Who else is hyped as fuck for this game? XD
Well, the rap isn't selling me on it. Doesn't hold a candle to the DK rap - relies far too much on repetition, and has to string out a rap of the same length for two characters instead of five.

Hope the game does well, but even as someone who grew up playing Banjo-Kazooie, I don't have a horse in this race.

Im looking forward to this. I was cautious at first, I dont pre order, but the more I see the more optimistic Im becoming.

It's just a really lame rendition of the DK 64 Rap with the guy voicing it sounding really bored and the music flat in comparison to the original. I wonder why they didn't go for a homage to the Banjo-Kazooie instrumental opening considering it's what Yooka-Layle is paying homage to.

I didn't like Banjo-Kazooie, so I'm not excited by this game. I hope it turns out to be good for people who want it, but for me I'm not bothered.

The only thing I dislike is the charcaters I am playing as, and i have no idea why?

I like playing with Mario, DK, Conker, Banjo, Crash, Spyro, heck even Gex and Sonic, but for some reason I just don't like Yooka Laylee?

This game looks terrible, like all Nintendo games.

Well duh, that's pretty much the entire point.
Yes but why though?
To stroke people's nostalgia b*ner in an attempt to get them to like Yooka-Laylee.

Keep in mind Jim Sterling has already promised he's going to gut this game. Apparently its terribly optimized, stutters, and its just plain shit.

Which version did he get? Cause the PS4 and XB1 versions were outsourced.

I'm not sure. He just mentioned in passing on his podcast, 'cause the embargo is still up, that anyone who pre-ordered it should seriously considered canceling.

Ugh. I'm considering. But I'd hate for this to fail and 3D platformers die.

Well here's the thing. If you trust Jim's opinion and have pre-ordered, then maybe you should cancel. If the game turns out well, you can just buy it after launch and still support it. But if its a turd sammich, then you lose nothing.

I kinda don't. I've only agreed with two reviews of his. I'll get it but not open it since my copy of Persona 5 arrives the same day. If it's something that can be patched out(like some framerate issues), I'll keep it. If it's another MN9 situation I'll return it.

True but even if Rare also made DK64 why would they do something that relates to a different game than what they're paying homage too? You know they could've doubled down on the nostalgia factor by doing something similar to BK's opening and then having the trouser snake jump in and do a rock solo for laughs.

Yeah seeing as it was uploaded on the 1st I think you're right. Though as a marketing tool it doesn't do a very good job at generating interest in the game. :/

As someone who loved the DK rap I am not wowed, but I do appreciate the effort.
