Crash Bandicoot | The Completionist
/ thatonevideogamer - Hry
Crash Bandicoot might have been hard AF, but it prepared me for all 3D platformers, so no regrets.
Ultimate muscle memory is needed because visuals makes no sense at some levels (this is the part that make upset most of beginners)
Relatable
"Crash Bandicoot: A Hero With No Neck"
Jontron: FINALLY! A video game for me!
According to Crash 1's manual, Aku Aku originally helps Crash in order to restore the islands being polluted by Cortex. He just decided Crash was too good a guy to leave things to chance :p
Pretty funny that that’s the only explanation
Did I just see Tomba go by on the bad games on the Playstation list? what?! Jirard, are you mad?!?
Glad I'm not the only one triggered.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty fun. Maybe not perfect but it even got a sequel
+Samzerge bubsy got 2 sequels
makes me happy this was the first comment I saw. I loved tomba!
+GoroNick
Bubsy had way more than 3 games. None of which were wanted, ever.
I'm pissed. Not because I loved this game, but because Jirard thinks it's weird Crash has no neck despite that both Mario and Sonic have no necks.
I think he means Crash's head seems to be fully integrated into his torso, whereas Mario and Sonic's respective heads are clearly separate from the rest of their bodies.
Yeah but sonic and mario have heads. It looks like crash's face is practically on his body lol.

Mario has a neck lols
I find it weird that he specifically talks about it in this game, even though Crash has no neck in the next games either
That dude barely has a neck as well
Perfect for Children with no necks!
Finally, a game system for me!
lol
Wait....8bit game? Drokash, make up your mind
Hey man its tough dont laugh
+BSG- Jay i thought he/she said dazzling 3D graphics...
The remasters alone are the reason for me to get a PS4.
same
I can't wait either
and this is why exclusives ae bad
I am also reminded to someday get a PS Vita, as long as Sony doesn't keep pushing it into a corner...
I agree though for me, Ratchet & Clank was my excuse, love that series lol Can't wait for Crash and if they do good, maybe we'll get Spyro!
5:48 - "Oh boy, were there a lot of bad games in the Playstation!" *shows Heart of Darkness and Tomba*
Why do you break my heart, Jirard? :(
Bruh heart of darkness is terrible
@@TheOneLegendaryGamer I LOOOVED Heart of Darkness when it came out! Me and my Dad spent SO much time with it! We even actually replayed the game at some point back during the '06/'07 years, lol.
What? Tomba, bad? You're out of your mind.
Tomba is an awesome game with such a unique vibe to it! Still holds up.
Tomba is one of the best ps1 games.
One of the best platformers on PS1.
But he's entitled to his opinion
+GameonHead But I'm also entitled to my opinion of his opinions.
Tomba is a bad game on the Playstation? SINCE WHEN? Tomba isn't fantastic but it's at least GOOD!
Git gud salty boi
Git gud taste
Nohrian Scum "taste" is debatable
Take a joke will ya?
***** 7/10 reference good roast
I think the correct word, instead of "Bad", is TEDIOUS.
If Tomba is on this so-called bad game list, then the correct word instead of bad is fun. Because Tomba is fun as hell.
@@mjc0961 so is Army Men 3D. It's brutal at times, but it's fun
Yeah Rayman has it worse he has no neck at all no arms and no legs
I just realized.... when did we stop counting these episodes?
I hate you, now I can't un-realize this
I must know now
Ep. 138 was the last that was counted. I actually realized that episode 139 wasn't counted but I didn't care enough to ask.
The last one numbered in the thumb nail was 106
He stopped putting them on thumbnail at 108. But he stopped numbering them, period, at 138
FINALLY! A PLATFORMER FOR ME!
I see what you did there :)
Dats a noice reference right 'ere.
that's dookey and old completionist was better
+Imadora ?
+Imadora What?
I actually like the first one the most, just because of the difficulty!
same here. although it does get easier once you get a hang of it, but the other 2 are just a piece of cake
Laatikkomafia I didn't like that crash weighted atleast a ton
Laatikkomafia same the difficulty makes the game better then 2 imo
@@daleanmonster4218 I think 2's difficulty just comes from being cryptic.
@@jsweeney7359 :(
You can call this the worst out of the trilogy, BUT you gotta admit it's got the catchiest intro theme out of all of them.
(And the best music for the riding section)
I thought tomba was good
was a good game?
