Also, to be fair, Chris Seavor improvised the games entire story and cast as he went along. This was also the reason why he did almost all the voices in the game himself. So he was basically writing from the seat of his pants and making things up as the game went.
5:40 Many people don’t get how to use the sunflower properly. You have to push A as you land on the breasts to get a higher jump and not jump off to the side. If you’ve ever played new super Mario bros, you might remember the pinkish red bouncy mushrooms that bounced you higher if you pushed A as you land. Same exact mechanic here.
I'd personally like to see your take on Live and Reloaded! It has more conventional controls, but they added more random enemies that just roam the world now.
The problem is the new artstyle.. I don't think it holds up especially the facial animations are much better on n64 version. Also I think they changed the multiplayer which was so good on n64 version.
I’ve replayed this game a few times over the years. Lately, whenever I start playing this game it’s because I fancy something simple which I’m familiar with, know I’ll finish, and can complete in ten hours or so. It’s basically video game comfort food for me.
I can see what you mean about almost ALL of this game except for the voice acting. The voice acting is amazing for what this game is and every voice is great to me.
The entire It's War chapter in Conker is one of my favorite gaming moments in history. I was going through the game mostly blind (ive seen the great mighty poo before and thats it) and genuinely, NOTHING could have prepared me for it. It was late at night and I was loving the game so far, the gameplay wasn't great but it has heart and I was loving the vibe. I'm a very forgiving person, so nothing has majorly frustrated me apart from the awful end of the Spooky chapter with the 3 keys. My stance at the moment was "this game is janky, but fun" And then I went to war. The cutscene where you arrive to the warzone and see all your friends die is one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen. Yeah, it's ripped right from Saving Private Ryan, but seeing these cute cartoon characters be BRUTALLY MURDERED was something I wasn't ready for. I've seen bad internet parodies of Mario killing people and Sonic having sex, but to see something developed by the same people that MADE those N64 platformers, at the same time, gives it an eerie feeling that I've never seen replicated. When you play Mario 64, even if you get creeped out by it, you're under the safety blanket of this game being a cartoon platformer for kids and adults. Even with Banjo-Kazooie's cheeky british humor, it's still an E rated game, you aren't expecting to see Banjo GET SHELL SHOCK AS HE WATCHES HIS FRIENDS GET BRUTALLY SHOT TO DEATH. No joke, I had to pause the game and just take a minute to process that cutscene when it ended. I was, not ready for it. And here's where the unfair difficulty of the game actually works to its favor, because while I'm sure they wanted the chapter to feel like an epic shooter, the bad controls and poor aim made me feel like I was in a survival horror game. The constant brutal deaths made me feel like a helpless soldier. Intentionally or not, they made you FEEL like you were just one soldier biting off a million percent more than you could chew. And then after that, you fight the boss, The Experiment, who is a FUCKED UP design for a boss, your only genuine friend Rodent is presumed dead, and you have to race back to the boat before the entire island explodes. And then you pass out, barely making it out alive, and as you are taken to safety, you have a talk with the general. War is a terrible thing. I've heard war is hell, I've seen people die in military shooters, but I've never felt the impact of it until now. Somehow, Conker's Bad god damn Fur Day, the game where you piss on rock people and bounce on sunflower tits. Live and Reloaded makes the entire chapter a lot easier with more standard shooter controls, and while the combat is more FUN, it sticks way less in my mind. I will always remember It's War and the final speech the general gave. I dunno how much is intentional, but I salute Rare for giving me an unforgettable experience.
Conker's Bad Fur Day is very far from being a bad game. Yes, it has real problems (the difficulty level varies greatly from scene to scene, the controls in the third person shooting parts could (and really should) be better, some sections can feel tedious, some of the humour is really childish and unfunny, etc), but overall it's a mostly really good single player game, and some of the multiplayer modes are really enjoyable, and they even include very good bots to play against. So yes, it is flawed (and some of the flaws, such as the sometimes inaccurate or badly chosen controls, *really* should have been detected by the beta testers and fixed before release), but overall very good and sometimes hilarious. It is also almost unique (at least I've not seen another action/platform game game that I think can match this one for being so funny and cartoon-like) and I don't think I remember seeing anyone say that they honestly didn't like the game. I wish the rumoured sequel, Conker's Other Bad Day, had been released.
@@korhol2065 Let me guess. Because of the censorship? Let me get this straight. You're really willing to call Live and Reloaded not only inferior but also outright bad despite all of the graphical and gameplay upgrades just because of censorship? I agree that they weren't necessary, but censored swearing can still be funny with the right context which Conker has in droves. Heck, the original game even had moments where the swearing was censored, and those moments were still funny.
Just a note on the mechanical fish since you didn't mention it. The head lamp actually stuns them briefly if you shine it in their eyes, problem with that is that besides the short timer you mentioned, aiming the thing is wonky as hell. Batula's mansion also actually has TWO beginners traps to make it worse. If you grab the first key before dealing with the bats in the library then they will just swarm and kill you before you can get through to the entrance hall and there's nothing you can do to fix that besides dying.
Oh shit, I never knew you could stun those fish. I played the absolute hell outta the game as a kid, but I think I just always opted to hug a corner and pray they didn't lock onto me, lol
I wonder if the game would have less gameplay problems if they were content with Conker being just a standard cutesy platformer. On a side note, since Playtonic is comprised of developers that worked with Rare, I wouldn't mind seeing them do a second attempt of Twelve Tales in the modern day. From how it was described in Beta64's video on CBFD, it sounds pretty interesting.
Looking at all the levels in Conker made me realize how all the movie parodies would work better as parodies of other game genres (The War for FPS games, Bat Castle for Survival Horror, etc.).
I really wish Conker had sequels, great opportunity to make parodies of other games, game mechanics, or even the state of gaming IRL. Conker had the potential to be a great meta franchise, could've been something like the Deadpool of gaming, or like the Animaniacs of gaming, but better. I would've loved seeing a new Conker sequel parodying Dark Souls, Resident Evil, GTA, or making fun of Bethesda always having bugs, etc. OG Conker was a little rough, but sequels could've improved and modernized the gameplay a lot like most game sequels do, and make the stories a little more cohesive. Conker should've been a long running franchise series like Mario or Sonic.
No, what an stupid opinion, that wasn't necessary at all, all the movie parodies worked perfectly as they were made and implemented in the game, it's perfect just the way it is.
