>I completed it as a child. I would expect a grown ass adult like you to be able to complete it too
I don't know why this is such a thing. The two things required for beating most games is patience, and motor functions. You might think adults have more patience, but not generally for time wasting activities like games, for that it's children who have all the time in the world and without a care for it. As for motor functions, I don't really know any scientific bullshit about that but I don't think they really get any better from adolescence to adulthood, probably go away with elderly age, like into your 60s-70s

Games back then were designed to waste your time even more than today. They couldn't include as much content so they would just make it really hard so it took forever. I wanted to see what they game had to offer without wasting my time. It was fun! Really hard even with save states, because its not like you can save in the middle of difficult sequences.

Yeah, right. Go ahead and buy another "time saver" zoomie. This is the dumbest statement I've read all morning. At least games back then were actually designed to be games, not casinos

[Anonymous No.10305185]

Not everyone is built for platformers, some just inherently don't get the genre, suck at it and get quickly frustrated at the game. Most of my friends were like that except one guy had a slightly autistic younger brother who was always fun to play with cuz he never quit and put on a good challenge.

I am one of these, subsequently Crash 1 is the only platformer that's really stayed me because it's one of those titles that really engrossed me with its simplicity. Otherwise, platformers bore me pretty quickly.

[Anonymous No.10305254]

I truly do not understand the hate for Crash 1. Its always been my favourite and I never ever thought it was that difficult. The only real criticisms of it are the fairly obtuse secret gems and save systems, also the degree of input lag even on real hardware.

Such a wonderful, well crafted, challenging and soulful game otherwise. Whats the deal? Is it just the N Sane Trilogy version STILL poisoning people's minds?

Old games only "waste" 30 minutes of your time if you suck. Modern games waste tens of hours of your time every single playthrough no matter what.

[Anonymous No.10305272]

>>10305265
modern games also have a significant chance of being literally endless, in that you can never complete them, and many of those are dictated by time and money, not skill. and most of the content is filler.

Lots of games have fake challenge, Crash 1 is a genuine challenge. The consistency required for getting all boxes on even middle of the game levels is significant and when you finally nail it, extremely satisfying. Other games with "challenge" ask you to do a single hard thing for a few seconds, Crash asks you to walk along the edge for several minutes.

Here's what I mean by wasting my time. There will be one difficult section in a level. You lose all your lives to that one section. Instead of sending you back to the beginning of the level, it sends you 3 levels back. Those other levels arent hard, it's just a waste of time plain and simple.

[Anonymous No.10306081]

>>10305254
The save system is what makes it a bitch. If it was like Celeste or super meat boy it would be fine, let me get through that part with as many tries as I need. But no, die 10 times on a particular part of a level and it makes you spend 20 minutes getting back to that part of the level to try again. Waste of time.

[Anonymous No.10306083]

>>10305258
I don't want to waste a bunch of time replying levels because the devs are too retarded to have a normal save system

[Anonymous No.10306308]

Is this how we make threads here now to discuss games?

Fine.

The game can be chalanging at first but once you get used to the bullshit perspective of "sonics ass" its smooth sailing.

I pick it up regularly and finish it collecting every gem. My favorite of the trilogy despite lacking the improved controls.

> did you know that you can actually walk onto background in one level if you find that one spot in the fence which you can't see properly because PSX lol

inb4 it adds to the challenge, make you memorize the game instead of just pressing jump button yada yada. The entire game is memorizing, ingraining every timing and input into your mind as hard as you can, spiced up with pixel hunting.
It's obnoxious and nothing groundbreaking even for the time of release. Sonyfags didn't have their funny mascot animal like Segachads and Nintengods had so they've coped really hard on that bone that was thrown to them

lel now this guy crashes. by the time you get to the end levels you get fucking desperate for a save. and the game saves don’t actually save the number of lives you have! so it’s pretty hard playing it casually when you load up

[Anonymous No.10307557]

>>10302794
The only issue is the save system if you could save after any level after 2/3 it would be fine. My childhood 100% file stops at The Lab despite having the gem for it so if I need to beat that if I ever want to play The Great Hall or the Cortex boss, not sure if that a standard thing.

[Anonymous No.10307561]

>>10307296
As a kid, I had no chance at all on the Brio or Cortex bonus rounds. I tried them all (except for the Cortex one where you needed to not blow up one of the tokens with the snake and TNT which I never figured out) but I don't think I ever made it through one

that's interesting. I specifically remember that all levels including cortex were left open for me after I saved when getting the final gem. If you have 100%, it should save with all levels open.

[Anonymous No.10308565]

>>10307870
or maybe you had to do something extra like take the great hall ending, but I definitely know that it's possible to have open a 100% save without needing to replay the lab

It's the simplest of the trilogy to 100% when you realize that most of the challenge is a matter of patience and timing, as long as you wait, plan things out and avoid rushing, you're covered for most of the adventure here.

I suck at videogames and was able to 100% it, although it was the trilogy remake on Xbox One so I don’t know if they made it easier on there but I know the platform it was more difficult. Something about the feet size being different compared to the original PSX version.

[Anonymous No.10312438]

>>10310626
100% There will be a specific spot that is fairly difficult, taking a dozen tries. In a game like super meat boy they let you just try over and over very quickly and the challenge is fun. In crash it is a pain in the ass and waste of time because they send you 3 levels back.

I'm probably in the minority here... but Crash 1 is my favorite of the trilogy, and the whole series I suppose, because of its difficulty, but by that I'm not saying that I love it because it's harder, I love it with how it does it's difficulty... you see, it's not tough to make something challenging, but if you want it to be fun too, that's the tough part... and they nailed it here. I mean, most of the difficulty in Crash 1 is timing based platforming, and some memorization of patterns and hazards, so if you manage to keep calm, be patient, observe and in the meantime also plan out how you'll take on a challenge that's ahead... you're likely to get by it just fine. Of course you could make a mistake on a quicker section, that's why not being allowed to die is tough, but it never feels unfair... I love this.

only ones I remember is the first level and the one near the end of cortex power. the first is tough, but you can cheese it with aku aku. the cortex power one is easier because of the overhead view. There's also one in castle machinery that you have to be very careful with, but it's not so bad because of the side view. The bonus rounds are full of them, but they don't count for box completion.

[Anonymous No.10317068]
