Bad Representative Games

[Moonface]

Ah, geez the Titans games for Crash, I knew it was a good choice to completely avoid them and not just for the designs which was what turned me away from trying them initially, but also gameplay, did not want to give it a chance.

Oh if you think it's only the character designs and gameplay that you dodged a bullet on, I bestow upon your poor soul this utter ruination of Tiny's actual character:

Also I guess I must have really found Tiny bad when I played CotT because I actually thought this moment was in the game that followed, Mind Over Mutant, and that I had never seen it before until I first stumbled upon a YouTube video of it.

Christ Almighty, that's not Tiny Tiger, that's Tingly Tiger. Just...no. 

Yeah, I'd say Tiny got the worst treatment of any character in the Titans games. At least everyone else retains at least something iconic and/or established about themselves.


Surprised I didn't go onto a tangent about it given I mentioned it a few posts ago, but I'd say the Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy (2013, Rise, and Shadow) isn't a good representation of Tomb Raider but they are at least good games. I'd also say Tomb Raider 2 is the worst offender at being a bad representative entry, because it moves so heavily away from exploration in favor of combat against human enemies, and the gunplay of the OG games is not their strong suit. Fortunately they did dial it back with TR3 onwards and tried finding a good middle ground, similar in a way to how Rise and Shadow tried to find a middle ground between the action-adventure of 2013 and the tomb exploration that game sorely lacked in.
