Finished Banjo XBLA with 12/12 achievements. Gonna start Nuts and Bolts now. I really hope the flying isn't as shitty as it is in Banjo Kazooie.

I didn't get my code for the XBLA version

fuck my life

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #62 on:** November 15, 2008, 11:22:45 PM »

Where the fuck are the sticky ball and torpedos, the Banjo Land Grunty fight is impossible without them.

This game is pretty fun.

And what is a good way to have your car turn proper? all the vehicles I build seem stiff. I need a hand brake or something.

Not at all.

Make sure you go back to the XBLA game after you create a N&B save. Grab the Ice Key and the Eggs for Stop n Swop and then go back to N&B, and you can get the stop n swop crates that give you useless items and a 0 point achievement

Costanza · « **Reply #66 on:** November 16, 2008, 03:31:13 AM »

where are those items

demi · « **Reply #67 on:** November 16, 2008, 04:11:44 AM »

You should have the grenade gun by now I think. That's what I used. One shot blows all the springs off her vehicle.

cool breeze · « **Reply #69 on:** November 16, 2008, 04:54:13 AM »

After the initial forced linear stuff, I just went around the showdown town and unlocked tons of cool stuff. I still haven't gotten that second game globe thing since I've just been messing around and creating stuff.

So far the two best things are a plane where the wings detach and it becomes a motorcycle or my giant flying fortress. The fortress is awesome because I have grenade launchers pointed downward to kill anything under me, plus I have an ejector seat.

Yea I wound up using the grenade gun. Then immediately after I found the Sticky Ball by the LOG720 entrance

cool breeze · « **Reply #71 on:** November 16, 2008, 06:53:50 PM »

The missions are a bit bad so far, and the controls are sometimes really annoying (one mission I actually got out of my car and beat people down to protect this guy), but i'm enjoying this game a lot.

And once you get the folding wings, there is really no excuse to not have every vehicle you make an airplane.

y2kev · « **Reply #72 on:** November 16, 2008, 06:58:47 PM »

I should get the game tomorrow. I'm excited to play it...the original BK is really great. Love the port.

cool breeze · « **Reply #73 on:** November 16, 2008, 07:03:16 PM »

It really is an amazing port. If there was ever a time that I hoped Rare was still with Nintendo, it would be now so they could port more N64 games -- then again N64 to Wii wouldn't be HD an as smooth.

y2kev · « **Reply #74 on:** November 16, 2008, 07:25:56 PM »

n64 -> wii would be a downgrade based on wii music

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #75 on:** November 16, 2008, 10:33:27 PM »

I'm still mad I didn't get my code. It was pretty much the prime reason I preordered it.

Oh well. I'll just buy it when it comes out

The main game so far is overwhelming me, and I'm haven't been able to build anything cool yet.

demi · « **Reply #76 on:** November 16, 2008, 10:44:28 PM »

Call GameStop online's number and complain, I am certain they will give you a code if you give them your pre-order receipt number (if you still have it)

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #77 on:** November 16, 2008, 10:46:21 PM »

I don't know how much it'll help, considering I already complained to the store and all they did was give me a MK vs. DC t-shirt

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #78 on:** November 16, 2008, 10:52:56 PM »

No, do call them. Many other people called them and got codes.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #79 on:** November 16, 2008, 10:56:20 PM »

Great, can't find the receipt

poop

could they search by my phone number to find my purchase?

demi · « **Reply #80 on:** November 16, 2008, 10:56:52 PM »

Maybe you can give them other information?

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #81 on:** November 16, 2008, 11:01:21 PM »

Okay, well, I have the phone number bookmarked and I'm going to call tomorrow and see if they could give me my code. Bummer I can't find the receipt though--I probably through it out, because I've always had good experiences at Gamestop, believe it or not. I mean, they asked for a phone number, I figure they'd be able to look me up through that.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #82 on:** November 17, 2008, 09:49:14 PM »

Got my copy today but I don't think I want to try it until the new dashboard hits on Wed. I want a new game to install. Faggotry at work here.

And I personally think the BK port is kind of shitty. The further I get into the game, the worse the slowdown is. I can deal with a little crawl but the game comes to a near standstill whenever you jump into the water, and god knows there's a shitload of water in BK.

cool breeze · « **Reply #83 on:** November 17, 2008, 09:50:22 PM »

I tihnk that's just something wrong with your system. I never had slowdown.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #84 on:** November 17, 2008, 09:54:04 PM »

Problem with my 360? That's unpossible.

