How many people here loved Conker?

[Yumi_and_Erea]

More specifically, Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64 or the remake, Conker: Live And Reloaded on the Xbox.
Personally, I think Conker was one of the best games of all time, with a like-unto-God script, amazing graphics, quite literally the best jokes I've ever heard in a game, and truly amazing and imaginative level-design. But above all else, I loved the ending.
As anyone who's played it will know, Conker's one of the most light-hearted games of all time. So when, after having the most enjoyable and hilarious gaming-experience of my life, I arrived at a surprisingly dark and depressed ending, something happened: I was actually sad.
No other game had ever actually saddened me before, even tragic death-scenes and the like had never done that.
There was just something in that last sentence Conker said before the credits came on that got to me.
I don't know about you guys, but there was love in that game. Love of Rare, for their fans and for games as an art-form.

Does anybody else feel the same way, or am I just being a great, big mushy poof?

On of my favorite games of all time. Also had my favorite boss, the singing poo. Look it up on youtube if you don't already know what I am talking about.

The opera singing poo might be the best charter ever. But yeah it seems they put a lot of thought into that game.

I fell in love with that cuddly little alcoholic after playing Bad Fur Day as a child on my N64.

 

[wooty]

I loved conker, trying to give the cow the shits and the saving private ryan piss take were among the best gaming moments for me

 

[AngelSword]

Eh, I liked Conker, but I felt he wasn't emotionally there for me.

 

[KnowYourOnion]

One of the best games ever made in every aspect
the great mighty poo was inspired, as were the Nazi teddy bears

 

[Mortons4ck]

"Teddyz?! I hate those guys."

I only played Conker Live and Reloaded, it was hysterically funny. I was also glad that they had put in a multiplayer mode with bots, cause at the time i didn't have XBL.

Ironic that at the beginning it said for "mature" audiences only, when jokes involved poo >.>

 

[Squilookle]

what do you mean 'loved'?! you say it like he's gone for good! I cling to the forlorn hope that one day we'll get a true sequel to pretty much the best platforming 3rd person shooter hybrid there ever was.

But yeah- I know exactly what you mean about the ending. Left me speechless. It was a very powerful way to bring Rare's golden age to a close... even if we didn't know it at the time

I can't believe that poor conker has been left behind in the sea of turgid ratchet and clank games. How those got popular I'll never understand.

By the way, did you ever see... what was it called... super console wars? re-enacted star wars with gaming characters. Naturally Conker got to be Han Solo...

I loved the game as a kid, although I never beat it because I got stuck in the damn nightclub.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

Great script. Truly hilarious.

The gameplay was frustrating to no end though.

Still absolutely worth a play through, and while not as good as the Donkey Kong Country games or Banjo-Kazooie, it still shows just how awesome Rare truly was.