And the Spooky chapter is already a survival horror in itself, with zombies, the laser pointer like in Resident Evil 4, collect keys to open a door... It's a survival horror.
@@Dani94Gomez Can you not move while shooting in that level? I haven't played it in forever, but I'm fairly sure you can move with the C buttons while aiming with the stick.
My friend walking into the room: woah how long were you there Me: an hour My friend: if you wanted that, just search it online Me: *It wasn’t for that reason*
The weird thing is that I don't remember being constantly frustrated with the game from playing through it 20 years ago, and I don't consider myself a "pro gamer". I guess I just lucked out in figuring out the game?
6:45 Honestly, you can just get the money after killing the mouse, then go to the poop shack, unlock bats tower, and finish that, which includes the BOILER!
Wym Conker is the best game ever I played it all the time as a kid and playing it as a 28yr old adult 😂 it’s so good I don’t care and I would pay for the maker to recreate it with atleast with more updated graphics and new story lines 😢😢 I was sad it’s only on certain consoles
@@rigorob4711That might be a reality soon, if you're on Switch. NSO+EP just received the N64 Mature app with a Rareware game on it. If it drops, we'll have online multiplayer in BFD. Just sucks that it'd be tied to a subscription, but it'd be something ig 😅
Saying that Conker is only beloved for being a cartoony game with adult humor is probably as ridiculous and stupid as saying that people only like Ocarina of Time for the nostalgia. The game is a hell of a lot more than just a simple concept, and is honestly one of the best designed and most fun games I played on the N64, hell there's a reason why it was critically acclaimed. 90% of the complaints I see always come off as extremely picky and absurd, and tbh I can't say you're an exception on that matter lmao
I watched this video for a trip down memory lane about one of my favorite games of all time. Honestly though, you're making it kinda difficult. Challenging gameplay does not mean bad design. You remind me of childhood friends that claimed the game was cheating every time things didn't just walk you through it. But seeing as you complain about "boring" hallways and such too, you're kinda coming off as someone who just likes to complain. It's not a good look. This was a first generation 3D game. They were still figuring things out. Remember the camera in Mario 64? Or, like, any other game of that time? Even Ocarina of Time has an occasionally awkward camera, and z-targeting was a revolution that is now pretty standard. This game featured fully voiced and *lip-synced* cutscenes, adaptive music, an outstanding variety of gameplay, crude hilarity and hard-hitting feels, that few games stand up to even today. Compared to contemporaries (remember BattleTanx?), it was a revolution that pushed conventions and hardware beyond the limits of what was thought possible. My love for this game is the only thing getting me through listening to you whine about literally everything in it.
How right you are... This guy is terrible at playing this game and he says it's because of "bad design", when the problem is that the guy sucks at playing it 💀 and yes, this game is a masterpiece, it's also one of my favorite games ever, it's really amazing
@@helloeveryone0 I agree it's not very balanced but bad balancing doesn't make a game have bad design for example elden ring is a phenomenal game but if you ask anyone who has played it they will tell you that the balancing in the game is pretty terrible balancing is just another aspect of design
@@247silvers does that automatically mean that every poorly balanced game is like elden ring? i mean, there is still bad design even if some of it is good, no way around it
Same here man. It's an art piece in every way and honestly I think I'm ready to make a play through myself except I'm narrating every moment to signify how beautiful the game is to maybe swing the public opinion around and see the true beauty and art in this game. Pipe dream but everyone deserves to see it how I do at least in consideration.
@@benamisai-kham5892 Well, most people who know this game like it, that's the public opinion, but yes, i love it too man, it's my favorite video game.
i played this game when i was 7-9 years old. i still have my copy and play it occasionally. i like the humor in the game, i like the scummy parts. they aren't flaws. the matrix reference was not very dated at release. the game's ending leaves me with a hollow feeling. personally i wouldn't change a thing, except for maybe the camera. i really like the gun parts btw, but when you are kids racking up countless hours on multiplayer you get used to the "jank". jank to me means that it requires more skill. that's not a bad thing. it's all doable so if you can't do it you aren't good enough and need to try harder, it's you not the game. frustration leads to real satisfaction. completing something hard feels so good, especially as a kid.
I loved the skill gap to really get good at the game because of the controls. I felt challenged on being a gamer and it made me better at games for it, I didn't feel too much handholding and I never felt too lost. It has a perfect balance of letting you do what you want but still directing you the correct way. The jank is honestly fun to work with once you understand how to control it, I've been playing since I was 4 and picked it up many time over the years. It's still a masterpiece.
I personally have always found the fact that the Panther King is so inconsequential to be one of the funniest things about the game (especially thinking about games like Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 and Mario 64). I think a lot of what has aged badly in the game's humor (apart from what might be seen as problematic) is caused by the lack of a specific context brought on by games of the time. Much of the game's jokes are based on clichés that were ubiquitous among platforms of that generation, and I've always felt that the same impact is lost when they become retro games, rather than current ones. Not that the context can't be grasped anyway (a lot of this is obvious stuff), but they don't pack the same punch.
Tbh, that is kinda the problem in a way. If you make a piece of media exclusively about subverting every little thing, that also means you eventually fall into the trap of "See this thing that was good? Let's do the opposite". It can be funny, but it is still a poor writing or gamedesign-choice, having done it on purpose does not exactly change that.
The audio mixing is really bad. For the N64 era, it pushed the technology for how much in game dialogue was in a cartridge. However, the mixing for it really ruins the timing for most of the joke. Like it sounds like they recorded some of these lines over the phone.
@@TomSeliman99so wrong. This game has SLUGGISH, BAD controls. It’s frustrating. Banjo Kazooie and DK 64 had snappy, responsive controls. If this game had those; different story. But this game controls like absolute mush
Alright, to me these points sound more like skill issue rather than actual flaws that the game has. However, I do agree that the camera may be a bit frustrating at times; especially when climbing up bat tower and when you're climbing the ropes in the poop section. I also didn't like the mission where you had to push the TNT guy, I actually found that part the most frustrating out of the whole game. I enjoyed a lot of the chapters, spooky and war were my favorite; but honestly the whole game was great for me. I first played it when I was 7 years old, and I never really struggled with the controls or navigating the world, I played it a few months ago and still felt it held its weight. I felt like the game explains the controls well enough for you to be curious enough to figure out the controls in later sections of the game. And I personally think that the voice acting in the game were hilarious and memorable in a way, maybe it might just be my nostalgia but I think they did a stellar job for just a couple people doing the voices. I felt like a lot of the flaws you experienced were mostly because you weren't patient enough when playing it. Over all I think you really should try it one more time, I also think the music from start to finish is phenomenal, although I don't agree with you, your video was also great and you did prove some good points for some parts.
