ITT: Games so shit they literally killed their IP

Banjo's IP was dead long before this game came out, because Rare is dead.

God damnit why? I mean, it wasn't necessarily a bad game; but I don't think it improved anything on the first game and I could never complete it because it never felt right.

Every time I try to get back into it or try and play it, I end up getting past the sewer and the forest and that's it.

N&B is actually a good machine building game, just a terrible terrible abominatory spinoff game of the B&K series.

E.T. was the most visible casualty and contributor, not the cause. The crash was already happening well before it was developed.

>>320997278
Pic related.

>>320997478
That was the problem. Early faults with the first two were excused because it was an early release on the GBA, especially outside of Japan. Dark Dawn was too much of the same stuff with not enough improvement, released 8 years after the second.

Haha you're insane, do you know how many spinoffs and merch they made based on this game? It's also an amazing game, my personal favorite actually. And tons of people say they're more excited for P5 than any other game in 2016.

Everyone talented/good at rare left because apparently it was an absolute nightmare to work there. Supposedly management were absolute cunts and made people not wanna even work there.

By the time Rare joined Microsoft, it was a completely different company on the inside

The ironic part is, getting bought out by Microsoft was a good thing

Had Rare stayed with Nintendo, there would have probably been a Banjo Threeie on Gamecube. And it would have been absolutely, soul shatteringly awful.

Its autists that couldn't stand the idea of Metroid not being a 2d Side Scroller.

Despite using the same universe, characters, themes,music, style. And having its own great gameplay, its shit because its 3D instead of 2D apparently.
