Well, that explains a lot. I definitely felt like something was "off". And this is a common feeling with a lot of remakes/re-masters. The physics and mechanics are different feeling, which always throws me for a loop.
That’s the feeling I had when I played the remaster on ps4. I guess I was a lot more patient when I was younger.
I feel the same way, just in general really. When I was a kid, there was copious amounts of unlimited time and I have WAY more energy, so I could sit there for hours upon hours, soaking up entire days playing video games. Working full time as an adult, when I get home I just want to relax and when I'm off I want to be out doing things. And on top of that video games don't really hold my attention much anymore, unless its something that really resonates.
With Crash remake, I anticipated it for months. Got it, played it for like an hour, and then put it down.
