I never knew back in 1997 that this was as good as platformers were ever going to get.

Try playing better platformers

Crash mogs...
>Mario
>Sonic
>Rayman
>DKC
>Tomba
>Kirby
>GnG
>Ape Escape
>Ducktales
>Mega Man
>Croc
>Gex
>Oddworld
>Spyro

I've tried them all, Crash is still the best by far (DKC was close)

>>11888857
nta but at most I would say Crash won gen 5

>>11888964
I'd say Mario 64, Spyro 1, and Crash 2 are all good candidates for best gen 5 platformer

warped is my favorite because it was my first platformer

warped > 1 > 2

>>11888857
Try Pandemonium.
Is great.

>>11888840 (OP)
your thread is idiotic.

*blocks your path*

>only the first game is any good
Many such cases.

>>11889245
>GBA version
Miss me with that shit.

>>11889239
why are nintendo fanboys like this?

>>11889386
why are you like this. why do you shit up the boards with such dumb annoying bullshit threads.

>stop discussing non-Nintendo games!!!!
kys

>what if we rotated a 2d platformer 90 degrees so you now cant see where youre jumping!
why didnt I think of that...

My first game ever was SMB1, then I got a Sonic 2 Genesis bundle for Christmas and became a huge Sonicfag(before the fandom got weird). I played the shit out of Crash 2 and 3 in the PS1 era also.

In retrospect the only one I can go back to and thoroughly enjoy out of the 3 franchises in their heyday is Crash.

>>11888840 (OP)
every mainstream 6th gen platformer is better than the PS1 crash games. i have no idea how anybody found this focus tested garbage endearing.

>>11889714
6th gen platformers are boring as fuck with very few exceptions

>>11889728
>6th gen platformers are boring as fuck
i would happily play wario world or blinx for 2 years straight than suffer through the PS1 crash games for a few weeks. the best thing crash ever produced was the first few levels of the first game, and it was all a steep downhill incline from there.

>>11889738
I have to disagree. Never played Blinx but find it weird how you mention Wario World of all things. To me it felt like the blandest shit ever, Kao the Kangaroo and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger type shit despite being made by Treasure under Ninty's supervision
>Tasmanian
That reminds me, I liked Taz Wanted more than Jak 1 and Sly 1 (never bothered playing past the first entries) which are supposed to be among the greatest PS2 games

>>11889694
You know, I should add playing and 100%ing SM64 and SA1 not too long ago was also great fun. Seems like side scrolling platformers are what no longer do it for me sadly considering it's what I started on.

>>11889431
You're the first guy to mention Nintendo, OP.

>>11888857
Crash is the top of Western franchises only
>I've tried them all
Congratulations then, you have no taste in video games whatsoever, or one of those "weird kids" who fixate on 1 game

>>11888857
hate to agree
but agree

>>11888857
Goemon is the best, or maybe best co-op platformer ever.

>>11888857
But you didn't try Klonoa, curious!

Jak 1 is better albeit

>>11889880
I love this smug sense of superiority from someone who cannot even name one game.

>>11891649
Jak 1 is a boring ass, slow-paced, baby difficulty collectathon. Couldn't stand that shit.

Jak II was an improvement across the board.

I think jak's moveset is kind of weak for pure platforming, the double jump is very bland and safe, the high jump is effectively a non move, might as well be a contextual action, the roll jump is so long and vertically shallow that it has pretty narrow utility.
the moveset as an assist for general action makes more sense.
