    The reactions over Yooka-Laylee is why I can't stand a lot of modern gamers. The gaming community as a whole is full of entitled adult children who will find any little thing to complain and bitch about. This game looks delightful and as just a nice little throwback to Banjo-Kazooie, it's not supposed to be exactly like it. Caddy's negative points about the game are pretty valid in my opinion. Glad I watched this video. Thanks, Caddy

      You and Leon don't seem to think outside the box and that is what makes you just as bad as those "modern gamers" and adult children... The problems that people have with this game is that doesn't fix any of the problems from those old N64 games and it just use nostalgia to gain attention. I love GTAIV, but when I take the nostalgia glasses off I can see why many people dislike the game. I overall didn't enjoy Yooka Laylee and I see it as a let down. If you guys enjoy it, great! But don't be blind and forcing opinion as fact.

      Basically, an *extremely* vocal portion of the internet gaming community (many of which are among the same people who made a big stink over the removal of JonTron's cameo from Yooka-Laylee) took issue with some opinionated tweets he posted (mostly over his lack of a desire to make a PC port of Fez since he prefered consoles) and basically harassed him for it. Then once a "professional" journalist called him a "fucking hipster", he had a total nervous breakdown, canceled Fez 2 and shut down his studio.

    Nearly everything that I have read about the game, positive or negative, indicates to me that the developers delivered almost exactly what they promised. I can understand people who enjoy the formula and I can understand people who find the style dated and poorly aged, but I cannot understand people who backed the project and were disappointed by the end-result.
    I did not back the game (I actually had played through Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 recently as part of my backlog and I have had enough of that style) so I have no real personal interest, but if this game really is "bad", it is only "bad" because a significant number of people backed what was promised all along to be a "bad" game.

    I was really surprised by how split the reviews for the game were. I did hear that the review copies were in a bit of a shocking state. So I'm guessing that's why some review scores were as low as 2/10. When I got my hands on it post patch on the PC it ran like a dream.
    I realise the game isn't perfect and there are a few irritating things here and there. I haven't really been bothered by the voices because I've been doing a let's play so I've been talking over them. I do agree with most of the points you made though. It's a shame this game has been slammed by so many reviewers. It really did deliver what it promised in the kickstarter campaign. I think most people would like it if they gave it a chance.

    For me this is a solid 7/10. My problem with Jim Sterling's review is that he gave it a 2/10. A review implies that it is worse than Mighty Number 9, with a current trend of his content being more controversial than being good gaming content.

      It suffers from the same flaws as those games made over 10 years ago.
      But that's just my opinion.

    I think yooka laylee is a pretty good game. I don't know about all of you but I enjoy these types of 3d platformer like banjo and conker and crash bandicoot. Even if you guys disagree with me, well that's okay. Everybody should be able to have their own opinions including critics and just average players.

  • @Modtro64
    @Modtro64 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I personally don't care about the controversy Yooka-Laylee has unintentionally stirred up. I care about a developer who wants to bring that classic "Collect-a-thon" genre back into the modern world. I plan to get Yooka-Layee to show my support for the developers when I get the cash for it. But I can say, hand on heart, I love what the game has become. A charming callback to 3D platformers of the 90s

    I think they just picked bad voices for the grunts. Like...they're a fraction of a second too long between grunts, and they're (yes definitely) too loud.

      The "no one asked for this" insult is dumb in my opinion, anyway; if it was made, then someone asked for it - the person who made it did, and got tired of waiting, so they made it themselves, and there were lots of things that we didn't ask for, that we ended up liking anyway.

      Yeah, that was my main problem with the voices. I had no problem with noises being used as the voices as I found it quite charming in Banjo Kazooie. But so many characters in Yooka Laylee just had downright unappealing noises chosen for characters' voices (e.g. the godawful screechy noises the shopping carts made in the marsh level).

      My favorite review is from an spanish page called anaitgames which gave it a 6.
      The issue is that absolutely horrible games have gotten 8s and 9s from pages which gave much less to this one.
      I cant forgive jim sterling's 2 for example. that review, if you have played the game, feels insulting, as half of the shit it says is just plain false.He says shit like it only looking good on static images and not while being in movement. you have to see any video to know that statement is retarded...

    Yooka laylee is a good game, people hate it because it’s not banjo and kazoie (idk if I spelled that right) I think it’s just injustice, it’s supposed to be a successor, to maybe a better game, but yooka laylee is I great game still, and I like it, but something about capital B that is just “unsettling” to me, just his voice, witch is barely a complaint. Now that I think, this comment belongs in a review, but still, yooka laylee is an EPIC game, I would recommend it!

Although I think the game might have faired a lot better had they keep Jontron because the side that supported him was much higher than those against him and kicking him instantly soured a lot of people’s opinion of the game.

I hated walking through a door and having the camera facing you when you entered (so you can't see any potential cliffs or enemies that are right in front of you), multiple times I'd accidentally walk off a platform because the camera would swing around me at the wrong moment, and a couple of times the camera got stuck in a wall and I had to return to the hub world just to get unstuck.

    At the end he summed it up for me, Yooka-Laylee is the only kickstarter game i ever backed and it wasn't because it was Banjo-Kazooie successor in itself, it was because it was the revival of collectathon which i dearly missed and to be honest i was not disapointed i love this game even if i do feel a map would have somehow been helpful in some places since i have an awful sense of orientation.

    1:24 A game with a fairly innocent and genuine appeal stirring up way more controversy and hatred than is necessary for seemingly little reason beyond differing opinion alone? I can't think of any other game the internet's done that to.
    I mean, aside from Minecraft, Undertale, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Sonic, Smash Bros, Overwatch, League of Legends, and Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

      All well received with little controversy. What controversy that existed tended to come from fringe groups. You have people pretty evenly split on YL. You have those who liked the game, those who hated it, and those who hate the devs for removing Jon. Admittedly, I fall into the 3rd group since I feel it wasn't their place to get involved in an already hazy dispute that was already forgotten about by most people when they decided to pull him. That's not tos say they did anything illegal, in case anyone wants to comment about "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences".

    I really like your reviews, I find them very fair and I think your judgement is very good. Also, you're pretty funny.
