Rare Replay |OT| Jetpacks and Googly Eyes, Here We Come

I conkered Atic Atac, with all milestones save for "Inventory Management". It actually was somewhat enjoyable after I found the guide. It had a really neat atmosphere for a 1983 game.
But then I ran into my first two duds - two games I genuinely dislike. Sabre Wulf and Snake Rattle n Roll. SW has the most ludicrous enemy spawns, cocaine-addled character movement, and abysmal sword hit detection. And SRnR controls worse than Conker. I'm glad I got that glitched "complete every level" achievement, as I'm assuming that will be fixed via patch at some point. All SW snapshots are done with, at least, but snapshots 4 and 5 on SRnR are giving me fits.
On the bright side one of my little sisters played Trouble in Paradise today and really liked it - always fun to share great games with family.

If you want a real achievement, try to get all the platinums on Blast Corps. Then I'll be impressed. The milestones and snapshots are baby stuff compared to that.

I just finished Grabbed by the Ghoulies. First time playing it and its an instant classic for me. Such a charming game. A bit repetitive but yet, I couldn't stop playing it.
My favorite enemies are the Zombies, especially when they fart, and the Pirates. I love it when I knock out the pirates and they scream aaarrgghh! lol.

I am very surprised with how many people like GbtG after playing it for the first time in Rare Replay.

I never though once about playing the original back then. Now I wishI had an original copy lol.
Is it better or worse than Sabre Wulf? I'm already dreading it.
Though I do love that Sabre Wulf ends with you entering the Underwurlde - but I couldn't tell you exactly why I find the idea of "hey cool, video games had the concept of narrative sequels in the early '80s!" so adorably quaint.
Cheated the hell out of KI Gold. The only fighting game I have any skill at is Smash.
Almost done with Blast Corps. I've gotten so mad at that damn red truck, especially when Backlash is involved, or the final part of Oyster Harbor. I still have a few levels to unlock before I can try for a platinum.
Conker or Ghoulies, which should I do next?

Worse I'll say.=p

I think it's better, honestly. It's a much better game to understand especially with a guide or something of reference but with Sabrewulf, not even a guide or anything else could save you from how lost you could get within the big ass maze. Plus it has a hilarious animation when you get hit or jump on a wall that is also quite surprising in that it is a mechanic that could help you get to places easier.
EDIT: I played all three and on my way to finish Knight Lore. I think Underworld is the best of the three with Knight Lore coming in a second. It's pretty amazing though how much different these games are compared to each other in terms of mechanics, gameplay and practically everything else except for the graphics and the main character.
Launch him in the air with a combo.

Maybe this is a general X1 question, but all these games are just sitting in my Games and Apps queued up... how can I make them all install?
It depends what you are in the mood for
. Do you want a mature game that has some dark humor, more of a platformer and feels unique from Rare's other line up of games? Then pick Conker
.Do you want a more Banjo-like game presentation/humor/ect wise that has a interesting combat system and is the 'black sheep' of Rare's entire catalog? Then Ghoulies is a good pick
.One of them should be downloading, you can only download one at a time.
If none of them are then do a hard reset - hold the power button on console for 10 seconds until the console turns off.
You just have to go back to the level from Grunty's Lair. You don't actually lose any progress.
Alright thanks.

I'm pretty sure Bottles tells you to do it in the beginning of the game, does he not?

Collection would've been perfect with Goldeneye and all the Donkey Kong games, but I can't ask for the impossible. I'm still very happy re-playing most of these games. Very nostalgic as well.
Does he? I skipped his tutorial in the beginning this playthrough so I wouldn't know for sure. Maybe he did... hmm
Either way that's info that should be spread around more often, I've seen that complaint about swimming a few times.
If you refuse to listen to Bottles at the beginning, HE will refuse to clarify things if you ask, arguing that you said you had this on your own, so tough nuts.
I love that. Such a Rare touch.

sitting here on turbo tunnel with the game paused right before the pillar hell right at the end. I have never done this successfully, im scared to continue lol
anyone have any tips at all for this part? All I have seen is that it comes down to rhythm

This video suggests to time your pressing of the D-pad with the sound of the walls as they pass and imagine that you're playing the bongos.

Hey guys , when I start Viva Pinata: TIP I get this message:
"You do not have an active gamer profile. To create or load a profile, please press the Xbox Guide Button
If you continue without a profile, your game will not be saved! Please press a to continue."
I'm really not understanding what's going on here, when I hit the Xbox button it just takes me back to the home screen. Has anyone encountered this?

If it's the same issue I had, hit both the select and start button (or whatever they are) and see if that brings up the right option.

It worked! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. This problem was driving me crazy!
Played some Grabbed by the Ghoulies, got up to scene 9. Fun game! Pretty simple but it's a good time so far. Love all the enemies and especially the environments (lots of cool little references in the game room!)
Gonna alternate between it and Banjo Tooie for now, with some snapshots on the side.

Is there any difference in buying a disc versus digitally? I know you can launch the Xbox 360 games separately from the collection, can you also delete them separately? Do they appear as different games in your download queue if you buy it from XBL?
Yeah you can install/delete whatever 360 games you want

But I mean like, if I were to buy Rare Replay on XBL, it's not actually giving me the Xbox 360 copies of those games, right? Like I can't go sign into an Xbox 360 and download Banjo?

Yeah. Rare just loves being dickish in their games lol
Yeah nope, you cannot do that, even with the digital version.
Just played Banjo Kazooie for the first time since 99 and it felt so great. Got one hundred percent on the first three worlds and decided to take a break. Got a little frustrated with the swimming controls but I quickly learned how to deal with it and had no problems after that. I love this collection.

Ok, so then if I buy it on XBL, how many different separate games get added to my "Ready to Download" list?

Perfect, thank you very much!
Thank you soooo much for this KI trick haha. Now I can set it aside.

I'm surprised Wizards & Warriors didn't make the cut.
If this is true, I can't imagine it would have been too hard for them to buy the Wizards & Warriors IP. Acclaim IPs were largely bought up by tiny little companies and well-off individuals when Acclaim shut down. Whoever picked up the license would probably be happy for the money they'd get from selling it, especially since they're not doing anything with it.

It's down and B for the secret stage.
Also, all milestones except beating arcade mode on easy or harder can be done with two players.
