Whats the /v/eredict?
Is it a significant enough improvement over the original to justify buying it again?

They didn't rebuild the game from the ground up, so no.

Shill thread. Not an ad because no one is going to buy this shit for a third time

>>723237309
They moved the quizzes. It's still true though, the worlds are generic and dull, the enemies are still boring imp things, the bosses are mostly walls with faces, the combat is still limp and the minigames like carting and Rextro's slow ass puzzle game aren't very good. Bleh.

Rareware games were only good when they were told what to do by Nintendo. I don't want to subject myself to a game where I already know every collectible Golden Dildo will be gatekept by some series of mind numbing menial tasks, and that's 90% of the game.

>>723238420
i keep seeing very similarly phrased replies in these recent replaylee threads how the game is fixed now. when i dump on the games in these threads, people are never able to reply to my criticism with actual arguments. same thing happened when i was arguing why i didnt like TIL here. i find that very interesting.

>>723238604
that first thread is me. you can assume that any OP that shits on the game so openly is me. i hate this series and playtonic with a passion and i wish they'd stop shilling replaylee and TIL here already. its very obvious
>>
>>723238604
>most people here not liking the game
Its /v/s GOTY
>>
>>723236689

It’s “better” but it doesn’t feel like a Rare-inspired platformer anymore. It’s now just Mario Odyssey at home.
>>
>>723238767
>same thing happened when i was arguing why i didnt like TIL here
when the game came out, i mean.

fun story: i said TIL was shitty in part because it was really buggy and unpolished and i encountered a lot of bugs. someone said i was lying, works on my pc yada yada. so i started posting footage of clips i recorded of the game breaking and i was accused by several anons of intentionally trying to break the game. either that's a shill, or someone with his head shoved way way into his ass, and i find it very hard to believe that this mediocre slop series would have such dedicated fans even on /v/
>>
>>723238683
That’s the entire genre. I loved these games as a 10 year old but I don’t even understand how a grown man can stay engaged by this shit, Nintendo or otherwise.

It doesn't fix the fundamental issues the game has. The levels still get progressively worse after the swamp, they made combat more mindless (enemies take more damage, but you lock them in place with your practically invulnerable spin which you're now encouraged to spam), Kartos' track design wasn't altered so you still get dull slogs gathering gems with bad camera angles, and their solution to empty space was to dump filler pagies everywhere+add fast travel. Now the game showers you with fucking pagies and since you have all your moves unlocked from the start, the number ultimately means nothing. Imagine if every fucking Jinjo in Banjo-Kazooie gave you a jiggy and then when you get the last one, you get THREE MORE jiggies. That's what they did to the Ghost Writers.

But you already fucking know this. Don't bullshit me by saying you hate the game because you're clearly dismissing all criticism posted which is why nobody is taking the threads seriously at this point.
>>
>>723236689
Not buying this shit until it has a 60 fps mode for switch 2. Completely unacceptable.
>>
>>723239165
what? did you reply to the wrong post or something, because i dont disagree with everything you said. i played the demo and looked up footage alone and it just feels like they took the game and turned it from a bad banjo clone into a bland mario odyssey clone, no fucking thanks.

kinda baffled how people are saying the game is fixed now. some of it was, like at least you wont fight with the controls or camera anymore, but its still a soulless uninspired game. if anything the fixes make it more obvious that the platforming and exploring just arent very engaging.

Vinny loved it and is planning a full playthrough, it's /v/ certified now.

Also, I love how there's so little stuff to actually show about the game that the trailer flat out has part of the ending in it.

Hate this fucking "awe shucks guys" attitude the devs are trying to give this game like it's some underappreciated gem born in le wrong generation. There are a myriad of very glaring issues that a collecthon platformer made by people who apparently know what they're doing just shouldn't have. And this "remake" that just shakes the snow globe tells me the devs should tongue my anus.
>>
>>723237309
you seemed pretty sure of yourself regarding what was or wasn’t included in the remake. Stop talking about games you haven’t even played
>>
The original YL was fucking trash. Impossible Lair was pretty good. I don’t care to buy the remake
>>
>>723236689
It wasn't worth buying the first time
>>
>>723238821
didn’t they remove the BK style font and text boxes during character conversation as well? The game was already pretty soulless but the remake is like anti soul
>>
>>723236689
>Buying it again
I dunno about that. It IS worth buying if you never played the original though.
>>
>>723240807
The original is so mediocre I think it's worth atleast pirating it if you own the original

The text box change is good. The game should have SOME of it's own identity, not just completely copy Banjo beat for beat.

“totally not” Rare had been trying to make “totally not” Banjo Kazooie for over a decade. Sad.

Yeah, you're just sticking around for no reason and typing the same way every time. Okay, dude.

Why did you fags lie and say that replaylee no longer has the gibberish voices anymore?
>>
I haven’t played BK in like 15 years yet can hum the tune to almost every level. I played YL back on release (2015?) and can’t tell you how a single song goes

Yooka-Laylee has an identity crisis.

I hate how Yooka and Laylee look now but the environments don't look bad. The tech isn't great though, the LOD feels a bit too aggressive and the AA leaves a lot to be desired, lots of shimmering and shadows disappear when you collect a Pagie for some reason.

So while I think the new visuals were the most accomplished part of Replaylee it also was the least necessary. The original looked mostly fine. The gameplay changes were ironically the most needed yet least good thing about it.
>>
>>723243179
she looks like a sesame street muppet
>>
>>723243643
No, those look charming. I feel Laylee's detailed fur looks bad, it makes her look shaggy, it's fucky with dark lighting and her big ugly red nose is distracting. I also don't like her body shapes, but that might be getting into nitpicking territory.

The graphical options in Replaylee are very lacking. I don't know what kind of AA it uses, but Unity has FXAA, SMAA aand TAA implemented by default and you can't change which type it is or even the antialiasing level which is a super fucking easy to implement.

>market your 3d platformer by going HEY LOOK WERE THE OLD RARE GUYS WERE MAKING A NEW BANJO
>game comes out and has no identity beyond "not Banjo" but everybody focuses on shit like bad controls, bad camera and shitty levels
>new yooka game comes out, which they claim isnt inspired by DKC but clearly is to the point of shamelessly ripping off several levels from the new games you didnt work on
>series is now the bootleg rare game franchise, nobody even plays TIL because everyone who saw it just immediately thought "oh its gonna be a bad dkc clone"
>make a remake of your 3d platformer by HIRING THAT MAN to do the visuals and making it rip off odyssey instead
>franchise now has zero fucking identity left, its just "let's just rip off any good game we can think of"

Is it any wonder Replaylee is flying under the radar? What's there to get excited about? They might do a racer next, but like Who even cares? They'll probably rip off Mario Kart 8's anti-gravity and/or Crossworlds' mechanic instead of just making a game with its own identity because that's what they always do, throw a bunch of unrelated mechanics from better games together and then make a bunch of jokes about how much their games suck ass.
