Current Events > I'm close to giving up on Crash 1

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just not fun, kind of unfair with how precise you have to be. The depth perception is really hard to discern.

Its always been a frustrating game...just play the other 2 and come back to it..

The original version of it was hard enough. These problems the remake has are bullshit. I'll just stick to the originals.

I'm almost done with the first island/area thing.

The jumps are pretty tricky. I kept falling in.

Also I somehow miss like 10 boxes despite scouring the levels, guessing new paths open up later? Pretty sure I only played Crash Warped and CTR as a kid.

Bro I'm shit at video games, especially platformers, and I'm at 99% on Crash 1. Just gotta get the Relics.

If I can do it, anyone can.

Don't give up. Don't ever give up.

Have you never played before? Eventually you hit a point where playing the game is second nature

There's no way I'm going to be able to get the gems.

A level takes me a long ass time, and I usually play it at night when I'm not completely awake. Trying to get the green gym and I keep on dying before the fist bonus level. Some of those jumps where you have to bounce off an an enemy and then onto the moving walls is hard as hell.

What level are you stuck on?

A lot of the levels have secret paths that are either unlocked by;
- Finding the correct colored gem in a different level
- Collecting 3 Brio/Cortex tokens and not dying

Hog Wild....that last jump over the rotating pig before the end...i swear i had like 5 Game overs on that jump alone. always landed on the same spot, always just BARELY missed it....the precision for some of the jumps in the first game is incredibly frustrating.

Oh I see.

Is there any way to tell if I need to not die or have a colored gem? Doubt I've done any level without dying.

That Hog Run or Hog Wild one I died like 20 times easily

yup, when i was a kid

It's on the first island, but that one wall level that has you jumping 3 fire platforms consecutively can go fuck off for real.

the only ones you can't die on are the ones that GIVE you the colored gems.

They fucked it up in the remaster for sure

If you collect a Brio/Cortex token that'll require a no death run. You unlock a bonus stage later on by doing this. But I think there are also some levels that simply require a no death run too. In which case you'll be told at the end "Perfect...but you died!". I think these might be told in the loading screen?

When it comes to gem paths you'll see a platform with a white outline. That means you haven't got the right gem yet.

They're not really that similar outside of being in the same genre.

Not just that. Rare is more talented than Naughty Dog.

Y'all are terrible at games. It's not that hard. I feel like this complaining about the game is just a bandwagon thing. Yes, there are a few hard levels like 2. But after like 30 minutes I accomplished them. Simple.

Cool thanks guys

There were some frustrating parts but it wasn't that hard.

It's not that it's hard, it's just kinda unfair. The jumps are too precise and you can't see due to the bad depth perception. I've played hard games that are fine

Tbh it's only an issue in a couple of levels (that last stretch in Native Fortress and The High Road). Rely on your shadow to know when to stop.

100%ing that game as a kid was so fucking rewarding. took three of us weeks to find everything (and then actually do it)
