Crash Bandicoot Honest trailer

^ Why does anyone take anything seriously? Because they have nothing better to do
But you do have to admit saying something to the effect of 'Crash was never good and only tolerated by Playstation fanboys who were jealous of Super Mario 64' is pretty baitey don't you think? I mean....surely we agree right?
They could have made any number of other "sick but true" burns like how Crash was sold off to Activision and went through years of nonsense while Nintendo, the company crash callled out in the commercials has a brand new game coming out this year that is one of the most anticipated games of the decade.
Instead they went with talking about the trilogy's quality as if it were not subjective and judging it purely on Mario 64's different gameplay

I'm talking about what has been said in this thread, most of which was "I thought they were okay, even when compared to other linear platformers." That isn't hate.
And things got heated when both said s started jumping at each other, I'm not sure who pulled the trigger first, and I don't care, but "SM64 is garbage" has also been in this thread. And I am really RAELLY sick of the misuse of the word revisionism. Pieces of art get reevaluated all the damn time, "Gone With the Wind" is in a lot lower standing today then it was when it came out, that is denying it critical and commercial success when it came out, its not acting as if those original views are some sort of binding contract for all time.

It's fine if you didn't care for Super Mario 3D World, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you what your opinions should be; but to call the game "Piss Pants Poor" is just objectively incorrect.
Too bad that's not at all what the average user is saying in these threads, cos then i'd be inclined to agree
hell no it wasn't, 3D World is like a crash course of level design
especially in a thread about Crash you'd think people would put some respeck on 3D World's name
Things turned nasty as people got pissed at the original "they're okay" sentiment. But you know what I'll go one higher, saying "I think X is a bad game" is ALSO not hate, its an opinion.
Do yourself a favor, never check Death Battle threads.
This isn't about people having an opinion, this is about how people go around stating it which as plagued literally all freakin CB threads here since the announcement of the remake
If people were just to say that they didn't liked the game it would be an entirely different thing than if they were to dismiss everyone elses opinion as stupid nostalgia, sonyponying or 2poor4n64 memes

Mario 64 has arguably aged worse than Crash 2 when it comes to graphics, camera and overall artstyle/design.
I have a hard time thinking of stuff that has aged poorly in Crash 2. Crash 1 has the abysmal save system and more clunky control/animation and Crash 3 has some awkward gimmick stages but Crash 2 is just as solid as they come.
But not to be too Sony Pony here, Crash 2 has aged better than 90%+ of PSX library.

Lol Banjo hasnt aged well at all now that game is a relic of the past.

This is such insane nonsense that I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but
Mario's brand was never in need of "healing."
3D World was highly acclaimed and is up there as one of the best platformers ever made. NSMBU and NSLU are in the top 5 of best sidescrolling platformers ever made.
Meanwhile Mario Run was downloaded over 50 million times in its first week of release, Mario was essentially the cultural representative of the entire country of Japan at the Olympics, and is the primary basis of lands they're building at theme parks.

i'm sure that added a good 8 copies to its total.

I was trying to encompass all the criticisms in one post, but I see I failed. Forgot to say that 30fps is unplayable and it should be 60fps on Switch. Or Xbox One X.
What a well thought out post.

Seemed pretty par for the course for their videos to me. Their entire gimmick are listing off petty insults for games people love.

in all honestness, how many copies do you think it took to be in the top 5 classic chart in any given month?
Saying it sold like 8 copies implies it did horrible, I'm sure it did at least 100k in all those years and I'm lowballing here.

it didn't do horrible, i'm sure it did very well but the poster was alluding that it made a difference in the grander scheme of things, which it didnt.
We don't know, you're as much guessing as he is, plus saying it sold 8 copies is pretty much implying it did horrible
. He could be right but so could you. We dont have any numbers.Napalm_Frank

Well we know the original Crash passed 500.000 back in 2013 in Pal regions alone so it's probably around a million copies for each of the Crash games when combining all regions.
That's a fine opinion, which you are entitled to. But you're in the minority. It's a critically acclaimed game.
Easily one of the best games this gen.

Let's just agree that Klonoa is the best platformer of the gen and call it a day.
I wouldn't be surprised that same people get upset at Conan's Clueless Gamer videos. I love games too, but some people are way too attached to their favorite games. It blinds them completely and they can't see what is humour and what is actual critique. Though even in the cases of actual critique there can be even bigger overreactions. It's baffling.

I cannot agree, because I think at the very least:
- Super Mario 64
- Banjo-Kazooie
- Banjo-Tooie
- Conkers BFD
- Rayman 2
- Crash 2
- Crash 1
are better.

Please, Tooie, Crash 1 and conker aren't better than Klonoa.
Yep, the only ones better than Klonoa are Crash 2 and MAYBE Rayman 1, and MAAAAYBE Rayman 2 if you only consider the DC version and not the inferior N64/PS1 versions, but at that point you'd no longer be in the same generation anyway. Conker and Banjo aren't even platformers in the first place, and even Super Mario 64 is difficult to consider as the same genre since its platforming is so trivial outside of the Bowser stages.

No Tomba and Jumping Flash? The JF series is really the most underrated platformer series I can think of. It's a 3D platformer that not only existed before Mario 64, but it's also in first person. Yet even back then they got it right. I hope that it's one of Sony's remaster projects as I think it'd shock people to see just how well it holds up. It's a FP game from 95 where you can actually see your feet when you look down.

This trailer reminded me just how bad these games were.
Def gonna pass on the remake.

Trash compared to Rayman? Maybe 2 was a league ahead but the rest of the series wishes it could reach Crash's jorts.

Don't make me choose between Crash 1 and Rayman 1.
Dark Souls of 3D and 2D platformers respectively.
Conan's Clueless gamer videos offend me because they were once legitimately funny and then the format got ruined by the focus on celebrity appearances.

What does this even mean?
Anyway I got a smol chuckle out of this video. Never was a big fan of Crash although I only really played Warped/3 at kiosks back in the day since my parents only bought me Nintendo consoles back then.
