    Is $6 cheaper than $6?

    Judging by the RBA report on CPI, it's actually cheaper now than it was then.

  I'm in the credits for this game. Someone keeps deleting my imdb profile though :(

      Let me tell you, as someone also in the credits and therefore part of the industry, I have basically no rights over this!

      After this whole Yooka-Laylee debacle I turned down the titular role in Bayonetta 3 out of sheer principle. I wasn't officially offered it, but I had to take a stand.

        I had the titular line in star wars.

          @BeauKilla: "No you can't… that would end up in a Star Wars!"

        Can you share more about the debacle? Are you credited as part of the Kickstarter campaign? Did some voices? Which bit became a debacle?

        (Genuinely interested. Playtonic seem like good people.)

          @lordrupertliverpool: I'm making everything up. I'm a backer like everyone else in the credits. I was just having a jab at the people who think they're "part of the industry" tbh

            @Faro: Oh, lol! Thanks. I'm credited in one of the old FIFA games for doing some data editing and the absolute carry-on of some of the knobs I volunteered with us hilarious. Swan around like they're God's gift.

  Is this support 3 players?

  Is this in the same vein as It Takes Two? Would it be good for me and my partner?

    No. It's barely two player. Pretty much a single player game.

      Pozon on 31/05/2023 - 21:25

      Yeah, one player with a floating wand type situation.

  Both games have been given away before on Epic.
  Might want to check if you don't care about platform.

  This is sometimes known as shovelware

    Played the whole game through a while back. I’m pretty sure the snake in the game says something about shovelware 😂

    BTW, I loved the game - harder than I thought it would be. Definitely gave me Mario 64 vibes with DK humour (not surprising considering the pedigree)

    75% on metacritic and that's before patches that addressed its flaws. Not quite shovelware if you do your research.

  • 

    AustriaBargain on 31/05/2023 - 23:41

    Not really shovelware, they had good intentions, put a lot of time and money into it, and it was meant to feel like Banjo Kazooie did though it doesn't measure up, not to BK1 anyway. It's just not a good game. But it does at least feel like a N64 era game so they succeeded there at least. If you're a fan of Rare or just old 3D games then it's worth $6. The platformer, the Lair game, is meant to be good too, I've not played it yet though.
