and I'm tired of pretending otherwiseDKC3 has:Better bosses, levels, world map, bonus stages, visuals, postgame. DKC has more iconic characters and music
>>695189967Its just way less consistent. DKC3 has some of the best and worst levels in the series and kiddy kong is fucking annoyingalso the atmosphere just isn't as strong as DKC1 or 2. Also there is impact when you improve on something, then go backwards some. DKC2 is such an insane improvement over DKC1, so DKC3 looks worse in comparison since it came after even though I'm pretty sure if it had been DKC2 people would see it as a decent sequel. The game has pretty bad performance on certain levels though as well.

>>695190301I thought the atmosphere was stronger than DKC1, although probably not 2. I agree that 3 appears worse because 2 was pretty much a perfect sequel
>>695189967you're dogshit. DKC2 is the best, followed by DKC. everything else can be forgotten.
>>695189967>better levelslol every level is a gimmick. DKC1 has the best everything except bosses.
Impressively shit opinion
>>695189967the GBA port is extremely underrated and overlooked with the David Wise music
>>695189967DKC1: perfectDKC2: gimmickyDKC3: gimmicky but fun
>better bossesnigga kill yourself
>>695189967>and I'm tired of pretending otherwiseDKC3 has:Better bosses, levels, world map, bonus stages, visuals, postgame.DKC has more iconic characters and musicQFT. I just replayed all of them last year.
>>695189967Is Trixie of age?
>>695190301>the atmosphere just isn't as strong as DKC1 or 2This, and the main reason why I repeatedly play those games and never go back to 3
>>695192612Donkey Kang if he real
>>695189967I only play the GBA version because it's the only version with good music.
>>695189967yes, but music is a big onebut now there's the david wise GBA soundtrack in high qualityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzqn_awPL5khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17rZ17aqNm4I still really like the SNES soundtrack though, but it invokes a different moodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qntu2QvHQRE>>695190301>kiddy kong is fucking annoyinghis tantrum when you lose a life is the best
Was it schizophrenia?
>>695192763Good music designed around one of the worst soundchips ever
Worse than 2, don't (You) me.
2 > 1 > 3 for meI agree with the 2nd poster, DKC3 isn't as consistent as the first two games but had some great levels.
>>695192763the snes soundtrack is good
>>695189967I think DKC3 is just too silly or weird.Of course there are some little things I like but overall it's just not for me.If it was something in between the first two games, it would be good.For me DKC2 just feels right.
>>695189967North American nature scapes are my favorite setting so I love it. Rockface Rumble (gba) is a jam too.
>>695189967The whole trilogy is kino, definitely prefer Wise's music but I still like 3's soundtrack.
>>695189967No, it's the junk food version of DKC. Worse characters, worse music, worse animals with that stupid ass elephant, half the content is junky repetitive bonus barrel challenges, and the canuck theme is ugly. The world map and vehicles are simple level locks and offer no gameplay value. There isn't a single hidden level to find by exploring the map.
>>695193552>There isn't a single hidden level to find by exploring the mapI assume you're ignoring the entirety of the lost world?
>>6951899672 is probably better overall but 3 was the first DK game I 100% so it has a special place in my heart.
>>695189967Fuck no. The music is terrible, the bonuses fucking suck, nobody likes playing as an obese retarded infant, and the level design is gimmicky and weird. 2 >= 1 > 3 is the only correct opinion and everything else is contrarian. You could argue it's not a bad game, but saying it's the best is such a bad opinion it's almost bait.
>>695193679The bear tells you to drive in a circle around the rocks. That's not exploration.
>>695193439It's below average.
1 isn't that great.
>>6951940732 is alright
>>695193890>The music is terribleNot as good as 1 or 2 but I disagree.>the bonuses fucking suckI don't mind them.>nobody likes playing as an obese retarded infantI do.>the level design is gimmicky and weird.I like their weirdness. Maybe not quite as good as 2 but still fun.For me it's 2 >= 1 = 3
>>695191263>>695192028>>695193890>Le DKC3 is le gimmicky!Get better material, and better taste too, DKC2 babies

>>695195456Oh no no no no no...... >DKC3 has a great soundtrackAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>695193061No he just has a nagging wife and wants a hobby
>>695193890I never said it was better than DKC2, it isn't.
>>695195337>calls two posters who outright stated dkc1 is the best "dkc2 babies"Get better material, and better taste too, DKC3 baby. Actually no, I think I see why you like 3 so much. Dixie's paired up with (You) in it.

>>695197317I recently listened to this guy's DKC2 playlist and it sounds so good.
>>695195456Love rockface rumble.One of my favourites. It always reminds me of that level with the burning rope and you have to escape upward.
I like how closely the level themes are to the map compared to the first two where they're sort of willy nilly. Like when you're in Lemguin Lunge and you can sort of see the terrain from K3 in it.
>>695197708I've listened to his restorations of all the snes DKC games and they're pretty excellent across the board. Sometimes an instrument won't sound quite right but asides from that it sounds just like how I remember.
>>695197974Yeah that was a pretty cool minor improvement, I think it got better and better over the trilogy.

>>695192361DKC1 bosses are literal dogshit. They're just larger versions of existing enemies. One isn't even a real boss, just a stationary sprite that spawns normal enemies. The only good boss in the game is K Roll.
Never liked 1. It's nice that it spawned the better games, but for me it's kinda like the first Mario on NES compared to 3 or World. Thanks for existing, but I can't stand you.

DKC trilogy remake when??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixl2TGIvGUA
2 > 3 > 1But Tropical Dong is the best.
Just because DKC3 is good doesn't mean it's a good game.
>>695197708>>695198328Don't remember where but there's also a Spyro GBA music restoration.
>>695199931When Miyamoto dies, unironically
>>695191379If it wasn’t for the screen crunch all of the SNES-to-GBA ports by Nintendo would be considered the definitive versions. But that resolution is just too much to give up in these side-scrollers.
>>695199717It's amazing that just having one really upbeat ass Bonus Song that plays in every stage helped the otherwise dreary soundrack.It's also one of the few songs Wise did for DKC3 so go figure it's the best one
>>695200487Eh. DKC gba is kind of an improvement. 2 is fucking ass. 3 treads the line, huge graphical downgrade but you have admit the music is way better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvYECUbgCBY
>>695194724>>695197194I respect your opinion.
DKC is just Crash Bandicoot for children and male-to-female transgender males.
>>695200259miyamoto likes dkche even put a talking cranky kong in universal studios
Was 64 a good followup to the trilogy?
i actually liked fish food frenzyall the cave levels are fucking dogshit though, fuck the waterfall levels as well
>>695201913no
>>695189967Yeah I agreeYou won't find many free thinkers on here though, most anons shitting on 3 haven't even played it
>>695201993You don't have to play a game to know it's bad.
Every DKC scholar knows that 2 > 3 > 1. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a zoomer who took his opinions from youtubers.
>>695201913I love it, warts and all, but good lord, no. It started out as more of a traditional DKC game originally, though. Not sure how that would've worked out. Maybe if it stayed 2.5D? Who knows.
>>695205387>It started out as more of a traditional DKC game originally, though.Oh boy, the exact same game a FOURTH time
>>695207708Yeah, I don't know. I kinda doubt it would've been "exactly" the same, given the added dimension to the equation. It might've been full on 3D DKC for all we know. Whether or not it would've been good is the real question. Depends on how much you liked DKC3 since it's the same team that made DK64.
>>695189967>the best Donkey Kong games are the ones where he doesn't matter
>>695192668>>695190301I love the summer holidays vibe of DKC3 fuck off
>>695208963He's literally way too basicDixie has a cool helicopterDiddy is fast, looks cool and got himself a gfKiddy can kick water while rollingWhat does DK have?
>when Fear Factory kicks in
I don't care about soundtracks in Rare games, it's all circus clown music made for toddlers.
>>695189967It should have been Dixie Kong's Double Penetration!
>>695209746slamming the ground and being able to take out larger enemies without needing a barrel
>>695194014It isn't. DKC3 gets to hang out with Sonic CD in the prestigious category of "Games with TWO god-tier OSTs".
>>695194724I feel the same way. 2 slightly > 3 = 1
>>69520191364 is a cool, atmospheric, but flawed Banjo game with DK characters.
>>6951923611 has terrible bosses.
>>695199294Pretty good summary of how I feel about DKC1 and original Mario, though can't stand bit too strong. Will always be grateful for the foundation they laid but with sequels that are just so, so much better in existence I have no desire to ever replay you.
>>695208963Unironically it was pretty brave of them to change the main character for each game
>>695189967I loved this game when I got it for Christmas back in 1996, and I had played DKC 1 & 2 to death by then. The Canadian countryside setting of 3 was a breath of fresh air from the tired-out jungle/tropical island setting of the previous games. Hated playing as Kiddie though, and used Dixie through 99% of the game. I also thought the entire game was piss-easy compared to the last two games.
>>695189967Based, DKC3 also has a great soundtrack
