not to keep belaboring the point, but how is this not annoying? Is there a reason this spray can crap is in the game?Quote:

Remember how cool it was in Donkey Kong Country Returns?
I only played the 3DS version because it sounded terrible. Which sucks because I hate the 3DS for the most part. You could ether have nice screen and 60 FPS or crap screen and half framerate and controls that weren't terrible (but since it's 30 FPS it doesn't control as well all other things equal)
This game looks like a great tech demo at the very least. If I had a PS4 I'd get it.
It was totally annoying and unnecessaryQuote:

Stencils come down, you put a donut in one hand, a gun in the other, and a shit eating grin on the guy. Turns out the guy is your brother. WAKA WAKA WAKA!
At no point did I or my son think "Hey, that was so much better than if it just happened in a cut scene."
It added nothing, and swapping your grip is gay. Did I mention that just shaking the controller wasn't enough? Had to have it vertically oriented as well, or it wouldn't register.
A 10 second cut scene turned into a minute long exercise of dumbness.
Still, once it was over, it's not like I saw an instance of having to do it again. But it's literally the first thing you do in the game. Not exactly a thing to get you psyched for what's coming.
I thought it was more interesting than doing it with Jet Set Radio controller motions anyway. As for how it fits into the game it's just optional exploration shit same as in GTA San Andreas.
As for why it's in the cut scene, it's obvious player training. Dunno why that's so confusing.
Never ended up playing through the second game for some reason, but I loved the first one. Still worth picking this one up? I imagine that any story I missed could be covered by a 2 minute YouTube video.
My kid beat it in less than a day. He liked the first two a lot, liked this one even more.
Considerably better. The powers and controls are much better, and the whole tone of the game is less dreary, and more "Woohoo, check out the cool shit I can do." Plus the setting is just awesome. I thought I would miss some of the exaggeratedly large set pieces from original, but the sense of vertigo when scaling the space needle trumps any of that.Quote:
