Nuts and Bolts

I believe I promised you a rant on Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, so here it is. I mentioned in a previous post that this game raped my childhood, let me explain. The first thing you see in game is this.

Thanks microsoft, that gave me nightmares. Later you get assulted by this little prick.

One of the most annoying characters I've ever seen. He calls himself LOG (Lord of Games). He's basicly an old tv with a purple cape.

He goes on to say that nobody likes platfom style game. Guess what you idiot, I do! And I know several lpers and friends that like the old-school platformers. What now bitch? He annoys the crap out of me. So because he thinks that nobody likes platformers he changes the style to a raceing game. Why would you do that? There is nothing wrong with platformers, nothing! Almost all of my favorite games are platformers, LoZ, the original BK, Psychonauts, to name a few.

Almost all of the famous games and game series are platformers. 

They also changed the character designs, and not for the better. 

Humba Wumba Old Style

Humba Wumba New Style

Her hair is now black, she now looks half-black insted of native american.  She looks even more different in-game.

Mumbo Old Style

Mumbo New Style

Why?  He looks cooler when he's not a smooth baby pink.  He looks cooler as his original form.

Bottles Old Style

Bottles New Style

He looks more nerdy now.  Why?  He no longer looks like someone you would get kick-ass moves from, he looks like a Wal-Mart greeter or something.  And WTF is with that tie?

Also in the opening cutscene you see that Spiral Mountian, which I loved for being this pristene natural place, has been all trashed out and has garbage everywhere.

My favorite place in the whole game was "Banjoland" a world where you could go and remember the good old times when the games didn't suck. 

Peace love and all that jazz
