Let's Play Crash Bandicoot - Late to the Party

[@eurogamer]

Crash or Spyro for lamest mascot ever? FIIIIIIIGHT!

[@JRVanguard]

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage is the greatest game of all time!

[@ashleysmith1276]

Cool Spot is the lamest. A red blob in sunglasses? LAME.

[@jackmoulton2546]

Eurogamer Ty the tasmanian tiger was my favourite animal platforming game

[@86housecat]

Rayman

[@ryanfrounks]

Eurogamer I played both and loved them both... but Spyro was better in my opinion

[@Mucrush]

His girlfriend is called Tawna. Coco is his sister from Crash 2 and 3...

[@magicrocks81]

I love that the entire episode is Johnny trying to hold back his laughter at the egregious attempts.

[@TheItzal11]

I love that you can literally see Aoife's skills start failing her as her frustration mounting That and Johnny's terror of her grows with every death

[@MisterSkraz]

Aoife's incandescent fury in this gives me life. How I remember making many of the same sounds and curses when playing this as a wee lad.

[@Ajescent]

anyone else irked that Aoife never went to the bonus levels?

[@eurogamer]

Ajescent TO BE FAIR, Johnny should have told me what they were! 😂

[@Ajescent]

Eurogamer You are correct. poor guidance.

[@lordpheonix1059]

Very!

[@DevilboyScooby]

18:19 "Let's face it, the challenge level isn't insanely high on this game." Umm...what? Come again, now?

[@BadIdeaGenerator]

I'm not even from anywhere near Europe but this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels.

[@Bobbacuda]

Same! I wish I found them sooner. Johnny, Aofie, Chris, and Ian are so fun

[@eurogamer]

Better late than never! Glad to have you both on board *salutes*

[@cypherusuh]

Michael Fernandez I could say that you are late to the party

[@BadIdeaGenerator]

eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@TheItzal11]

I'm a U.S.A. resident and I absolutely love these guys...

[@Benjimable_]

I hate to be that guy but, Coco is his sister in the other games and Crash Team Racing. The female bandicoot in this is Tawna. (Yes, Crash Bandicoot has a wiki too.) Also, Spyro didn't have a stupid face! I preferred Spyro to crash! Please do Spyro on Late to the Party!

[@eurogamer]

I'm sure that can be arranged, though shotgun not it (Aoife)

[@eurogamer]

NOTGUN (Johnny)

[@Benjimable_]

Well, now you're both going to play Spyro, and you'll enjoy it! (Just not Skylanders though because that's rubbish.)

[@cypherusuh]

spyro is definitely easier than crash if crash is dark souls, spyro is sonic

[@CoolioMaister]

I wish people stopped comparing a 3d platformer to a linear one. Mixing apples and oranges. Both games are good.

[@variousthings6470]

39:10 - "Don't ask me lore questions; it's a fuckin' bandicoot in jorts!"

[@larsmuldjord9907]

5:51Johnny witfully linking Ian's pants to subtle yearlong Bandicoot cosplay. Aoife completely missing it. Well, I laughed :D

[@jadbod]

If I remember clearly, there's 2 female bandicoots. There's Coco, who is Crash's highly intelligent younger sister. And then there's Tawna, who is the 'sexy' female character in the first game. Fun fact, Coco was created as a response to the negative internal reaction to Tawna. Sony Computer Entertainment Japan was not comfortable with Tawna's initial design on 'basic sexist principles'!

[@JargonMadjin]

Then we got the 'Trophy Girls' in Team Racing

[@davidclarke8840]

I know it's rude to laugh at someone elses misery but that was hilarious! Aoife it is one of those games where you need to be in the zone and not having to worry about commentary etc. At least this remake had retry levels, in the original it was start at your last save point ... and the save points were at the end of the Tawna bonus levels ... which you could only try once! So in many ways it's a lot easy (If that makes you feel any better :D)

[@GrimoireOfJank]

well then. she is like a small child in rage mode who went to a park where her father taught her colourful language when he fell off the swing

[@N-o-t-o-r-i-o-u-s_-P-i-G]

Tried to beat this game without a memory card when i was younger. I played for hours, got pretty far and then out of nowhere the game froze.

