It appears due to me hitting the X button in the top right corner I lost the original article I was going to write. So now I will mix it up and try a different approach to why I play favoritism. Oh and I will also try and keep you interested like the Donut story.
Now Favoritism is a strong word, but in this case it may be the right word. Over time Rare has proved them selves to go outside the box that they are comfortable in. Name another strong developer who has made more then three different genre games that all sold really well. Because Rare has done this and if you don't believe me here are at least three.
| Genre | Game |
| Fighting | Killer Instinct |
| Shooter | Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Perfect Dark Zero, Conkers Bad fur day, Conker Live & Reloaded |
| Brawler | Battletoads |
| Adventure | Donkey Kong Country, DKC2, DKC3, DKC 64, Star Fox Adventures, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Banjo & Kazooie, Banjo & Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Kameo |
| Other | Viva Pinata, Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise, Blast Corps |
No matter who the publisher is you can't say that any other developer goes more outside there comfort zone then Rare. In my eyes it takes skill to go out side your comfort zone to make great games. This is one of the major reasons why I play favoritism to Rare.
As being a gamer and loyal to a developer that also means taking the good with the bad. I may not like every game they have developed. Will admit that not everything has been good for me, but most of the time they make the gem in the rough. Realizing you want them to draw away from the cartoony look.
As a fan of Rare I would say leave it be as they make great games and if you focused more on gameplay then looks you would realize that as well.
Then again there are little things that have happend over the years to help my favoritism grow. One would be the GamePro contest when I was in middle school as I came in 2nd place and won DKC3 for SNES. The slow motion SNES controller during Orchids finishing move if done correctly is really revealing.
Then there is something I like to call "A Tough Cookie" moment that only one other person will get. All these moments and a few more will always remind me why I play favoritism towards Rare. They may make games that look like cartoons, but those games are just as hard as any other game out there.
So now you know why I am a fan of Rare through good games & bad games. Bah Bah Bah