Honestly the ending is fine when you think about what would happen if we had a good ending and a bad ending a sad ending is perfect because it's in the middle
I wouldn't want a happy ending tbh. The bittersweet ending was the first time I felt true heartbreaking despair in my youth and I wouldn't take that back for anything. I've never had a game move me so hard.
@@benamisai-kham5892 yeah cause with a game and a world like this a happy ending would be too cheery for a cruel world like this and a bad ending would be too edgy a bittersweet one is definitely welcome and yes playing this back then it left me a hole when I was a kid just staring at the credits as I never have been so moved by an ending still to this day nothing has come close to this
@@geno9919 yeah, I remember staring at the end credits just aghast and my throat feeling tight like tears were welling up but I wasn't sad enough to cry - just empty. No other game has made me feel that way I don't think any game will compare to that feeling for me as well. People may make fun of this game for it's humor and controls etc. But when you can make such a gut wrenching reaction from that experience it can't be discredited. I think the bittersweet ending is what *made* the experience worth it.
Based on the pitched of your voice and calling this game bad you were NOT born in the 90s and you don't know what good is. Your gen thinks fortnite is good, which says alot.
I feel like the commercials for Conker's Bad Fur Day are better than the actual game because they're so South Park-esque that you forget how bad the gameplay is.
idk I beat this game when I was like 7-8 or some shit when it came out in 2001 I believe and beat that. I've come back now as like a 29 year old man and a lot of the stuff you're complaining about is kinda just a skill issue, I beat all those things nowadays first try where you complained about it. granted I've played it like 2-3 years ago and I'm familour with playing n64 emulator games that I got the controls down on a PS4 controller.
Hmmm...I don't recall having as much difficulty as you, back in 2001. Also, Im not sure if you're going for a Charlie Kelly impression, but it's a bit distracting. In any case, I appreciate your footage and writing!
Conker was a difficult game because it came out at a time when everyone was playing platformers and it was made for adults. Calling it a bad game is absolutely wrong. It has more variety in gameplay than anything else on the ps1/n64 except maybe Mario Party.
I don't know how to feel about this video as while some of the stuff your saying is true some stuff to me doesn't make any sense so first let me knock out the negatives/criticisms first 1. Trying not to sound rude here but you kinda suck at the game I can understand some of this frustration if your playing with an OG N64 controller as those are wack but your telling me you needed a guide to figure out the shotgun? Some other examples would be the underwater blades, baby dino sacrifice, bouncing on the sunflower and pushing the rocks by the dancers 2. Maybe it's just me being stupid but despite your complaints about the difficulty you don't really mention how hard it can be to find out what you do at times but this is probably more of a me bad thing 3. The ending I can see how both people love and hate it because on one hand yeah the ending is so different and undeserving to a certain extent but to give my explanation on why I like it has to do with the fact that Conker has a simple desire that becomes overshadowed by his and others greed that leads him down a selfish story that ultimately leads to a selfish unfulfilling end 4. Kinda weird to compare Conker a game released in 2001 to games released decades afterwards feels like kinda weird to me it's sorta like saying "Why play super mario bros when you can play new super mario bros wii" sure one is better than the other but it doesn't mean the other isn't worth playing Okay now for some positives/things I agree on 1. Yes some parts of this game are rather ass the war section can be difficult if you can't swap weapons, aim, or avoid tripwires effectively along with the subs and other sections like peeing on the boulders, clangs lair, lava hoverboard ride, and the worms 2. The humor can be very hit or miss while some I enjoyed the terminator haybale and saving private ryan reference others like the matrix and me so horny reference birdy makes when buying the manual feel off 3. despite not agreeing for the most part I enjoyed the video it was nicely written and edited Also sorry if this comment comes off mostly negative
I think this was a fun review man, love your work and keep it up!! As for your question, I think you should alternate between review methods, depending on the game in question and what you feel would make it easier for you to review the game
honestly when i was little (like idk 8) my dad showed me this game and when the bee quest thingy came up he was like "yeahhhh no, were not playing this anymore" XDDD
@@Dafawfulizer That's quite interesting. I know save states don't fix wonky controls or how often you die, but it definitely saves the trouble of starting over from the beginning on most segments. If you beat this game without save states, you've definitely earned bragging rights my friend.
Some of the criticisms (like the gas mask not being part of the Great Might Poo confrontation, or the "design flaws" that happen when you avoid hitting the main attack button) have a very Nostalgia Critic/Cinema Sins vibe to them. Also, it sucks that part of your complaints boil down to, "I don't have footage of this, but believe me, it happened."
bro, do ‘I don’t have footage but it happened’ matter that much to you!? if you played the game, you wouldn’t even need the footage, and plus it can’t have happened more than 3 times in a 40+ minute video
RUclips Suggested I enjoyed this when I first played it. I found out about this in a video by Tats Top Videos called Top 110 Violent and Gory Video Games.
I liked this review. It's interesting to see a modern view point on a cult classic. I will say though, since you didn't care for the original Conker's Bad Fur Day, maybe you'd like the remake Conker Live and Reloaded a lot more. Not only does it have a complete visual overhaul to the point where I find it leagues more appealing than the original, but there are also multiple tweaks to the gameplay. I won't go into all of them, but I will list a couple. The air meter is extended significantly, you have an aiming reticle for everything, and the final stretch of It's War went from unfairly difficult to much more manageable. However, there's a catch to all of this that makes most fans of Conker view Live and Reloaded as inferior that being it's censorship. A lot of swear words were censored in this version, and a lot of people hate that and think it detracts from the raunchiness of the original. If you ask me however, it still retains most of the raunchiness. You see, swear words on their own aren't funny at all. It's the context in which they're used that makes them funny. Plus, the whole concept of Conker was that a cartoony platformer wouldn't be this absurd, and having most of the swearing be censored kind of makes that more apparent. But all this really depends on your point of view. If you want to play what I believe to be the superior version of Conker, at least from a gameplay perspective, you can play it on literally any Xbox console. It was originally an original Xbox exclusive, but it was made backwards compatible for every generation of Xbox.
