Can /v/ explain why this franchise is so beloved? The games were nothing more than simplistic platformers who weren't even that great at the time they came out.

What in your opnion was lacking to make it a "great" platformer?
It offered stellar gameplay, variety in levels and enemies, colourful characters, humor, variant and cool bossfights, secrets and collectables.
it was pretty cool also furries and/or newfags wanting to fit in
You're just upset because Ape Escape is for pedos.
>>340519527
> variety in enemies
nah
>>340519847
So OP like nigger dick in his ass, shocker

This. Plus it was one of the only Western platformers that got incredibly high praise in Japan during that time which was unprecedented.

It's fun

Are you underage? They were.
>>340519238
They all sold very well, and they're actually good games.
Warped had the best boss fights
also what's with the recent crashbashing?

Plus, great music and a very unique atmosphere.

same reason why people liked ratchet, jak and banjo
I love Crash Bandicoot but I have a huge problem with gamers asking for sequels to revitalize old dead IPs. The original team tends to move on from these projects (Uncharted). And the soul that originally existed for these games tends to be gone. Example: Mighty No9. This is why I think old IPs never get resurrected. Because the publisher has no idea how to approach it without the original team, so they're afraid they're gonna fuck it up. Which they tend to do.

So you must be against Yooka-Laylee

Not comparable. Crash has extremely simplistic controls, whereas no 3d platformer has topped the control depth of 64.
>>340521548
It has simple controls and a shitty camera.
You autsim glitches were never intended.
>>340520132
Super Mario 64 was the first fully 3D platformer ever, while Crash was a 2D platformer with 3D graphics.
DARN YOU CRASH BANDICOOT

Sour grapes for Mario 64 and nights into dreams

It was fun, Ape Escape> though

Except it constantly rehashes the same levels over and over again.

Are people THIS deluded?
I bet you also think that Doom was the first FPS
It's mediocre but it's the most similar thing to a mascot Sonyfags have.
Only a step above of Bubsy
>>340521912
Halo was the first fps, dumbass.

There were tons of really bad 3D platformers, Crash was one of the only ones that managed to do it right at that point in time. Gameplay felt really smooth compared to most other platformers.
Also it had a good amount of collectibles/unlockables, various different game modes, interesting/memorable characters, etc. It's actually a pretty solid franchise for the PS1 games at least.
>>340519238
Probably a ND shill trying to argue that TLoU was complex by virtue of saying their old games were simplistic.

>>340521701
Name a 3d platformer that has more depth in it's controls than 64.
>>340520606
I think it comes from /vr/.
>>340522373
Without your shitty autism glitches?
Bubsy 3D
>>340521015
lol it's not beloved, I love that game but nobody remembers it
>>340519238
It's not beloved.
Sleep tight dead franchise.
>>340522640
>it's not beloved, I love that game
You ok there m8?
>>340522710
>>340519238
Why is the /vr/ autist shitposting here now?
Why are you falseflagging to harm the Crash series?
>>340522640
I love it more than you
>>340522718
You know what I meant, I PERSONALLY love it but it's not beloved by the masses. It's a pretty niche game and only nostalgiafags remember it
>>340522373
Crash Bandicoot
>he can't make slide, spin, jump, spin, body slam jumps
shaking my head
>>340522615
So your opinnion of 64 is solely based on meme videos?
>>340522985
Probably because every board that splits from /v/ inevitably becomes shit.
>>340523035
Why?
>>340523140
We should have only one video game board.
>>340523140
>every board inevitably becomes shit
Fix'd
>>340523183
I own THIS!
>>340523198
I agree, the problem is that removing the rest means that all the bad has to come back as well, and since leaving the bad has become refined awfulness.
>>340523287
Well that's a given, but boards born from splits refuse to admit it.
>>340523361
Nice!
>>340522640
Played through it again recently. The camera is pretty fucking shit.
The references are quite odd as well. Did they really think kids would know about Oliver Reed's alcoholism?
>>340523361
Dude that's really cool. Where did you get it?
>>340523361
Holy crap, you truly love Gex.I love it too.
>>340523539
Paid $250 for it via ebay
>>340523361
It's tail time!

OOGA-BOOGAH!

>Why is a good game loved
I dont know,you tell me
>ib4 >good
>>340522147
That's what I call a wrecking.
It's really obvious that most crash bashing ( lel) is for reasons other than the game itself. If you go to /Vr/ the platform wars is worse than here. Any board dedicated to a topic tends to kill it with the force of sheer pretension alone. That's why off topic threads are always the best

So, you weren't even born when they came out? They were the pinnacle when they came out.

Nostalgia and poor kids who couldn't afford a N64 with Mario 64
Here are retro reviews of Crash Bandicoot and Mario 64 by Computer and Video Games Magazine.
They were pretty good in a generation filled with fucking awful attempts at 3D.
>>340521735
I would really prefer if you'd be quiet.
>>340525030
Just because reviewers today are retarded doesn't mean they weren't retarded 20 years ago.
>>340526105
Can you point out what exactly was wrong in those reviews?
>>340526290
Yes.
>>340526474
Well?
>>340526290
Probably the part where you used someone else's opinions from 20 years ago to try and prove that Mario was better.
THE CHECK BOUNCED? ARE YOU SURE?
>>340526542
Where did I claim Mario was better?
>>340526614
Don't you try and escape your implications, especially with those reviews being so one sided.
>>340521548
The simple controls work well on Crash because it's based on making it through an obstacle race, whereas more moves are needed for 64 because it's based on exploring the 3d environment.
UKA UKA IT'S NOT OUR FAULT, THAT WRETCHED BANDICOOT IS TO BLAME!
