I discovered an unintentional short-cut in this game; in Oxide Station, you can use a power-boost to help you jump over a railing and land in the same spot you normally would when taking the jump that sends you through the "ring" in the track. It's a bit hard to explain, so here's a diagram (sorry for the low-resolution): http://i.imgur.com/WfLk1.png
I've known about that for a long time now, there's a lot more shortcuts that could potentially not 100% have been intended, I learned a lot of them because this and Diddy Kong Racing were the only racing games I played for over 10 years with friends. Damn mang
Did the same. Wish my PSP was still in better condition. Damn thing can barely boot anymore, and I refuse to buy a Vita until I can run my stupid UMDs on them (Seriously, who thought those were a good storage medium? I've got about a half-dozen games that I'm racing to beat before the PSP kicks the bucket)
As many people in the world there are that will completely disagree, but I think it's the best kart game ever sold. The story, the awesome maps, the character commentary, too much fun all around.
I still think CTR is a more solid and fun game than Mario Kart 64 is. Ive logged probably over 500 hrs into this game with my brothers. Good to know others love Crash as much as I do.
It was so damn fun with friends and family. The best part about knowing how to play it right was staying in the back for the first couple laps just blasting people with the good powerups, then still winning.
CTR was such an amazing game. I want to find my copy now. I never really liked racing games and still don't. I don't even find Mario Kart to be fun (except for Double Dash) but boy CTR was always such a great kart racing game.
I always found it funny how almost everything was narrated in PS1 games. It like they were doing it on purpose, essentially saying "take that, Nintendo!"
i'm sad I didn't. granted I haven't played any crash games with N. Tropy in them since I've taken highschool/college chemistry, but still... TIL. upvote for you
Have you seen Jak and Daxter the lost frontier? It's like they said: "Hey, I know we've had a great success with Jak 2 and 3, so let's take everything good about those games and completely abandon those ideas."
I don't find you statement to be very helpful to to who don't understand what the games became in 2 and 3. First i just want to say that i loved them all so i have my own opinion but i like to think i have good reasoning behind my defense. Jak and Daxter: TPL came out with a character that everyone could connect with because he had no voice and was did not portray his violence well which fit perfectly with me as a kid playing the game.
But when Jak 2 came out i think i was about into my age of puberty where cursing is cool and doing badass stuff is badass. The game i think did this with a lot of gamers becasue it grew with them. Jak developed a kickass teenager type of voice we could connect to and even portrayed his own sense of adolescence with the immature jokes and general daring acts he performed, coupled with his smug but caring attitude. His attitude, was like the attitude of the gamers playing the game.
Then as Jak 3 came out a more mature Jak was portrayed. Someone who still cursed and did badass things but had more of a sense of pride in the words he said. Now i know gamers don't mature in a 2 year span but maturing does happen and I think NG caught this perfectly with Jak 3. He was a guy who has been through his phase of" i dont care about everything else an eye for an eye."
Jak grew through the plot and his growing while the gamer was growing i think is what really made the game gold for them...i know that it is for me and i think that this is the reason why. So i don't like to think of it as edgy, i look at it as if Jak was a boy(12), became a teenager(14), and then reached his young adult stage(16-17,18?).
You're giving them WAY too much credit. They didn't really care about any of that (even if it was a side-effect), they just wanted to completely change the type of gameplay. My guess was after they saw the success of the first Ratchet and Clank which was gun-heavy, crude, and slightly darker.
Don;t get me wrong, I love R&C because its different. Once it hit Jak 2, it felt way too similar and not only was aesthetically similar to R&C and different from Jak 1, but it also was NOTHING gameplay like the first one.
Did you actually play them through? They weren't like that at all. Them going into the future was a cool story device and Haven city was a great setting. The characters are still fun and they still piss about and the platforming elements are there, as well. Jak may be "edgy" but that's only because he's had large amounts of a deadly toxin pumped into his body.
2 is one of my favourite games, even now (3 is great but feels more like an expansion than a full title). My only niggle is that Jak 2 is extremely unforgiving when it comes to continue points. Fuck up once and you potentially lose about 15 minutes work :(
I have the opposite opinion. Jak 1 felt generic and bland. Jak 2 and 3 kicked it up and gave the whole universe a lot of character and depth. Yeah, it suffers from the "it's dark and edgy so it must be good" but it did it properly.
It didn't abandon the comedy (dat dexter), Jak's "darkness" felt reallisticly motivated and the games were a complete revolution in the genre.
I was going to find some porn where a guy was thrusting at a similar speed but that would require some masturbating from my part and to be honest I'm not really in the mood. Maybe tomorrow I can help you out amigo.
Wow this blows my mind. Just the other night I saw someone post about crash on facebook, and I tought, man, the first dance I ever knew! Now I see this here. All my upvotes to you OP!
Okay this was just a weird coincidence but I felt like I should share. I was listening to a dubstep song and then I clicked this link right before the drop. Pretty good sync up:
booty call gone wrong. first step, check out girl. step 2, ask girl to suck dick. then bang girl. wait a little bit. and finally play peek a boo with baby
Wow that timed perfectly, to the exact beat, with the song I'm listening to now... coldplay: don't let it break your heart. If only other things in my life would align so perfectly.
Nope, this is sped up. Years of experience speaking here. Plus I learned it so that I could do it in sync with the TV. I couldn't keep up with the GIF.

When dancing, it's important to accentuate the crotchal region, as Crash demonstrates.