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #85 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:01:18 PM »

Banjo XBLA runs perfect on my 720p. But, on my father in laws 60 inch 1080p it ran like ass.

y2kev · « **Reply #86 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:01:45 PM »

I installed it to the HDD and I didn't notice huge decreases in loading but some stuttering went away, which I liked.

I'm enjoying the game but having some eh moments with it. I don't have enough parts available to me right now to engage in the fun building stuff, so I'm stuck with the shitty stock vehicles.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #87 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:03:13 PM »

You can make some pretty good shit pretty early, want me to send you some shit?

y2kev · « **Reply #88 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:12:50 PM »

Can you? :O

I'm currently trying to collect people in LogBox 720 for that one guy and these bomb things keep attacking me and it just becomes very....bad.

cool breeze · « **Reply #89 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:18:36 PM »

Explore Showdown town to get lots of cool parts.

My biggest problem is that the controls are shit when it comes to doing close range stuff. The 720 level was so hard to even navigate because the camera and controls were so janky. The one air race that you had to do was harder than it should have been. I think the most fun is just exploring for new parts, then making a really awesome vehicle to fuck around with.

demi · « **Reply #90 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:18:56 PM »

Just attach a blower and fwooosh

Not parts, but blueprints of vehicles that are pretty simple yet pretty awesome.

cool breeze · « **Reply #92 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:23:56 PM »

So I can't send my blueprint of a car that becomes a helicopter that becomes a plane that becomes banjo flying out of it at high speeds without that person having all the parts? Also there is a flame thrower on it.

demi · « **Reply #93 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:25:04 PM »

You can send the blueprints, they cant build it until they have the parts

y2kev · « **Reply #94 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:26:17 PM »

Send me a simple but helpful blueprint!

Something I can get the parts for. I think I have opened like fix or six crates in showdown town.

demi · « **Reply #95 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:27:02 PM »

I just use the Humba prints and go from there, or the default "Chassis" options

btw if enemies are banging against you, attach spikes to the sides.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #96 on:** November 18, 2008, 12:53:47 AM »

You can get your photos on the website now.

I'll send you some later today y2kev.

I built a flying turret and camped their spawn point. I'm like 6th on the leaderboard.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #100 on:** November 18, 2008, 06:38:58 PM »

You should make the back part taller. They might fall out when you start driving to the spot you need to take them.

demi · « **Reply #101 on:** November 18, 2008, 06:45:49 PM »

Why not just attach a vaccum, like from the coconut collecting mission in Nutty Acres

I have a helicopter that isn't good for turning but is perfect for staying on one level and firing at some niccas. Will send.

I didn't send more because I wasn't sure what parts you have. Hope they are to your liking.

Some of these are so hard. I actually spend like 10-20 minutes just building new vehicles and testing them to pass a 2 minute long mission.

Hell yes! Got the TT trophy! I didn't really change my vehicle. It just took some ace piloting.

demi · « **Reply #111 on:** November 20, 2008, 10:05:27 PM »

39th in the Mr. Patches battle in Nutty Acres

Just barely under a minute - 59.94

demi · « **Reply #113 on:** November 20, 2008, 10:17:41 PM »

Helicopter with two egg shooters

cool breeze · « **Reply #114 on:** November 20, 2008, 10:26:02 PM »

wait, there are two Mr. Patches missions or was bob just mistaken when he said Banjoland? I don't want to do that again

I solved it by putting a turret on a vehicle and shooting it from the ground, then I flew up and landed on the thing before hitting them off using the wrench.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #115 on:** November 20, 2008, 10:40:01 PM »

There are two. And the second is worse.

Is there a quick way to do the sheep mission in Banjoland Act 5? Nothing seems to help me get a good time for TT trophy. I gave myself lots of juice, I built a little wall so they wouldnt fall... but I still cant get TT trophy.

demi · « **Reply #118 on:** November 20, 2008, 11:36:51 PM »

Oh and btw, people are getting free Banjo XBLA codes by just emailing GameStop and complaining that they didnt get a preorder code.

demi · « **Reply #119 on:** November 21, 2008, 08:06:27 AM »

I love the replays to this game. I was having trouble with that sheep herding level, so I watched the #1 leaderboard guy, and slapped my face after I saw what he did. Why didnt I fucking think of that? So I built one similar to his, and got it first try. Amazing.

Currently at 62 Jiggies & 44 TT Trophies (basically, every mission I've passed fully) - and I havent even unlocked Jiggoseum yet.
