I'm sorry, but Donkey Kong Country Returns is a masterpiece, hands down the best Donkey Kong game since DKC2 in '95. You must have played it wrong.

Welcome! And just to be clear, you're waiting for something that most likely does not exist anymore. I suggest you give up any hope of hearing any news from Rare that is not Kinect sports-related.

I disagree. I think that, out of all the four DKC games, this one is the weakest. Which is not to say that it is a bad game, it's just not as superb and mindblowing as the previous installments. I felt like the game relied to much on artificial difficulty in that it's basically impossible to clear a lot of the levels unless you know the layout. This with i.e. big spiky deathtraps falling from above without warning that you would only know of if you had been killed by that thing before.

This may be partially nostalgia speaking though. I just didn't enjoy it as much as the other installments. Again, that's not to say that I didn't enjoy it at all.

I'm sorry, but Majora's Mask is a masterpiece, hands down the best Zelda game since ALttP. You must have played it wrong.

And I don't think Rare's happy about it either, why else would Rare's company page on their site say specificly that they made DKC and the original 007.

PS: I always put "returns" in quotes 'cus it can't really return to Nintendo considering they never made the originals

PSS: @Mandolin, I've never played it and never will...

@The Banjonator, someones a little negative wheres your spirit and hope?
Time to dissect quotes!

Minecraft is in the games list because we have a Minecraft server. Portal 2 is/was in the games list because it is relevant and many forumers play it. This forum is much less about Rare than you think it is now.

Nintendo didn't "legally steal" anything. That's the dumbest thing I think I've ever heard. Donkey Kong was always Nintendo's property. Remember the first Mario game ever? Remember who made it? Yeah, Nintendo did. When Rare was under Nintendo, they said "We give you the rights to DK for this game: make a game with him in it. We retain rights to him after your game is done." And that's what happened.

Nintendo owns DK, so it's still their game. Just because Rare didn't make it, doesn't mean that it isn't an "actual DK game" or something. Putting "returns" in quotes just makes it seem like you're denying the truth.

If you spent any time on the Rare scribes or read the gigantic "Oh My God (Scribes)" thread, you'd see why BK3 will never be put into production and why it isn't in production right this moment. There's no big secret anymore - it's simply not being made.

I never saw any fake difficulty. If you're talking about Boulder Roller, if you stand off to the side for a second or two, you can memorize the spiky death trap pattern stat. Your objective is always perfectly clear; it's just that actually completing it is hard, and that's as a video game should be.

Really, play through it again. Stormy Shore, Tidal Terror, Mast Blast, Teeterin' Totems, Muncher Marathon, Mole Patrol, Tippy Shippy, Slammin' Steel... there are (probably literally) dozens of memorable moments and each stage has its own distinct personality. Yeah, I get it, there's a new bad guy and K. Rool is MIA, but there's nothing wrong with creating new characters and changing the nature of the threat Donkey Kong has to defuse. Besides, we had Cranky, Rambi, and Sqawks, and other characters (including Funky Kong and K. Rool) were alluded to. I see no cause for complaint.

Sounds like you should be talking about this, then.

I gotta tell you, GoldenJiggies, we're a bunch of pretty jaded bastards here, and so far you haven't done a very good job endearing yourself to us / fitting into the community.

It's not so bad. If I can make a comeback, anyone can. Here's a tip: try saying things that are less patently wrong.

And this kid, GoldenJiggies, told me he knows how to program games earlier. xp

Somehow I doubt it.

We already stated this: Rare is NOT making BK3.
