None of that was artificial difficulty, he just has slow reaction time and poor precision.

Crash was always a shitty game.

But one thing both parts of the world love
>boss is inexplicably immune to all status effects

>>713755128
It's even worse when they start making elite enemies also immune to status effects. So the only enemies left that you can use them on, you don't need to because they die quickly to burst damage.

Come on anon, the hitboxes are shit and this game has a ton of cheap deaths.

>>713754987
Good lord, emulation was fine back in the bleem days. Its perfect now.

>>713755928
That one's legit, but you can quickly intuit the hitbox of the leaf if that happens to you.

The controls are kind of shit though, a platformer on a plane with a d-pad is a bad move. It also has a lot of wonky hit detection and the character and the platform collisions don't like up very well sometimes.
It needed work and this was the same year as Mario 64 and many years after other 2d platformers figured this shit out.

>artificial difficulty
Post one (1) example of organic, grass-fed difficulty you won't.

>>713755990
Man I really need to buy a colony ship but I'm pretty short on cash... No way!!!

>>713755928
The collision box of the leaves and the model do not line up, you can get used to it but they really needed to a better job with that because there is no excuse in having something like that in a game that is all about platforming.

Triple mask breaks boxes on contact you should that by that time.
Piranha is clearly visible
You spun off the ledge
You landed in the water the death animation just delays showing the fall
Okay the hitbox extended 3 pixels to the right oh well
Maybe take 0,5 seconds to think before jumping on the torch
If you kill someone falling onto you you are still going to be hit by their body. Are you also going to cry that you can also lose by jumping in the water after beating him?
Yes don't just jump straight into the enemy this is the dumbest one by far it's not an autoscroller where you are supposed to just hold right and jump
Simplest pattern plus you could just jump around it easily
Don't run into an enemy with a spiked head then be lucky you didn't just die on contact

>>713755593
You would be surprised how many people still do that.

>>713756349
>Okay the hitbox extended 3 pixels to the right oh well
it's a bit more than 3 pixels, also more egregious with the fact you're partly controlling something else.
People like to glaze OG naughty dog, but crash 1 is kinda technically garbage for something that got a custom compiler and language made for it.

>>713756237
Mario 64 is so fucking trash compared to Crash and Spyro.

>absolutely atrocious camera constantly getting stuck on terrain, spazzing out, facing the wrong direction, refusing to go where you want it to

>2D Mario's momentum and physics work in a 2D environment where you always have a perfect view and perspective of the action; it's significantly worse in a 3D environment where you are constantly fighting the camera and there are fundamental limitations to perspective/depth perception

>constant easter egg hunt for random bullshit grows old very quick
It feels like a glorified fucking tech demo for 3D movement. You need fucking 6 inch thick nostalgia goggles to still convince yourself it holds up today

>>713756573
It's just a bad direction they angled the tiki to. You can see on the left side there how much the spikes are supposed to stick out. The hitbox is just a rectangle not each individual spike

>>713757113
just makes the whole thing worse.
If you can't be bothered to make nice hitboxes, you need to simplify the design for one or two major spikes for the actual clear danger.
Ambiguity in hitboxes is one of the worst feelings in games.

>>713757357
You have one option and a lot of time to make it. Further right.

>>713757414
you have one reused obstacle and a lot of time to make it, more effort.

>>713754447 (OP)
The leaf and the hog shit is the only shit that's actually bullshit.

>>713757414
A lot of time to make it right? No you don't, the whole purpose of those levels is that you are moving fast and things come at you just as fast.
Good hitboxes and well represented hitboxes lining up with the on screen models are key to gameplay.

>a lot of WRPGs where the enemies are blatantly breaking the games rules.

