What's the appeal of Crash games beyond "I only had a playstation so I had it?" Other platformers on the system do it better, yet this game has the follow it has because of a well designed mascot? Never got the appeal of the game side of things, but then again, I only played it at demo stations and when I did buy the games a few years back it bored me to death.

I love all the ps1 coot games, some of my favorite of all time. But generally when you remember something being difficult when you were younger it's not as hard as you thought it was. Crash is really challenging regardless of age, potentially moreso as an adult because I'm used to games being easier than they were during that era.
>>
>>385142326
They were simple platformers with charming characters and great graphics for the console, people liked that.
Crash also got to make it's own fad of "corridor platformers" genre with games like Lilo & Stitch, Donald Duck Going Quackers, M&m's shellshock and others.

I've never beaten the first one, didn't have it when I was younger. Should I play it? In difficulty I'd say the 2nd is more difficult than the 3rd. After watching some of the first one on the REmake it seems more difficult than the second and third. Is it Cress?

>>385139424

Croc, more like Crock of shit. The only thing that game series had going for it was the music. They were decent games for their time but Croc always felt like that game you would find and buy from a $5 random games bin and then go and finish the game in one day or two. They were easy and short.

Croc 2 mine theme is still my jam though

Just played through the crash games for the first time in the N Sane trilogy.

I think that Crash 1 is highly underrated. I'd go as far as to say that it was my favourite crash (at least with the revamped controls it is). Crash 2 and 3 are fun too but they're piss easy compared to 1, which had me stuck on some levels for an hour. The difficulty curve in 1 made absolutely no sense, but the best moments of 1 were way better than the best moments of 2 and 3, even though those games were more consistent.

I kinda wish the trilogy offered an option to play all the levels in the trilogy from easiest to hardest with the story removed. It's Kina unsatisfying finishing all the hardest levels at the end of the games, only to go back and play the easy levels at the start of the next game.

Wtf is up with the fucking forcefield lizards on the first colored gem level of Crash 1?

I dropped the trilogy when I kept getting every box without dying, only to get blown backwards by some lizard just standing there on one of the last jumps.

Spinning or not, I just get forced backwards mid jump with no visual indicators as to whats happening

I keep going back to play more Warped, having ran through and 100%'d the first and second games and I have no idea why I'm bothering to 104% it. It just isn't fun to tear my hair out getting the goddamn relics, time trials are okay in the regular stages and I typically get gold times on my first go, but anything involving a vehicle makes me want to die.
Whoever made the goddamn jetski levels should be clubbed.
>>
>>385155498
I found out that the best way to kill them is just to wait for them to jump at you and spin when they're about to land on you. Of course, there are also some that you have to jump on if you want that gem.
>>
>>385153286
Yes, good taste

>>385160858
Jetski and tiger riding levels are fucking horrible, but my personal least favorites are those stupid diving levels with those whirlpools that I find unexplainably difficult to pass. Can't imagine what led them to think that it would be a good idea to have 50% of the game consisting of stupid gimmick levels.

I think the absolute worst thing about all the gimmicky shit, the vehicles, the swimming, the time trials, those are part of the series now, indelibly. Just look at Wrath of Cortex, shitty vehicles, shitty swimming, MORE shitty vehicles, fucking time trials. And if another game does get made, probably by Vicarious Visions, it'll be more Warped, if their GBA entries are anything to go by.

How come people knock Crash 3 for tiger levels, when Crash 1 and 2 have the boar and polar bear levels, which are its equivalents?
>>
>>385161575
While Crash 1 and 2 have only a few gimmick levels, Crash 3 is literally half full of them. Those tiger levels in 3 are only a part of the bigger problem, if they were the only ones I wouldn't give a shit about them.
>>
>>385161910
Yeah that's really it.
I think there's only three Pura levels, and there were only three Polar levels in 2. It's not bad on its own, but when you're going into a Pura level right after a motorcycle level and jetski level it wears you down.
