I don't know......

Early in the game when you just happen to run across a Lynel and they just stand there and stare at you......yikes.

Especially at night. lmao

Then they take out the bow and start shooting like madmen.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

What a plesent conversation these two had

Especially at night. lmao

Then they take out the bow and start shooting like madmen.

A lynel near a memory did that to me. He saw me and stared staring at me and I was like" ok... not attacking?"

Apparently, my taking out the camera was decleration of war because he ran at me and one shot me with his sword as soon as I did it

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Alright, finally decided to do a review of Yooka-Laylee.

The Good: It's a 3D collectathon following the same formula of the original Banjo-Kazooie, while it takes some cues from Tooie, the game very strongly sticks to the styles and mechanics of the first game, while still managing to be original. The worlds, while bigger than those in Tooie, stay entirely manageable and self sustaining as opposed to being interconnected, and prove to be great fun to traverse with a great variety of challenges to complete for pagies. The worlds are all well designed and the music is masterfully composed, so it's even fun to just wander around them. Dialogue is just as charming and witty as in the games that inspired this one, filled to the brim with that classic British humour. While this game doesn't come close to being as good as Banjo-Tooie, it definitely holds its own against Banjo-Kazooie, and even comes out on top in some regards.

The Bad: In certain areas, the camera will suddenly switch to a different perspective and remain locked there, unable to be moved. The transition is instant and will throw you off slightly, but these places aren't very frequent and the only major camera issue I had was with the first boss. Rextro's arcade games range from a really bad one, to an almost passable one, with a lot of meh in between. He only has five games, but they each have to be completed twice for a total of ten pagies, the second of which from each one you're required to beat his high score to obtain, which is only really annoying with the first game.

The Ugly: Playtonic seems to have forgotten how to make fun quiz shows. There are three segmented at certain parts of the game, all play out exactly the same, and not in good ways. For some reason, the text in these sections come to a crawl, with no ability to speed it up, this is compounded by the fact that dialogue is repeated. For every, single, question. The placement of the quizzes is also problematic, as instead of being one quiz at the end of the game which you would be well prepared for, you can stumble upon a quiz before you even enter the worlds it starts asking questions about. Once you enter a quiz room, there's no backing out unless you lose, so I recommend just looking the answers up (which the game even jokingly mentions).

Spoiler: World Reviews

Ordered from my personal favorite, to least favorite.
*Note, other than the first world, I expanded all of the other worlds before entering them.

Galleon Galaxy
This world is... out of this world. Absolutely my favorite of the bunch by a long shot, better than even my favorites from Banjo-Kazooie. Breathtaking on a visual level, amazing thematically, and just plain fun. It contains the most indoor segments of any of the worlds, feeling a bit more like a Tooie world than a Kazooie world. It's also home to this masterpiece by David Wise:

Sorry Grant.

Moodymaze Marsh
Like the lovechild of Bubblegloop Swamp and Mad Monster Mansion, I might be a bit biased because of my location and general love of all things spooky. It does retread a bit of Banjo ground, as there was a haunted swamp world in the oft forgotten Grunty's Revenge, but it manages to stay original despite that. As the title would suggest, the level is definitely easy to get lost in, but never frustratingly so, different areas of the level almost feel self contained, like they're worlds of their own.

Capital Cashino
Somehow, despite the fact that I hate being in casinos in real life, casino levels in games are always a lot of fun, probably because you can't smell the booze and smoke. Capital Cashino is no exception, it's full of all sorts of fun objectives and style. On the negative side, it's home to the absolute worst Kartos challenge. Leave the mine carts to Donkey Kong.

Tribalstack Tropics
The only thing holding this level back is it's theme, it's well designed and a great first level, but grassy starting areas are so overdone in games. It's pretty much Mumbo's Mountain/Mayahem Temple x2, but still a lot of fun in its own right.

Glitterglaze Glacier
The weakest stage, imagine the ice side of Hailfire Peaks, but as the entire level. It's one saving grace is the Icymetric Palace, if only for it's unique perspective. The world isn't bad by any means, but it's rather barren and bland. There's also a single pagie with a puzzle that was not well designed, and is pretty much impossible to get without a guide or by accident.