I solely think the undying defense of the censorship, that is not a massive deal as many make, is from 2 groups. Nintendo fans who will die on a hill over anything from N64 gen being godly and cannot look past any issues with a game. Fans who played the game young, and have rose colored glasses from a child game with a cute squirrel cursing. It works really well in both versions and the remake truly feels good. I tried play Rare Remake version, it hurt a lot and felt bad, but L&R felt like I can enjoy it even with some faults.
What are you talking about... Conker's Bad Fur Day was a well made game, a large variety of gameplay from Rareware... it makes sense Conker slows down with a tad of momentum while running. This isn't a "BAD GAME" dude, it was straight up different and off the wall. I dont understand what you're talking about with the plant boob bouncing... you're the one holding a direction to fall off, all you do is high jump to get on them.. Z and A. Then time the A press at the bottom to jump high enough. You do not need to get higher jumps for multiple in a row.
I have not watched a video from you for a while, but I’m very glad you haven’t changed your style of videos since the 9 years I’ve started watching your content
From what I've seen and what chris and other Rare employees that worked on the game, this game was meant to be a platformer like kazooie or Mario 64. But it wasn't well received when they announced it because it was too similar to those games and people didn't want another cute platformer, so they just threw everything out the window and decided to make it as bizarre and as violent and as weird as possible, which is also why the game got delayed so many times (was initially supposed to release in 1997 and it ended up releasing in 2001) so that's what they came up with.
My personal favourite good, bad game is the Deadpool videogame. I love the graphics, voice acting, the combat , the gunplay and some of the jokes. I hate, the nonexistent story, Deadpool being a loud dumbass, the occasional annoying enemies, the bosses that are either too easy or really frustrating and some of the jokes that are not funny.
I loved this game until the caveman level. It was then that the game became a chinera of different game ideas with little cohesion and terrible controls and camera woth atrocious trial and error gameplay.
- I completely get your grievances with the game. I'm not the biggest fan of the game's humor, either. It definitely relies too heavily on toilet humor and pop culture references to be funny. Even the game's director and Conker's voice actor, Chris Seavor, has stated that if he were to make a Conker game these days, the humor would be dialed back and more subdued. Not so much because of political correctness or anything like that, but just that he's gotten older and isn't the biggest fan of some of the jokes made in Bad Fur Day. I would guess that the Lady Cog joke and the pooping cow are jokes he especially isn't proud of now. - I hated the in-game camera as well. It caused some problems with depth perception at several key points in the game, which is insane, because Rare got it right with Banjo-Kazooie! That game has a surprisingly great camera even now! - The game resetting your progress back to zero during a setpiece "pissed" me off to no end, especially in Rock Solid and the Lava Chase levels. The game explains early on that "complex mechanics" will be taught to the player if they press a certain combination of buttons, but it doesn't work, I swear. So I went through the game up until Rock Solid not knowing pressing Z made you pee farther.
As someone who's played LEGO City Undercover, it's worth noticing that game never lets the movie references distract from the story at hand, Even when the level is one big movie reference, like the Shawshank Redemption level, there's always a story reason (You need to go into Rex's cell to find clues to arrest him) I've never played Conker but from your description it seems you're just thrown into saving Private Ryan and the Matrix A great example of how Conker and Lego City do their movie references is with The Matrix, The Heist is the ending level and it's just the iconic hallway shootout. Lego City's big Matrix reference is much earlier in the game where you have to learn Kung Fu, not the most obvious reference and the Kung Fu dojo is a plumber that's a silly spin on Morpheus. And if you don't get The Matrix reference, you're probably still gonna enjoy this bit due to the jokes and the Australian accent + British dialect Morpheus has. Conker just straight references and Lego City makes a loving parody. Making sure the jokes are still funny if you've never seen the movie is more important in Lego City's case since it's a kid's game while Conker's whole premise is that it's an adult game disguised as a kid's game, bloody hell this comment is too long
I play this game and my dad calls it dumb and I said it’s an adult game and he said any adult who plays this is weird and it might as well be played by kids and teens💀
“The pissing controls are imprecise.” -my wife after asking to aim.
Also, to be fair, Chris Seavor improvised the games entire story and cast as he went along. This was also the reason why he did almost all the voices in the game himself. So he was basically writing from the seat of his pants and making things up as the game went.
So this game's entire story is all improv? I can respect that
another reason why this is one of my favorite N64 Games.
So he is the great mighty poo?
@@Grrrrzzz47 thats the only character he doesnt voice
Some of the prominent female characters (Berri, the sunflower, Queen Bee, the female cogs, and Jugga) were voiced by Louise Ridgeway.
5:40 Many people don’t get how to use the sunflower properly. You have to push A as you land on the breasts to get a higher jump and not jump off to the side. If you’ve ever played new super Mario bros, you might remember the pinkish red bouncy mushrooms that bounced you higher if you pushed A as you land. Same exact mechanic here.
Fun fact: Real squirrels can survive heights
I'd personally like to see your take on Live and Reloaded! It has more conventional controls, but they added more random enemies that just roam the world now.
He did state that after playing it for the video he didn’t want to play it again even with better controls.
They also censored it.
The problem is the new artstyle.. I don't think it holds up especially the facial animations are much better on n64 version. Also I think they changed the multiplayer which was so good on n64 version.
@@Droogie128we don’t care about that

I’ve replayed this game a few times over the years. Lately, whenever I start playing this game it’s because I fancy something simple which I’m familiar with, know I’ll finish, and can complete in ten hours or so. It’s basically video game comfort food for me.

I can see what you mean about almost ALL of this game except for the voice acting.
The voice acting is amazing for what this game is and every voice is great to me.
even stuff like the puppet girl in its war? idk what she’s called
@helloeveryone0 I would answer but like. I made this comment 6 months ago and don't know what she sounds like
The entire It's War chapter in Conker is one of my favorite gaming moments in history. I was going through the game mostly blind (ive seen the great mighty poo before and thats it) and genuinely, NOTHING could have prepared me for it. It was late at night and I was loving the game so far, the gameplay wasn't great but it has heart and I was loving the vibe. I'm a very forgiving person, so nothing has majorly frustrated me apart from the awful end of the Spooky chapter with the 3 keys. My stance at the moment was "this game is janky, but fun"
And then I went to war.
