Pretty much knew this was going to happen.

It's almost amazing Sony didn't just make the whole trilogy just one big Temple Run knockoff.

You have to ________________________________GET GUD

I wouldn't mind but Isaac and Meat Boy would be apt comparisons if used correctly. Just playing through the games is easy, going out of your way for completion adds an extra challenge.

Why don't they bring up actual platformers like Mario Odyssey and Rayman Legends no longer using lives and spin it as a positive comparison. "While the lack of lives makes for a smoother difficulty curve throughout games like Rayman Legends, there's something almost classic about hoarding lives and watching the number climb higher, or barely making it through a level on your final life"

Vidya journalists are all hacks. I wish I had such an easy job, besides you know making a hobby a job and removing the fun from it.

But you can't. That's literally why the Souls game design works. The lack of permanent penalty for a single death allows for riskier design and traps.

Crash with it's traditional lives and the coloured gems in 1 requiring perfect runs is literally the polar opposite of Dark Souls.

>>382278140

Camera's fine. I would agree on the controls if it werent for the fact that VV tightened them to par with 2 and 3. Reviewers just can't into old school platformers.

Not hard as balls. If you wanted 100% completion, the Cortex bonus rounds were the only really tough parts. Other than that, the N. Brio ones were tolerable, and if you didn't give a shit about them, you'd breeze through nearly every level. Only levels I can remember giving me a bit of trouble were Slippery Ascent and that one inside Cortex's castle, the one with all the scientists who threw shit at you or tried to electrocute you. But by that time you had enough lives that it didn't matter that you died a couple of times.

The part that upsets me is that it's not like this is a new game. The developers actually went out of their way to make sure that it plays extremely similar to the original. Do these "journalists" even think when they write this shit? If it's too hard now, what does that mean about when it came out? What does that mean about players then and now? The answer, of course, is that it's not hard at all. People are just fucking shit.

and in fact Crash 1 should be easier now if anything, now that it has a reasonable save system.

>>382280510

No. Crash 1 in particular is easier due to a couple of QoL improvements brought in from 2 and 3.

King's Field on PS1, obviously.

To be fair, the PS1 crash games aren't exactly a cakewalk. Compared to most other platformers, it's actually pretty hard. However, it isn't nearly hard enough to be considered "hardcore" and I find it hilarious these people unironically think it deserves that.

Also get my nostalgia away from your cancerous dark souls garbage.

>>382280818
dark souls is pretty difficult, but its difficulty is just a meme built up by journalists who've never beaten any of them.

>>382280351
Eh, beating CB1 with all gems was quite an accomplishment before. Certainly not impossible, but required a modicum of skill, specially with the old limited save system.

> Crash Bandicoot has become Dark Souls

No matter how hard you find Crash, it didnt become harder, it's been like this for 21 years. the remake is actually easier than the original. because you can save properally now.

>While it's easy to look at these games and appreciate the care that's gone into their presentation, actually playing them stirs up conflicting emotions. There's no way around it: they remain dated despite their fresh look. Enemies rarely react to you, preferring instead to follow pre-determined paths and animation loops. And many obstacles are needlessly discouraging; Razor-thin tolerances for success and one-hit deaths make for a frustrating pairing. You can control Crash using an analog stick now, but smoother pivots and jumps don't alleviate the otherwise stiff gameplay lurking behind Crash's goofy exterior.
Funniest thing about all these Dark Souls of ____________ reviews is that if they were actually reviewing a Dark Souls game they'd be fellating it for its punishing difficulty.

Wonder Blue throws a rose at the screen and the guy playing tries to catch it with his hand.

This just shows that if a dark souls equivalent was released in the earlier gets nobody would have even thought it was particularly hard. Even Miyazaki was surprised at demons souls reception. Difficulty was never the point, he said so himself. Of course by the time dark souls rolled round bamco marketed it with that prepare to die bullshit tag line.

It was an exclusive game for the PS1. Crash 2 improved on everything Crash 1 did, and that pretty much launched Crash into popularity.

The games were fun, Crash wasn't obnoxious and didn't feel like he was copying Sonic like almost every other animal mascot. So he got points for originality and the games actually being fun.