>>713758018
the hog hitboxes are fine, just tested it in an (accurate) emulator

>>713754447 (OP)
Alright I'm bored, let's run through this
>somehow you're to know that the box just breaks when you touch it
You mean a good 10 seconds before you started recording where EXACTLY THAT happened at least 3+ times - Not even a skill issue, you're just retarded
>a tiny fish that looks like a level prop
Not a single level prop exists as a 3D model. If it's 3D it's a threat or obstacle. The only prop is a 2D butterfly or dragonfly sprite. - Retard moment
>IT WASN'T ME IT WAS THE CONTROLLER
Shut up DSP, you fucked up - Skill issue
>Angled jumps with imprecise dpad controls
Everything operates under 8 directions, the leaves always end up side by side for a clean jump in one of the 4 cardinal directions - Retard
>glitching through leaf
Fair - you got ONE SINGLE POINT SO FAR
>hitboxes
The hog is rather strict with it's hitbox but you also didn't react soon enough. The size of the hitbox is Crash's who is kicking his legs out. The legs would've kicked the spikes on the next frame. - Skill Issue with a SINGLE MODICUM of fair
>First time interacting with these things
LIAR that is not The Great Gate where that exact obstacle appears halfway through the level. That's Native Fortress. This means you're a fucking retard AND A LIAR. Additionally it would've already been making a noise every so often as you were climbing so you'd have known there was SOMETHING making that noise and a little awareness would've helped you - RETARD AND FUCKING LIAR
>Monkey
Refer to fish comment, it's clearly an enemy and has some kind of attack - RETARD
>Ripper Roo
Why would you stand on the boss' platform? also you were moving to the left so it's also you're own fault for being a retard - RETARD and Skill Issue
>Bats and other timing
Yes, platformer games have moments related to timing where you need to wait for the right time to act, patience is crucial in a platformer. So is not being blind. Unfortunately blindness is a trait you and the bats both share. - Skill issue

Holy fuck the asspain radiating off that webm is pathetic and even more laughable when you consider it's some """adult""" sperg who made it to cry over a game thousands of children handily beat

>also your movement is relative to said dogshit camera that is constantly spazzing around all over the place
>now make all these jumps basically blind because you are fighting the camera
>lol bro just visualize the jump in your head
you are so fucking stupid. Momentum works far, FAR better in a 2D game where you have a clear view of the action, movement is not relative to a camera that is changing on a whim, and there are no issues with depth perception


this is why Mario 64 has such dogshit level design, enemy design, bosses, and hazards, the """challenge""" comes from fighting the dogshit camera and controls constantly just to be able to make basic jumps, so that's what all the levels are.

No, I didn't really care for it. I can see the appeal, but it's just too bloated with too many baffling design decisions.

Does the Nsane trilogy improve this?

>>713763351
Both the later Crash games and N.Sane Trilogy improve on the physics. Crash 1 physics aren't bad, they are just different from the rest of the series and an acquired taste.

Ignore retards who will inevitably mention "muh pill shape" that has been patched and hasn't been an issue since shortly after launch. It's been fixed for many years at this point.

N.Sane Trilogy is just the best way to play the games, but the originals are still really charming and worth playing too.

the issue with the camera in M64 is you don't control the camera, you control the Lakitu holding the camera. it's an unnecessary layer of abstraction that only exists because Nintendo were scared kids wouldn't be able to comprehend being able to change the viewpoint at will.

>>713760094
I think that spike prop with a bad hitbox is just placed pointing the wrong way too, so it's really a map design issue rather than hitbox.

>>713784003

Torches have a tell and the first time you see them they're behind a spike pillar, the horned turtles and monkeys both have prior instances where you can mess around with them and not get bonked into a hazard pit, Papu Papu already tells you that boss fights can still fuck your day up even after you already stomp them. Crash 1 is rough around the edges but the level designers knew what they were doing, nothing except the bats can surprise you, he's just a retard pretending to be both rushing and waiting in the same dumbass webm so he can justify walking into every single cycle.

>>713784710
you're not introduced to the monkey knocking you off in weird directions before then. the instances you encounter it before then you spin it as it comes at you and nothing happens, you just kill it.
another one is the first boss fight, you're never introduced to the idea you can stomp an enemy like Mario, up to that point you're only ever doing the spin move. So the natural instinct is to try and spin the fat guy in his jiggling gut every time he winds up for his slam attack. Why else would they animate it like that? Basic gamer sense says 'attack here'.

