I don’t even think it’s just a general coming of age thing that everyone goes through, I’m almost certain that we’re actually in some dark times, universally
A good question for cod I suppose the golden age was cod later childhood like 9 10 and 11 and the bad games were like teenage years.and now entering adulthood cod is making its comeback
It's not Iconic at all it's Nostalgic to some. Even as a kid this was to kiddish for me. Especially with games like Conker, it's basically making fun of those types of games.
The golden age of 3-D platform games. This is the best one from that era. I've just replayed it on Rare Replay and it's as good now as it was twenty years ago.
"Swim. Swim you goddamn bear!" Love that moment Also love how you spend just as much time joking about the game as you do actually talk about it. Just goes to show how fun and lighthearted it is
There you are playing banjo kazooie. And BAM you have a extinct bird scratching your back. Edit: thx for 100 likes, now I hope that Actman will kiss me goodnight
I remember my uncle had this game on N64 when I was like 5 or 6 and he let me borrow it when he finished it. I played it so much, and played the sequel even more. So many nostalgic memories, the skeletons used to scare the piss out of me. Twas definetely the golden era of Rare Games and platformers in general.
Oh You don't know what to do? That's ok I'll tell you. But first, this comment is sponsored by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS. Ok so all you have to do is spend thousands of $. Summon for stuff, get nothing good, then spend even more. Good game right?

Ah my childhood, I can still hear every single song, voice, and sound effect in this game. I believe this game is what gave me my over the top sarcastic personality
I just completed this after struggling to complete it as a kid when it was release. I was blown away by how funny and enjoyable it was. Easily in my top 10 ever games, maybe even top 5.
I played through this with my dad. It holds a very special memory to me. I was only 7 at the time it came out. Banjo, Ocarina, Goldeneye, Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, Majora's Mask. The N64 was truly the best.
@DerpToni616372 Its free to play. They have to make their money somehow. Its when that shit creeps into the non free to play games that it becomes a problem.
16:57 The word you're looking for is "Dynamic Music/Soundtrack" It's when the soundtrack seamlessly transitions into different variants of the same tune but with different jingles depending on what you're doing/where you are. This isn't unique to just Banjo, the most similar in style to Banjo would be Jak & Daxter 1 and 2. But there are many forms of Dynamic or Adaptive music. LucasArts 90's games had their own system to make music match what's going on onscreen. Even Red Dead Redemption has it's own form of Dynamic music.
Indeed. It’s a fairly common practice these days, if you extract audio from a bunch of different games you’ll find that the tracks are composed of a number of layers that fade in and out depending on the action onscreen.
Valetta Shepard true but not many games have a different mix depending weither are underwater and a lot of games very poorly executed their dynamic soundtrack take gta v online a lot of them are pretty well made but almost all of them are base around how much action is going on aka enemies attacking you so during long fire fight or long driving you get the same loop repeated over and over again until you want to turn it off entirely lucky when driving you got the radio but it’s also an issue in police chases where it will always turn off the radio any time you get inside a car and it doesn’t help the grind were if you are doing the same job over and over and the action dies almost as quickly as it starts and it’s nothing but the same droning loop over and over again. And while that mostly an issue of simplified design there’s also game with much more complex systems that also suffer from the ten second loops. Nfs carbon(a game I beat like seven times) has a dynamic soundtrack that factors in your car type rival car types, your podium position in the race and how close to the finish you/others are. So beside minor flaws is pretty cool but it suffers to if you are “too good” aka stay in first place for most of the race. And while the soundtrack does change over the course of the race from the last factor but you can only hear the the orchestra so many times before it’s gets repetitive and if you use the same type of car though out the campaign(which the game encourages) and take down each gang one at a time you’ll hear a lot of the same stuff over and over again. So yeah dynamic music is a thing but not in the same way act man describe it where not only each level has its own soundtrack but depending on where you are at in the level the soundtrack remix itself for that area I mean I think destiny 2 had a dynamic soundtrack but it goes from low energy to high energy depending on if you are in a firefight or not but doesn’t change if you are fighting a different faction, is inside a building or on a rooftop it just loads up one song and switch between the low and the high doesn’t change different tunes of the instrument or any of that stuff it’s pre made loops but having a different version play while under water where you can tell it’s similar but the changes make it fit better under water image if gta changes things depending if you are