So, Is Croc: Legend of the Gobbos a good game?

>> No.2290864

It's decent. Don't even think about the portable versions.

>> No.2290865

If you enjoy bland, vaguley amusing 90s 3D platformers then you'll have a blast.

Croc, Spyro, and Gex, the holy trinity of bland generic platformers.

2 was decent, I'll give you that, but a broken clock is still right twice a day.

This was always my opinion growing up. Maybe the games were better but the characters certainly seemed generic.

Nah, don't listen to them. It's a good game. try it first man. I'd say it's comparable to Crash Bandicoot and Spyro in my opinion. Not quite as good but comparable. Like same league.

>> No.2291552

>>2290840
it's cute and has some interesting levels/enemies but the controls are p shit which means more than you'd think
>>2290868
i guess the mechanics of gex and croc are generic but they still have a lot of creative ideas. wait a minute

Crash is a platformer in the same way subway surfers is a platformer

>> No.2291609

I agree controls are shit, but it's way better in analogue than digital.

I personally love croc and it can get pretty challenging if you're trying to 100%.

Croc 1 is so-so. Croc 2 is a brilliant game. Croc's original demonstration directly inspired Mario 64.

Great game but shit controls

it was a groundbreaking game but it's hardly worth playing now

Fuck no, I played it a lot as a kid so I can still enjoy it motly for nostalgia, but I don't see someone playing this for the first time now and enjoying it.

>> No.2291891

I had it on the Saturn.

This game ruined my childhood.

It's a pretty basic platformer. The most memorable thing about it is the music.

You didn't play a lot of PS1 games i assume

Awkward tank controls, bland level design and clunky camera. Croc 1 is a croc of shit.

I hate Croc's movement, especially with the precise platforming moments. But I can't help but like the game a little. The snow boss that multiplies was really difficult when I played as a kid.

Don't care if you're trolling, just putting it out there that Gex is amazing. I doubt there will be a character as cool as him again.

You should double check that, spyro isn't playable in the new skylanders anymore.

I think by bland he meant bland gameplay. Like an open area collection quest with very little actual challenge or platforming, which some people might think about those games, which Crash can't really apply to as it's linearity keeps the player constantly engaged. (Though I thought the Spyro games were great, though the first took a while to introduce some engagement and challenge. I haven't played croc or gex though)

Croc was pretty good, but Gex is fucking trash

>> No.2295302

wow, a lot of you kids who had problems with the controls clearly didn't play the pc version because I never had a problem with the controls on the PC version.

take your obvious flamebait back to >>>/v/ where it belongs.

>> No.2296631

Nah. The game was a generic 3D platformer with shit controls. That being said I loved the world and soundtrack for it. Croc really has some potential to be something great but he never got the great game he deserved which is sad.
