What a game Conker was in my mind the greatest game ever but why? The gameplay is similar to that of Donkey Kong’s and the graphics are similar to most platformers so what is it that makes the game special?
Comedy! Fighting a giant, sweet corn eating, singing Poo is arguably the most funniest thing I have ever seen and it may of not been that amazing to play but the desire to see the next verse was so compelling we had to do it. I must say funny games such as Conker should be more regular in the future. Banjo and many other games do have the hint of comedy such as when Kazzoie replies to one of the games many characters saying, “you just made that up didn’t you”.
Comedy is great but should be confined to individual games as if Zelda was filled with swear words and references of a sexual nature then the game wouldn’t have the same magical effect. It is time other developers went down this road and thanks to yet another original idea of Rare/Nintendo they might just do so and make more money than ever before.

yes comedy in script does work keeps things interesting. Action and/or comedy are the main things I think make a game work
Warning Warning Airpressure compramised, airlock open, throw the alien out and sut the bloody door.
Scouse dung beetles and cash prizes YEAH!
No your right but Comedy is something i'd like to see more of in games on top of excellent gameplay.
I should of mentioned Duke Nukem and Silicon valley.

I don't think comedy sells a game alone. The whole fact that Conkers Bad Fur Day was so controversial was why it sold.
Rare made a cutesy platformer with swearing and beer to appeal to the older audience and show them that not all 'cutesy platformers' are well.. cutesy. The whole fact that the game was as surreal as it was sold the game. Comedy in a game is just a bonus. I'm not so sure people would buy a game just because they hear its funny for me gameplay is the most important followed by storyline and with it comedy.
Comedy is always good but nothing can beat good gameplay.
