Went to check and saw that I'd need to pay more to get the key (I pre-purchased the bundle). I'll pass.

Yeah, pay 10$ more. Preordering the bundle wasn't enough apparently.
Also I doubt I'll take Crash Remake on PS4, I still own the original trilogy and I completed those games a lot of time, maybe when the collection drops to 20€ I'll take it.

So many people excited for the new Crash remasters.

Seriously how can you remind all them people that the Crash games were overrated trash back in the day? Boring ass platformers. Nothing special about those games at all.

This just in, Oskar is actually secretly Shovel Knight. He grew tired of being a support character and decided to star in his own game instead and went back in time to do so. We never see under Shovel Knight's helmet you know.

Follow the money.💵💵

I knew that Shovel Knight renaming rang a bell.

Umh no, Crash 1 wasn't great, but 2 and 3 were very good.

I'm with you, they aren't good games. I can bet that a lot of people who haven't played them in a decade will play this remaster and realize how poorly they hold up.

Did you drop a $13+ coin on the bundle?
And speaking of coins, that negative coin is annoying.

I dropped a $18 coin on it or whatever it was, it was my only one left
 
Yeah I think the Endless Space 2 being 75% off has to be a pricing error with it still being in early access. Hasn't been on sale before, or not anywhere near that low if it has that I recall.

Bought so fast.

I'm trying to look at the Endless Legend DLC on my phone because I'm at work at it's annoying to figure out what is worth it. Should I just buy all of them? Don't recall seeing any discounted this well before and I know I'll enjoy the game when I finally crack it open :p

I think Tempest is the only one that hasn't hit 75% off until today.

Agreed.
Even back when they originally came out I didn't know anyone who liked them, so it's been quite baffling to see all the love Crash gets on the internets as a whole.

I'm not going to touch it, but I'm extremely curious to see how the remaster is going to be received.

Ah maybe I just haven't been following them much, could have sworn the ones on my WL hadn't hit that low. I'll probably wait until closer to the end and see what this Challenge thingy they're doing awards, if anything, too.

To be honest, they're all for the most part worth it, especially on sale. Given that no more official major DLCs will be released for EL (probably just smaller balance/fix patches), I'd say just get them all to have a "complete" game.

There's 4 major DLCs you should get: Guardians adds demi-hero units, Shadows, Tempest and Shifters all add another major faction.
The rest is smaller content but by no means worthless.
So, just buy them all.

Complete opposite for me, we used to have people gathering solely to play Crash time-attack etc. and I currently don't know anyone that doesn't plan to buy the remaster.

I think they're good games, the level design isn't great in all levels though, I hate tiger riding sections for example, but I do think they will hold up quite well even today.
 
Anybody knows what the white "(1)" is next to one of my Steam contact's name in chat?

I might be wrong but I think this happens when you meet someone with the same name in an online game. Doesn't have to be in your friends list. Try checking the Players list under the View tab on the Steam client.

I was actually able to take advantage of a price mistake for once :D Squeezed my Endless Space 2 purchase right before the mistake was fixed.

Kinda the impression I was getting. Will do. Thanks!

Disliking Crash is being salty now?

That makes no sense.

I'm not been talking about you specifically but there's a difference between disliking a game and telling/hoping for other people not to like a game

And i'm also talking about all the platform warrioring it has started since its announcement because it isn't exclusive

Is this a new release in China or something? Cuz unless I missed a pricing error, something that negatively received making it to the top is weird.

I think you've confused Crash with Sonic.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You guys are missing a cruical point regarding Crash:

My parents bought me a PlayStation when I was a child.

Nope. I could not find an homonym. However, I think I met such a player in Gremlins Inc., which would not be listed there. Hmmm... Strange.

Edit: That has to be it though.

I did like Crash Team Racing though.
Sony should probably try and buy Crash from Acti and make that their mascot kart racer series.

I suppose I haven't seen those posts.



Now that I think about it, I don't know that I've often seen people thinking Crash is "okay". It's either really good or really bad, nothing in between.

Ratchet and Clank is obviously the best platformer

The first PS2 game can be seen as a platformer, but from 2 onwards they gradually became Third Person Shooters. R&C '16 is a 3rd person shooter with minimal platforming elements.
Jak 1 is more of an adventure platformer.

they added Guacamelee Gold Edition to the freedom bundle... err... instead of restocking keys for super turbo CE for whatever reason o_O

edit: wait, super turbo isnt even out of stock lol.

Kind of a weird addition, the STCE is the best version of the game, not really any reason to have the gold version as well unless you're a collector.

EDIT: They added Hand of Fate to the bundle as well.

I'm happy I got the ES2 pricing error, but I'm saving my copy in case someone I know who is far more into strategy games than me decides he wants it.
