I didn't buy it because of bad character design

we aint never ducking beef
bitch we not vegan
my lil niggas bout that action
they be glock squeezin

It's not difficult though. It's very forgiving.

Difficulty is a good thing.

If the game with infinite lifes is still too hard for you, then I recommend to git gud. You can do it user! I managed to beat the original trilogy when I was 7.

imagine not playing Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time because the characters don't look perfect

It's not as hard as Crash 1 but it is hard.

I like it though, the challenge is pretty direct - you fuck up a jump or mistime something and you're fucked. But even if you're playing classic mode you get plenty of lives.

Didn't everyone shit themselves in glee over N Sane being "the dark souls of platformers"?

Mario 64 is shit.

Not at all holy shit. Even if your somehow struggling with it all you have to do is stand at the back of the conveyor because it cant actually push you off

because it's better
nobody wants to listen to that accent

It's recommended so you don't notice they didn't actually balance around limited lives

how the fuck do people manage to get filtered by a kids game with infinite lives, the absolute state of modern g*mers

it flopped because the people who bought NST weren't Crash fans, they're bandwagon normies who only ever cared about muh nostalgia

Oh bless you user. Just found them.
That's so counterintuitive. Even without taking into account the breaking of the 2D plane you'd assume jumping into a pool you can't really see would just kill you, not hide extra boxes within.

Doing good in bongland and most people get digital anyway. We don't have numbers but it's safe to say with all the good word of mouth it's gonna get a sequel

Tawna can sit on my face anyday

Good, maybe they'll stop milking the discount mario nostalgia platformers.

Terrible example. The graphic in those games are bad but weren't for their time.
Marios Iconic design has always been consistent and great. They've never allowed a company like Toys for Bob to fuck with it and make some unfaithful monstrosity.

Speak for yourself. Bronx Brio was Kino.

Ah yes, the classic

Its not a hard game, you just suck.

>games has a normal difficulty
>THIS FUCKING GAMES FOR CASUALS
>games is challenging
>THIS FUCKING GAME IS TOO HARD
There's no pleasing you people

Recommended because the games built around it

If they signaled that you could move toward the camera there and otherwise left it the same (Maybe putting an out of place smudge of land, even if you still couldn't see boxes till you got into the water) it would be fine because you could argue once you get to the first checkpoint you thus know that water is save.

Tbf it goes sicko mode at Cortex Island

This. I hate the art direction and every trailer and bit of info that came out only solidified that it wasn't going to be good. Then I saw all the endings and knew not buying it was the right choice.

I'm not angry about the hidden boxes, it's even fun in its own way. It's just that they can be absurdly hidden sometimes.
Once I got used to the awkward double jump momentum and no slide jumping the game is a good time.

Though something I really don't get are the Wumpa gems. At first I assumed that clear gems would become a currency for a skin store, but no, they only give you the skins if you get every gem in the level anyway and if you're hunting for all the boxes the wumpas are so generous you will naturally get the three gems.
It just feels like very blatant padding.

The only good 3d Mario is odyssey. M64 has shitty controls and the entire game plays like it's ice level.

It's not hard. It just wastes players time with poorly communicated design that results in them going through the same level 5 times trying to find something most likely obscured by the camera or walls and when they find it, it's not satisfying or engaging.

How has it bombed?

AAHHHH THE FRENCHgh.....

I actually managed to get all the boxes in Booty Calls without actually getting the 80% gem because I skipped one of the big Wumpa Fruit boxes in the Bonus (Because it was sandwiched between TNT and Nitro) and spun out all the 5-fruit boxes

Please reconsider your terrible taste. This is the most soulful addition to the Crash series since 3.

>bombs

Source on this?

Tawna just had an excruciating manic pixie dreamgirl meets tough no-nonsense Mary Sue personality.

>People are bitching they need to pay attention to detail in the game to find hidden boxes

Fucks sake. Is this the games journo Slack channel?

>soulful
Sorry, I don't take advice from retarded children.

>It just feels like very blatant padding.
It is. The only purpose is to give wumpas a value in modern mode when they don't give you lives. They should give you free mask for every 100 wumpas in modern mode.

I get where you're coming from, but I'd argue that you can make the game harder exactly because there's never any concern for a game over. Back when lives were still a thing, they had to balance difficulty around the notion that you could get a game over and potentially have to restart whole levels or games over again. Without lives, they can make the game as hard as they want, since you can just constantly retry from the checkpoint until you git gud.

Aside from the first game which mostly just had unfair design, Crash has never really been about difficulty.

>Make players beat each level 2-3 times minimum + Time Trial for 100%
So it's just like the original games?

I wish the game had a Crash 2-3 warp room instead of the dimension map. Specially Crash 2's was super comfy to lounge around in

Crash is a pretty dumb platform game, no wonder they have to come up with artificial difficulty to give something more to it.

serves them right for ignoring PC

>can't even consistently pull off the triple spin

Huh? The only levels you had to do more than once were ones with Gem Paths/Secret Paths in them

>They should give you free mask
so I can immediately get hit on purpose to get rid of the annoying as fuck spinning cunt? the designers of this game are so stupid they should be tortured.