It's a hard game to stomach without nostalgia goggles, that doesn't mean people aren't allowed to like it but it's definitely aged a bit poorly. There are better platformers from the time period. I like the original Megaman Legends but the game is pretty awful and aged these days. Still one of my favorite games but it's pretty rough, even in comparison to it's sequel
It is, he is in the minority on that.
Tomba 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I'd never played the first one
I finally got around to being able to play it earlier this year for the first time, and it's very much akin to how Crash Bandicoot 1 compares to 2 and 3: still good, but not as polished graphics-, gameplay-, and control-wise
+rawblink I played it for the first time a year ago and found it excellent.
Pacman world bruh.
Then 2 and 3 because they have a lot of stuff to grab.
Pleeeeease!
Sounds good to me.
YAAASSS
definitely the 2nd one
Why do you guys want it? I want it because it is very under rated, and those who do know it really don't talk about it.
Also I need to see his opinion on King Galaxian and Anubis rex.
I Heard In N Sane, There's Relics In ALL Games. Good Luck With That.
You're a madman, Jirard! I started playing Crash Bandicoot for the first time after two decades and it is a ruthless experience. I don't know how I survived playing that game as a kid.
49 deaths?.... yeah suuuuure
_“Getting all the boxes in one go without dying makes this game pretty masochistic for a completionist!”_
As they say in Dark Souls: “Get gud, son!”
This game was for kids as well tho, not adults like Dark Souls.
Got to say that the quality of the completionist vids have gone way up over the past couple months! Keep it up ThatOneVideoGame office!
I've always wondered what your thoughts on the first Crash were. So excited for the remasters!
I've always loved this game. it was one of the first games I ever played, and since then I've 100% the game 3 times. its pretty balls to the wall hard, but i always felt that the 2nd and 3rd were pretty easy. i would call 3 a little too easy to 100% to be honest, but they're all great, and I've 100% all 3 multiple times, but I've always felt that the 1st was by far the best
Over the past few days I've just properly played through Crash Bandicoot 1 for the first time (as a kid I'd gotten Warped first, which was the only one I finished, and only messed around a little with the first two games later), then finished getting all the gems for 100% completion, and as I got near the end I checked out this video to hear your thoughts. I agree with almost all of your comments, but I'm surprised you didn't complain more about the colored gems that unlock hidden paths in some levels, because they're one of my biggest complaints about the game in going for 100% completion. The idea of achievements in one level unlocking hidden areas in another isn't a bad one, but this implementation has major issues. First, the fact that boxes hidden in these areas prevent you from earning their level's gem if you're unable to access them (which, for most levels with them, WILL be the case the first time through, since most of the colored gems are clustered near the end of the game) means that you'll need to beat them once, then come back later to go for their gem; but if you know from the start you want to go for 100% completion, it would be most efficient to go for the gem right after beating the level the first time, while it's still fresh in your mind, so this wastes your time by forcing you to basically learn each level twice. Then there's the fact that this system is very poorly explained; there's no explanation in the game itself, and the instruction manual does say that gems can enable Crash to access new areas in previously completed stages, but it doesn't mention anything about differently colored gems, the first of which doesn't show up until the tenth level, and the white gems that are all you can collect until then and for most of the stages in the game don't work that way, only gating your access to the hidden ending. Also, nothing in the game or manual mentions that it will be impossible to earn the gem for some stages your first time through, so I was seriously confused when (naturally starting out trying to earn the gems as I went along) I kept trying to find the boxes I was missing in the second level until I looked online and figured out what was going on; now imagine how confounding that would have been when this game first came out and the internet wasn't much of a thing! There's also no indication from the map or other UI of what levels have hidden areas, and it can be easy to miss the tiny transparent gems that indicate places platforms will appear when you have the appropriate gem even IF you know the game works that way, much less if you don't; and it's immensely frustrating if, playing a level blind, you manage to get to the end without dying or missing a box, only to discover that you can't earn the gem because it has a hidden area you can't access yet. And even if you learn or figure out about how the colored gems work, there's no indication of which seemingly-random levels have them, so you're left guessing at random if you're not using a guide. And the content of the hidden areas accessed by the colored gems often leaves much to be desired; most of them just give access to a handful of extra lives, which isn't that big a deal in earlier stages you've already cleared, and while it's a lot more interesting for that ones that basically add on additional, more challenging areas to some of the early stages (essentially breathing new life and challenge into a previously-completed level), it still feels strange that it's easier to complete most of those areas than to earn the gems that were required to access them.
