I'm proud to say I never loved Rare.
Never played Goldeneye, PerfectDark, Banjo Kazooie, etc.
Only Rare games I've played were Diddy Kong racing (pretty good), Banjo Tootie (could have done without that one), Conker's Bad Fur Day (pretty good but got bored with it).
Was really looking foward to SFA but after hearing how long it will be I was turned off. Don't want another game trying to extend the length by some stupid pointless repeatative missions or collecting. The graphics look great but the ugliest game (Animal Crossing) has won me over for the Fall game to get.
