So, I have been trying to finish up a few platformers. Besides Mario, I find them infinitely frustrating. The controls combined with level design and camera problems. Or, I just suck at them.
The end of DK64 really bothers me. The part where you have to hit four floating rings with the jet pack to unlock a door. You have to activate the the jet pack which gives you 15 seconds to hit the rings, but the animation to equip the pack takes 5 seconds. Leaving you with 10 seconds to hit all the rings. All the while fighting the terrible camera and jet pack controls. Rage inducing.
Maybe I need to play some non-Rare games.