I know I was basically just ranting into the ether a lot there and that it's likely no one will ever read this, but I felt the need to vent my feelings after internally griping about them the whole time I was going through this game. As much as I complain about all of this, I think it was probably a decision on the designers' part to try to extend the lifespan of the game by giving players reason to spend a lot of time exploring and mastering all of the levels, which was probably the same reason they made the gems so difficult to earn with the 1-life completionist requirement; and to be fair, trying to squeeze as much lifetime as you can out of your game's limited content wasn't necessarily a bad decision in those days, when games were often short and most people didn't have many in their libraries, so people wanted a lot of value (in terms of playtime) for their money. On the upside, I DO really like the actual completion bonus in this game; the whole Great Hall level basically exists just to hint at the significance of the gems and then to serve as a victory lap once you have them all, and an alternate ending, as simple as it was, felt like quite a satisfying reward, especially for its time.
Please keep making these! It makes Fridays even better!
A lot of points you made here were kind of funny to me. As a youngster, I loved the idea of completing games and in my teen years, I did complete a whole bunch of my Xbox 360 collection, but 1 of the few games I 100% completed as a kid was Crash 1. Maybe my opinion doesn't count, as I've never played Crash 2 or 3, a lot of the points you made against the game were things I loved! The cameras may SEEM awkward, but they showed you just enough information for you to play and didn't make it easy. I LIKE this. Give me a challenge. I don't need to control the camera like with many 3D games of the era (because let's be real; early 3D games had HORRIBLE camera control) and that makes my life easier, but it doesn't make the GAME easier. And beating each level in 1 run getting every box is such a fun challenge! It made you EARN your 100% completion. There were no tricks or cheats to get around it; you just had to get GOOD and that spoke to me so much. Crash 1 (along with Bomberman Hero & Banjo-Kazooie) were the games that made me want to 100% complete games in the first place! I'm not mad we share different opinions on the game, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on some of the flaws you found with it.
Hey Jirard today is my birthday and I bought a PS1 and Crash bandicoot i'm having alot of fun with the game so i'm glad to see your playing it too keep up the good work and keep on completing ;)
*a lot
Croc was NOT a bad game by any means.
What's cooler? Croc 2 or 2 crocs?
It was by the fact that it's his opinion not yours. I guess you forgot that it is HIS show where he shows HIS opinions.
Yizoh! Wahey!
Zan Zan The first one is okay, the second one is just bad
I fuckin love that Crash's helmet has 'I am become death' written on it.
Truly, Crash is the destroyer of worlds
15:16 in case anybody missed it
Something I always found kinda interesting about both Crash and Spyro is that strangely Universal didn’t capitalize on them especially at their prime.
Yeah Crash had short lived toy line and there were occasional McDonalds Promos but both seemed ripe for potential in other media, specifically cartoons and more so in Spyro’s case comics although a Crash Comic could probably work too.
No neck? Crash would enjoy playing on a Game Phillips then.
Finally, a game system for me!
Eck
Kyrion Red it took me awhile to realize that was a jontron refrence
12:56
That's all I needed to hear.
Completed this back in the day. Getting all the boxes without dying in some levels is no joke.
That Simple and Clean reference was wonderful.
Only 49 deaths??
Bullshit. I don't believe you. I died 71 times on "Fumbling in the Dark" alone.
RandomGameCritic maybe deaths refers to how many times he ran out of lives
Hes a fucking liar 28 hour playtime with 49 deaths? That doesnt add up
RandomGameCritic i died 33 times in the N Sane Trilogy on fumbling in the dark
33 times in the entire N Sane Trilogy? Like, all three games put together?
william white even if you only played through the levels and didn't go for gems or relics i still wouldn't believe that
Hey TOVG could you do LA Noire. I just love that game, the setting, the story, and the gameplay are just so fun and compelling. Thanks
Jirard and Alex did a complete playthrough of it on Super Beard Bros! Check it out man! :)
+Mathieu Mercier Oh cool . Thank you very much :)
#perfectdicks #stillcops
#perfectdicks #alexcantdrive
I myself would honestly still love to see him complete it and review it on this show, personally.
That Simple reference clean up my night, it's hard to let it go 🎶
That Kingdom Hearts joke is still one of my favourites. :)
Insert JonTron's "children-with-no-necks" joke from his Plug n' Play video.
now I wanna see jirard play rayman
17:38 "It was fun revisiting this little *GEM*"
+That One Video Gamer the Independence Day reference at 14:19! Awesome!
Can you play the rest of the Arkham games? That's Arkham Origins, Arkham Knight and Assassins Creed Unity if they've completely slipped your mind.
