    I'd like to nominate 'Donkey Kong Country 4' for the worst AAA game of 2010 because it's fundamentally broken. I paid over 30$ for it and had to force myself to enjoy this XBLA-esque masochistic 2D platformer until the game wouldn't let me progress any further because I didn't manage to hit some animal 10 times on the head without getting hit more than 4 times? 30$ for a total of ONE hour of agonizing hatred. Fuck this game and fuck everyone who was responsible for its creation.
    We don't live in the early '90s anymore Nintendo, quit being so arrogant and stop assuming everyone enjoys having to replay the same fucking level over and over again. I play videogames for the experience, not for the challenge. If I've bought it I have every goddamn right to complete your silly videogame. Fuck off with that noise. It baffles my mind how anyone could publish a game like DKC4 for 60$ in 2010 and get away with it.

      Editing … I'm happy that there are still some challenging big budget titles between all the cinematic "press A to win" crap. Not to mention that the game is famous for being one of the hardest recent Nintendo titles. Everyone should know this by now.

      Editing … Wasn't DKCR originally $50? Anyways, I seriously doubt it had a big budget. It's a 2D platformer after all. The development budget was probably modest, definitely not AAA level. As for the difficulty, it was designed to be old-school, hardcore game, what else can you expect from a traditional 2D platformer? Challenge is part of the experience.

      Editing … It's a big budget 2D platformer with old school difficulty (that's what I meant). They aren't that common anymore. Anyway if you die too many times you are given the option to have "Super Kong" play through the level for you. There is really no reason to complain.

      Editing … @Magwaza: Is that so? How many times do I have to die before the game let's me skip a boss fight?

      Editing … Not sure if it works for boss fights. Google tells me you have to die 8 times in a row.