[@joshuahadams]

You never copied down the passwords you got at the end of bonus levels?

[@emiquinn7724]

honestly my aesthetic is Johnny and Aoife saying "this is bullshit" in unison

[@eurogamer]

+Em Quinn Proof we spend entirely too much time together.

[@TheQrstOne]

@35:59, RIP Mitch Hedberg. 🤎

[@MasterMantis89]

The remake is definitely more forgiving in general. You couldn't instantly retry a bonus level if you failed it on the original, you had to redo the whole level. I'm fairly certain that getting a game over dumped you back to your last save too, and you could only save after completing a bonus level. I was only 8 at the time though so might be not quite remembering it 100%

[@Bobbacuda]

Crash! My first video game memories were of him and Spyro

[@michellemarty7510]

In the original version of the game since Aoife didn't play any of the bonus levels had she gotten that game over she would have had to start back at the very first level. The first Crash was hard as hell.

[@ryanfrounks]

moral of the story... if Aoife is is swearing and shouting you are safe... when she goes completely silent that's when you need to be scared.

[@Jay-rg3ed]

10/10 on the insightful banter Johnny!

[@DC90]

6-year-old-me is mocking you.

[@thecastawaydc]

Poor Johnny...he suffers for our entertainment

[@TheAyaReina]

TFW Aoife and Johnny somehow manage to shit on ALL of your favourite childhood games in one video 😭

[@NestanSvensk]

I love how committed this channel is to enabling human suffering. Big thumbs up!

[@SilentOutbursts]

I love any of these vids with Johnny and Aoife. The banter is great. Keep em coming!

[@kaindracula2662]

Best intro ever.

[@CassandraMiddlemiss]

They should do tag team racing. That game blew my little kid mind. It doesn't have annoying lives like this one or twinsanity, it has racing, shooting, mini games, and an awesome massive platformy world to explore. But it can be completed in a few hours if you choose to play just collecting crystals as fast as possible and progressing, or if you're playing for your own enjoyment there's loads of shit to explore and you can take ages doing every race.

[@ion_X]

now we understand why and for what kind of person the line that Sylens says to Aloy: "careful, the Master Override does not override gravity" it's for people like Aoife lol

[@The-Underbaker]

Johnny, I grew up playing video games on a Commodore 64 so imagine waiting for a game to load which could then be completed in a shorter time than it took to load the damn thing! Ahhh, good times though...

[@eurogamer]

I had a Commodore 64 growing up as well! I was too young to really appreciate what was going on, I think, but I have a few fond memories of it. (Johnny)

[@Sir_Master_Kaino]

Dino Crisis case is on the top left corner on the shelf. FAVORITE GAME EVER!

[@jameswoodard4304]

You've gotta love accents. At 27:14 it did not sound like "shooting" when I heard it the first time. I thought we were getting a major does of digestive over-share.

[@MrJoemolin]

A fricking t-shirt with a slice of pizza on it... Johnny is either cleverly dropping hints for his next cooking vid OR his fashion sense has fallen off a cliff since getting hitched . I choose to believe the former; Dante's Pizza from DMC confirmed for next week!

[@Nerdazoid]

For any one how doesn't like Johnny's t-shirt they are weirDOUGH :)

[@eurogamer]

Not hitched yet, friend - your move!

[@MrJoemolin]

( : \/)- I'm not yo''ur friend, buddaaey!

[@Jambobist]

Stick that shirt in the back of the wardrobe till the deal is sealed Johnny, she can still change her mind.

[@RJAMLuz]

Angry Aoife is the best Aoife. I don't know which is better anymore, Angry Aoife or Uncomfortable Chris.

[@andidimarco3820]

Aoife and her mighty war cry! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

[@arcadieboy86]

haha Johnny that guy from the ground yelling that tribal talk is what I was most looking forward to hearing again. ps the boxes on the head was in the original

[@omarsabir1210]

the chemistry between u guys is magical

[@thesilentexo7539]

The smile was gone from Johnny's face so quickly when Aoife said "beardy twat."

