Those innovating game play mechanics have been around since Lego racers on the 64.Arnoxthe1 said:I.Muir said:
I do understand, however, that it's not really a true Banjo-Kazooie game at all. The levels are bland, the characters are boring, the platforming (what little of it there was) was meh, etc.
HOWEVER, having said that, the vehicle building itself, the core of the game, is awesome and worthy of praise JUST by itself. It was an innovative gameplay mechanic that was really neat and flexible and it also provided some great but short-lived online fun and shenanigans. It was also cool to make and trade blueprints. It got to where the best ones were hoarded like holofoil, 1st edition Charizard cards on a school playground. Just that alone was worth the price of admission. I only wish one didn't have to slog through the boring single-player to get all the parts.
Anyway, in summary, was the single-player bad? Yeah but not unbearably so. Was the core of the gameplay good? You bet your ASS. To this day, I still build stuff.
BTW, if any Nuts and Bolts builders see this post, PM me for my gamertag if you want to swap blueprints. I got some pretty freaking sweet ones over the years...
ya I said it. IT was a game marketed with notable characters that filled a niche audience, vehicle building games. As far as those types of games were the mechanics were pretty damn deep and you had a ton of freedom to make what ever you wanted to do what ever you wanted to do. The multi player with people that knew how to build was amazing. like soccer, who says don't put guns on your vehicle, or a cage to trap the ball, or jets to lift it the bit you were allowed to, or vacuums to push or pull the ball out or in, or more guns.
Can Lego Racer let you build a Mad Cat? How about a full VTOL? Ballistic Missile? Spring chair? Drill Machine? How about stuff that aren't even vehicles? I made a sweet chess board once just out of vehicle parts. Also, not that it was the games fault, but Lego Racers doesn't have any online capability.I.Muir said:
You still play? Do you have any good blueprints?Eve Charm said:Eh I really hate how much nuts and bolts gets kicked around. God damn it I loved that game
and for everyone that brings up banjo what about kameo damn it ;p as someone once said they wanted kameo 2, do people even know what it is? nope it was DOA. It was a launch title of about 10 games on the 360. Rare platformer that was retty good and no one talks about or remembers that ;p Thats why we don't have banjo 3, because a new If platformer that came out from like the king of 3d platformers sold like crap, and retro games and characters weren't cool back then and even cool when nuts and bolts came out ;p. It's like people just stumbled on it years later and says this isn't banjo and done.
I think simply "Flight sims" works on it's own as an untapped market, and what happened when someone decided to tap that market?ACE1918 said:
