Honestly, fuck Xbox. They killed Banjo
>>741329338Sonic Adventure killed Banjo. That's why only the first Banjo game sold well, then people saw what a real GOAT 3D platformer looked like and forgot Banjo existed.
>>741329338Nuts & Bolts was Rare's own decisionIf Nintendo saw this, they'd unironically support itEspecially if Miyamoto saw it
People like tears of the kingdom there for N&B was ahead of its time.
>>741329338>all key developers go on to say they don't give a shit, they don't want to make another banjo game, no one would like it, etc>smash cultists still try to force this idea that banjo was ever goodlol
>>741329338Or you all disregarded a 8/10 game. Honestly one of the best X360 games.
>>741329338This game is actually really good, /v/ just gaslit themselves into hating it
CARS?!?!?
>NOOOO WHERE IS MY BING BING WAHOO PLATFORMERnuts and bolts was the best in the series
>Cutest Humba Wumba design>Missed out on a generation of lewds because people will fucking lynch you for acknowledging Nuts & Bolts
>>741330905No he wouldn’t he’d be like wtf is this, stick to the fucking formula
I played this with a friend this year and we fucking loved it. I enjoy all 3 Banjo games. They're all very diversified, ambitious, and different from one another.
>>741334472We're talking about the same guy who shot down Twilight Princess 2 and told the team to make Link's Crossbow training instead
>>741334472Nintendo literally copied it you retard.N&B was a great fucking game that had terrible PR thanks to faggot youtubers telling people what to think. Later stages of that game required actual thinking and strategy; something 99% of gamers lack.Also the soundtrack alone was worth $60.
>>741329338rare killed banjo by not making a new game for him when they were still good at making videogames
>>741336817They literally ran out of ideas for a traditional Banjo Kazooie
>>741337061I mean based on their output after BT it seems like they ran out ideas in general
>>741335208based
>>741337129Viva PinataAlso, Nuts & Bolts is genuinely a creative idea
>>741337895I'll give you viva pinata, I've never actually played it. I put it on my modded 360 though, I should really get around to trying it out. Nuts and Bolts is a decent idea executed poorly, and is wearing the wrong skin. should've been a new IP
>>741337938Viva Pinata starts slow but once your garden hits a certain point it becomes addicting trying to manage everything
*stands up boldly*I liked nuts and bolts.
>>741332149its very very good and one of the best looking xbox 360 games too, some of the levels are downright gorgeous
>>741340689>fakes mocking a baby while crying himselfIt was pretty good, a 8, maybe 7.5
>>741329338The problem with Nuts & Bolts is that it wasn't as funny
>>741331293Why is he such a bitter faggot?
>>741329338>fuck Xbox. They killed Banjobased, gatekeep wokies from ruining another franchise
>>741329338The problem is that its vehicle onlyThe hub and soundtrack are the best part of it but also its biggest weakness: everytime you play you just get more frustrated by the fact its NOT an ADVENTURE or PLATFORMER
>>741343430yooka laylee flopped
>>741329338the nortubel of banjo kazooie
>>741343430See >>741330905Rare didn't have anything about N&B forced onto them by Microsoft, they genuinely thought their fans would love the direction they took sooner or later (you can read gaming interviews with Gregg Mayles IIRC from around the time N&B was released where he said this). The problem is that never happened, and even if the Banjo fanbase coped by blaming it on Microsoft's management, they were still shitting on Rare's new brainchild and the main people never got over that. They'd rather leave Banjo to rot.
>>741343736A big problem is that Rare had a lot of fair-weather fans. When Rare left Nintendo a lot of "fans" held unfounded resentment regardless of Rare's output.Me, I followed Rare from beginning to end and enjoyed their output right up until they became a Kinect slop maker. But Sea Of Thieves showed they still had heart. Unfortunately Gregg Mayles has now retired after the success of SoT, so it's probably over for the studio.
>>741334706>I enjoy all 3 Banjo gamesReally? Even this one?
>>741329338>Banjo Nuts in Kazooie & Bolts
>>741344321The bond (or juxtaposition) between Banjo and Kazooie helped out a lot. The problem was N&B massively de-emphasized them as a duo, because their duoness isn't going to be relevant when you're just building/driving cars.
>>741344321I love N&B, but I can agree his design in that game was mediocre. He can be done properly though, look at him in Smash Bros, he looks great.
>>741344375Based.
>>741344439Nah Gregg is based. You faggots lacked the depth and intelligence to enjoy N&B so now you get nothing.Daily reminder that the Banjo Threeie experiment was already done with Yooka Laylee which completely flopped. Between N&B and Yooka what do you think will be remembered better in 20 years?Gregg won.
>>741329418And then accidentally killed SEGA consoles forever.Woops.
>>741329338Rare killed Banjo on their own, they hate doing straight sequels to begin with and bled their own talent dry.
>>741344598He made a theme for the (in-universe) video game villain in the first episode.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_0CXDmH6R4&pp=ygUOc25hcHBlcnMgdGhlbWU%3DWasn't really impressed. Smiling Friends had a parody of this style of music made by someone who's not him and it sounded better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjG3DU_x-nw&pp=ygUGZ3JveGlh
>>741344568All he needed to do was market it as a spinoff.