in a car or not or better yet how damge you are or if you are in the air compared to on the ground it all similar sounding but the difference enable it to fit more into what you are doing/where you are it would make cops chases more interesting compared to what system they have now now what I imagine what bajoo uses is different midi modes depending on the areas and all it does is change the order for the different areas which allows for seamless transition unlike modern games which used would often used one file and loop certain parts and have transitions to and from each loop in the same file which doesn’t allow for the remixing that would be possible with a midi controller but allows for more interesting loops since you are limited to predefine set of sounds bites or bpm. Tl;dr modern games use single audio files and loops parts of it bajoo probably used a midi controller with different audio bites depending on the level and both has their ups and downs
noname noname I mean if recall correctly it still used the loop system and beyond each level having their own set of music it doesn’t change when going into a different area aka going outside or going to a deeper level on a foundry. But it does work really well in reacting to your actions/linking to events, such as getting a finisher or triggering enemies spawns. Which definitely helps a lot in terms of combat and transition between combat and exploration. But if you are just walking around after killing everyone trying to find that last secret you’ll notice the lack of dynamic music in just exploring sure it changes with different levels but exploration suffer from this. Now doom is heavily set towards combat while banjoo is heavily set to exploration so where they set the changes is very different. Also doom have the advantage of much more level sound effects so while the music will become very repetitive the environment sounds help break up that especially the announcement which bring nice doses of dark humor. In any case still not the same but it works very well for what it was designed for. tl;dr doom dynamic is base around combat banjoo is base around location
@@RyoLeo Jak II does it for everything. From exploration, to having a weapon out, to driving, to JET-Boarding, Mech suit, turret, to slowly building up percussion and stingers PER enemy in your vicinity up to 5 I believe. The layering is just superb.
I'm glad that Banjo finally got some coverage on this channel! All throughout your vids I hear the soundtracks from Kazooie and DK64 and always find myself wondering if and when these games will be covered. That rocks man🤘🤘
It's interesting to have nostalgia for a game I never actually played. Back in 2001 or so my brother played Banjo Kazooie on the N64 and I sat there and watched him play it in its entirety. Listening to the music and watching snippets of it today gives me that same warm and happy feeling I got the first time I experienced it. I'm back in our childhood home with the extra unplugged n64 controller in my hand "playing" a classic. I hope I can play it for myself someday. I just need to get my hands on the old console!
I kind of understand the feeling. I got Dark Cloud back on the PS2 when it came out. I played it a bit but couldn’t get past the first area and had trouble keeping money. My Dad eventually tried it out and loved it and beat it. I ended up helping him with looking up info on evolving the weapons of how to place the houses in the towns. He plays the game through at least once and year and I help him here and there. The songs bring me nostalgia and I remember many tricks and tips that I’ve learned from helping him but I’ve only played maybe a couple hours of the beginning.
1st time watching one of your vids this was such a good video, starting playing banjo on retro arch through steam loving it so far such a perfectly crafted fun game
I feel the same way. I was born during the GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 era and was to young to really think about games and now I look back and just feel stupid for never noticing all this cool stuff.
I replayed this less than a year ago. It was just as great as I remembered. It was actually pretty unreal how good the game is. It is one of those games I feel like would be easy to just update the graphics and port it, and it would still be considered a good game by today's standards. (I also still have several of the scores saved on my playlist, that music is timeless)
One of my favorite games, ever. Played it countless times whenever I was over at my dad's house until eventually he bought an N64 plus all the games for me. The game had so much character, so much love put into it.
I recently played through Banjo Kazooie all over again just in celebration for his induction in Smash, and I'm going back through Tooie again too as of now! Such amazing timing on this video indeed my man! Game is still a masterpiece in my opinion, and I agree with ye here man! Great work, and cheers!
The 90’s were a amazing time to be a kid . Some of my most cherished childhood memories were playing the n64 all night . I miss those times . Such happy memories. Life was simpler back then . Wish i could go back
Mad Monster Mansion is my favourite level by far. So much creativity goes into that level, and the music is excellent. It has a church, a mansion (with several rooms), a puzzle hut, a well, a toilet, a maze and so on. It's fantastic. Also, skeletons and ghosts? Hell yes.
