NOTE: The Death Counter is off by 1, so I will be reuploading this with a correct death counter. Until then, sit back and enjoy! Thanks to nomad510, BeAwesomeOne, and Fred Fuchs for the ideas!
There is literally nothing wrong with farming for lives. Hell, the developers even included a farming mechanic into their own game through the green gem in the castle machinery stage.
9:05 Actually, you can die and still get a gem..If it's before you get a checkpoint. See, the reason you can't get the gem if you die, is because, when you die, all the boxes respawn. So if you die before getting a checkpoint, you still have a chance of getting a gem. EDIT: I went back and checked by playing it myself, doing that exact level: Yes, you can get a gem even if you die during a level, as long as the only deaths in the level are before you hit a checkpoint.
Magitek1112 Pretty much this explains it. You still can get the gem if you die before getting the first checkpoint in the level. If you die after getting the first checkpoint in the level, you have to start over.
Saves you a lot of time when you screw up even by accident. Huge time waster without it; wiith that orange wisdom, it's good to play Crash Bandicoot 1 all over again. ;P
To address the confusion at 9:02, He died, yes, and when you die in Crash 1, *every* box that was previously broken will respawn. My guess is that he died, and started over from the beginning, and *(DEFYING ALL ODDS FOR HIS SKILL)* ran through it all in one fell swoop.
1:25 That has got to be one of the biggest fails I have ever seen. How could he lose to a freaking crab of all enemies. That's like dying to a Goomba in Mario. It's the weakest enemy in the game.
Jmario232 The first goomba in any mario game. I despise losing to it, unfortunately it happened to me once (out of 1000+). I also hate dying on the first level of the day. I play a little level to warm me up everyday.
He did the exact same thing in later Crash games. I believe its him trying to be funny and show that he fails on purpose thinking it will make him look better later on.
Please stop busting your nuts every time you die. *EDIT:* This was the very first DSP video I have ever seen. I have never heard of this guy or his backstory before watching this a year ago. I honestly thought that this was a fail-montage of Freddy Fazfuck himself playing.
Great edit of his bugged LP. I thank anyone who has endure this guy's LP of a great childhood classic. Also, to correct you on the gem he got, you can die and get the gem, but it has to happen before you touch the first checkpoint of the stage. If you get the first checkpoint, you have to not die and get all the boxes if you want to get the gem, it doesn't matter if you die before the checkpoint, you must not die after you get the first checkpoint. I hope that helps. =)
Funny how he managed to get the gem in Boulders while others just die in that level Fun fact: you can die as much as you want if you haven't broken a checkpoint box, but once you break one and you die you can't get the gem anymore.
+Cloakstorm Pretty much yes, except for the mistake Fazfuck made in 9:02, which wasn't really a fuck-up by Phil. The rule of breaking the crates without dying doesn't come to effect until you reach the first checkpoint.
Nothing wrong with watching people suck at a game they play for the first time. Sometimes they can be really hillarious and engaging. When I watched vargskelethor Joel play crash, it was really funny to see him bash crash. He atleast tried.
39:38 39:43 40:23 40:26 42:17 “Have you learned the basics? Look at your own shadow, combine small jumps with big jumps. Wait on the left or right end, and the hogs will be easier to dodge.” -Aku Aku 1996
idk why but when I was a kid, I always thought those Wooden platforms (the ones you have to use the spin attack on to make them horizontal) were like weird hand things and they creeped me out
9:10 I think you get the gem as long as you break all boxes in a no death run, HOWEVER I think there is a loophole that you can get it even if you do die... unless you hit a checkpoint.
In DSP's defense, loads of PS1 console ports have awful input lag, which he mentions a few times. Then again, he complains about things not registering his inputs in EVERY game he plays.
Update: Considering what happens later during the hog level, I think the fuck up was him realizing his mistake over something that any player would figure out in 1 second instead of like 5 minutes. 2:58-3:01 What did he say that increased the fuck up count? My brain isn’t working properly today so maybe I’m missing something that I already know about.
I wanted to note he has no idea what hard is when he didn't even attempt to collect everything in the game. I recently just 100% the game & it took forever but that's because i stopped when i was young. This game is very easy casually but 100% is a whole other level of difficult
YujiNanaya You know you truly suck at video games when you compared Crash 1 to the Souls games. Maybe 100% Crash 1 is near the same level but playing it just for fun can take you 2-3 hours tops to beat the game.
He still hasn't played it?! Dang it! I wonder, how much deaths and epic fails Phil will get in that game?! Water levels are gonna be the first thing where he will die a lot. Under pressure... Hehe, Area 51? will piss him off...
Laurel Crown LOL! If he decides to do the Platinum Relics, he will say they're IMPOSSIBLE. HAHA!!! I have to say, those levels were simple to me, unless I went for the developers time, theeeeeen that's another story. ;P
DeoxysAndMew 2 Given the gems requires backtracking (due to the Running Shoes being necessary to get most of the relics), he will either A) sucking at it and complain about it, B) quitting after the first Cortex battle or C) having the gem run as Patreon reward
I didn't know how this would go.. I told myself that if he died at the first enemy I'm done... -Proceeds to die at the first enemy. He cannot be this bad...
There's a couple more places you forgot to properly update the Death Counter, like 13:23 and 1:05:13. Also why the hell is Phil trying to censor himself saying stuff like "What the flip"? He's been cussing like an idiot kid for 7 years now. And he still overreacts like the drama queen he is when he dies sometimes. I do love how you show little bits of stream chat getting pissed off at Phil for farming extra lives. (also, do you think he read stream chat before fighting the final boss?)
I'm late but I wanna point out in the beginning when he said he hasn't played it over 20 years ago that when he tried out the controls "X is jump etc" wouldn't he remember what controls do? Oh wait, it's a lie.
Not to nessarly defend Phil but I've played games where I played a few months back and forgot how to do even the basics besides move Though most platformers have A/X jumps
While I enjoy this video I gotta say one critism you have is really unfair. Going back to earlier levels to get extra lives is not "exploiting the game" it's pretty much required and an honest part of the game there's a lot of things to criticise Phil for but pretending you've never gone back to older levels in a platformer to farm lives is bullshit EVERYONE has done that. From super mario world to crash bandicoot
He makes the game even harder for himself. If he press start and select, he can exit the level and go back to get extra lifes so the shitty save system can be bypassed. Nevermind, thanks for the upload. Its made my day :D
Only a fucking 34 year old man think that Crash Bandicoot 1 is harder than Demon/Dark Souls/Bloodborne. Jeez. I was fucking around 4-6 years old when I beat this fucking game with fewer death counts.