The cutscene where you arrive to the warzone and see all your friends die is one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen. Yeah, it's ripped right from Saving Private Ryan, but seeing these cute cartoon characters be BRUTALLY MURDERED was something I wasn't ready for. I've seen bad internet parodies of Mario killing people and Sonic having sex, but to see something developed by the same people that MADE those N64 platformers, at the same time, gives it an eerie feeling that I've never seen replicated. When you play Mario 64, even if you get creeped out by it, you're under the safety blanket of this game being a cartoon platformer for kids and adults. Even with Banjo-Kazooie's cheeky british humor, it's still an E rated game, you aren't expecting to see Banjo GET SHELL SHOCK AS HE WATCHES HIS FRIENDS GET BRUTALLY SHOT TO DEATH. No joke, I had to pause the game and just take a minute to process that cutscene when it ended. I was, not ready for it.
And here's where the unfair difficulty of the game actually works to its favor, because while I'm sure they wanted the chapter to feel like an epic shooter, the bad controls and poor aim made me feel like I was in a survival horror game. The constant brutal deaths made me feel like a helpless soldier. Intentionally or not, they made you FEEL like you were just one soldier biting off a million percent more than you could chew.
And then after that, you fight the boss, The Experiment, who is a FUCKED UP design for a boss, your only genuine friend Rodent is presumed dead, and you have to race back to the boat before the entire island explodes.
And then you pass out, barely making it out alive, and as you are taken to safety, you have a talk with the general. War is a terrible thing. I've heard war is hell, I've seen people die in military shooters, but I've never felt the impact of it until now. Somehow, Conker's Bad god damn Fur Day, the game where you piss on rock people and bounce on sunflower tits.
Live and Reloaded makes the entire chapter a lot easier with more standard shooter controls, and while the combat is more FUN, it sticks way less in my mind. I will always remember It's War and the final speech the general gave.
I dunno how much is intentional, but I salute Rare for giving me an unforgettable experience.
Interesting story. I remember getting a similar feeling when I played Chapter 4 or Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door for the first time.
It’s War and onward is actually kind of insane. I still remember the first time I got to the Matrix parody. My jaw was to the floor
Conker's Bad Fur Day is very far from being a bad game. Yes, it has real problems (the difficulty level varies greatly from scene to scene, the controls in the third person shooting parts could (and really should) be better, some sections can feel tedious, some of the humour is really childish and unfunny, etc), but overall it's a mostly really good single player game, and some of the multiplayer modes are really enjoyable, and they even include very good bots to play against. So yes, it is flawed (and some of the flaws, such as the sometimes inaccurate or badly chosen controls, *really* should have been detected by the beta testers and fixed before release), but overall very good and sometimes hilarious. It is also almost unique (at least I've not seen another action/platform game game that I think can match this one for being so funny and cartoon-like) and I don't think I remember seeing anyone say that they honestly didn't like the game.
I wish the rumoured sequel, Conker's Other Bad Day, had been released.
This is actually a great game gameplay wise
Conkers bad fur day is a culture change every 2000's kids had to experience
I feel like this game (Conker) is like cheese it looks good but as time passes by it starts showing its flaws and smell also outdated too.
Why must conkers bad fur day leave me so indecisive
Except the remake, that actually does suck
*cheese*
You should rather play the Remake
@@korhol2065 Let me guess. Because of the censorship? Let me get this straight. You're really willing to call Live and Reloaded not only inferior but also outright bad despite all of the graphical and gameplay upgrades just because of censorship? I agree that they weren't necessary, but censored swearing can still be funny with the right context which Conker has in droves. Heck, the original game even had moments where the swearing was censored, and those moments were still funny.
it was made in 01 this was the best n64 game hands down the non story mode was the most fun bears vs squirrels or dinos vs cavemen
Just a note on the mechanical fish since you didn't mention it. The head lamp actually stuns them briefly if you shine it in their eyes, problem with that is that besides the short timer you mentioned, aiming the thing is wonky as hell. Batula's mansion also actually has TWO beginners traps to make it worse. If you grab the first key before dealing with the bats in the library then they will just swarm and kill you before you can get through to the entrance hall and there's nothing you can do to fix that besides dying.
What's the second trap?
Oh shit, I never knew you could stun those fish. I played the absolute hell outta the game as a kid, but I think I just always opted to hug a corner and pray they didn't lock onto me, lol
I wonder if the game would have less gameplay problems if they were content with Conker being just a standard cutesy platformer. On a side note, since Playtonic is comprised of developers that worked with Rare, I wouldn't mind seeing them do a second attempt of Twelve Tales in the modern day. From how it was described in Beta64's video on CBFD, it sounds pretty interesting.
The sunflower part is literally insanely hard
I literally made it at the second jump in his b00bs, so... 🙄🙄🙄
Looking at all the levels in Conker made me realize how all the movie parodies would work better as parodies of other game genres (The War for FPS games, Bat Castle for Survival Horror, etc.).
I really wish Conker had sequels, great opportunity to make parodies of other games, game mechanics, or even the state of gaming IRL. Conker had the potential to be a great meta franchise, could've been something like the Deadpool of gaming, or like the Animaniacs of gaming, but better. I would've loved seeing a new Conker sequel parodying Dark Souls, Resident Evil, GTA, or making fun of Bethesda always having bugs, etc.
OG Conker was a little rough, but sequels could've improved and modernized the gameplay a lot like most game sequels do, and make the stories a little more cohesive. Conker should've been a long running franchise series like Mario or Sonic.
No, what an stupid opinion, that wasn't necessary at all, all the movie parodies worked perfectly as they were made and implemented in the game, it's perfect just the way it is.
And the Spooky chapter is already a survival horror in itself, with zombies, the laser pointer like in Resident Evil 4, collect keys to open a door... It's a survival horror.
@@Dani94Gomez Can you not move while shooting in that level? I haven't played it in forever, but I'm fairly sure you can move with the C buttons while aiming with the stick.
@@toxicmanbaby1069 You can move while you aim
"The game never tells you to also jump to get higher."
Wow

Actually...Conker was taking inspiration from South Park at the time when it was coming out.

Me: an hour

For all of Rock Solid's quirks and foibles, the track is some serious heat!
The weird thing is that I don't remember being constantly frustrated with the game from playing through it 20 years ago, and I don't consider myself a "pro gamer". I guess I just lucked out in figuring out the game?