One of these things is not like the other...
+PeterWatchesTheWatchmen I know, Jirad made a joke in his Arkham Asylum review where he listed all "five" Arkham games, and then mentioned that "they're all awesome... except for Assassins Creed Unity".
This is one of the only times I have disagreed with Jirard. Crash Bandicoot was a good game when it came out... it was one of the must have platform games. The point about the bosses being too easy is countered by the fact the game isn't easy, it gets harder. I feel like had Jirard not played all these games out of sync then he may of had a different view on it. I recently platinumed Crash Bandicoot the remake and it was a pleasure to play again, all the collectibles (gems) gave the game good replay value.
prove it
@@robertogarcia4244 it's been 2 years but I'll enlighten you.
Which part do you want proving?
@@PaulMoss7 you platinuming Crash 1
Great episode! Keep up the great work!
Playstation games : play it
Nintendo games : Complete it, its awesome, is amazing.....
Well this game was garbage and tba most of the N64 games I would say donate it unless its smash, 007, Banjo, Mk64 or conker... those would get play it
+Harley201 boi gtfo
Play Ninja Gaiden Black for the original Xbox immediately. There's no time to waste.
Crash would look horrifying with a neck
So me spamming where's Tales of Symphonia finally payed off. Love you Jirard and I feel I will die just waiting for that review!
"Tawna bonus stages are just for getting bonus fruit and lives"
Oh, and you forgot SAVING!! That moment after you finally beat Slippery Climb and the elation suddenly dissipates as you realize- Oh no! I've only got two lives and I have to EARN my saves!
You really think Croc is a bad game?
Ernest Ross Wyatt, No, I. personally love it, HELL EVEN CADDY LOVES IT!!
ah geez, the day that Symphonia review comes out, I'm going to lose my mind (though if he ever reviews any Syphon Filter game I'll die. just straight up die)
Don't say that. Then he won't review it.
I love Crash Bandicoot. Wish he'd truly return.
That simple and clean reference got me xD
Who else thinks Jirard should review a Shin Megami Tensei game like Nocturne?
I do, but maybe digital devil saga would be easier to explain, as nocturne is technically the third game.
Even still though, Nocturne was my first main series game and (aside from some references like Hijiri's identity) I understood the game fine. DDS is great but Nocturne stands on its own pretty well.
***** yeah same here ( big shift from persona to nocturne but I still love both) I'm not saying the game is bad, but with how the show is setup, it might be easier to start with a side series and work back.
Well, Jirard has been shown to have a Teddie from Persona 4 keychain. Is that close enough?
+KnukkleJoeShow Yeah, I understand what you mean. Fair enough I guess, but either way seeing him do something from SMT would be great.
What Croc Legend of the Gobbles is bad? T^T Why? I thought that game was cute and fun ♡
i fucking LOVE that game
I hear you man, I agree with you
croc 2 is also one of my fav. on the ps1
Tank controls, mainly.
+TrolleyMouse Now I remember the F-ing controls but even with those controls I beat the game with a 100%. It was an enyoable adventure
I love how you include Earthworm Jim for good measure in the games making no sense joke
I would love to see you complete Dark Cloud 2! it would be a real fun episode as there is so much things to do in the game.
APE ESCAPE TRILOGY PLEASE! and thank you
I thought Croc was good...
These videos have essentially become my Saturday morning cartoons. Every Saturday i watch the video that came out the day before.
I just beat the remake of Crash 1 in the N Sane Trilogy last week. Best moment of my life OMG.
The first Crash is my favourite in the series. The way it makes you work for the saves and completion makes it a real challenge. Simple and effective game.
Aww...Crash wasn't complete trash after he was given to Universal, Twinsanity is okay.
I thought TwinSanity was good, but I also never got the chance to play the original Crash games, so I am a bit biased.
2 and 3 hold up extremely well. 1 really is hard to get through, especially due to the horrific save system. Jirard didn't have much of an issue with it as he's kind of amazing at games, but you can get into 2 and 3 today and love them. Give them a go.
I think the gem of the collection is Crash Team Racing. Still nearly unsurpassed as a kart racer, and really innovative in its progression system... wish more racing games had a Mario 64-like hub world with secrets!
I love Twinsanity, the music gets stuck in my head constantly!
Wrath of Cortex is also a great game despite what many people say.
+Matthew Castronova Wrath of Cortex was always my favorite! Do people really think it's a bad game?