I have a cousin who was one of my best friends growing up. I would see him every summer and Christmas when he was living with his dad. We would play outside for hours, and then when we got bored, we would go inside and play this amazing game, and love it. I get nostalgic and happy just listening to the music.
I appreciate this video man, I know that it is different than your usual content, and that is what I respect so much about it, you made this video out of your love for Banjo-Kazooie and for a variety of games. I grew up with this, and played a ton of Halo, Call of Duty, and Battlefield, so it is nice to see someone else enjoying a variety of games and putting themselves out there. Keep up the great work!
Matanumi Ok, that I actually agree with you. I hate how people for some mysterious reason jump to the conclusion that some thing are mutually exclusive. What gives?
Banjo Kazooie will forever hold a spot as one of the greatest pieces of art ever made in my opinion. The soundtrack alone is absolute GOD tier, and is available to everyone for free use at this point. There is good reason why tons of youtubers use it's music in the background of their videos.
So glad you finally made this video. Banjo Kazooie is my all time favorite; better than Super Mario in my opinion. I remember it being the first game our family got for the 64, watching my big brother play it and being mesmerized by its atmosphere. The music is hands down the best part and it’s so masterfully crafted and utilized. I can’t believe there haven’t been more (proper) sequels. Hopefully Microsoft does it justice in the future, or sells it back to Nintendo haha.
When I turned 10, my mom said I could have either Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie. All my friends had Mario, I loved that game, and Banjo-Kazooie was a complete unknown to me. But I had a good feeling about it, and I never looked back.
After years of waiting it truly makes me happy and get filled with pure joy having the bear and bird back again immortalized with the legends in gaming showing and giving the love and respect they rightfully have earned. Great video man
Have to give it to Rare. Not only did they create masterpiece after masterpiece but there remasters of Banjo and Perfect Dark are amazing on the 360. Instead of remaking the entire game, they up the res, up the frame rate and added proper faces in Perfect Dark while maintaining the charm of the classics. I loved playing through the games again and ill probably do it again.
I enjoyed the original Banjo-Kazooie and Nuts n' Bolts. N&B is different, but I really do like it a lot. It's a great, fun outlet for creativity. You can make a truly endless variety of vehicles for all sorts of purposes. I have close to 150 in my custom blueprint set.
I just love the music in Banjo, it's incredibly good, and belongs to that era where game music was at it's best. It's super memorable, and smash better add like all songs in Banjo
I have eagerly awaited this review ever since I saw the CIB Banjo-Kazooie in your background videos. Now we wait for Conker's BFD, one of my favorite video games of all time.
This game is one my favorite of all time !!! From the highly impressive and catchy music, to easily likeable and hilarious characters, banjo-kazooie is charming and super fun honestly. Amazing video dude!! 🤟💓⭐️
I wish I played this as a kid. But was able to enjoy this threw Rare Replay. I do see the charm in it and why people say it’s one of the best games of their childhood. Because it leaves an impression on the mind with how playable and fun it is your first time playing. Its easy to get lost in it and enjoy both mindless fun and puzzle solving. Now if you excuse me, I got a trilogy to complete
Legend of Zelda also uses a lot of themes with slight variations to represent like inside/outside, light/dark, etc. Or even variations of songs from previous games in the series. But especially with the older ones music is a huge component of the gameplay and storylines
2:33 Act Man, I humbly ask you to do the following videos in the future: Why was POP: Sands of Time SO AWESOME? Why was POP: Warrior Within SO AWESOME? (yes, I meant to type awesome, cause Warrior Within rocks, fight me) Why was POP: The Two Thrones SO AWESOME? Why was POP 2008 SO BAD? Why was POP: Forgotten Sands SO BAD?
Yo video may be old but I suggest doing one on Banjo-Tooie! My favorite out of the two chapters! It’s fun! It’s amazing! Multiplayer was really good! You can do some boss fights in the game which is fun too! You should REALLY make a “Why is Banjo-Tooie so AWESOME!” It definitely deserves one of those videos!
Just wanted to say that when you dropped the call of duty ghosts video i got it on my recommended page. Ive now spent the past four days watching pretty much every single video of the past year. I really wish i wouldve found your page earlier. truly good content man. making my week. dont worry i got the bell on. I aint missing another video.

