the game. I do kind of agree that the game has higher highs and lower lows than Banjo-Kazooie. It’s a lot like Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in that regard, esp. compared to the original Paper Mario — where TTYD is great, it’s amazing (the Glitz Pit), but where it’s bad, it really sucks (the whole Doopliss incident). As there, so here. Maybe it’s an effect of having to make a sequel to a really good and really tight original game? Anyway, congrats on the LP!

Overall, I think one of the biggest challenges the game faced and the cause of much of its problems is that they pushed things to create really big, expansive but also intricate and complex levels, but because they were one of the first games able to do so with huge but detailed 3D free-roam level spaces like that, they didn't have the benefit of knowledge later games developed of the affordances and guides and assistance in getting around and mentally placing yourself that you need to incorporate to make those larger spaces actually work well and play fun.

This fight will always make me think of my summer camp girlfriend from 2000, who called during the holiday break of that year while I was in the middle of this fight and so I sat there for at least 30 minutes with the game paused while I talked to her. There's a lot going on in this battle so maybe that was the edge I needed in order to beat it?Quackles posted:I love how Grunty is extra enough that she keeps adding trivia questions doing the fight.

The final boss is great because it's a goofy mix up of stuff you've done while still feeling like a boss fight even as Grunty tells you to stop for trivia time.FoolyCharged posted:Nah. Let's just go to the party Ok, so now that we have seen the end I'll say that this wasn't just a gag. If you had tried to go back to bottles' house and enter the party after his revival you would have found yourself locked out of the house and allowed only to listen to the raging party inside and watch the disco lights glowing out the windows. I forget if anything fun happens with jingaling after his revival.
