Conker was technologiclly great but lacked substance and control refinement. Not to mention a game in limbo/development longer than PD. Scratch it off the list.
I won't. It was a great game that got unanimous praise until Rare and Nintendo seperated and Rare was retroactively crapped on. Before the revisionist history the only major Rare games that got crapped on were Donkey Kong 64 and Star Fox Adventures. And why do you care how long a game was in development? All that matters to me is how it turned out in the end.
And Conker didn't turn out that gray. Sure when it came out it was the bees knees but i was a child then playing a MATURE game about singing poo, giving bulls the runs, giants with surprisingly little boners, oh and a giant mechanical furnace with steel balls that made sparks when they clapped together. Once the toilet humour wore off i was able to see the game for the gameplay and not the shock humor; and it was a mediocore one (at best).
Ask most people what their favorite part of the game was and they'll recall a cut scene (matrix for me) and not a part of the actual gameplay. Conker was a game with an identity crisis in my opinion. It starts off as a platformer, then the second half of the game it becomes a 3rd-person shooter. Why? Who knows. The multiplayer war games were pretty fun, i'll give it that.
DK64 sucked in my opinion too, to be honest. I was super excited for it but then i had to collect SO MUCH CRAP, i don't even know how i finished that game (or why). Theres no denying it lacked the magic that made DKC 1 and 2 fun. (3 never clicked with me..)
Oh and those banjo games weren't for me either. Guess i thought Rare wasn't all that hot back in the N64 days either. Only games i liked were GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark. ha!