[@thierryfux7318]

Kremlins! The crocs in Donkey Kong are called Kremlins :)

[@eurogamer]

That's the one!

[@designanddeploy5991]

Is there some significance to the pizza slice shirt? Johnny wears it, then a couple weeks later, the girl at Xbox On wears it, then a couple weeks later Mike at Outside Xbox wears it. You all shop at the same store?

[@benharding2439]

Lady Crash is called Tawna I believe. Coco is his sister in the second and third games :).

[@ahmz1404]

Hang on a second, this is the remake

[@TheChloetse]

40:57 you can hear the rage coming out of Aoife's nostrils

[@williamp7861]

"Hog wild is fun" Me having spent an afternoon on the level last month: "THATS A FUCKING LIE"

[@speedy316uk]

I have come from 2018 to tell past Johnny that past Aoife didnt kill him! Good times :D

[@logansrevenge1214]

Johnny's smile the whole time

[@uncannymeerkat]

I'd love to see Aoife play the Battletoads Turbo Tunnel level. I think whoever joins her would actually have to take some defensive measures...

[@Stormy2142]

I dream of seeing Aoife and Johnny hanging out with Jane, Andy, Mark, Ellen and Luke. I think I'd die.

[@StargateAdventures]

Johnny, to me Wumpa fruits always looked like giant Crabapples... but that might just be because we had a crabapple tree in my childhood garden. haha

[@snicketysnick]

36.23 is possibly the greatest instant karma I've seen on this show

[@ashleysmith1276]

snicketysnick What are they referencing with that "Go around!" stuff. I recognise it but cannot place it..

[@eurogamer]

Mitch Hedberg 😀 (Johnny)

[@ZodeakUrganomix]

Johnny's winces of pain were fucking hilarious

[@86housecat]

Is this the Eurogamer office? I always thought it was Ian's bedroom in his parents' house.

[@elv3a424]

That's basically the same thing

[@foxsux6000]

Arnold Rimmer didn't have his own initial on his forehead, he had the H for hologram.(dork out.)

[@MrLanguidLogic]

Gaaaah! The bobcat game that Aoife was talking about was Bubsy 3D, which I definitely spent more time than I should have playing on PS1, and Bubsy also definitely had a stupider face than Spyro.

[@lilliputmoss]

Jumping Flash > Crash. That robo rabbit was the real mascot.

[@SomeGuyXG3]

That thumbnail makes it look like Aoife's about to go on a murderous rampage. Should I be worried?

[@nightcatarts]

Aoife is right about the bobcat; that was Bubsy but he came from the 2D era and transitioned into an equally quite poor 3D version. I wonder whether they tried to make up for the short levels in these by intentionally placing the camera in the worst possible place. I suppose that was characteristic of the era as a whole though.. No idea how we managed.

[@DevilboyScooby]

This was both entertaining and infuriating to watch, with all the missed boxes/bonus levels and inaccuracies...I probably stressed out watching it as much as Aoife did playing it.

[@jvwriter9028]

Do we know what Crash's aim is like? Because if he has similar aim to Ian then Ian might be able to collect some money because his likeness was used in a video game. Maybe with or without his permission who knows?

[@montaigneb5187]

At least we now know the EXACT moment that Aoife decided that the entire staff at Eurogamer had to die. oi65.tinypic.com/2qcjhc9.jpg

[@OnlineRecord]

is this the secret footage of Assassin's Creed: Easter Island? I see they returned to the Altair school of swimming

[@thehobnob]

At least the first game has a sane save and continue system now!

[@ultrapika1875]

“Never trust a guy with initials on his forehead.” Mario and Luigi are sad.

[@circle2867]

play original rayman on ps1 please.

[@jimothyturtle3331]

I love you. Subbed.

