Quote:You say this sometimes, but then in the arguements you get quite ... insistent... that you are the only possible correct person, it sure seems.
Oh, and I just don't see these great reasons. I see some, that might make you like it more, but to the degree you seem to feel about it? No.
I explained very clearly how much better the controls, level design, graphics, and platforming elements in Banjo are than in DK64. What more do you want??
Quote:I played DK64 and B-T two days ago. I've played five hours of B-T this last week. So I play them regularly too. And I see plenty of platforming in both games... how about you say what you mean by 'platforming'. Do you mean jumping puzzles? I'm not sure... but thats what i think of when you say 'platforming'. And both games have plenty of that... I don't see how BT has so much more. Both DK64 and BT have lots of backtracking to get items you missed. DK64 might have a little more, but its NOT any dramatic thing... you have all kinds of items to get in BT.
Now BK, that did, I believe, have less collecting... but I haven't been talking about that game because I haven't played it that much...
Yes I mean "jumping puzzles". None of the characters in DK lend themselves to challenging jumping puzzles (the way they control and the way they jump make it very difficult to have good jumping puzzles), and I never once had difficulties with a jumping puzzle in that game. The Banjo games (especially BK) are the complete opposite, with many many jumping puzzles, and plenty that are actually tough!
Quote:Only in your own mind.
Oh, and no response to the first paragraph of that quote I had there? Huh... but you usually don't really respond in any length to the parts that I put the most work into.
What the hell are you talking about?
Quote:Also... I got DK64 at Christmas '99. Is that so different from you that you need to constantly say that I didn't have a N64 in 1996 or something? Sure its a bit different for me (I never bought a N64 game for more than $50, for example, and got the system for $100 with two controllers) but not THAT dramatic.
And its not like I wasn't informed, given that I read magazines and the internet...
I just haven't played much of B-K. Just a store demo once and several hours with the rom, which is why I won't compare the graphics -- roms don't look the same as the real thing, I know.
Its a pretty good game but I don't see how its so much better than DK64... maybe because to me its not...
Wow, you read magazines???!!
The reason why I bring up these dates is because you will never have enough time to devote yourself entirely to these N64 games like us "old-timers". We only got a couple of good games a year, and we (or at least I) spent up to a year on each game, beating it several times and memorizing every single inch of the game. I did that with all of the N64 platformers, so I'm a good judge of which platformer is the best.
Quote:Oh, and I really think its SO STUPID that you must keep saying I have low standards for games. It is just FALSE... I just have DIFFERENT ONES FROM YOU. That is DIFFERENT, not "I LIKE BAD GAMES"...
WHATEVER helps you SLEEP at NIGHT, ABF.
Quote:I don't know about battery life, I don't see there being much they can do to bring it above Nomad or maybe Game Gear levels... battery technology hasn't improved much.
Battery technology hasn't improved much from the 90's?? Do you seriously think that??? Hahaha, oh my! Nintendo is a very cheap company, and they always find the cheapest way to make their hardware. Nintendo got a cheap, rechargable battery for the GBA SP which lasts over 15 hours, so just imagine how much battery life Sony could get out of something better, more expensive. This isn't Sega we're talking about. This is Sony, the inventer of a million handheld devices. They're not going to fuck this up, believe me. They didn't get ahead of the console industry by being stupid.