6:45 Honestly, you can just get the money after killing the mouse, then go to the poop shack, unlock bats tower, and finish that, which includes the BOILER!
I always assumed that the Panther King was just a red herring for the real villain, the scientist
Wym Conker is the best game ever I played it all the time as a kid and playing it as a 28yr old adult 😂 it’s so good I don’t care and I would pay for the maker to recreate it with atleast with more updated graphics and new story lines 😢😢 I was sad it’s only on certain consoles
id pay 100 for a remake just like n64 and online
@@rigorob4711That might be a reality soon, if you're on Switch. NSO+EP just received the N64 Mature app with a Rareware game on it. If it drops, we'll have online multiplayer in BFD. Just sucks that it'd be tied to a subscription, but it'd be something ig 😅
Are you aware that there was a 2005 Xbox remake of Conker's Bad Fur Day called "Conker: Live & Reloaded"? 🤔
"Chlorophyll milkies" is a phrase that I did not expect to hear today
Saying that Conker is only beloved for being a cartoony game with adult humor is probably as ridiculous and stupid as saying that people only like Ocarina of Time for the nostalgia. The game is a hell of a lot more than just a simple concept, and is honestly one of the best designed and most fun games I played on the N64, hell there's a reason why it was critically acclaimed.
90% of the complaints I see always come off as extremely picky and absurd, and tbh I can't say you're an exception on that matter lmao
I was a ronchy young teen boy when this ronchy beautiful masterpiece came out. Summers of treasured memories
I would play the game in full but when I run my n64 for more than like 30 minuets the game crashes
I watched this video for a trip down memory lane about one of my favorite games of all time. Honestly though, you're making it kinda difficult.
Challenging gameplay does not mean bad design. You remind me of childhood friends that claimed the game was cheating every time things didn't just walk you through it. But seeing as you complain about "boring" hallways and such too, you're kinda coming off as someone who just likes to complain. It's not a good look.
This was a first generation 3D game. They were still figuring things out. Remember the camera in Mario 64? Or, like, any other game of that time? Even Ocarina of Time has an occasionally awkward camera, and z-targeting was a revolution that is now pretty standard.
This game featured fully voiced and *lip-synced* cutscenes, adaptive music, an outstanding variety of gameplay, crude hilarity and hard-hitting feels, that few games stand up to even today. Compared to contemporaries (remember BattleTanx?), it was a revolution that pushed conventions and hardware beyond the limits of what was thought possible.
My love for this game is the only thing getting me through listening to you whine about literally everything in it.
How right you are... This guy is terrible at playing this game and he says it's because of "bad design", when the problem is that the guy sucks at playing it 💀 and yes, this game is a masterpiece, it's also one of my favorite games ever, it's really amazing
That's a long complaint with lots of more complaining in it for someone who's calling the narrator a person who likes to complain
@@Rrmt98i mean, love it or hate it this isn’t the most balanced game
@@helloeveryone0 I agree it's not very balanced but bad balancing doesn't make a game have bad design for example elden ring is a phenomenal game but if you ask anyone who has played it they will tell you that the balancing in the game is pretty terrible balancing is just another aspect of design
@@247silvers does that automatically mean that every poorly balanced game is like elden ring? i mean, there is still bad design even if some of it is good, no way around it
I really like these review type videos, hope you do more of them.

Conkers BFD isn't even a bad game at all. To me it's the greatest work of art since the Mona Lisa
Same here man. It's an art piece in every way and honestly I think I'm ready to make a play through myself except I'm narrating every moment to signify how beautiful the game is to maybe swing the public opinion around and see the true beauty and art in this game. Pipe dream but everyone deserves to see it how I do at least in consideration.
@@benamisai-kham5892 Well, most people who know this game like it, that's the public opinion, but yes, i love it too man, it's my favorite video game.
i played this game when i was 7-9 years old. i still have my copy and play it occasionally. i like the humor in the game, i like the scummy parts. they aren't flaws. the matrix reference was not very dated at release. the game's ending leaves me with a hollow feeling. personally i wouldn't change a thing, except for maybe the camera. i really like the gun parts btw, but when you are kids racking up countless hours on multiplayer you get used to the "jank". jank to me means that it requires more skill. that's not a bad thing. it's all doable so if you can't do it you aren't good enough and need to try harder, it's you not the game. frustration leads to real satisfaction. completing something hard feels so good, especially as a kid.
I loved the skill gap to really get good at the game because of the controls. I felt challenged on being a gamer and it made me better at games for it, I didn't feel too much handholding and I never felt too lost. It has a perfect balance of letting you do what you want but still directing you the correct way.
The jank is honestly fun to work with once you understand how to control it, I've been playing since I was 4 and picked it up many time over the years. It's still a masterpiece.
I personally have always found the fact that the Panther King is so inconsequential to be one of the funniest things about the game (especially thinking about games like Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 and Mario 64). I think a lot of what has aged badly in the game's humor (apart from what might be seen as problematic) is caused by the lack of a specific context brought on by games of the time. Much of the game's jokes are based on clichés that were ubiquitous among platforms of that generation, and I've always felt that the same impact is lost when they become retro games, rather than current ones. Not that the context can't be grasped anyway (a lot of this is obvious stuff), but they don't pack the same punch.
Tbh, that is kinda the problem in a way. If you make a piece of media exclusively about subverting every little thing, that also means you eventually fall into the trap of "See this thing that was good? Let's do the opposite". It can be funny, but it is still a poor writing or gamedesign-choice, having done it on purpose does not exactly change that.
The audio mixing is really bad. For the N64 era, it pushed the technology for how much in game dialogue was in a cartridge.
However, the mixing for it really ruins the timing for most of the joke. Like it sounds like they recorded some of these lines over the phone.
I was thinking of commenting that, but I was playing on an emulator so I wasn't sure if it was an issue with the game or the emulator
Not a good reveiw. You can shoot the rockets during the submarine segment
so this review is automatically bad because he didn’t know something about the submarine segment?
@@helloeveryone0 no. Lots of his complaints are a skill issue, not with the game
@@TomSeliman99 i mean, he only played this once. you sound like a guy who grown up with this
@@TomSeliman99so wrong. This game has SLUGGISH, BAD controls. It’s frustrating. Banjo Kazooie and DK 64 had snappy, responsive controls. If this game had those; different story. But this game controls like absolute mush
I agree 100% if it's already hard to shot the submarines (that stay still), good luck shooting moving missiles.