Yes, kids stumped as to what to do will eventually attempt a Mario stomp. that's how I figured it out too. that doesn't make it intuitive. stop being a faggot.

>>713754447 (OP)
I just bought N sane trilogy and a lot of these still shit, but somehow better than it looks in the video

>>713785356
Did kid you, or current you, never attempt to jump on an enemy before? Because you got the shield niggers that at least tell you that you can jump on enemies.

>>713785356
Its not intuitive which is why the game has the shield tribals and multiple kinds of wildlife explicitly to teach you to jump on dudes

>>713754447 (OP)
>wooow

>>713785552
shield guys don't appear until the fortress level (not counting the hog), which comes after the big fat guy boss. regardless, they don't die when you jump on them, you have to spin into them after jumping, so the only thing you learn from that is jumping doesn't work like it does in Mario; you only kill enemies by spinning. and that shields prevent you from spinning to kill someone. fat guy doesn't have a shield, so you don't think to jump.

>>713785654
tribals don't die from jumping and don't show up until later. none of the wildlife requires jumping on them to die; everything up to then dies by spinning. The only reason you would've killed any of them by jumping on them is if you got surprised and panic-Mario'd onto them.

Hey man, at least recommend to try Crash Twinsanity. It's a broken mess, but it does tickle some parts of people's brains. It's one of those games that you have to at least try.

>>713754447 (OP)
Artificial difficulty is when you can lose because of things you cannot control no matter how good you are at this game.

Example can be fighting with boss that randomly uses random attacks and by attacks design boss is able to push out at any moment a combination of attacks that cannot be dodged because all "Danger zones" cover each other at the same time or your character will be too slow to dodge second attack after dodging first and boss can do same combo multiple times even enough to get your health to 0.

>>713754447 (OP)
Elden Ring is full of those.

I remember at least one Soulslike where the mimics had a gimmick that you could tell if they were real or not, and the game just randomly had one mimic with no tell at all, so it was a guaranteed death.
Might've just been one of the regular Souls games though, IDFK.
I suppose to a lesser extent that whole thing Elden Ring bosses do where they add pauses and randomly extended combos counts as "artificial difficulty" in the sense that the only tells they have are things you don't notice until several playthroughs later, assuming they even have a tell, but at least the game offers ways around this via tank builds, multiplayer, becoming hilariously overleveled, or using weird cheese trickery.

>>713765903
Can't speak for OP or for Crash at all, but if you take a game carefully, you shouldn't lose (unless there's a time limit) via anything you can't control.

Having games just outright instakill you for the sheer crime of picking Door 2 instead of Door 1 is literally just shit they put in older games for the sole purpose of extending the gameplay so you're less likely to beat it in a rental session. It's not there to challenge you, it's not there to remind you of how tough the game's supposed to be, it's solely there to pad game time and slow you down so you're more likely to rent it for longer or give up and buy it outright.
That's it.
It's not a sign that the devs want to challenge you, it's not there to make the game feel "hardcore", it's just a remnant of an old trick used to fleece kids out of extra money.
Difficulty should be about what you can do as a player, how well you manage resources, how well you pay attention to details, and how you handle tough situations, not your ability to flip a coin.

>>713760094
As much as you btfo OP I truly want to thank you for giving me a new found appreciation for Toxic Waste. I pretty much never pay attention to the music in Crash 1 outside of a few themes so I never realised how good this is

>>713765903
Everything has to be 100% fair, and failure is seen as horrid game design. If the most brainless kid cannot get through it on first try it is seen as failure from devs.

>>713787445
Crash Bash is great if you have friends.

Crash 1 is the best game in the series by far

>>713760094
OP eternally btfo.

It's actually criminal that they included 1 because it's obvious that it stopped players from playing 2 and 3, which are clearly superior.

>B-b-but it's MUH PHYSICS FAULT!

I got used to them, it's just that the levels and bosses felt like they weren't playtested in anyway, whereas 2 and 3 feel like they were gone through with a fine tooth comb.

3 was good and interesting, but it just wasn't as groundbreaking as 2 for me. The unique levels (the air and bike levels for example) would be good if it meant more standard platformer levels.

