What are you playing right now? II -

OANST · #**931** 01-28-2011, 08:39 AM

The humor was trite, and forced, but I didn't really care about that. I was happy to look beyond that if it had decent gameplay. But the gameplay is merely run Run RUN RUN RUN RUN IT'S A PUZZLE NO DON'T STOP RUN RUN JUST SHOOT THROUGH THE PUZZLE RUN NOOOO DON'T STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE PUZZLE IT'S NOT REALLY A PUZZLE JUST RUN THROUGH IT HURRY GOGOGOGOGOGO.

I didn't like that.

Dynamithix · #**932** 01-28-2011, 08:43 AM

In the later levels, there are more real puzzle levels, not all hurry-go-go levels. And what did you expect from a racing-platformer?

Mac Sirloin · #**933** 01-28-2011, 08:51 AM

Racing platformers are almost always shit.

FACT

OANST · #**934** 01-28-2011, 08:54 AM

All I know is that a game that fast-paced shouldn't be as boring as it is.

Dynamithix · #**935** 01-28-2011, 08:55 AM

goddammit it aint boring grarrarrrr

Fine, I think it's great, my friends like it, the end. I'm half through Chapter 2 in it now.

OANST · #**936** 01-28-2011, 08:57 AM

Ilomilo was really cool. I keep forgetting to finish it.

Manco · #**937** 01-28-2011, 12:27 PM

Posting this in the right thread this time hey

I dug out my old PSOne collection a few days ago after not having any way to play them in years; I've been enjoying the shit out of the old Spyro games.

I'd agree with this if I hadn't played Carmageddon on the PsOne.

Dynamithix · #**939** 01-28-2011, 12:35 PM

Spyro, woo! I remember that there was a funny 'cheat' in Crash Bash that if you pressed start and some buttons in the menu, you could play some Spyro demo or something else, haha.

If I remember right, Crash 3 had a hidden Spyro 3 demo and Spyro 3 had a hidden Crash 3 demo.

Incidentally, the Crash series is next on my list after the Spyro series. It's a real shame both franchises went to shit after they left PSOne.

Elmatto753 · #**941** 01-28-2011, 12:45 PM

Ahhh yes, PS1 games. I've got some real crap for that console sitting in my room, like Monsters Inc., a really repetative Buzz Lightyear game and some good stuff like Rayman 1, 2 and Rush, plus Crash 1-3 and CTR and Spyro 1-3. Good times.

Manco · #**942** 01-28-2011, 12:49 PM

I hold that Crash Team Racing is the best cart racing game ever made, bar none.

Elmatto753 · #**943** 01-28-2011, 12:52 PM

I can agree with that. I it had hidden characters that I didn't even know about for years and everything. They were DAMN hard to unlock.
Fuck Mariokart. CTR is the best kart racer ever.
EDIT: It's the best PS1 game ever.

Dixanadu · #**944** 01-28-2011, 12:56 PM

Rayman was good before the rabbits took over.

Elmatto753 · #**945** 01-28-2011, 01:15 PM

'Tis true. There is this though:

I spent forever trying to find a way to unlock the final boss as a playable character, but it turns out it's not possible.

Kind of surprising, considering how pretty much every other character in the series thus far was playable in that game.

I just looked it up to check and you CAN unlock that dude. Holy fuck, my childhood memories of perfecting that game are RUINED.

EDIT: Okay, so that's not true - you can unlock him via cheating, but that's it. Childhood restored.

Elmatto753 · #**947** 01-28-2011, 01:21 PM

There, there, it's ok, it'll all be fine.

Dixanadu · #**948** 01-28-2011, 01:28 PM

It's been a very long time since I've played it, but I remember unlocking some, if not all, characters.

I'm trying hard...first unlockable character was some sort of deranged, fox-like animal, right? The second was this rather sinister looking fellow.

That's all I got.

