[@ivoryvt]

I just noticed LoG's face is Pong. [' |.'] Also, LoG was proven to be totally wrong. Super Mario Odyssey proved that the masses of today love a good collectathon. I guess a certain Italian gentleman really returned the favor this time. If LoG returns in the next Banjo-Kazooie game (if there ever is one), I want him to admit he was wrong.

[@innertails9584]

Your right I think your right and Kirby star allies is good and I hope we get threeie

[@blootube97]

If Banjo-Threeie does come out and not continue after Nuts and Bolts, then that means LoG was SO defeated by his business views, he literally de-canonized himself and his timeline which in turn, not only says he is admitting he was VERY wrong but also that he was useless as a whole to the universe

This was actually the first Banjo Kazooie game I've ever played, I didn't play the other two until I finished this. While it's by far the worst of the three, I still have a soft spot for Nuts and Bolts. Building cars is fun, the graphics still hold up pretty well, the music is great, collecting car parts in Showdown town is a lot of fun, and about half of the missions are reasonably fun (unfortunately the other half are pretty tedious, but most are optional so it's not the end of the world.)

[@alphablue2395]

Same here, I used to play this sometimes when I went to my uncle's house because his son (who's now joining the Canadian police force, good for him) had an Xbox 360 with the game. I mainly messed around in the first act of Nutty Acres. Then I got Xbox Game Pass years later and actually played through the game via Rare Replay (which is included with Game Pass)... and yeah the game is actually kinda good in my opinion. I'm a bit biased because I really love sandbox games (with Disney Infinity 3.0 (specifically the gold edition on Steam since that version uses menus to select characters, Power Discs, and Play Sets/Toy Box Games instead of using a base and plastic with NFC tags embedded in them) actually being one of my top 3 favorite games), games with lots of vehicle-based missions (like The Simpsons: Hit & Run), and racing games in general, but still.

[@foursidekm]

I don't even know if it's the worst out of the three. It's too different. I think it's like comparing apples to oranges

[@brianvaira486]

@@foursidekm For me, Banjo is very much about exploring, and Nuts and Bolts doesn't really encouraging exploring outside of the hub world. While I do like the game, I think the fact that most of the worlds are so empty is a pretty big problem. There's pretty much nothing to do in the worlds when you aren't doing missions. I think they should have hidden car parts through the open worlds to give more incentive to explore them.

Nuts and Bolts is an extremely underrated game in my opinion. It's a great collect-a-thon and a Banjo game through and through, just with cars as the main new gimmick. I really feel like Microsoft should remaster Banjo 1, 2 and nuts and bolts for Xbox Series X, the same way spyro and crash got their trilogy remasters, and then make a brand new Banjo Threeie that's a proper return to the platforming roots of the series. Seriously Microsoft doesn't realise the insane potential of this franchise. Banjo could be their Mario or Ratchet and Clank.

[@zachgamemaster3329]

@poudink5791 That was my point. It is a Banjo-Kazooie game in everything but name and characters, but the soul isn't there. I go to the ice world, hear the music, and think, "This is nice. I kinda like it, but I want to play Freezeezy Peak." I go to the swamp level and think, "This is great, but I want Bubble Gloop Swamp."

[@jaredarmstrong7403]

@@poudink5791No, the main problem with Yooka Laylee was that the levels were way too big and disjointed. What should have happened was that every expansion made a completely new area instead of expanding the existing world. It could have worked if the levels were much smaller, but have multiple areas to them, with maybe one or two big levels. It would have been good if they had a collectible tracker for the competition that you could get as a tonic. There was a lot of empty exploration without much payoff to it.

@@sirGuy1995 It is. It got WAY more hatred and vitriol than it deserved, It's a genuinely great game in my opinion. I think it did a great job living up to the legacy of Banjo while having enough unique elements to make it stand out on its own. I'm not trying to pretend it's perfect, but I'm still convinced most of the hatred came from Jontron fanboys. Definitely give it a try.

[@stanstanstan2597]

huntercrunch eh, the public opinion seems to be that the game itself is fine. It’s a good enough game by itself. BUT! They NEVER should have put the Banjo Kazooie IP on it. Why?! Why would they take a platformer IP, which had experienced an eight year drought, which TONS OF PEOPLE LOVED, and just... destroy its reputation? What made them think it was a good idea to make this game about Banjo? It was not, by any means, bad as a game. Can’t stress it enough. But it was not a Banjo Game. It was an entirely different game with a Banjo skin just slapped on there. Sure, it talked about the originals some. It made references. But it also made fun of everything about them, and said “oH nOboDy liKeD thOse riGhT iMmA mAkE a sHoOtY caR gAmE fOr rEAl gAmerS”. Like, come on guys. What did Banjo do to deserve this?

[@slashingkatie7872]

My thoughts are the same as many. This could’ve been great if it had been a new IP instead of copy/pasting Banjo on it. See also Starfox Adventures.

[@Axquirix]

Personally I think the core premise of Starfox Adventures as a third-person platformer/beat-em-up is okay, it just controls like ass and has a very unattractive art style. Fox himself looks okay, sleeveless jacket notwithstanding, but like everyone else looks weird when stood next to anyone else. The main enemy mooks especially are way too cartoony-proportioned next to everything else. Like the inverse of what AnimeFanatic says below: it'd be a good Starfox game if it was a good game in it's own right.

[@theamazingmaymay123]

I honestly believe Starfox Adventures would have been fun with better controls and better and maybe smaller worlds.

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

It is very confusing. How does it get to that point? They have a 3D platformer that sold extremely well and people have been wanting a sequel for many years. So they decide to finally make a sequel and get everyone excited only to release a game that has nothing to do with the original. The game would have probably did alright if it was "Blinx the Cat Nuts & Bolts" It would be like if Nintendo announced they were making a new F-Zero game and then it ended up being a puzzle game.

[@mikeluna2026]

@@HerecomestheCalavera Whoever was in charge probably thought the original concept was too retro or too niche at the time (or disliked/hated the originals)... I'm an indie dev, and I know people who don't see Tetris as a game because it's too simple (which really astounded me)... They only have eyes for AAA or trendy stuff... So yeah, people like that.... And in my opinion, there isn't a bigger death sentence for a franchise than putting in charge a producer/director who actually dislikes the franchise. That or having a publisher that orders the devs to make a game that focuses on attracting fans of other franchises or genres (like EA or Activison sometimes do), neglecting the core audience, which may have happened in this case too I guess...

[@CABEZILLA]

@@mikeluna2026 I recomend wath the video of "Wha happun" about Nuts n Bolts, nobody hated B-K, they wanted to push innovation at the expense of lossing the originals charm and mechanics,I would say that they did it but the cost was too big for the fanbase to accept it...

A racist opinion, but an opinion. The point is that any job you get hired at, literally one of the first things they tell you is that while hired, you represent the company you're working for. That being said, if yoj act out and people know where you work, that looks bad on the company for hiring you in the first place. They can fire you on the spot. Same principal applies to Playtonic and JonTron. They didnt want to be associated with him and his antics, so they replaced him.
