Why does /v/ accuse Crash Bandicoot as being a forced, pandering, outdated character? All those old ads and games hold up today and are still a fucking blast. Even dudebros who own a PS4 love him and have been requesting to see him again after 15+ years.
Face it: Crash is the coolest motherfucker in existence
you have to 18 or older to post here
>mfw Sony and Microsofts RADICAL characters are going to war
Might you be able to show me where /v/ says that?
I always hated Crash both as a character and as a game. In the era where the exploratory 3D platformer was king, Crash was just some regressive piece of shit where you ran down a hallway the entire game. Like all Naughty Dog games, it sold based solely on its impressive visuals. Spyro was infinitely better than any of the crash games, to say nothing of Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. Hell, I'd even take fucking Glover over Crash.

More like in an era full of boring collectathons, Crash was one of the only traditional platformers.
>>335957245
N64cucks
>>335959802
Nah, if you wanted a good traditional platformer you had stuff like Mischief Makers, Tomba or Klonoa, Crash was just a piece of shit with shiny graphics that was marketed as a "Mario Killer". Just like how a generation later Killzone was Sony's "Halo Killer".
>>335959968
So you didn't actually play Crash
>>335959802
Except Crash was a corridor collectathon.
>>335960057
You're the one who brought up traditional platformers idiot. Just because Crash doesn't take place in one plane like the three games I listed doesn't make it somehow more interesting than them. I played and hated Crash, it was just a boring technical showcase. There were far better options for platformers no matter whether you hated collectathons or not.
>>335959653
>Like all Naughty Dog games, it sold based solely on its impressive visuals
But Spyro looked way better than Crash visually
>>335960705
Considering Spyro sold really well too, that doesn't actually contradict anything I said.
>>335960847
Crash sold better, retard.
>>335960847
I wasn't saying it did.
>>335960987
Not him but that's not exactly doing anything to quash his argument.
>>335960987
yes, and...?
>>335961117
He doesn't have a fucking argument you autistic faggot. Learn how to read.
>>335957245
Crash? More like Belongs-in-the-TRASH.
But seriously folks, the games felt really sub-par compared to Mario and Banjo
This thread is getting autistic real fast.
>>335957245
Crash sucked. Naughty Dog can't make a game.
>>335960504
So, traditional platformer.
>>335957245
Because the advertisements made people booty blasted.
>>335961508
No, traditional platforms aren't collectathons.
Play SMB1 and then Crash then compare the two, that's your homework for today
It's not a Super Mario 64 clone, so it's shit.I'm a massive Mariofag, but 64fags have their heads so far up their own asses when it comes to SM64 or OoT it's disgusting.
>>335961740
/thread
Crash is the most normalfag vidya mascot ever.
>>335961758
SMB1: linear platformer with no mandatory collecting
Crash Bandicoot: linear platformer with no mandatory collecting (except gems for 100% - see also: Sonic series)
You may as well just type your real "argument" which is: MUH OPEN WORLDS ARE BETTER LINEAR IS DUMB
>>335962157
You get an F- for that poor display. Do your homework next time.
>>335962471
Lol, that's you best response? How cute. I can even go on to say that Crash Bandicoot has more freedom than SMB1 since it has no time limit, selectable levels, possible backtracking, etc. But obviously there's no point in using easily observable facts against people who don't like listening.
>>335961861
How? OoT and SM64 do shit that is still basically unsurpassed. They nailed how to move around in and interact with a full, non-linear 3D world.
>>335959653
Why would you hate crash as a character so much to the point of preferring glover? Is it because you hate the current naughty dog so you take it against crash?
>>335962827
What stuff did they do that is "unsurpassed"?
>>335962827
Case in point.
>>335962778
So basically, it doesn't play like a traditional platformer at all does it.
>>335963061
Crash is obnoxious, 90's "rad" bullshit through and through, Glover is inoffensive if bland as fuck.
>>335963165
If you don't consider Mario 3, Yoshi's Island, DKC, etc as traditional platformers, I guess not. Maybe those are "corridor collectathons" as well (whatever that is).
>>335963397
Not in the ND games.
>>335963082
Not that guy, but I think the only game that's surpassed Mario 64 for movement mechanics is Sunshine but Sunshine fucked up in so many other ways that its hard to say it surpasses Mario 64.
>>335963397
you know, if you actually played the games you'd realize that's not the case.
>>335963397
Care to give some examples of "rad" in Crash 1 or 2?
>>335963619
>>335963506
The games and the marketing are intertwined, you can't just act like you can ignore everything outside the game while playing them. If they existed in a vacuum then it would be fine (though I'd still hate the games as games) but they don't.
>>335957245
Crash has the best kart racer still to this day.
>>335963790
Okay, then Link is a faggot that goes Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me
Nathan Drake is the guy that eats subway
Donkey Kong sings songs and raps
>>335963915
Too bad the series is dead, even the GBA game was great.
>>335963991
Don't forget Pac-Man. Ugh, all that 80's rad merchandise and commercials ruined the game.
>>335963991
2/3 had their series created after their characters were established.
>>335959653
It's ok anon, show me where the naughty dog touched you :)
>>335964154
and? Their advertisement characters didn't match their game characters, because advertisement and in-game shit is usually split.
>>335964369
The problem there is that crash never had an established character he was always Sony's Sonic and never evolved beyond that.
He did, in the games.
>>335964601
Sonic never really had an established character either. If anything, judging from the recently discovered cut intros, Crash is more based on the 90's Warner Bros cartoons if anything.
>Crash gets brought up
>triggered N64cucks derail the thread
kek every time
Objectively Nintendo's weakest console
>>335964034
Yeah, it's sucks man.
>>335965021
Here's a comparison in case you're lost.