[@kristoferhindersson]

I thought the sniping was just pretence to create a bit of dramatic tension. I guess I was wrong :(

[@161genius]

Michael Bandicoot? Looks more like Michael Fox, eh?

[@161genius]

Even better

[@nicholascross3557]

People who played Crash Bandicoot as kids grew up to make Dark Souls...

[@Johnny90M]

My favourite pair :D Although Ian isn't far behind on my list

[@1812madjack]

This video has reaffirmed my hatred of platformers. JUST JUMP ON THE FUCKING THING!

[@Nerdazoid]

I can't remember a game being sarcastic with me. Good job getting threw the level but you missed so many boxes. Boxes that are hidden I might add. Screw it straight to Crash 3.

[@redvalkyrie84]

I totally missed the wall reference

[@siresorb1419]

Aoife parts of the James Bond club... Lol

[@loggoblin3513]

You guys should late to the party Rayman!

[@circle2867]

how come she got the gem on that boulder level even though she died? wtf

[@ImBatman1222]

Aiofe the bobcat you're thinking of is Bubsy.....the worst of the 90's mascots

[@hokigirl92]

Aoife: Never trust a guy with an initial on his forehead What about Captain America?

[@eurogamer]

+SP1R1T92 Mate, Captain America: Steve Rogers #1 *runs for cover* (Aoife)

[@MI2Dragon86]

18:32 - I'm sorry but that's UTTER bullshit.... The game that is.

[@duncanmunro640]

Papu Papu is my favourite Dark Souls boss

[@Emperortyping]

Oh. Eurogamers personification of barely suppressed rage playing the first game that actually made me break a controller. Will Johnny survive this? Let's find out...

[@gtone339]

Ask Frash for assistance!

[@mikepatterson1]

I share Aoife's immense frustrations with this. I never really got into Crash Bandicoot because I played Super Mario 64 first, and I was roughly the same age as Johnny when Crash came out.

[@feraldrgn]

Could have made the sequence around 14 minutes easier if she weren't in such a rush trying to jump to each box straight away. Slightly painful to watch.

[@maxwellcaulfield6476]

Definitely does not look like a Tasmanian Devil

[@SpartanGamingPlayz]

34:50 lmao!

[@coreymckee4844]

did she just call spyro lame?! not gonna lie.. I am pretty triggered right about now.😡😠 spyro is LEAGUES BETTER THAN CRASH!! crash is awesome but spyro is always number 1!!!

[@dannyhall8225]

Glad to see after watching this someone is worse than me at this game

[@OliverPewPewPew]

Oh! Johnny was bullied at school. But look at him now. One of the cool guys in game journalism.

[@TijmenZwaan]

Speaking of that shout/chant in the third level, did you know it was sampled from this song? Jenjela Runyenje kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXm0gmZ_dsysiNU

[@whodatninja439]

Aoife is so precious

[@Nerdazoid]

What did Aoife say about Gorillas I can't hear.

[@ashleysmith1276]

Nerdazoid "Harambe RIP"

[@Nerdazoid]

(Google search)Oh right :/ Thanks Ashley.

[@mullergui13]

For the love of god jump on the crates!

[@indysgill]

How much for the Grimlock behind Aoife?

[@eurogamer]

He's Masterpiece so he was actually pretty pricey! Probably deserves better than the shelf I've stuck him on TBH... (Aoife)

[@ashleysmith1276]

Eurogamer I've had my eye on Grimlock since u shoved him up there. He is beautiful.

[@davidking2528]

I was so happy my childhood was Mario 64 and not crash. Late to the party on Mario 64 pleeeeeease

[@eurogamer]

+David King Good shout!

[@ursus6317]

I agree with Johnny, Cartridges were way better. Fuck discs

[@twilliamspro]

i got playstation late never got crash not really interested in playing it final fantasy 8 was my jam

[@ajwithnoname5527]

I mean...crash is not as bad as you’re making it out to be.

[@Buggins]

Haha. I am entirely with Aoife on the merits of Crash Bandicoot.

[@zossua7375]

You guys should play CTR!!! Easily the best Crash game.
