Yeah, honestly, DK64 was the game that burned me out on collection platformers for years and years after I played it. I finished it, but by the time I got to the end it was really just a chore. And a few years later I remember trying to get into Jak & Daxter, and I saw it was well-made, but somehow it just wasn't in me to play through it. Running around performing tasks to collect x number of the same object just didn't appeal to me anymore. I could only enjoy more traditional action/platformers, like Rayman 2 and the Maximo games.
Mario Galaxy is the only collection/task platform game since that I've really loved. |
