Yooka-Laylee Review

TheGreatKoala said:Ha! Exact same for me. : )

Will definitely buy this.

Raz86 said:I would say he is just a very bad debater and isn't able to articulate his points very well but there is a very legitimate case to be made against mass imigration and for a ethicly and culturally cohesive state. On the economic side there is the overproportional dependency on welfare and the suppression of wages and several different negative social and cultural effects.
If you genuinely think opposing mass imigration is silly or racist I would advise you to read Milton Friedman for the economic aspects and Robert Putnams "Diversity and Community in the 21st century" for the social aspects.
I won't claim here they are 100% right but there is at least a legitimate argument to be made that support what Jontron presumably argues for.
I definately agree that Jontron isn't a racist. In fact I would claim that despite all the fuzz about it racism is pretty much a neglectable factor in explaining overall social phenomenons.

Think this is the highest review I've seen of it so far. I like how most reviews online are dogging it for being what it's supposed to be.

TheGreatKoala said:Yet you already discussed it when you said "being a racist or supporting a racist."
Huh. If anyone should be pointing that out, why should it be you?

This game is looking exactly what I was expecting/hoping it would be. Can't wait personally. I just hope that now I'm 28 this will still have the same charm as when I played the Banjo games all those years ago.

TheGreatKoala said:Clearly showing the topic is not open for discussion and clearly showing I have realised my mistake in responding to it to begin with

EDIT: And I haven't deleted the post because it's part of the conversation now, so the topic is disjointed

TheGreatKoala said:Alright, I was quick to point you out. Too much political garble to read through!

Quickdontdie said:

OT, Yep, I'm totally seeing the Gru resemblance on Capital B

Really looking forward to this, regardless of crappy camera controls or framerate issues. We've finally got a "sequel" to Banjo-Tooie and that's all I care about.

This is hands down the most positive review I've seen yet. The camera messing up shouldn't be ignored, but I feel it's only gonna remind me of playing an old N64 game, which is what I wanted in the first place. Beyond excited about this game.

Purce said:I mean I'd personally just prefer a good camera over a bad one, the bad one being retro doesn't help much.

Elyoh said:The only reason I brought it up is because he did a voice for the game and got patched out due to his statements. So I was genuinely curious about what part of the "JonTron thing" pissed them off. I'm not trying to debate the merits of capitalism over socialism here but when it relates to games and changes to their development it seems fair game. Especially since it did have an effect on the game - him getting removed from it.

Quickdontdie said:It depends. People loved the re-release of the old Banjo-Kazooie games. So releasing a game in that same vein doesn't really seem like the worst idea.

Fanta Morgana said:I agree with you completely there, JonTron made some claims that were false or poorly sourced. The regressive leftist media has created this divisiveness that simply opposing or being critical of forced mass immigration; you're labelled a racist, a facist, a Nazi. They throw labels at people and it's prevented civil discourse.
I blame Polygon, Kotaku and all the other corrupt games media sites for pressuring PlayTonic studios for removing JonTron from the game. If they'd have not said anything to the studio, they'd have been none of this controversy and outrage.
I'm a classical liberal person with some right leaning opinions on some issues. I enjoy Arnold Schwartzenegger movies and he's right wing conservative, his personal political opinions don't stop me from enjoying his films and I don't go around telling movie studios to stop casting him in roles.

Hi guys,

Instead of removing the posts, because we feel they are still constructive, we have left them alone. Yes, they are off topic and venture in to the "no politics" territory, but they don't get uncivil.

Moving forward in this thread, let's keep the discussion on topic and relevant to Yooka-Laylee.

Thank you!

As a long time Banjo and 3D platformer fan, I've been used to dodgy cameras and awkward swimming for a while now, so neither of those problems are enough to put me off.

I do however have my expectations tempered, being how this is a Kickstarted 'spiritual successor', but juding by most gameplay, it seems to be vastly more... honest than say, Mighty No 9.

most reviews ive seen so far on this game are so funny they hate the game because the successor to banjo game looks and play like banjo...

your review is the best so far in my opinion.

XBA reviews ew only gave the game 55/100, which is pretty low even for them. I was going to get this right away. It wait for a patch to fix the controls issues and bugs.
