Current Events > I have lost 15 lives to one level in Crash 1

(+) Yeah! (+)

This fucking bridge level Road to Nowhere. What sick sadist made this? It's just cruel
---

If it makes you feel better, it gets worse
---

Use this to harden yourself for what's coming.
---

Stay away from the DLC level then.

Edit: Assuming you're playing N.Sane Trilogy.

I lost 50 lives during my first run of luigi's purple coins in super mario galaxy...

There's DLC for the new Crash?

Stormy ascent.
It's free.

What till you get to the High Road, and try to get a platinum relic on it. Good lord.

For a limited time. So I recommend getting it as soon as possible.

Only 15?

Lend me your strength CE

I've reached the other bridge level

i cant figure why they want the platinum relic :(. only need gold for achievement

unless i'm missing something that isn't the completionist.

I can't get past the first jump in this goddamn level
---

I've seen so many posts about these goddamn levels. Like, are they actually harder in this remake or are people just playing them for the first time ever or in a long time? Because yeah I do remember the bridge levels being hard but I was still able to complete them without losing an insane amount of lives.
---

Yep. There's another level like that further on. I lost at least 50 lives on that one. The game pity masks feel like an insult since they don't help you at all.

Physics and hit boxes have changed. It really feels random wether you'll make a jump or not, or wether you're gonna stick to the rope or not.

Sunset Vista is worse.

Some levels are just stupid hard in the first game

Fuck the final stretch of this level.

The physics do make it harder but honestly it's a bit overblown. Chewing through lives is part of the game at times.

They are, but not in the fun way. It's why Crash 2 and 3 are considered way better games despite being way easier. Mostly due to saving reasons. Did they keep that password bullshit in the remakes?

Yeah especially the first one. But even the original had kinda crap physics. Like many portions were essentially 2D platformer segments but if you tilted the stick a little too much towards or away from the screen you still wouldn't make the jump because of screwed up depth perception. I mean it was a thing back then, can't imagine it's that much worse in the remake right?
---

I see so many people defending the game's shortcomings with "it was always like that in the original". That's irrelevant. This is a remake. If something doesn't work you FIX it.

I haven't played the remake. It's why I'm asking questions, not defending anything. >_>

I beat the level by cheating, oh yeah!

I jumped on the rope to get past the super hard parts. Didn't always work but it saved me from the stupid parts.

Not directed at you, just pointing something out.

There's nothing to "fix" level design wise. This is how Crash 1 is. The game isn't buggy. Some physics have changed but literally no-one except enthusiasts will actually be troubled by that

It's more that it's not generous with landing on platforms I think. Like if you just touch the edge of the platform you'll probably fall when you'd be okay in the original.

For fucks sake Slippery Climb is actually harder. Fuck
---

The hardest thing about slippery climb is that long run to the first checkpoint. Once you're there it's not that bad.

Once you learn the obstacles and timing it's a fun level.
---

Fun.... not the word I'd use
---

I personally didn't find slippery climb that hard, just take your time with it, don't rush your jumps.

This. The game is running the same fucking engine for all three games when they were originally built to run on different engines. Because of that you have issues like in this topic because they didn't want to actually spend the time and effort necessary to make this game run like it's supposed to.

It's a lazy half assed cash grab with a pretty new coat of paint.

That's quite the idiotic shitpost sir. Please try again later

Yeah....Except the fact the game is using the wrong fucking engine. I'm sure all the complaints about it online are totally just salty Xbox fanboys or something

I don;t think it's a lazy half assed cash grab. I think it's well done imo, but I think there should have been maybe a bit more balance between the level design and the physics. If they wanted to normalize the physics across all three games, it might have made sense to do some minor level design tweaks then to make it not so punishing.

I did get through all the tough stuff and only need a few more relics to get the plat trophy, but damn it was one of the harder achievements I will ever obtain.

What an intelligent and well thought out counterpoint! I truly expected nothing less (or more) from someone so intelligent as yourself.

It's partly that they're hard, and also that hitboxes are changed so it's harder to make precise jumps across thin platforms.

When the bar is set so low by your ignorant posts, I have to do my best to match your half witted attempts at shitposting

The High Road is ass, but apparently the DLC level is even worse. Have it downloaded but yet to try it, will do so pretty soon. Kinda worries me though cause I lost probably 30 lives on The High Road, mainly though just from that damn turtle section lol
