ITT: Games that filtered /v/

Artificial difficulty

>>725622453 (OP)
>>725622545
There's nothing difficult in that game, or any crash bandicoot game, they are literally made for children... And no, 100% runs is not "regular gameplay"

The female N. Tropy always pissed me off because everyone else is grotesquely cartoonish and stylish, and shes just looking like a generic human african woman that doesnt fit in with the rest of the character design philosophy.

Guys really live like this and see no problem

>>725622453 (OP)
It feels like they thought they had to cram in as much content as possible to justify the $40 pricetag and in doing so they put way too much filler.
There was 0 need to put as many gems as they did, specially the three different wumpa fruit gems per level.
The n.verted levels were a thing that could have worked better for one single level in each stage, instead you're asked to play the whole game again. The only good thing about those levels was they actually changed the location of the hidden gem.

>>725622545
The N.Hanced mod does improve it the best it can without modding tools.

>>725623227
N. Hanced doesn't do anything that helps it.
You take out the tedium, which you could do with just skipping gems as was the complain developers made to people saying it was bad for years, but then you're just left with a quarter of a poorly designed crash game

i beat the flashbacks and finished the game but didn't 100% it. it's not that it's too hard it's that most of the levels have some rlly bullshit hidden boxes and i didn't wanna use a walkthrough

>>725622453 (OP)
Crash 4 was a fun playthrough desu, but fuck fully completing it

WHOA

>>725622717
She’s in the game for literally 2 seconds. What was the point of her?

what's with all the low effort crash bait threads lately?
the threads don't even make it past 100 posts, it's just getting sad at this point

>>725625191
It happens from time to time, people are pretty sure it's a bitter toys for bob employee mad that nobody liked the game.

>>725625191
a new Crash game is going to be announced soon so the viral marketers are shitstirring

>>725624114
Also, levels are long as FUCK, so it gets super boring and like it doesn't respect your time.

This is getting sad.

>play the originals
>there's maybe like one bullshit hidden box in cold hard crash in 2 and besides that the most secret hidden shit are just the two extra levels in 3
>play 4
>every fucking level has boxes hidden in the most bullshit places
It's like it was designed by a typical modder that thinks ultra autistic bullshit is good game design.

>>725625552
I look like this

>>725625594
a mod came out like a year or two ago that removes most of the hidden boxes

>>725625594
Having 1 single bullshit hidden box is worse design that every level having them. At least you know what you're getting into with IAT.
Insane how one of the few things the game did well is the most complained feature in /v/.

>>725625552
I felt really stupid when I realized his voice is just a normal voice and a higher pitched one stacked on it.
But then it was funny I could make funny N. Gin voice lines

>>725625845
What??

>>725622453 (OP)
The only thing this game filtered was 75% of the playerbase from N Sane Trilogy and CTR. Couldn't even break 1 million sales on release and had to be discounted only a month later.
>>725622717
>that doesnt fit in with the rest of the character design philosophy
None of the characters do. Pic related had it worse.
>>725625739
You are mentally retarded and Crash 4 deserved to flop. Cope.

>>725625996
I mean maybe I'm remembering it wrong, basically all you do is stack slightly pitch shifted slightly out of sync voice tracks, and boom, N. Gin voice
It's been a while

>>725622643
weird cope if you cant casually 100% a childrens game, smells like genetic defect imo

cry about it

>>725625191
There was a decent thread a few days ago about the influence of classic cartoons in Crash games >>725168832
But yeah most of these tend to die pretty quickly. What is there to say at this point that hasn't already been discussed? We need a new game already.

2 > 4 > 1 > 3

>>725627354
No

>>725626079
You always know it's over when they add a dyke.

>>725627354
I'd like to give my opinion but I haven't been able to finish 4 yet because of pic related, maybe one day.

>>725629467
WoC is not Crash 4

>>725630158
Yes it is dumbass

>>725622453 (OP)
Vicarious Visions got rekt for this.

>>725630319
Crash 4 is Crash 4.
Wrath of Cortex doesn't have 4 anywhere in the title at all.

Liam Robertson i.e. the guy who confirmed Crash 4 was a flop and that Crash 5 was killed one month after 4's launch says there are no Crash games or media on the horizon.

Crash sisters, I don't feel so good...

>>725630547
What? I feel great. Nobody to ruin or insert their woke politics in Crash anymore. Sometimes things are better left alone and should end gracefully. Unfortunately it wasn't much of a graceful end thanks to Toys For Bob tainting the franchise with the last two games, but real Crash fans don't recognize them as part of the franchise anyway.

>>725622545
More like artificial longevity and not understanding what made the other Crash games worth playing to completion.

>>725624114
The boxes are bullshit and require a walkthrough
toys for bob's placement made it so I could 100% boxes on Crash 1-3 without looking up any guides except for that one level in 3 where a long gem route in dinosaur land spits you out further down the level than where you left it
t. used a walkthrough after trying each level 5 times over missing 1 box each time

>>725631643
Sad to say, they are part of the franchise. Part of an era that you can ignore at least. Me hopes the next era (if there is one) does better than the current one.

>>725622453 (OP)
They're still crying to this day.
True gamer game.

>>725622545
No such thing.
/v/ is pathetic and filled with casuals, you people are just like DSP, shitting on games and never placing the blame on yourselves.

Being Crash Bandicoot™
2 > 1 > 3 > 4
Best controls
4 > 3 > 2 > 1
Best experience (completionist)
3 > 2 > 1 > 4

My view is slightly tainted by replaying them on an emulator because my PS2 doesn't have a savestate feature
But even with savestates, 4 will still give you carpal tunnel syndrome if you attempt a time trial

>>725631643

I wish Star Wars actually died on Disney's watch
Dingodile looked shit

>>725632270
Hmmm, I played this game a few years ago, it felt clunky but still fun, I beated it but I don't know if I would pay more than 30 dollars for a physical copy.

Crash 4 felt great to play and I had beaten the previous 3 many times so I welcomed the autism, wasn't that hard, though I prefer the first 3 games it's much better than the terrible remaster.

>>725632087
>crash on the run
I was about to say kart games used to be the slop genre and it says something that the temple run genre took off
... but we just got Sonic slop kart and Garfield slop kart

>>725632442
the hitboxes on spikes were the most jank. The platforming challenges was an abysmal experience. Everything else was just slower than your average adhd metroidvania. Still, atmosphere, themes, violence, combat, bosses, difficulty makes it worth it

>>725632409
>4 has the best controls
With that shitty slide jump? And those alternate characters? And that jet board? And that polar bear? I don't think so

>>725626449

>>725630319
That's the NTSC-J version of Crash WoC .

>>725622643
>And no, 100% runs is not "regular gameplay"
This is the exact problem with Crash 4. Crash games are collectathons, the fun is in collecting everything. Crash 4 is more of a pure platformer and the collectathon design was more like an afterthought.

>>725632409
Based

there are 5 invisible off screen crates in this thread that you missed

Ending on 4 and Rumble was way better than ending on this shit, I don't care what anyone says.
