I’m glad to see pushback on DKC, like I was about DK64. DKC2 is the only one I really enjoyed, the rest aren’t great. Being honest, I think Rare has been overhyped for years.
Konker is a fun concept, but it’s honestly a pretty bad game. And I’ve played it through and through a few times. It feels bad giving any sort of criticism to developers who absolutely pushed the hardware limits of their consoles.
Part of why Conker doesn’t feel like a good game to me is that the story feels totally disjointed. The emphasis on shock value overrode everything of value.
thats what made it so great, it poked at every trope it could within its boundaries, which with nintendo was insane.
the great mighty poo! and that sunflower with the bouncies. 12 year old me was astounded even back then nintendo let them get away with it. Even the multiplayer modes where you are nazi teddy bears was insane for its time.
