Is coco someone you have to unlock or can you play as her regardless, and does it have an effect on any scenes that would normally have coco in them?

You can play as Coco anytime except for boss fights (and the hog riding levels) in any of the 3 games. You unlock her in each one after beating a couple levels.

Also, Crash 1 is still brutally goddamn hard, and that physics tweak I mentioned is not helping matters! It is still a blast though.

Mostly I wanna know how the start of Crash 2 plays out if you're playing as Coco, like if Coco is just there telling Coco to go fetch her stuff or what :P Or if you get holographic messages from Coco telling Coco not to trust Cortex.

You don't switch from the menu, you do it in the warp rooms (or on the main map in Crash 1) by hitting R2, so you can't play as Coco until you get there.

edit: Although I'm not sure about the holographic messages, I have to get there first! I assume they just left it as is though. :sweatdrop:

edit again: Oh yeah, actually, those happen after boss fights, so you can't be playing as Coco when you get them either. I guess they thought about that!

I have forced myself awake several times because I was convinced I had dreamed a great novel/movie/short story idea. Then I wake up and rush to the notepad and it's basically "Beef..... stew".

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Man, Yakuza 0 is just not doing it for me. I know that I'm early in the game (chapter 5-ish) but it's such a boring string of the same quest design: go to a place, read a bunch of dialogue, fight some goons, read more dialogue. It just feels so slow after playing through Horizon that I'd prefer it if the battles were a little longer so there'd be something to do. That might sound stupid considering how many minigames there are, but I really just want something to happen that's going to get me hooked. I've resolved to play through to at least getting the money-making projects unlocked for both characters, because so far I feel like I'm in an extended tutorial that all but asks me to introduce myself to everyone in town.

I kinda burned out and stopped playing at the end of chapter 6. Its hilarious but its not particularly fun to play. You can really tell its a polished Ps3 game and that lack of refinement is easy to see. I still think its brilliant but its a game you really need to be in the mood for.

What kind of Crash Souls builds are you guys using? I've got Coco at 30 vit, 30 faith, and the holy moonlight sword but I'm contemplating restarting for a dex build.

Dex builds are a trap in Crash 2 and 3. Best to focus on a spin and bop strat and keep your endurance at a level where you can wear the best high tops and longest arms you can find.

Crash may be a nice bit of nostalgia but I think Knack 2 is the real competition for Super Mario Odyssey

Knack 2 is also actually like Dark Souls in that you parry enemy attacks and use swords

Nah memory cards were a thing from day 1 of PS1, not all early games used them though. I wonder if the weird saves in Crash 1 were because of that crazy hardware bug they found making the game.