How do you even come to such a term when playing a Crash Bandicoot game?

>>382287953
Pretty much because it was the first of its kind and was like a mascot character for the system, like Sonic and Mario.
Crash 1 was pretty bad, but Crash 2 was fuckin great when it came out, only for Crash 3 to take all the wrong steps and ruin everything.
Crash Team Racing was a thing. Why though? Sonic and Mario also had racing games, that's why.

The big trend back then was trying to recreate the success of Sonic and Mario, all companies were trying to create successful mascots like Awesome Possum, Aero the Acro-bat, Bubsy. Sony wanted a mascot exclusive to their system so I guess Naughty Dog/Universal came with Crash Bandicoot and Sony signed off on it.

Crash clearly is inspired by Sonic, but at the same time animal testing was a big deal back then with media like Secret of Nymph and Ferngully so the concept of a mad scientist experimenting with animals was a no-brainer.

How do I get this absolute shithead to leave me alone? She never shuts up, and she makes me go to bed when I don't want to. The whole draw of this game, it seems to me, would be strategizing/planning out your time outside the dungeons. So I plan to take a day to buy stuff, train, read, talk to someone, whatever and then SHE MAKES ME DO SOMETHING ELSE AND THEN TELLS ME I DONT HAVE TIMETO DO ONE THING AND THEN TELLS ME I HAVE TO GO TO BED. And she wasted a day of mine by not telling me about the fucking calling card bullshit ahead of time. And I thought she was going to lay off a bit after the first dungeon but now shes fucking telling me what food to get at a buffet

1 is much harder than the latter two. You can skip that one and go right to 2 and 3 if you want.

If you go to the crash 3 menu and input the spyro code just before the square, the continue and new game grey out as if something will happen. They will patch in the demo at a later date once spyro is announced. Screencap this right fucking now

I wouldn't say hard as balls, but harder than the two sequels. A lot of people hear about how good 2 and 3 are and are caught off guard when they start with 1. 1 isn't a bad game, it's just a bit more demanding than the others.

Bloodborne is the Dark Souls of Crash Bandicoot.

Some of the later levels in crash 1 are kind of bullshit but children were able to finish it back then, and I bet they're able to now.The game has some retarded sections but it also showers you with 1ups.
The problem here are the posers writing these articles who only play games as a fashion statement and didn't grow up with them.

So /v/, how does it feel to have a look into actual casual skill levels? How does it feel to know that the Crash Bandicoot trilogy is realistically, unironically a casual filter by modern standards?

I'll summarize for you: It's like Mario but the levels are longer, there are more stage elements, and those stage elements come at you in more complex configurations while always ensuring that you are competent enough to beat them.

To shit on Tropical Freeze is to shit on consistent game design practices that platformers have iterated on since the 80's, and Tropical Freeze doesn't have any levels that stray from that, keeping the quality level genre-topping high

>longer and more complex state elements that never get too hard are inherently good

>>382296343
More of a good thing is good as long as it continues to mix it up and keep you on your toes, anon. That's just good pacing

The modern gamer lacks pattern recognition. You can tell from how horrible streamers are at the game. And from society at large ignoring dangerous patterns for virtue signalling.

Nah, I think a woman actually wrote this one.

It's been a while since I felt rage for something so silly

>>382296171
It's not like she does shit in either game anyway. I'm not seeing the problem here.

ITS OUT!

huh i also thought it was used to describe sneaky games like Thief

Keep projecting. Fact is the article can be taken either way.

The same reason that Mario's good. It teaches you a mechanic for the level, uses it, and then explores it over the course of the level. Donkey Kong just does that on a larger scale and with more complicated mechanisms without sacrificing the quality in a way that you might expect when something gets larger and involves more moving parts.

that's cute it's when things start having the "battletoads of (genre)" that I get scared

buying and trading negro athletes not only make the Olympics boring but defeats the point

instead of watching different ethnic groups complete in a friendly competition you get
>who can afford the fastest congo bantu negro

>>382297467
yes and mario has a set amount. if each mario level took 4000 years to complete it wouldnt be good because youd be fucking dead before finishing it.