Bonus HUB review
Hivory Towers is a serviceable hub world clearly modeled after Grunty's Lair, but thematically similar to Grunty Industries. It's nowhere near as memorable as the OG lair, but it does have more charm than the Isle o' Hags in Tooie.

My overall score is 8.5/10, nearly a full 10 on the personal enjoyment scale. Currently my GOTY.

Nice art of Yooka and Laylee.

Considering your a big Banjo fan, I'm glad to hear you liked it.

I'm planning on getting the game myself when it comes to the Switch.

 

[JamesDNaux]

Just prefer BK
i gladly 100%'d BK but couldnt finish tooie for some reason even though i enjoyed it.


Kazooie just felt so neat and tidy and compact, and tooie felt almost overwhelming to me sometimes.

Yooka-Laylee is for you then. It's like a neat little package of collectathon action, only took me a little over a day to 100%.

Nice art of Yooka and Laylee.

Considering your a big Banjo fan, I'm glad to hear you liked it.

Thanks, and thanks.

This game is exactly what I've needed for the past decade and now I'm even more pumped for Mario Odyssey.

I'm actually considering buying Yooka-Laylee again for Switch, it's that good.

I don't know......

Early in the game when you just happen to run across a Lynel and they just stand there and stare at you......yikes.

Yeah but I have a max stamina ring and 18 hearts. I can crush Silver Lynels. I've never seen a Molduga until today.

 

[Aetheri]

Molduga are terrifying. Way moreso than Lynels.

At first yes....

*MOLDUGA* appears on screen, admittedly awesome music starts playing and a mound of sand is making it's way straight towards you at a very fast pace, then you get sent flying after a giant sand crocodile lunges itself out of the sands....no doubt the first time this happened I almost needed a new pair of pants...

But now Molduga are just another enemy that gives me good ****...

Lynels can still **** me up from time to time, especially those that are carrying the bashers since they can almost one shot you at nearly full health...and if you try to run from them, they'll snipe you with their special arrows for a good distance...

 

[praline]

Spoiler

Exerpts from the Hyrule Historia
"Ganondorf and his malice, sent to the Twilight Realm, plunged the shadowy domain into madness."

"*Ganondorf's Malice* Ganondorf is full of wickedness and hatred."-p113

Coupled with the similarities both Calamity Ganon and Dark Beast Ganon share with Ganondorf/DB Ganon in TP as well as a very heavy emphasis on this energy known as 'malice' that we see in BotW...

Calamity Ganon/DB Ganon in BotW is the resurrected form of Ganondorf from TP rather than that of Ganon from FSA...Which explains the lack of an explanation of how he escaped from the Four Sword, he didn't...

As for the whole 'no two Ganons at the same time' it's simple...Ganon in FSA is sealed away, Ganondorf was killed but his hatred was reborn through his malice thanks to demise's curse, Ganon in FSA is not an active incarnation of hatred due to being trapped within the Four Sword allowing Ganondorf's Malice to manifest itself into Calamity Ganon...also it is possible that we have multiple Zelda's existing at once as seen in the Downfall Timeline with Zelda I and II, and since Ganon/dorf can be reincarnated like Link and Zelda this can't be too much of a stretch...and being in the child Timeline this is the one time he did get reincarnated....

If that's not the case, then it seems strange that the book would have such an emphasis on 'Ganondorf's Malice' and then fast forward to today we now have conveniently Ganon's Malice being a very prominent plot point in BotW...

-Zelda's mention of the Twilight in her speech
-Zoras, Gorons, Gerudo having a stronger presence in BotW as they do in the Child Timeline (mostly since Gerudo were still absent in TP they were in FSA), and the Zoras best resemble the Zora from TP
-Arbiter's Grounds, Bridge of Hylia only other appearance being in TP
-Hyrule Castle/Castle Town's resemblance to TP
-Rito carvings in TPHD giving the Rito precedence in the Child Timeline
-and now Ganodorf's Malice possibly being the manifestation of Calamity Ganon

Child Timeline points are accumulating...

Wasn't Malice initially brought up as a concept in the manual for a Downfall timeline game?

