Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy: 6.0 on GS.

That's a rather weird statement given Mario :S

I'm sure GS will now adjust it to the "appropriate" score

I'll buy it and most likely enjoy my time with it but they really should have done Crash Team Racing instead.

@drlostrib: It has an 80 on metacritic so GS can once again find their own score being a joke.

If you start changing levels it won't be the same game anymore. The game is a nostalgia trip, don't taint it for these millennials.

I'm going to guess that the GS score holds more weight on MC than a lot of those other scores.

But it would be pretty pointless if every score was the same.

Funny how GS are a joke when it's a game on the PS4. Where are you when a MS, Nintendo or PC game gets a lower score from Gamespot when compared to the whole of Metashitic???

selective memory

Didn't we go through this with games like Quantum Break? I could swear that we did.

In other news, I have no interest. I enjoyed Crash 1 when I was a kid, but I couldn't go back to it, even if they updated the actual mechanics to perform on par with the best platformers of today. It's just not up my alley anymore.

Funny you say that when they score Xbox games in the 6 or 7 range, but they are 80+ on metacritic. Seems I remember you calling those games flops and sucky ass games. The entire reason fanboys SUCK!

Man these Crash games are even more fun and challenging than I remember. I really have no idea how anybody can rate these games lower than a 7 (considering the modern review scale of 7 being good and anything below = trash).

@drlostrib:

Got the game! Oddly enough, I love it for the exact reasons why the GS reviewer gave it a low 6. It is the same Crash as before in every way. Anyone getting this would have to have been sleeping under a rock to not know what they're in for and it's old-school platforming on a 3D plain. By all accounts, Mario's old 2D and 64 games should be deemed unplayable if we're going with the reviewer's logic. Simplistic level design yet difficult to scale at certain points. You could easily breeze through the 1st 3 worlds in Super Mario Brothers 3 as you could with Crash 2's 1st 3 warp rooms.

I can't help but feel like there was an extreme bias put in place here. Overall, I got no regrets and thankfully, reviews are mainly positive elsewhere. You wanna blame the N Sane Trilogy for being too outdated then you're basically blaming it for being itself.

Great, other people have a different opinion than me. But hey, if you think logical fallacies help you win arguments, then go ahead, use them. You are trying really hard to justify the existence of a $40 remaster of games that, at the time, didn't really compare well to other platformers in terms of quality. Even Spyro mopped the floor with Crash. And that's a PlayStation staple.

I played bits of Crash 1 back in the day, but I always thought it was crap compared to actually decent platformers of the time (Donkey Kong Country 2, Mario 64, etc).

So...as someone who has no nostalgia for the game...should I even bother with this trilogy?

Spyro. The reason I never had interest in Crash.

Peter can have his opinion. I knew what I was getting and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

You know what, I'm starting to agree with this review. These games feel very dated. I honestly don't know how I had the patience to complete these games when I was younger and I do somewhat still enjoy them now but it's just a constant stream of wasting the players time. Death after death after death after death. Like some of the platforming and jumps in this game have to be done with pin point accuracy. An then they've added impossibly hard speed run time trials that require that you learn the level to it's every minor detail. I generally like 100%ing games but this just not something I want to put with. Life is too precious to be dedicating your hours of your life to learning a level inside out in a crash bandicoot game. I guess I really did just buy this game out of pure nostalgia hoping to relive the glory days but it just hasn't dated well lol. I mean I could go back to something like FF7 and love the shit out of it but Crash Bandicoot nah lol.