I recently played through Banjo Kazooie all over again just in celebration for his induction in Smash, and I'm going back through Tooie again too as of now! Such amazing timing on this video indeed my man! Game is still a masterpiece in my opinion, and I agree with ye here man! Great work, and cheers!
The 90’s were a amazing time to be a kid . Some of my most cherished childhood memories were playing the n64 all night . I miss those times . Such happy memories. Life was simpler back then . Wish i could go back
Me: wait why no ads
Act Man: rAID SHADOW LEGENDS
Me: Ah, I see.
Btw I downloaded it
Mad Monster Mansion is my favourite level by far. So much creativity goes into that level, and the music is excellent. It has a church, a mansion (with several rooms), a puzzle hut, a well, a toilet, a maze and so on. It's fantastic. Also, skeletons and ghosts? Hell yes.
Act Man will you ever make a Metal Gear Solid review
YES. I hope the answer is yes.
Yea twin snakes
I have a cousin who was one of my best friends growing up. I would see him every summer and Christmas when he was living with his dad. We would play outside for hours, and then when we got bored, we would go inside and play this amazing game, and love it. I get nostalgic and happy just listening to the music.
Hey Act Man, would you ever consider making a video on Gears of War or the GoW series? I recently got into it and I think you’d like it too!
Yes I would! Might do Gears of War 1 soonish.
@@TheActMan "you get a frikkin CHAINSAW, MAN! " gg video done
I appreciate this video man, I know that it is different than your usual content, and that is what I respect so much about it, you made this video out of your love for Banjo-Kazooie and for a variety of games. I grew up with this, and played a ton of Halo, Call of Duty, and Battlefield, so it is nice to see someone else enjoying a variety of games and putting themselves out there. Keep up the great work!
"Why is Raid Shadow Legends so awesome?!"
Doubt
10 seconds in "Looks like even the Act man has caught the raids aids."
Act Man: *talks about Banjo Kazoozie*
Me: *remembering my childhood* YEEEESSSSS!!!! (Thor quote from Thor: Ragnarok)
Finally.... the video I've always wanted you to make, has come to fruition.

Everyone above the age of 12: *s i l e n c e c h i l d*
Well!....why not both!?
Matanumi Ok, that I actually agree with you. I hate how people for some mysterious reason jump to the conclusion that some thing are mutually exclusive. What gives?
@@Matanumi SURPRISE
Banjo Kazooie will forever hold a spot as one of the greatest pieces of art ever made in my opinion.
The soundtrack alone is absolute GOD tier, and is available to everyone for free use at this point. There is good reason why tons of youtubers use it's music in the background of their videos.
Beginning sponsor: RAID SHADOW LEGENDS :DDDD
CoD mobile: Bravo six, we going dark.
I wasn't much of a video gamer player but we loved this game growing up. It was pretty fun
"Why did I ever grow up?"
Trust me Act male Man, millions are asking the same question.
So glad you finally made this video. Banjo Kazooie is my all time favorite; better than Super Mario in my opinion. I remember it being the first game our family got for the 64, watching my big brother play it and being mesmerized by its atmosphere. The music is hands down the best part and it’s so masterfully crafted and utilized. I can’t believe there haven’t been more (proper) sequels. Hopefully Microsoft does it justice in the future, or sells it back to Nintendo haha.
After that sponsorship, we now know that Act Man can't review Raid: Shadow Legends, objectively.
sadly enough thats true the game is awful tho
When I turned 10, my mom said I could have either Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie. All my friends had Mario, I loved that game, and Banjo-Kazooie was a complete unknown to me.
But I had a good feeling about it, and I never looked back.
I screamed with joy when i saw banjo was in smash. My life is complete
Seeing this video on my feed made my day before I even watched it. This game will always hold a special place in my heart.
“Micro transactions need to die!” this video is sponsored by raid shadow legends.
Dude I used talon trot to get everywhere. Favorite move.
I've been waiting for this video for SO LONG.
Hello there brother

After years of waiting it truly makes me happy and get filled with pure joy having the bear and bird back again immortalized with the legends in gaming showing and giving the love and respect they rightfully have earned.
Great video man
"No random difficulty spikes"
Shows Banjo Tooie
Doesn't show Rusty F-it Bay
Bucket bay is still doable
Matanumi And so is taking a shit while having constipation. That's doesn't mean it's not painful.