Again, the speech also mentions Wind Waker and a Downfall game, she's just being talked over by the Champions at that point. It's not really evidence unless it's in support of the timelines melting back together at some point in the past.

There's nothing really binding Malice to any one timeline, and even it being mentioned isn't bound to just one as it is.

The problem I have with the mentions of Wind Waker and ALttP in Zelda's speech is that, 'that part' of her speech was background dialogue...she literally could've said anything at this point and mostly anyone playing the game wouldn't even notice the difference; with Daruk, Revali and Urbosa's dialogue being the focus, the second half of Zelda's speech loses importance...
But I just find her mention of Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess to be especially crucial since she is likely referring to past events where the Master Sword served a chosen hero in Hyrule's History...and the fact that it is quite clear to hear and part of a pretty important cutscene in the game's story to me seems a lot more than just a mere Easter Egg...

Having read through most of the Historia, I haven't noticed any other mention of Ganon/dorf's Malice...only on that one page...While sure, I'm not ruling out it could be a mere coincidence, but it just seems too convenient for that to be the case now that BotW has yet another mention of 'Malice' but in a much more prominent way...

Tucking since the spoiler embargo has yet to be lifted as far as I know:

Spoiler

Dug up the whole text to verify:

Hero of Hyrule, chosen by the sword that seals the darkness…
You have shown unflinching bravery and skill in the face of darkness and adversity.
And have proven yourself worthy of the blessings of the Goddess Hylia.
Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight…
The sacred blade is forever bound to the soul of the Hero.
We pray for your protection… and we hope that—that the two of you will grow stronger together, as one.

What follows this part is drowned out somewhat by the champions' discussion, but on rewatch the source seems legit:

Forged in the long-distant past, the sword that seals the darkness…
Guardian of Hyrule, ancient steel, forever bound to the hero.
In the name of Goddess Hylia, I bless you and your chosen hero.
Over the seas of time and distance, when we need the golden power of the Goddess…
Our hope rests in you, to be forever by the hero's side.
Again we pray…that the two of you will grow stronger…and be together as one.

Cutscene here for reference:

The presenter has some chatter prior to the memory, but he shuts up during the scene itself. Should be audible.

Now the Wind Waker reference isn't quite as strong here - honestly the Salt description makes a stronger case if you set aside the Great Sand Sea's precursor from SS - but I do think it fair to take "seas of time and distance" that way.

Downfall-wise, I presume you're referring to the "golden power of the Goddess" - although it's been referenced as the power of the Goddesses many times, the only time it's ever been explicitly called the Golden Power that I could find was in A Link to the Past, so that checks out.

Wouldn't say either is as strong evidence as the Twilight reference - unlike the others, that one's pretty hard to arrive at via metaphor without some serious reaching - but point acknowledged nonetheless.

Also the popcorn bit was appreciated. For the record and such.

I hadn't actually looked up what her actual dialogue is during the second half and just sort of took people's words for it...

But now that I actually see it (and heard since I took my game and played that scene and the words do match, now that I can actually see what she's saying properly) I actually fail to see how it even references Wind Waker or A Link to the Past at all...'Over the seas of time and distance' this part appears to be more metaphorical as opposed to travelling over a great sea, just because the word 'seas' is used doesn't mean it's a reference to Wind Waker...and while it wasn't called the 'Golden Power of the goddess' in other games other than ALttP, it's still a Golden Treasure (which other game's have referred to the Triforce as) that is the Power of the Goddess...But even still that doesn't reference anything within ALttP that isn't already present in any other timeline...

Unlike the references to Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess which are quite blatant, I don't see this dialogue taking away from the legitimacy of those references at all...

What is this yellow blasphemy.

Fi is the spirit that rests within the sword, yes...and Fi's voice is the voice that Zelda is referring to...

If you listen closely you can hear the same sound fx that Fi makes, and also Fi's theme mixed in with the music (in both Zelda's Awakening and the Master Sword memories)

Fi isn't dead, but she can no longer move about freely as she did in skyward Sword because her purpose was fullflilled and now she has a new purpose, as now she's the one that judges and ultimately chooses the one worthy of wielding the sword during a time of need...

I feel Nickelodeon wasn't even this extreme with their constant reruns of SpongeBob.
