Just started playing picrel, what am I in for?

Camera is absolute cancer, I noticed that already.
>>
Why can’t you just play a video game without having to get other people’s approval?
>>

My life is shit, so I decided to be a pest and drag others down to my level. Glad to see it's working :^

>>12583871
none of the SOVL of the original

You absolutely need to play the PC version which supports tank controls similar to the first game. The PSX version doesn't have them and the analog controls are horrible.
>>
>>12583871
Dogshit character controlling (good fucking luck with platforming), retarded camera, permanently missable (ie fuckup-able) collectibles, not a lot of fun overall IMO
Boss fights are somewhat interesting but everything else is meh
>>
>>12583879
That's what this board is literally for unironically thoughever
>>
>>12583921
>fuckup-able collectibles
Wait what? Can you explain please? I do a sweep search for missables before playing every game, didn't find anything for this one.
>>
Croc of shit is one of those series you can point to and say "this is why 5th gen flopped" compared to predecessors
>>
>>12583871
wonder and whimsy in a non reddit way
>>
>>12583871
Cock

>>12583871
I haven't played Croc since I was little but I remember liking it a lot.
>>
Next time, make a "What is /vr/ playing this week" thread. Works out better.
I know I played this at my neighbor's in like '98 but I don't remember a damn thing about it.
>>
>>12584020
Oh yeah, it's Croc 2, didn't read the filename. Only played the first.
>>
>>12583996

The intro alone is kino.

I agree, Croc 2 comes off as really stupid and not in a good way, it's like the game assumes the player is a 6 years old retard. Obviously Croc 1 was also made for kids but it never come off as condecending like 2 does.

Still has some good levels (if you play the PC version with tank controls)

fuck off with your cancer

bloated gimmickfest

as frustrating as the original was at least it actually focused on being a straightforward platformer. croc 2 should probably be referred to as a minigame action adventure
>>
>>12583879
I have mommy/daddy issues :^(

>>12583972
There are certain spots where you can put a trampoline to jump higher and get whatever is hidden at the top. There are three trampoline types, each one is more expensive than the last but launches you higher. The spots for trampolines are color coded but if you don't know that beforehand then you can place the wrong trampoline, and that's it, you can't remove or change it. At best you just wasted a better trampoline where a worse one would suffice, but at worst you put a weak trampoline where a strong one was needed and voila, you can no longer get to those collectibles
Another semi-missable type are those clockwork robot minigames, you use up a robot for every attempt and you have to buy new ones, so theoretically if you're bad at this, you can very well run out of both clockwork robots AND money to buy them
tldr use savestates before using an item

Thanks anon, fuck, that's retarded as hell.

I think the first is better

Git gud.
>you can place the wrong trampoline
Just restart the console dude.
>but its jank
Croc 1 straight up doesn't work on the Sega Saturn unless you boot the console with the lid open. Jank is Croc's tradition.
>>
>>12584134
What the fuck am I reading.........

..... THERE IS A HIGH JUMP MOVE. You jump on your ass, I think it's the pound attack actually, and then you push the jump button again and it does a high jump. I 100%'d the game and I've never used any "trampoline', I didn't even know the game had that.
>>
>>12584139
Just don't be ashamed of save states and you'll be fine. Good luck, maybe you'll be able to actually enjoy it, I'd genuinely rather replay spyro or rayman for the 999th time instead of either croc
>>12584242
I'm just informing the guy that some actions in that game cannot be undone
>>12584243
You couldn't possibly get 100% without using trampolines. I'm talking about those donut thingies, three different color variations, you can buy them in the shop
>>
>>12583927
Is that really why you come here? That’s kinda sad.
>>
>>12583871
youre a faggot for this thread
but croc is a cute charming little game
its actually decently challenging if you hunt down the secret levels
it has a unique atmosphere thats unlike any other game ive played, and the theme song is kino if poorly fitting
>>
>>12583871
This game, truly, was robbed by Banjo-Kazooie.
>>
>>12583995
>this is why 5th gen flopped
things that never happened
>>
>>12583871
vibes are so off. tribal jungle vibes to imitate crash. goofy voices like banjo kazooie. spyro-style collectathon... and in trying to be so many other games it completely lost what made the original Croc so special
>>
>>12583927
I thought it was for discussing retro games.
>>
>>12585416
you can do that and get approval at the same time?
>>
>>12585465
Why would you want to get approval of random people though.
>>
>>12585380
>what made the original Croc so special
Like what? Croc 1 sucked too