Matanumi Disgusting argument? Yes. But also a solid one.
See what I did there?
Finally you’re covering Banjo Kazooie!
Act Man your grounded for not uploading for 2 weeks... nvm this video was worth the wait
Have to give it to Rare. Not only did they create masterpiece after masterpiece but there remasters of Banjo and Perfect Dark are amazing on the 360. Instead of remaking the entire game, they up the res, up the frame rate and added proper faces in Perfect Dark while maintaining the charm of the classics. I loved playing through the games again and ill probably do it again.
Someone: gives a point to why he is wrong in his videos. Act man: 0:19
I enjoyed the original Banjo-Kazooie and Nuts n' Bolts. N&B is different, but I really do like it a lot. It's a great, fun outlet for creativity. You can make a truly endless variety of vehicles for all sorts of purposes. I have close to 150 in my custom blueprint set.
Anyone you say is and will be amazing to hear!
I just love the music in Banjo, it's incredibly good, and belongs to that era where game music was at it's best. It's super memorable, and smash better add like all songs in Banjo
Aww Man. Got the main man talking about Banjo legacy. This is history class, kids. Take notes
Take notes, ha. Good one.
sit down, children. Let me tell ye a tale!
@@TheActMan Love ye videos. 👍
I have eagerly awaited this review ever since I saw the CIB Banjo-Kazooie in your background videos. Now we wait for Conker's BFD, one of my favorite video games of all time.
But, Man of Acting.
Banjo-Kazooie wasn’t awesome.
It was a masterpiece.

This game is one my favorite of all time !!! From the highly impressive and catchy music, to easily likeable and hilarious characters, banjo-kazooie is charming and super fun honestly. Amazing video dude!! 🤟💓⭐️
Nice, since we’re talking 3D platformers, have you heard of spongebob squarepants: battle for Bikini Bottom? (It’s getting a remake next year).
Well Act man
I wish I played this as a kid. But was able to enjoy this threw Rare Replay. I do see the charm in it and why people say it’s one of the best games of their childhood. Because it leaves an impression on the mind with how playable and fun it is your first time playing. Its easy to get lost in it and enjoy both mindless fun and puzzle solving. Now if you excuse me, I got a trilogy to complete
I remember being to scared to finish this game because clanker 😂
love that you're getting sponsors! Normally I find them annoying, but im actually hyped that you get to keep this thing going!
Been wondering when you'd upload this
Legend of Zelda also uses a lot of themes with slight variations to represent like inside/outside, light/dark, etc. Or even variations of songs from previous games in the series. But especially with the older ones music is a huge component of the gameplay and storylines

Act Man, I humbly ask you to do the following videos in the future:
Why was POP: Sands of Time SO AWESOME?
Why was POP: Warrior Within SO AWESOME? (yes, I meant to type awesome, cause Warrior Within rocks, fight me)
Why was POP: The Two Thrones SO AWESOME?
Why was POP 2008 SO BAD?
Why was POP: Forgotten Sands SO BAD?
2008 was great. You talkin mad smack, boi
I never thought I would need to hear The Act Man make Banjo Kazooie noises but now that I have, my life is complete.
Please do "Why was Fable: The Lost Chapter so Awesome !"
YES!
I've never seen you like this and it scared me. I wasn't ready for you to go from shooting games to this.
Well done. It was a good act man.
Hey man, just wondering, are you going to be reviewing Destiny 2: Shadowkeep?
Aapen Kind no
He's probably not going to
Yo video may be old but I suggest doing one on Banjo-Tooie! My favorite out of the two chapters! It’s fun! It’s amazing! Multiplayer was really good! You can do some boss fights in the game which is fun too! You should REALLY make a “Why is Banjo-Tooie so AWESOME!” It definitely deserves one of those videos!
When you said “a potion” I thought you said “abortion”
Just wanted to say that when you dropped the call of duty ghosts video i got it on my recommended page. Ive now spent the past four days watching pretty much every single video of the past year. I really wish i wouldve found your page earlier. truly good content man. making my week. dont worry i got the bell on. I aint missing another video.
What are your thoughts on COD mobile (it's somehow less pay to win then bo4)
