It was such an amazing company that made so many good games for Nintendo consoles, then they were bought out by an evil corporation and all the good developers decided to leave rather than work for the enemy.

If they stayed with Nintendo we could have had more Donkey Kong Country and Banjo Kazooie games

Incorrect. I managed to get one more thrill in the form of Star Fox Adventures.

The Sea of Thieves hate threads all over Gamefaqs right now are more obnoxious than when No Man's Sky released. When games like this release and aren't up to par, it brings out the inner 10 year old in everyone.

It's Rare's newest game that released a few days ago, kind of an MMO about pirates that everyone is whining that it doesn't have enough content or anything. I thought this thread was a subtle stab at that game tbh.

Modern Rare is pretty pointless but I will say Sea of Thieves sounds like a lot of fun. If I still had Gold Live I'd probably get it, but I can't justify paying $60+ a year for a service I only use a few times a month.

I mean, we ended up getting more DKC games from Retro. And yeah I know DKCR wasn't that good but Tropical Freeze is on par with the original trilogy, and IMO surpasses it.'

Yeah Banjo Kazooie though, I'll never stop being sad over that. (Especially after the way Yooka Laylee turned out -_- )

We just gonna ignore Star Fox? And the fact that GBTG and Kameo were in development on GC first? Rare killed Rare. Stop spouting this "MS killed Rare" bs. MS probably saved Rare's asses.

To be fair, Rare didn't want Star Fox Adventures to be Star Fox Adventures. Nintendo forced that on them during the N64 days when it was just Dinosaur Planet.

Also FWIW I unironically loved Star Fox Adventures. I wish Rare(Playtonic?) could make either a sequel to it, or better yet just make a Zelda game.

I never played a Banjo game tbh. I own Rare Replay also, but I just got it for Viva Pinata and the Perfect Dark games.

Viva Pinata by the way.. one of the most brilliant games ever.

Just stop spouting a false misconception as if it's a fact. Rare has made bad games outside of their time working under MS.

But Star Fox Adventures and DK64 aren't bad games. SFA is a bad Star Fox game, but a great game overall, and DK64 hatred is a meme that started in like 2008. Everybody loved that game when it first released.

I don't care. A studio that makes a thousand bad games and also Banjo Kazooie/Banjo Tooie is a great studio.

You'll never find a company that hasn't made games you dislike. What matters is the ones you like.

After Microsoft bought them out, they no longer made Banjo games. Therefore they ruined them

Unless you wanna count that stupid racing thing I never tried because I wanted a fucking platformer why would they even do that

Yeah Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts was pretty shitty. It tried combining racing with adventure, but just didn't pull it off the way Diddy Kong Racing did. Probably because everytime you wanted to go somewhere new you had to stop what you were doing and rebuild your stupid car.

Most of the guys joined the time splitters team. Just play the first leve in time splitters two to see how much it borrows from goldeneye.

Youre right, it would have been better if the shell of Rare continued to crank out shitty banjo sequels
