>Abrupt spikes in difficulty
I'm gonna need an example of this so I know if I should shit on this opinion or not.

Actual complaints:

>runs at 30FPS with motion blur
>did nothing other than update Crash 1's controls and make it look prettier

>crash
>hard
lol

>>382231721
Crash Bandicoots were shitty on PS1, they don't suddenly become good with tiny speck of new paint.

>>382232001
But they also added more content.

>>382231932
I believe he is talking about Crash 1 (lv. 12)

>>382231721
I don't get it? 6 is good. If it were under 5 I could understand.

>>382232057

Why is this new meme? Crash games were the best platformers in their time, 3D collectathons like Mario 64 and Spyro are not platformers, just susbstance over style shit

Gamespot hasn't been the same since asspained nintendorks threw a fit over Twilight Princess 8.8. All their reviewers suck

>>382231721
Those are some really shitty criticisms, basically boiling down to "It' too difficult" and "It's old school". If anything, those are excellent positives for people who were worried they were going to do some sort of Spyro on this game,

>>382232151

Style over substance*

>>382231932

Crash games you got secret areas in earlier stages as well, and those tended to be challenging. Also getting all crates in some stages in the first game requires you to backtrack, which can be bit of a pain with an awkward camera.

But otherwise its just Gamespot reviewer not being able to play anything else than CoD and Walking Simulators again.

Maybe if they turned Crash into a gay black woman they could've saved it

>>382231721
>game journalist gives it a 6

thats a 0 in real standards. how bad is this shit

>>382232151

>>382232151
>Why is this new meme?
This meme is from the 90s. Crashes were shitty games. CTR was cool, but that's a thing on it's own.

I'll never understand people's tolerance for mediocre platformers, and even less I understand the attempts to push them up as actually good games.

Let's be frank. Just the single fact that there are levels where you run towards the camera is enough to throw the series in the trash and empty the trashcan into the sun.

>>382231721

>>382231932
Crash 1 is just a hard game, or maybe I'm just a casual. Crash 2 and 3 are easy, though.

In-depth... or N. Depth?

>>382231721
Those pros and cons are literally the exact opposite of the truth. The visuals are fucking terrible but the game design is generally great. Game "journalists" are such disgusting plebs.

>>382232439
Not him but CTR was fucking awesome. The sequels sucked though.

>>382231932
Crash is actually pretty inconsistent with its difficulty throughout all 3 games, especially 2, but that's still no reason to rate the game lower, it just means hes shit

>>382232418

Name your top 3D platformers then. Go ahead.

>>382232001
>>did nothing other than update Crash 1's controls and make it look prettier

So it's the perfect port then.

I 100% crash 1 pretty easily. It's not a hard game.

>>382232138
>6 is good

nigger 81-92 is good, not 60

>>382232439
>CTR wasn't cool
wrong

>>382232418

They were great, sold extremely well and a lot of people remember them fondly.

You may see Crash as a force competitor created to compete with Mario but he was an original creation of Universal and Naughty Dog far before Sony decided to publish the games and make him the mascot. They were great platformers, specially 2 that offered challenge, beautiful graphics (although limited by technology back then) and a pleasant way of mixing 2D platforming with 3D graphics.

It has literally nothing to do with defending Sony, people simply like Crash

>>382232418
>it was a meme from the 90s

In what timeline did you exist in during the 90s? This is some low quality bait

>>382232672
It's out of 10, not 100.

>>382232702
I didn't say a single thing about Sony. Crashes would be shitty even if he wasn't a mascot character.
Just like Sonics.

Nigger the rating system is the same except that they put a "." between the numbers

a 60 isn't good at all, it's "acceptable"

You're right. It was GOAT

b-but isn't that supposed to be a remake? of course it should be as difficult as the first ames

>>382232439
CTR is the best racing of its generation.

>Game is too hard
Not really a valid form of criticism considering the average skill level of game reviewers.

>>382234007
That's exactly what happens when you're not used to play FPS with a controller.

>>382234007
>that webm
I wasn't that bad when I picked up rtcw for the first time when I was 7

>>382234007
Seeing shit like that as a console player makes me fucking laugh.

The very first thing I did was crank up the sensitivity and put the hardest difficulty and it was still pretty easy was once you learn to abuse the shit out of gory kills.

>muh difficulty

gamespot really has become more shit than it already was huh

That is what happens when an uncoordinated hack who has never really played videogames is given a controller to play an FPS games.

The game is a collection of remasters, how the fuck is that a rehash

It wasn't fucking console wars time faggot
The statement was crash is shitty, and that's subjective
The Gamespot review was stupid though
>IT TOO HARD
>DARK SOULS IS HARD BUT THATS WHAT MAKES IT GREAT
make up your minds faggots

>>382231721

>outdated designs feel at odds with the modern presentation

that was exactly my point when I was critizicing this remaster

they just touched the graphics and didn't change 1996 mechanics and adapted to the day and age we live in, they went for the easy route instead of ironing out the flaws of the original, take ocarina of time 3D for example, nintendo din't simply pretty up the game, they switched some features out and fixed some glaring flaws like the iron boots not being equippable on C buttons, THAT'S how you re-release a classic, take notes activision desu senpai

to be fair, playing a fps with a controller is fuckin nonsense
It's even retarded than playing a racing game with the keyboard

>>382240302
no...no, I'm pretty sure playing a racing game with a keyboard is more retarded.

One is a casual filter thanks to its precision platforming
Two is the perfect balance of challenge and fairness
Three is fucking piss easy but forces in terrible vehicle sections

>>382231721
It's just a fucking review, even if the score was 10/10 you know this is gamespot so you know it is faggot tier shit, I swear you faggots fag out too much. Like look away from the screen nigger.

>>382238358
Damn, well. Yeah. Now that I think about it, there is no exception to this rule.

>>382237006
The biggest flaw of the original was the obtuse save system, which was "ironed out". Also bonus stages can be reattempted without needing to exit the level and due to their easier access, the boxes in them are now mandatory to acquire the stage's gem. The ten wumpa boxes also give two fruit per jump like in Warped. Plus Crash 1 and 2 now have time trials added and a playable Coco for all three games.

All of these are adapted tweaks and more than just touching up the graphics.

Nigga that's a D which is failing in most schooling. If you think that's acceptable then I feel bad for your grades

This is literally the worst review, the others are between 70 and 100 and the general score is around the low 80's which is pretty good for 20 year old games
