Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time

All The Bandicoot Ladies

Girls Night Out Strikes Again!

Went on a small Bandicoot adventure tonight! Rescued a mask, died a ridiculous amount of tines, and even got to play as someone new-ish!

You get to play as Tawna! Well, kinda… she’s from another universe. Instead of getting captured, she actually deals a good chunk of kickass to enemies, literally. She also has a grappling hook thing that can also be used for punching baddies and far away crates. I played one of her alternate timeline missions tonight. I think I got enough out of my system for one night, even played a little linger than expected… damn dying.

Girls Night Out in Crash 4!

Figured out how to get mods to work! Modding newer unreal engine games is surprisingly easy when the game allows for it. I decided to make it a Girls Night Out! I’ll be transferring a small collection I’m accumulating over to my Steam Deck, and maybe the TV.

Twice The Crashing!

by

I made time to do Crash on the couch with some Crash! I’ve been playing a little here and there, some on Steam Deck, some on Desktop, and tonight a little bit on a big TV.  Next time I play I’ll have some fun mods to look at. The Nexus seems to have more than the one for N.Sane Trilogy.

Of course, I’ve also been plinking away at Crash Bandicoot 2 in the N.Sane Trilogy, simultaneously yelling fuck at the screen constantly and having a good time. I’m trying to get all of the gems, when I played the original back on the PS1 I never did get all the gems. The gem hunting is making me a little tired, though. It’s been a long day, and a little bit of reliving my childhood helped me forget the stupid, for a little while anyway.

New Ways To Crash

Crash looking onward towards a bunch of pretty lights emitting from an evil castle.

I decided to spend the Sunset part of my evening playing Crash Bandicoot 4, I got it over my vacation from a friend as a present! It runs nicely on my 4K Desktop, still need to try it out on Deck. I had a friend watch me play it, and it does take some getting used to. They changed the game mechanics a bit by adding double jumping and reality phasing.

By equipping a special mask, it allows you to shift between dimensions and access ethereal looking platforms and crates. Part of me always wanted to stand inside of a Nitro box. :v I played a few levels before deciding to call it a night. Let’s see how long I can last on Retro Mode! 😛

Now it’s time for me to crash for realz.
