I really hope this is more like Kazooie than Tooie. The excessive minigames are the only thing I didn't like about Tooie.

I hope the arcade minigames are at least fun or on par with the ones in Tooie.

 

[Danis Saur]

All I care is that it plays like Banjo Kazooie, where collecting feels good. Don't care about graphics or story or "annoying" sounds from characters, just give me the good Rareware collecthaton experience.

Complete opposite here. Prefer Tooie over Kazooie and the mini games are a large part of the reason why.

Snake Pass has a 73% metacritic and I absolutely loved it. Would have seriously missed out on some pure fun if I let scores dictate what I try.

For the title I like this but whatever

April 11th for $40 on Xbox One, PS4, and Steam. So a week from today.

The Nintendo Switch will get a release later. There is also a deluxe bundle on Steam that includes bonus goodies.

Thanks man, i don't know why i thought it was gonna be 19.99 dollars, but it's fine i am more than happy paying 40 bucks for it.

It was 15£ so close to 20$ for backers of the digital version.

Honestly, I think it'd be better for everyone if we avoid having gene pool Jon mentioned in the thread title. Don't want the OT off to a bad start

[Nasbin]

I think people are underselling just how niche the late 90s 3D collectathon platformer is in 2017. Metacritic doesn't treat super niche games very well. I wouldn't anticipate a high aggregate score or really care about it for that matter.

I think it's best if we avoid talking about him all together in the OT.

[Baleoce]

Pretty much anyone who cares about this game just wants it to play like a new banjo Kazooie. And at least half of the things that it's succeeding in doing that with, it's being criticised for.

 

[benzopil]

6 more hours

 

[ramparter]

Actually 5 hours (plus few minutes) according to OP counter

You're on the right track. The pagies (and preferably the cagies as well) should be inculded in the OT title

[Diprosalic]

Ok.

you really only need a twitter handle these days to become a "source".
he was 100% wrong about everything related to the switch, deleted his tweets and people still take him seriously.

i'm gonna be a twitter "insider" when the next console comes out, seems like a great gig.

follow me @totallyanindustryinsideriswear for some juicy ps5 news.

sorry for the derail.

looking forward to some YL reviews soon. i think it will be a mixed bag with some reviewers not caring about collectathlons while others love it.

I'm​ really looking forward to this game, so I really hope it's good. Jim's comments were a bit concerning. Still, hopefully I'll enjoy this game even if it reviews poorly, as Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie are two of my favorite games of all time (and Kazooie was in fact the first game I'd ever played, and is directly responsible for the love and passion I still have for gaming today). I also hope it's more like those games than DK64 (ugh).

There really should be some pun in there. What's a rare game without puns? And googly eyes, too.

[Bert409]

6/10 to 7.5/10 is what you give soulless Ubisoft/EA/Activision shit; not what is hopefully a worthy successor to a masterpiece like B-K. If it really scores that lowly then there damn well better be a good reason for it.

 

[DieNgamers]

If it's bad (I'm positive it won't be)