OMG JIRARD. THAT KINGDOM HEARTS REFERENCE, BEAUTIFUL. I knew you were referencing it as soon as you said "Simple and Clean". 😂😂😂❤😱
Ahhh... Careless Whisper for the win!! Thanks, Wham!
"Nintendo PlayStation" that just sounds weird
Jirard sounds like he spits on his mic.
Simple and clean is the way that your making me feel tonight
Ha! Loved the Passion/Sanctuary reference @ 07:02
*Insert Jontron reference*
I'LL GET MY SWWWOOOOORRD FOR YOU, DANNY.
that's the right one, yeah?
Mistress Cupcake No, but you get a pass.
"Finally, a game system for ME!"
No, it's a grommet
PeterWatchesTheWatchmen Perfect for children with no necks.
"Pile of trash" You should play Twinsanity before you say that
Twinsanity is literally on the shelf behind him
And tag team racing and titans I liked those they were a breath of fresh air
Excellent video! and I hope you love Tales of Symphonia whenever you play it :)
I loved the Kingdom Hearts reference! XD
Please play buck bumble
Please :( 😢🙁☹️😕
5:51 Tomba? A bad ps1 game?
That Kingdom Hearts reference was great :D
This game is one example where savestates can come in handy if you want to 100% it.
You look stressed. You need to stockpile some episode s and take a vacation.
I think I heard someone say "help me"
THERE ARE SNIPERS ON THE ROOF
you do realize that would require doing the same thing he already does, but faster, right? It would stress him even more lmao
He has a bunch of games he's already completed. He just need to record the live action stuff. I guess he's saving those games for a specific time.
He just completed the first crash bandicoot, he has gone mad probably and he's trying to hide it
wait, I'm preety sure Aku Aku is just a living mask
Great video. I love this game.
This Is A Chanel That Should Have A LOT More Subs! Like IN The 5mil Range
She makes an appearance! in a spin-off game... that no-one has played.
What, Crash bash?
No, i believe its not Crash bash but is a Crash related party game on the Handheld (just searched it up and yes it was "Crash boom bang its called)
Rusty Oh.
please review busby 3d
Why? Everyone knows it's bad.
Yah
+Rainbowforce5 what how dare u that's my favourite game im triggered
YOU DO NOT KNOW THE WAY YOU MUST HAVE EBOLA.
Love the review as always!
I must say, it did make me think how I've thought you understate the difficulty of certain games, but in this I would have to say I think you're entirely overstating the difficulty. The Crash games are on my year or two rotation of games that I always go back to so maybe I'm desensitised to completing it by now (or something) and I concede it's the toughest of the 3. But those gem runs just take a bit of learning the levels, once you can do it you'll do it every time.
I do find the playtime / deathcount ratio to be a little odd in your stats too but I'm just being pedantic haha,. :P
Keep 'em comin' man!
10:15 Whoa, the voice clipping is real, and very noticeable.
I feel like Jirard lies about how many times he dies in a lot of videos.
Sin +1 36 seconds of logos
+10 points for the Simple and Clean joke. Now I'm listening to this song for the first time in months.
9:33 They're noy Woompa fruits THEY'RE APPLES!
Good job for the five of you who got that reference.
is that shaved beard in the intro green screened >:(
3rd one is trash compared to the first two
u wanna fight mate
Whaaaaat?
It's literally just Crash Bandicoot 2 but with more variety to the levels, and, in my humble opinion, somewhat tighter level design (though for the most part it's very comparable if a little derivative). Definitely not 'trash'! And it's VERY Crash. Probably the most bonkers of the lot to be honest, and Crash is all about the crazy.
The third one is the best.
I thought it was ok, Crash 2 was WAAAAAAY better but nothing can be worse then the original... heck I like Crash Bash better then the original at least that game was enjoyable while hard.
Crash 3 isn't that bad, but the level variety can be a pain in the ass, especially the jetski and airplane levels.
It's not a bad game on it's own, but if you decide to go after 105%, then it becomes a whole different thing.
1:02 I love the Bubble Bobble shirt
Lmfao Simple and Clean reference was used so perfectly XD!
From what I remember Aku Aku is helping Crash stop Cortex in order to try and save the Wampa Islands from the pollution of Cortex's powerplant. It's something like that.
You should definitely do Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, the Jak & Daxter series, and Pacman World. Keep up the great videos! :D
the first one is my fav. the hardest.
being able to complete this with 100% in just a few hours is one my proudest accomplishments
I loved this game soo much as a child ! I didn't own it, but my best friend did. The afternoons we spent playing crash, spyro, donkey kong and toy story were just awesome ! =)