Also watched a cringe YouTuber who said 1 was their favorite in the collection because of its shit design -- I'll never understand contrarians. Beating Stormy Ascent wasn't fun because the game controls like ass and I was just glad the horror was over.

>>713758213
chiming in with another based

>>713754447 (OP)

>>713760094
outstanding post
OP can now rope

I like the opposite. Genuinely great difficult design that BTFO's shitty players like the resident evil 4 hidden mechanic
>"BRO THIS GAME FUCKING SUCKS ASS THERE IS AMMO EVERYWHERE THIS ISN'T A RESIDENT EVIL GAME ITS CALL OF DUTY!"
>"Not sure what you're talking about, I never got ammo and had to stealth everywhere"
All because the more of a shitter you are the more the game threw ammo at you and spawned less mobs. But it never told anyone about this mechanic. Not in game, in the manual, or in Nintendo Power

So we got three reactions to the game
1) Good players that liked a great resident evil survival horror
2) Shitters that still enjoyed the game when it adapted and made it more actiony
3) Shitters who thought they were "elite hard core resident evil fans" and wanted a survival horror experience but were too ass to handle it

And of course the remake had to just make it a mother fucking menu option

I agree. Why does anything have flaws?

>>713795478
Meanwhile, RE6 filters actual shitters like you.

>>713795587

what made the difficult design good?

>>713795706
Honestly I'd have to have a big think. It was relentless and played like a proper TPS and doesn't have the awful turret section of 5, which I didn't use to mind while playing it on the 360, but it's just too fucking long for such basic bitch point and shoot gameplay. It needed to be split up into chunks or like 6, have it be drivable.

>>713758475
Yeah but you can meta-game the shit out of them with shit like the instakill barrells, teleport cheesing and the broken tea.

It was fun beating this on release. I didn’t understand the save system as a kid so I had to git gud to the point where I could perfectly do the levels. Going to a new node and seeing the name of the level was so exciting especially when it looked like a boss name. I panicked and died to him my first time but I was able to get back to him easily. I really like how arcadey the game felt but Crash 2 is the better game. But back then there was not much else to do so I didn’t mind spending a lot of time doing well in Crash.

Give me one reason that having to learn mechanics through trial and error is good?
If game elements aren't explicitly demonstrated to the player, either diagetically or through tutorial so that they'd be able to handle them if they're mechanically skilled enough on the first try, that is a failure of the game designer.
That doesn't mean that there shouldn't be mechanics that they should figure out on their own, but nothing that could kill a PC should be left to them dying to it first to understand.

Millennial cuckholds might love that stuff, but you'd have to be a retard to put up with it.

>>713784960
>you're not introduced to the monkey knocking you off in weird directions before then
You first see the monkeys on the Great Gate, five levels not counting Papu Papu before Upstream, the level in the clip, in a sidescrolling section where you can easily and safely find out that if you spin a monkey while it's rolling you will be knocked back

Games need to reward talent over trial and error so you don't get dullards like you that work hard rather than smart.

Of which Crash 1 DOES, you would know this if you weren't OP's cum dumpster accepting everything he said as factual after multiple people have proven him wrong. Unless it's worse than that and you're OP pretending to be someone else.

I don't give a fuck about Crash.

>>713799350
Talent comes in many forms. Not being blind for instance... Oh wait, that's what you're calling "Trial and error" because patience(another talent) is beyond your retarded comprehension.

“Bosses are immune to status” doesn’t really apply to Elden Ring at all, a few are, like Stone Gargoyles, and Elden Beast, but nearly every boss is vunrable to most statuses. Even ones that seem like mistakes, such as pic-related being bleedable, very resistant, but not immune, is immune to frost though, because he’s from Space and enjoys the cold.

Then there’s Bloodborne, where only enemy actually IMMUNE to statuses was Moon Presance, but most bosses had 999 resist to every status, which made it nearly impossible to proc even if you were deliberately trying, since “good” status build up was like 30 per hit, bosses just died before first proc. But you could technically poison every boss in the game except Moon Presance.
