Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I realize this is a very unpopular opinion, but I can't be the only one who feels this way.
When I heard DKC was coming back, and being made by Retro studios, I was ecstatic. I'm a huge fan of the first three games. When I finally got around to playing Returns, and then later, Tropical Freeze, something about the games didn't click with me the same way DKC did. I think the main thing is the atmosphere - in the original three games, the art style and atmosphere was very different. It was more realistic, more oppressive, and less "goofy". The cartoony look and feel of DKCR and TF is very off putting.
Now, I realize Retro did a lot of things right, and did them very well:
-Mechanically, the new games are much more advanced and control more tightly, boss fights are much more involved
-Attention to detail is superb and you can tell the games were crafted with love for the material (seeing other stages in the background is my personal favorite example of this)
-Added their own little quirks, such as the silhouette levels
-Music in Tropical Freeze may be the best in the series
But despite all this, when I look at each set of games and judge them subjectively by the time period and environment that they were released in, I end up preferring the originals. Does anyone else agree with me, and if so, why?
Edit: I realize it's strange to argue for an opinion by defending the games I like less, but I don't dislike Returns or Tropical Freeze. And I can't put my finger on the exact reason I prefer the originals, besides that they were "more enjoyable for their time" and that the art style and atmosphere seemed more appealing.
