It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time.
SnS was never supposed to be anything big. Just a little extra for the fans. I think this reflects that.autobzooty said:So...am I the only one that's hugely disappointed with Rare's Stop'n'Swop effort? This was supposed to be the most epic link between sequels ever, and now, Tooie isn't even involved at all.
After 10 years of waiting, all I get isa cheap British flag to stick on my car and other useless junk?
I'm about to turn the game on and collect the rest of the Stop'n'Swop crates, but I'm doubting that it will get much better.

Cool. That sounds about right... I grabbed 1 from a level and I've got 5 crates left.Linkzg said:

Do we really know that Tooie won't be involved? Isn't it possible that there's more hidden goodies in the game that can be unlocked with Tooie?
Got this last week, but barely got around to playing last night. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUUUUUUUUCK. I can't believe this is $40 with a free Banjo XBLA code attached. Deal of 2008. Seriously, $40 and it looks and plays better than most $60 games. Wow, I sincerely hope this game sells at least 200k, rare deserves all the money they can get from this.

I agree. I started up the game and three hours late I am seriously blown away. Did not see this coming. It just screams AAA
I absolutely love the design of the worlds and building special vechicles to ace challenges is really fun. The controls work great (although the standard wheels are rather slippery)
Oh and.. best looking game this generation technically?
Rare still got it. No doubt after this and Pinata
This game is phenomenal. I mean really, wow. I haven't had this much pure fun or pure, unadulterated joy with a video game since last year's Super Mario Galaxy. This is definitely my GOTY. Being the most crazed Banjo fan I know, I was upset when the first details of N&B were unveiled. I wish I could use a time warp to go back and brutalize myself for ever doubting Rare. Rare, you are definitely right up there with VALVe and Nintendo as the top game developers. Like those two, you are a master of your craft. I salute you.

Really sadly it's been hyped up so much it really could never live up to the expectations. It was like the first time I played "Wood Zone" and "Hidden Palace" in Sonic 2's beta. Reading and theorizing about it was so much more exciting than playing it.
Besides, the flag rules.
Just *tried* to play the demo. As others have said the text is 3x smaller than it should be, and just as incredibly flys by faster than anyone could possibly read it.
Is it possible that Rare/MS's design and QA process are so broken they could overlook these huge, glaring, game-breaking issues? It's obvious the interface was designed by someone only considering the computer screen 2 feet in front of their face, and the text pacing by someone who already knew what the characters were saying and never bothered to try to read along... but even if they're that myopic/incompetent, where are the QA testers?
Ughhh

I'm really hoping Tooie is somehow involved in the Stop N' Swap. It makes sense... plus it would be awesome.

I'm constantly taken aback by how well designed everything in the world is. It's just outstanding.

They, like a lot of developers, forgot to consider SDTV users. A fix is coming though, which is more than you can say for a lot of games with this problem.stewacide said:Just *tried* to play the demo.

i can read it like 10 feet away from the tv and my tv isn't all that big.
anyway, the fix is on the way and the retail game already has the ability to slow down the text speed to a crawl.

I love this game so much.
Not the love that a man has for a woman, mind you, more like the love a man has for a good cigar, or a fine glass of whiskey.
Someone mentioned Mario Galaxy, and this game makes me feel the same fun and joy that Galaxy did.
Just pure awesome.
Even when I am not playing the game, I am constantly thinking about crazy vehicle designs to make.
This is so good, I barely touched Wrath of the Lich King yet

This is what I wanna hear.
I bought the game the day it came out (pity the XBLA Banjo cards aren't here yet) but between left 4 dead, Fallout 3 and others I haven't even played the game, only installed it on my HDD.
I love Rare's work and while I only fiddled briefly with the demo, I've held off sinking my teeth into it until I get through a few other titles.
I have a suspicion I will spent a lot of time making vehicles which I'm not sure on at this point.

So how do I check for the # of parts each vehicle has?
A couple of ways.Domino Theory said:
1) When in the vehicle editing thing, press X, and there will be a bunch of meters on the left. One of them is parts.
2) When looking through your blueprints, press... X? I think it's X, but it says on screen. Anyway, it'll show you a list of all the parts used to make up that vehicle.

It's taking an awful lot of willpower not to cheat and get as many crates from town as I can stuff in my exploiting ass.

In the stunt motorcycle level in Banjo land, why the hell isn't the last one completing? it tells me to stay in the air as long as I can, gives me no indicator, then I do several huge jumps over ledges and am in the air for a good while, yet it doesn't complete. Some of these levels make me question if Rare ever play tested them.

You know the cheese wedge it shows you at the start of the level in the cutscene? Jump off that using springs and make sure you land without crashing.Linkzg said:

I can't stop playing this game. I just can't. This game is so addictive, it's unbelievable, if someone would have told me I would spend most time with Banjo 3 while having all the other AAA games lying around here, I would have thought that person is crazy.

People are really incredible. I can barely make a regular vehicle. I usually don't go with looks, just pure specs.

This seriously the best deal this year. There is soooo much gameplay. I can play for hours and only get a few jiggies just because I love to explore Showdown Town and the environments, not to mention creating vehicles. There are a ton of challenges and other small things to do as well.
Love this game so much. I played it for so long today when I got home.

Of ones I've seen there is one behind the light house (stop n swop one), one on the roof of a building in next to mumbo motors, one in those ruins type area, one in the middle of the world 6 level hub, one next to the level 2 hub, and....I don't know, that might be it.
