    Tried to get my dad to buy this game. Unfortunately for both of us, he was not stupid.

    The funny thing to me is, I think that 3D render is either from Conker’s Pocket Tales (an isometric GameBoy game using the original family friendly plan for the character), or for the original family friendly N64 game before they shifted gears entirely into Bad Fur Day.

      You won’t enjoy it, but it’ll be a nice novelty. Every time I go back and try to play these games I find that modern gaming ruined it for me

        Nah I’ve done it. I don’t mind how retro the graphics and sounds are honestly. The important bit is the story and how fun the mechanics feel.

        Not with that attitude and optimism you wont…. I play n64 games from my childhood all the time in the worst lag filled lcd tv way possible and it looks horrible. Honestly could care less they are still a ton of fun

            The team that made Banjo-Kazooie, a cutesy animal mascot platforming game, made another animal mascot platforming game that was as not child friendly as possible and had tons of references to pop culture media and movies at the time.

            One of your first goals is to cure your hangover. Along the way, you give laxatives to cows, collect bees to tickle a flower with big boobs to stop covering them up so you can use them as a jump pad, murder living teddy bears filled with meat in a war, have a boss battle against a giant opera singing pile of shit (probably the most well known scene of the game, the great mighty poo), and more. It was shocking for the N64 era, and they really worked some programming magic to get absolutely every ounce of power they could out of it.

            If you have xbox gamepass, it’s included in Rare Replay (which at least used to be part of gamepass).

            It’s been years since I played, but I remember one of the bosses being a literal pile of shit who did a song and dance number.

            long, clunky, banjo-kazooie-like (hub world with levels in order). 💰is king and conker needs it. there’s a villain somewhere in there but who cares.

            begins with silly squirrel garden shenanigans, turns into modern-day (at the time) pop-cultural references, ends with

            SERIOUS END OF GAME SPOILERS, LIKE ALL OF THEM

            re-enacting the horrors of D-Day ala Saving Private Ryan, then the Matrix, then its Alien.

            Worst best game ever 10/10

            e: Oh there’s also lots of curse words. and titties sometimes. weird, strange, glorious flower titties. It’s creative, mom!!!

              It’s so weird when an old game or show does a skit referencing the Matrix. The first movie does not seem like it’s that old, but then all the pop culture it created makes you realize it was a quarter century ago.

              Weirdly, anything with Saving Private Ryan in the same way just seems natural.