There are some definite highlights and i can totally understand how unique it felt in its time. The game is overall a hot mess
bro loves his channel he made a whole 40 minutes video, i love u
I do really like this style of reviews more, but tbh you should do what would fit the game the best. Loved the video regardless!
Alright, to me these points sound more like skill issue rather than actual flaws that the game has. However, I do agree that the camera may be a bit frustrating at times; especially when climbing up bat tower and when you're climbing the ropes in the poop section. I also didn't like the mission where you had to push the TNT guy, I actually found that part the most frustrating out of the whole game. I enjoyed a lot of the chapters, spooky and war were my favorite; but honestly the whole game was great for me. I first played it when I was 7 years old, and I never really struggled with the controls or navigating the world, I played it a few months ago and still felt it held its weight. I felt like the game explains the controls well enough for you to be curious enough to figure out the controls in later sections of the game. And I personally think that the voice acting in the game were hilarious and memorable in a way, maybe it might just be my nostalgia but I think they did a stellar job for just a couple people doing the voices. I felt like a lot of the flaws you experienced were mostly because you weren't patient enough when playing it. Over all I think you really should try it one more time, I also think the music from start to finish is phenomenal, although I don't agree with you, your video was also great and you did prove some good points for some parts.
Gonna say it now…
Broke: Conker’s Bad Fur Day
Bespoke: Conker Live and Reloaded
This video is really good dude, you should make more like these.
There is one specific wad you can skip (it was a really small value. Unfortunately, it wasn't the one from the vault).
This video was absolutely delightful and exactly what I hoped for. Thanks and great stuff!
Honestly the ending is fine when you think about what would happen if we had a good ending and a bad ending a sad ending is perfect because it's in the middle
I wouldn't want a happy ending tbh. The bittersweet ending was the first time I felt true heartbreaking despair in my youth and I wouldn't take that back for anything. I've never had a game move me so hard.
@@benamisai-kham5892 yeah cause with a game and a world like this a happy ending would be too cheery for a cruel world like this and a bad ending would be too edgy a bittersweet one is definitely welcome and yes playing this back then it left me a hole when I was a kid just staring at the credits as I never have been so moved by an ending still to this day nothing has come close to this
@@geno9919 yeah, I remember staring at the end credits just aghast and my throat feeling tight like tears were welling up but I wasn't sad enough to cry - just empty. No other game has made me feel that way I don't think any game will compare to that feeling for me as well.
People may make fun of this game for it's humor and controls etc. But when you can make such a gut wrenching reaction from that experience it can't be discredited.
I think the bittersweet ending is what *made* the experience worth it.
@@benamisai-kham5892 shhhh
Conker is a legend
Based on the pitched of your voice and calling this game bad you were NOT born in the 90s and you don't know what good is. Your gen thinks fortnite is good, which says alot.
26:58 there's actually an easier way to avoid them. Do the High jump after crouching. Its really easy.
I feel like the commercials for Conker's Bad Fur Day are better than the actual game because they're so South Park-esque that you forget how bad the gameplay is.
idk I beat this game when I was like 7-8 or some shit when it came out in 2001 I believe and beat that. I've come back now as like a 29 year old man and a lot of the stuff you're complaining about is kinda just a skill issue, I beat all those things nowadays first try where you complained about it. granted I've played it like 2-3 years ago and I'm familour with playing n64 emulator games that I got the controls down on a PS4 controller.
you can’t rly say ‘skill issue’ if you said that you played this for 2-3 years..
Hmmm...I don't recall having as much difficulty as you, back in 2001. Also, Im not sure if you're going for a Charlie Kelly impression, but it's a bit distracting.
In any case, I appreciate your footage and writing!
Dude it isn’t even bad. Not even close
Conker was a difficult game because it came out at a time when everyone was playing platformers and it was made for adults. Calling it a bad game is absolutely wrong. It has more variety in gameplay than anything else on the ps1/n64 except maybe Mario Party.
I don't know how to feel about this video as while some of the stuff your saying is true some stuff to me doesn't make any sense so first let me knock out the negatives/criticisms first
1. Trying not to sound rude here but you kinda suck at the game I can understand some of this frustration if your playing with an OG N64 controller as those are wack but your telling me you needed a guide to figure out the shotgun? Some other examples would be the underwater blades, baby dino sacrifice, bouncing on the sunflower and pushing the rocks by the dancers
2. Maybe it's just me being stupid but despite your complaints about the difficulty you don't really mention how hard it can be to find out what you do at times but this is probably more of a me bad thing
3. The ending I can see how both people love and hate it because on one hand yeah the ending is so different and undeserving to a certain extent but to give my explanation on why I like it has to do with the fact that Conker has a simple desire that becomes overshadowed by his and others greed that leads him down a selfish story that ultimately leads to a selfish unfulfilling end
4. Kinda weird to compare Conker a game released in 2001 to games released decades afterwards feels like kinda weird to me it's sorta like saying "Why play super mario bros when you can play new super mario bros wii" sure one is better than the other but it doesn't mean the other isn't worth playing
Okay now for some positives/things I agree on
1. Yes some parts of this game are rather ass the war section can be difficult if you can't swap weapons, aim, or avoid tripwires effectively along with the subs and other sections like peeing on the boulders, clangs lair, lava hoverboard ride, and the worms
2. The humor can be very hit or miss while some I enjoyed the terminator haybale and saving private ryan reference others like the matrix and me so horny reference birdy makes when buying the manual feel off
3. despite not agreeing for the most part I enjoyed the video it was nicely written and edited
Also sorry if this comment comes off mostly negative
3:50 actually the box guys noticeably speed up. But yeah it was a repetitive section
Could we get a top 10 worst plot twists?
I think this was a fun review man, love your work and keep it up!!
As for your question, I think you should alternate between review methods, depending on the game in question and what you feel would make it easier for you to review the game
wow you were surprisingly harsh on this old fun silly game that was clearly made not to be criticised under a microscope by someone 2 decades later
bro literally almost every game is fitting of that title wdym
This isnt a bad game at all. The multiplayer is amazing and one of the best on the n64 with very advanced AI
honestly when i was little (like idk 8) my dad showed me this game and when the bee quest thingy came up he was like "yeahhhh no, were not playing this anymore" XDDD

Some of the criticisms (like the gas mask not being part of the Great Might Poo confrontation, or the "design flaws" that happen when you avoid hitting the main attack button) have a very Nostalgia Critic/Cinema Sins vibe to them. Also, it sucks that part of your complaints boil down to, "I don't have footage of this, but believe me, it happened."