Elmatto753 · #**949** 01-28-2011, 01:32 PM

Little vague there. If the first guy you're on about was blue it was Ripper Roo, if not it was probably Pinstripe. The second one is probably Papu Papu.

Dixanadu · #**950** 01-28-2011, 01:34 PM

Ah, I remember! Yes, Ripper Roo was the first.

Pinstripe rings a bell, but I'm not sure. Everything's foggy...I think he was a reptilian-looking creature.

Papu-Papu was some kind of bear/ape or something.

Pinstripe was a Potoroo (rat-like thing) mutated into a Mafia-style character.

Papu-Papu was the fat tribe chieftain.

I could reel off all the other characters if you want, they're engrained pretty well into my memory.

Wings of Fire · #**952** 01-28-2011, 01:38 PM

Oh god the memories are flooding back. Fuck you guys.

N. Gin was always the coolest.

But Pinstripe was still...sinister looking/sounding right? If so, then yeah. Second character I unlocked, then Papu-Papu.

Yes, indulge me with the others.

Elmatto753 · #**954** 01-28-2011, 01:49 PM

There was Penta Penguin, some weird character that was introduced for CTR and never seen again. Komodo Joe was one of the bosses and was some sort of green lizard/dragon thing. N. Tropy was a wierd man with clocks all over his body. And obviously N. Oxide, the green alien and main boss.

Dixanadu · #**955** 01-28-2011, 01:51 PM

Never heard of any of those, save for Komodo Joe.

God damn, I got the urge to play it again. Fuckkkkkkkkkk

Elmatto753 · #**956** 01-28-2011, 01:53 PM

N. Tropy was in Crash 3 as well.

Dynamithix · #**957** 01-28-2011, 01:54 PM

I remember these baddies from Crash games:

- Dingodile
- Koala Kong
- Komodo Twins, Joe & Moe (Those guys were hardcore)
- Papu Papu
- Uka Uka
- Ripper Roo
- Cortex
- Pinstripe Potaroo (That last name isn't probably the correct one)
- Tiny the muthafuckin' Tiger
- N. Gin
- Doctor Brio (something like that)
- Nitrous Oxide (Crash Bash's final boss if I remember correctly...)
- Dr. Nefarus Tropy (??? that time doctor guy from Crash 3.)
- Those evil alien guys from Crash Nitro Kart, they were Emperor Velo, Zem and Zom I guess.

Yes, indulge me with the others.

From memory, CTR's character roster:

Good Characters
Crash: Main guy from the series, you should know him.
Coco: Crash's sister, blonde hair.
Polar: A polar bear and Crash's pet.
Pura: A tiger and Coco's pet.

Evil Characters
Cortex: Evil scientist with a giant yellow head.
N. Gin: Evil scientist with a rocket embedded in his skull.
Tiny: A muscular evil tiger.
Dingodile: Half dingo, half crocodile.

Bosses
Ripper Roo: Crazy blue kangaroo in a straitjacket.
Papu-Papu: Fat tribe chieftain.
Komodo Joe: Ninja lizard I guess? Wears purple, likes swords.
Pinstripe: Mafia/gangster-styled rat thing.
Nitros Oxide: Evil crazy alien dude.

Secret
N. Tropy: Evil time-travelling cyborg scientist.

After checking, the only one I missed was Fake Crash: Duplicate of Crash with weird teeth and eyebrows.

EDIT: Looks like there's others you can unlock via code, including Penta Penguin, but I'm not sure if some of those are hoaxes.

OANST · #**959** 01-28-2011, 01:55 PM

I never liked Crash Bandicoot. I thought the games were boring, and poorly made.

Elmatto753 · #**960** 01-28-2011, 01:58 PM

Oxide was in Bash too, I remember now. It's N. Brio, like embryo. And Crash Bash had Rilla Roo, who was a rather chunky monkey and was also never seen again.

EDIT: Poorly made, yes, boring, hell no.
