"Crash 3 is when the series went down hill" Me: I'm going to pretend you didn't say that

I love Crash 3, it was my favorite one growing up. It is when the series started going downhill. If for no other reason than it couldn't match the peak that was 2

[@reborno-o4498]

I like Crash 3, but prefer 2 because of all the secrets. The third game tossed most secrets under time relics and death route paywalls.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

@Josue Ayala Crash 2 is basically just a slightly better Crash 1. It still has a lot of fundamental issues like inconsistent difficulty, repetitive design, terrible boss battles, clunky jumping (in the PS1 version) and some underwhelming gem challenges. It's still a Donkey Kong Country game with none of the qualities that made those games fun.

[@Sachi10007]

Agreed

[@sebastianaliandkulche]

@@josueayala1249 Crash 3 is much better designed and impressive for its time than Crash 2.

[@IkesDaddelbox]

The first 3 Crash games were specifically designed for the d-pad. The analog stick actually makes precise movement more difficult. Fun fact, Toys for Bob remembered that and designed Crash 4 with the same mentality.

[@Poop56566]

@championchap i hate the hitboxes

Going from the generous crash 4 jumps and air time to crash 1 jumps is a crash course in mobility torture.

[@TrueLucinova]

Just a note about Metroid Dread - it's a continuous story, so you might want to consider playing the previous 2D games first - the Prime games are cool too, but they're like an off-shoot story, so not necessary for playing the main series; I won't say you have to, but I know I'd certainly watch you play them (assuming you wanted to, at least)

[@FL4SHK]

I would kill to see Choc play the 2D Metroids, along with the Prime games.

[@johntrellston9514]

no the prime games come before the first game in the series I think and Fusion is at the end of the timeline

[@TrueLucinova]

@@johntrellston9514 The 2D games are in order of release, Dread takes place immediately after Fusion, and Prime is definitely after the first game; I want to say they come before II, but don't hold me to that. I can 100% say the Prime games are not first, even Samus' logs in the game confirm as much when she calls on past experiences. I'm fairly certain Zero Mission is also set before Prime

[@benjaminlee985]

The Prime series is set between 1 and 2, because after 2 the metroids are almost completely exterminated, making it hard to tell stories about the creatures the series is named for. (Later games ended up contriving a bunch of secret metroid cloning projects to keep them around.) Zero Mission is a remake of the first game.

[@TrueLucinova]

@@benjaminlee985 Ah, okay, so I was on the right track; didn't realize Zero Mission was a remake, that's interesting - I've never actually played the 2D games myself, but I might now that Dread is piquing my interest

I've heard Crash say "WOAH!" one too many times.

OG Crash 1 suspended bridge levels are actually easier. one can just walk past single tile gaps, the remaster is so much more precise.

[@videogamer678]

It also uses universal jump physics that were also used for the Crash 2 and 3 remakes in the same trilogy. The jump mechanics were similar to the OG Crash 3. OG Crash 1 had different jump physics. So as you said, the jumps in the remaster are more precise and difficult.

[@keshonhend2047]

In both versions you can just jump on the rope and bypass 100% of the challenge. Or just git gud and learn how to jump.

You know you can just stand on papu papu chair and wait for him to slam his staff and then jump on his head. Also you can walk on the rope in the bridge level and then in the level where you’re having to jump on the bounce box just to get up higher there’s a thing in the background where you can jump on it and fall off and then walk to the left and skip almost everything. Remember all of these from playing the older crash 1 game.
