Conker? What've they done to you pal?

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

The dislikes are massive.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

It's an ugly redesign to be sure, but how many dislikes would this video have had they used a new, original character for the Hololens?

[Dub H]

Oh Microsoft.

Go Burn.

It seems like a neat idea, but why on earth do you put Conker in it? Like for a game like this, it makes no sense. It's like putting Banjo-Kazooie in a game about building and racing cars...

He looks like Crash Bandicoot's cousin with fetal alcohol syndrome. Even discounting nostalgia, that is one of the ugliest lead character designs ever made.

[Rolent Tex]

Go Conker! Drink some booze and pee on the fools that have done this to thee!

Between this and Project Spark, it's like Microsoft know people want a new Conker game but don't want to actually commit to making one. Like, I know platformers aren't exactly big business anymore, but why not just make a downloadable title instead of a big budget game just to see if that interest can be transformed into profit?

Even if it wasn't Conker it's still an ugly design.

I'm lost for words....they somehow created a worser redesign then the nut and bolt Banjo design.

Alright, now I will actually discuss this...

What the flying **** have Microsoft done to Rare? In the late 90s and very early 2000s, Rare were killing it with games like Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64 and of course, the Rare property that Microsoft ended up getting when they purchased the company. We get games like Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and remakes of Conker's Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark. You'd think that they would invest into these popular series with very good quality games. Instead, they barely even touch them, now look what they have done to Conker.

So he swears and shit right... Right?

Rare has barely been a shell of their former glory for a good decade now. Plus Microsoft decided that they were better qualified to develop Kinect games since they thought that people actually cared about the Kinect.

I just don't get Microsoft's line of thinking. Surely they could just appease the masses, put out legit games with these nostalgic characters and rake cash in? But instead they throw out experimental shit like this and mess up what people have loved, and end up with people rejecting it out of spite.

It is the classic Suits play :

"We want you to do your stuff! You know,we really like what you have done,just do your own stuff!

Except we would like this this this instead of this ,and forget about that ,that will never sell.



Wow,this is a piece of trash,why did we get you?"

Conker actually didn't like swearing. He was more about drinking, being selfish and generally being an asshole.

It really is amazing that they have done next to nothing with Conker since acquiring him. The franchise could easily be their answer to Mario, but instead they've given us a lousy reboot game and not much else.

f*** it...just sell Conker and Banjo back to Nintendo. Throw Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gymanni in there too. I don't expect too much, but they could at least use the characters for Smash Bros.

To give you an idea on how smart Microsoft is...when they bought RARE, they also thought they got the rights to the Donkey Kong series too despite it being one of Nintendo oldest franchise.

[The Ichi]

I hate the design but I'm kind of liking the idea of having a video game take place in my mess of a bedroom.

One executive thought that. Don't exaggerate thinking all of Microsoft or the person in charge of buying Rare thought that. One idiot suit being an idiot thought that.

This is another one of those myths spread by people who've never played the game.

Conker never curses.