bro, do ‘I don’t have footage but it happened’ matter that much to you!? if you played the game, you wouldn’t even need the footage, and plus it can’t have happened more than 3 times in a 40+ minute video

I enjoyed this when I first played it. I found out about this in a video by Tats Top Videos called Top 110 Violent and Gory Video Games.
what do you mean by bad because this game was great.
What happened to the inka games walk-throughs
I liked this review. It's interesting to see a modern view point on a cult classic. I will say though, since you didn't care for the original Conker's Bad Fur Day, maybe you'd like the remake Conker Live and Reloaded a lot more. Not only does it have a complete visual overhaul to the point where I find it leagues more appealing than the original, but there are also multiple tweaks to the gameplay. I won't go into all of them, but I will list a couple. The air meter is extended significantly, you have an aiming reticle for everything, and the final stretch of It's War went from unfairly difficult to much more manageable.
However, there's a catch to all of this that makes most fans of Conker view Live and Reloaded as inferior that being it's censorship. A lot of swear words were censored in this version, and a lot of people hate that and think it detracts from the raunchiness of the original. If you ask me however, it still retains most of the raunchiness. You see, swear words on their own aren't funny at all. It's the context in which they're used that makes them funny. Plus, the whole concept of Conker was that a cartoony platformer wouldn't be this absurd, and having most of the swearing be censored kind of makes that more apparent. But all this really depends on your point of view. If you want to play what I believe to be the superior version of Conker, at least from a gameplay perspective, you can play it on literally any Xbox console. It was originally an original Xbox exclusive, but it was made backwards compatible for every generation of Xbox.
I solely think the undying defense of the censorship, that is not a massive deal as many make, is from 2 groups.
Nintendo fans who will die on a hill over anything from N64 gen being godly and cannot look past any issues with a game.
Fans who played the game young, and have rose colored glasses from a child game with a cute squirrel cursing.
It works really well in both versions and the remake truly feels good. I tried play Rare Remake version, it hurt a lot and felt bad, but L&R felt like I can enjoy it even with some faults.
Also the multiplayer is better on the original
What are you talking about... Conker's Bad Fur Day was a well made game, a large variety of gameplay from Rareware... it makes sense Conker slows down with a tad of momentum while running. This isn't a "BAD GAME" dude, it was straight up different and off the wall.
I dont understand what you're talking about with the plant boob bouncing... you're the one holding a direction to fall off, all you do is high jump to get on them.. Z and A. Then time the A press at the bottom to jump high enough. You do not need to get higher jumps for multiple in a row.
I have not watched a video from you for a while, but I’m very glad you haven’t changed your style of videos since the 9 years I’ve started watching your content
Alternating depending on the game if you ask me
From what I've seen and what chris and other Rare employees that worked on the game, this game was meant to be a platformer like kazooie or Mario 64. But it wasn't well received when they announced it because it was too similar to those games and people didn't want another cute platformer, so they just threw everything out the window and decided to make it as bizarre and as violent and as weird as possible, which is also why the game got delayed so many times (was initially supposed to release in 1997 and it ended up releasing in 2001) so that's what they came up with.
the multiplayer is S tier
you’re very wrong. this game is a masterpiece. you just don’t get it.
Amazing critique
i guess conker is a game on the irish name Conchúir...?
My personal favourite good, bad game is the Deadpool videogame.
I love the graphics, voice acting, the combat , the gunplay and some of the jokes.
I hate, the nonexistent story, Deadpool being a loud dumbass, the occasional annoying enemies, the bosses that are either too easy or really frustrating and some of the jokes that are not funny.

rocksolid theme is best
- I completely get your grievances with the game. I'm not the biggest fan of the game's humor, either. It definitely relies too heavily on toilet humor and pop culture references to be funny. Even the game's director and Conker's voice actor, Chris Seavor, has stated that if he were to make a Conker game these days, the humor would be dialed back and more subdued. Not so much because of political correctness or anything like that, but just that he's gotten older and isn't the biggest fan of some of the jokes made in Bad Fur Day. I would guess that the Lady Cog joke and the pooping cow are jokes he especially isn't proud of now.
- I hated the in-game camera as well. It caused some problems with depth perception at several key points in the game, which is insane, because Rare got it right with Banjo-Kazooie! That game has a surprisingly great camera even now!
- The game resetting your progress back to zero during a setpiece "pissed" me off to no end, especially in Rock Solid and the Lava Chase levels. The game explains early on that "complex mechanics" will be taught to the player if they press a certain combination of buttons, but it doesn't work, I swear. So I went through the game up until Rock Solid not knowing pressing Z made you pee farther.
As someone who's played LEGO City Undercover, it's worth noticing that game never lets the movie references distract from the story at hand, Even when the level is one big movie reference, like the Shawshank Redemption level, there's always a story reason (You need to go into Rex's cell to find clues to arrest him) I've never played Conker but from your description it seems you're just thrown into saving Private Ryan and the Matrix
A great example of how Conker and Lego City do their movie references is with The Matrix, The Heist is the ending level and it's just the iconic hallway shootout. Lego City's big Matrix reference is much earlier in the game where you have to learn Kung Fu, not the most obvious reference and the Kung Fu dojo is a plumber that's a silly spin on Morpheus. And if you don't get The Matrix reference, you're probably still gonna enjoy this bit due to the jokes and the Australian accent + British dialect Morpheus has. Conker just straight references and Lego City makes a loving parody. Making sure the jokes are still funny if you've never seen the movie is more important in Lego City's case since it's a kid's game while Conker's whole premise is that it's an adult game disguised as a kid's game, bloody hell this comment is too long
You’ve never even played Conker, there’s basically no plot, which makes the references work better for the context of the game
@@MetroGexual I did say I didn’t
I play this game and my dad calls it dumb and I said it’s an adult game and he said any adult who plays this is weird and it might as well be played by kids and teens💀
And I now like clangs lair when I was 9 I didn’t know where I was going at all but now I think it’s fun

Agree that the only likable characters are Franky, Gregg, and Rodent.
