This is a thread I can get behind, mostly because I'd sell my soul to Retro Studios.

I saw a new gameplay video recently ... the game's looking pretty hard. So, that's good.

Looking forward to it, for sure. I was so incredibly disappointed with the N64 game that it just seems right to have that "old" feel back.

I hated Donkey Kong 64 with a passion. It was a terrible game.

I dunno what you guys are talking about... I ate up DK 64 with a spoon and asked for seconds. I loved that genre, the 3d platformers or whatever you want to call it. Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Conker.... umm, other games. The point is, I thought DK 64 was a solid title.

That said, I love me some Donkey Kong Country. I made that first game my bitch and beat that shit harder than a cop beating somebody for being black on a Tuesday.

Thing is I hate 90% of 3D platformers. Only ones I can seem to stand are Mario games and I don't think they're nearly as good as the 2D games.

Play Sly 2 and 3.

Seriously, two of the best 3D platformers ever made since they add variety to the many minigames that pop up and work in stuff like combat and stealth in a way that isn't restricting. I love how they make the levels massive heists you have to pull off in several step plans, with the final part being the final move after knowing all the variables and info needed. It feels like you really accomplished something, and the mechanics are easy to use yet still make for a challenging game.

The Ratchet and Clank games are also win, adding creative weapons to the mix. My only issue with those is that the endings are usually weak compared to the rest of the story in the game.

And DK64 was okay, but way too much collecting the same stuff over and over. Got old as hell. As for this, sounds cool, but I have tons of games still to get at cheaper.

BONUS BACKSTORY: I won free rentals for a year at Blockbuster by winning that "World Championship" they held back in '95 with that speedrun DKC cart. Best part: 2nd place scored less than half my score. I crushed those fools.

As for DK64, I realize my taste in 3D games and N64 games in general is unpredictable at best. I loved Mario 64, hated DK64, hated Zelda 64, and moderately liked CV64. DK64 just felt too slow-paced and easy for me, as opposed to DKC, which felt medium-paced and easy. It's just that DK64 felt OBSCENELY easy and slow, especially starting out.

Yep, it is... but its one of those games where I really didn't care about the difficulty, I just wanted to see what was going to be thrown at me next. I liked all the different mini games and the requirement to beat a few levels of classic Donkey Kong in order to beat the game was a nice touch. Also, I remember the boss fights being pretty unique and fun.

And while we're on the 3d platformer kick and off topic, I just wanna say something... Glover is fun as shit and a great game, I don't give a fuck what anybody says.

DK64 was a cookie cutter of every other Rare 3D platformer. But it was still a brilliant game, proving Rare could do no wrong back in the day and left Super Mario 64 in the dust.*







*I hate Super Mario 64.

I'm sure people have had review copies of this game for weeks now. VGAs are lame but they're not stupid enough to nominate a game they haven't played. On second thought, maybe I'm giving them too much credit.

I'm 100% on board with this statement.

Definitely too much credit. VGA's are a lame-o Popularity contest.

I can't stand a lot of award shows really though.. Hate the Vma's hardcore. I can deal with the Oscars but even that seems rigged at times.

Don't watch the VGAs. I'll go on gametrailers the next day and see all the awesome game trailers (stupid pun) that will be shown. Arkham City trailer coming!! Also, bet you any money Uncharted 3 will be announced and it will be glorious!

Anyways, back on topic, anyone pick up DKC Returns? My girlfriend and I have discussed it and during the crazy Boxing Day sales in Canada we're going to try and pick up the red Wii package and DKC is on my list of games I want to pick up right away. Just wanted to hear from someone first hand how the game plays and if it's as awesome as more sites say it is.
