Burgle My Bananas: Episode 02

Yeahhh the rules really need to be adjusted for this game, especially since this is a BIG ASS collectathon with very little dying. Maybe 3 coins = 1 spin and a person has to pass the controller if they reach a certain number of spins? Boss keys and blueprints should be worth more as well. Items should probably be priced higher.

Still loving this feature btw, I just think you guys need to tweak a couple things in order to make it flow better.

The gameshow is goofy and fun but good lord is DK64 brutally dull to watch. Less than two episodes in and I have to tap out of the series and just wait for highlights in a Best of GB video.

Oh my lord, that Candy Kong laugh is just as annoying as I remember it being.

You probably won't see this, but thought I'll mention that with the blueprints, the thug guys carry them and have different coloured hair and pound ring colour depending what kong blueprint they are holding (Example if they have yellow hair and yellow pound circle, it's Donkey Kongs, if Red, Diddy etc)

@y2ken: @totalhenshin:FWIW: When I went to high school here in Australia I only ever knew BIMDAS, and we generally called everything round, square or curly brackets, but we still pretty much exclusively used parenthesis for order of operations.

I didn't do a dedicated maths degree, but I did quite a few maths units from a few different perspectives; physics, engineering and computer science, and we continued to use just parenthesis for order of operations. Square brackets were generally reserved for matrices, but also arrays in computer science. Curly braces in my experience were exclusively used to define sets, and it drives me kind of crazy that someone would think to use them for order of operations.

For whatever reason in my physics study we would *very* occasionally use large square brackets for order of operations when working with large equations, but the non-relativistic Schrodinger equation is the only one that comes to mind.

Too much chaos occuring.... cannot compute.

The game really blows

But such a fun theme around it

Watching them play the game is the worst part of this show.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I think this has the potential to be the closest thing GB West has ever had to a Kingdom Heartache fizzle. To their credit, they're very amped up about all the goofy horribly unbalanced game show mechanics Dan came up with, but I think they're already finding the game itself pretty tedious. Time will tell!

Also, yes, I remember some levels being markedly worse than others. I don't remember Gloomy Galleon being a huge offender, but I remember truly despising Frantic Factory and Crystal Caverns. I remember some of the levels just being terribly laid out and it was frustrating to remember how you were supposed to get over to a certain area. And watching this game as an adult, it does become really apparent that there often aren't interesting puzzles or challenges to a lot of golden bananas. You merely have to walk by an area, see that you are the wrong Kong to activate a switch or some shit, change Kong, come back and activate the thing, and then get your banana. SOME have well done unique stuff to them, but each world really did not need 25 golden bananas.

@totalhenshin: So, I learned it as PEDMAS but not because of some parenthesis v bracket difference, we always used () before [ ] but that's not important. The thing is, my math class was in french, which translates "bracket" as "parenthèse" meaning that regardless of what symbol you refer to, we always used the same word.

I would like to see a wheel spin each time they come upon a group of coins rather than once per coin in the group.

I feel like dan is making up the rules as we go.

my god this show is soo good but this game is sooo awful

I don't know what's worse, that they gave Candy Kong all that innuendo in a Nintendo game for children, or how completely inept all that innuendo is.

My feedback on this feature is that this game is bad and all the game show stuff is Too Much. If people enjoy it good on 'em but this is background noise while I work at best, while I skip all the parts where Dan yells non-stop about game show nonsense

Too much spinning! My brain!

You want to know how bad this game is? It's basically the Star Fox Adventures of Donkey Kong. That's why they suddenly have weapons and tools, and Cranky's a scientist, Funky's a military vet, and Candy's a... musician? It's why this game has all these weird, overly ambitious design choices and pee-in-my-mouth hippos. The original DK64 was going to be a 2D side-scroller, but they scrapped it late in development because someone thought a 3D collect-a-thon would sell better. It's the game that bankrupted Rare and made all of the staff resign from the company in disgrace.

There. Now you don't have to play it anymore.

I can't believe I loved this game at one point. The game's performance enough is mind blowing even by the standards of the N64 and the fantastic expansion pack.

This series has been a lot more fun to watch than Sunshine. Sunshine was just rough because it was a terrible game. But this game isn't that bad it just gets infuriating later. The more they play the more they will die because of the stupid bonus mini games that make up 50% of the golden bananas that they haven't gotten to yet.

This is one of my favorite games of all time. It breaks my heart that it seems like they're hating it and just playing it like it's a drinking game kinda feel. I love the show though. Having to change kongs and think about what you're doing is one of my favorite parts of the game. Oh well. Great content guys.

Also, you need Lanky to get up those hills.

If you guys read this, it'll be a lot faster for you if you'll go unlock all the kongs then worry about coming back to the first two worlds.

I kind of feel like this game is too awful to support this feature long term...

Was that Stomrzy??? XD

I don't know why but Abby going "God, this game just sucks" under her breath just killed me. Also those banana runts are going to be so damn nasty by the fifth episode that I feel like a majority of the episode saying "Wow, these smell terrible."

Also I have no idea how childhood me would have made it through ANY of this game, but my buddy had the guide for it so we just used that.

I can't wait til they get to Gloomy Galleon, that's gonna be a real trip, especially with how much they actively hate and struggle with the swim controls.

Aw man, Vinny got screwed

I blame you guys for making me realize i like watching people suffer.

Let me tell you about a Youtube series called "Best of the Worst"...
