>>382645623
Playstation owners today don't play platformers because they're not movies and are "kiddie". So when they get their first good platformer, theg absolutely suck at it.
The audience for the playstation has changed long ago anf whatever is left of the PS1 is a minority.

>>382645927
But it's the dark souls of platformers

>>382645927
Sm64 is easy as fuck you are a retard it's not exclusive to sony they're fucking kids games

>>382646063
then why is /v/ screaming that it's hard as shit? it's almost like... modern games are easy as shit... or something...

>>382646124
/v/ is mostly joking about it. But I bet every news outlet complaining about it is serious.

>>382646124
That's true. Modern games are designed for retarded people so they can't be hard.

I played and beat crash more or less easily as an 8 y.o, Wtf is wrong with nu gamers?

>>382645623
because they never played when it came out

Dude do you even play modern games ?!

Even on hardest difficulty it's a snooze or grind fest. Infantile totorials. Instant gratification reward loops stacked over eachother etc.

They are basically escapism drugs lite.
You can't demand skill and reflexes from modern """players"""

It is one of the reasons why rpgs suck duck and we have to eat up that low tier garbage from the obsidiots.

I played the first Crash at the age of what? 4? I've finished it at least ten times. It's not hard whatsoever, especially not N. Sane trilogy where you can die on Native Fortress, Sunset Vista, Castle Machinery and The High Road. If you want hard Crash, try the Crash Prototype where you get to play a twice as long Sunset Vista plus the obvious Stormy Ascent, that was challenging.

Castlevania, Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, Contra and the like are examples of good and actually hard video games (still haven't beaten Castlevania III, fuck level 7). Crash on the other hand, not so much.

I said I played it at the age of four, you don't think I seriously finished it immediately? I probably didn't finish it before the age of six with help of parents.

>>382647235
This one. There are two level 7s though, this is the one that is busting my balls.

I'm not him anon but I've been playing hard games since I was younger than four. what is it that you find so hard to believe exactly? that not everyone is as young as you and some of us actually played these games when they were new?

>>382647367
desu you got what you deserve for choosing alucard

I 100% all these hard games as a kid. But now as an adult I absolutely suck at sidescrollers. WTF happened to me?

>>382647482
because you didn't actually 100% them. you just beat them

>>382647457
>desu you got what you deserve for choosing alucard
I always thought that was the easiest path. I should probably give it another go again, it's one of the last Classicvania games with the exception of II that I haven't finished.

>>382647621
No, I 100% them you dumb ass kid. Back then we didn't have downloadable games, so you played the hell out of the games you had

>>382645623
Has it been confirmed if you can die before the first checkpoint and still get the gem when going for the colored gems ins Crash 1?

Or do you have to quit the stage and then start it again?

>>382647772
Memories are malleable. Especially childhood memories.

>Prototype
Truly the Dark Souls of all platformers

And people complain about High Road now, psh

>>382647802
It was like that in the originals, so long as you don't activate a checkpoint you don't have to exit to world map. Once you do though.

>>382647802
I've tried pulling off a checkpoint, die and go in reverse destroying the respawned crates and then finishing the level and it did not give me the clear gem.

Dunno if there are special rules with the colored ones.

>>382645623
Its not hard. Its challenging. People expect to beat the game at the first try. I remember as a kid trying over and over the same level. Back then I spent more time playing the same game because I didnt had many. Right now people (casuals) just want to "speedrun" the game, to complete it as fast as possible.
Ive played those games for months when I was a kid, and they just want to complete then in 2 days and move on. Thats my bet on it

HOW. THE. FUCK do you get through the death route on Cold Hard Crash? That line of nitro crates over the ice is vile.

>>382649274
Git gud.

No, seriously it is 100% practice.

>>382647962

It's more harder since it was time trials now

>>382649531
what do you find hard to believe, that that anon beat the game as a kid or that he owns the game?

>basing your opinion of the difficulty on the PS1 game

People think Crash is hard now because this remake was made by FUCKING RETARDS. It is hard because they FUCKED the mechanics. They dropped these games into their "ebin 100% accurate engine" except it's not.

Fuck

Crash 1 was even harder back then because the controls were worse. And I heard the EU version of the game was even harder than the NA version.

>>382652412
I've played through Crash 1 and it is absolutely correct. You basically have to "edge" almost every single jump in the game. Get a run-up, jump at the very last edge, and hold X for the whole jump. Fail one of these and you may fall down one of the most basic jumps.

>>382646643
What's wrong with Dark Souls being considered difficult?
I've completed all of them.

>>382652595
The original Crash 1 controls are not worse than the N Sane trilogy. I've played them both back-to-back and Crash 1 has controls catered to the level design, which is the most important thing for a platformer. The controls aren't even that bad. N Sane has near enough the same level design but has fucked physics and mismatched jumping. N Sane actually gives Crash 1 a bad rep.

Also I don't know about the EU version being harder but you may be thinking of the time trials in Warped. I'm using the EU version btw.

>>382652412
return it

>>382645623
I haven't played the Crash games but I personally don't trust /v/ when it comes to platformers. Everyone likes to shitpost and say Jak 2 is a difficult and shitty game, but it's easy and the best in the trilogy.

>>382652287

What if you were to give this game to, say, twenty.... or so intelligent people i mean, what would that do? Let's face it what would it do?

>>382645623

>remakes of 20 year old platfomers get made
>suddenly an outcry of people complaining that it's not modern casualized shit

I have no idea what else you could have possibly expected, OP. It's precisely BECAUSE I remember how hard Crash 1 is that I saw this shit coming a mile away.

>>382653104
Why the hell are you calling others young then? You weren't even old enough to play Crash 1 when it released.

>>382653363
I played it when I was at least two anon, not that I bought a ps1 at launch. the point is that /v/ acts like the crash remake is a brand new thing which I don't understand since to everyone who's played it it should be old news

>>382653558
That is fine. I just find it a little funny you calling people young considering you only just turned old enough to legally buy alcohol.

I always like the first Spyro more anyways.

>>382645623

Because the people who bought this shitty HD collection are kids who never played the original. Big shocker, I know.

But it would be better if it was merely the original games in HD with anti aliasing. Unfortunately it's some knockoff mess with fucked physics and hitboxes.

>>382653482
Stormy ascent is harder than the whole plumber franchise upped x3. Fuck off faggot, how can you even speak when knowing you play a shitfest that goes wahooo every 2 seconds. Embarrassing, pull the plug autist.
