People are fussing about having to use vehicles in a game centered around vehicles because this game is the 5th in a series of games that had nothing to do with vehicles.
And those of us who are fans of Skylanders but are disappointed by Superchargers are allowed to post our opinions here. No apologies to those who don't care for the bad vibes.
All I really needed to enjoy this game were similar arenas to the last two games, but they're gone, and all the cars and racing makes me not even recognize what Skylanders has become. It's silly.
But don't you guys worry, I will be gone soon. At least until stuff starts getting announced for the next game. Just here now because I'm pissed off that my faith in Skylanders was misplaced when I bought this latest game. Here's to hoping TfB rights the ship next year.
Quote: zookinator... What would Swap-Force be without the Swap-Force? Or Trap Team without the Villains? We might not choose to have the gimmick, but we respect it, and we still buy the series so that we can try out the next big thing of Skylanders. Sure, some will rate down lower, and some will be the best. No one game can appeal to everybody. Yours now is Superchargers, with the racing mechanic. I like Mario Kart, so I think I myself will like it.
I respect the way you worded your post. And this point is key. This gimmick is the first one that deviates from the core gameplay this much. All other gimmicks were still characters running around using attacks to fight enemies. Minus the Swap Zones, but Swap Zones were skippable (and believe me, I skipped the heck out them all that I could - that stuff was so silly and boring, on par with the stupid cannon-shooting mini game that Skylanders will seemingly never let go of). But you're right, with this new flavor of gimmick, people are either going to love it or hate it, and I hate it. It was a dangerous move to make a gimmick that deviates so much from what made the game popular.
Better innovations would have stayed focused on the same gameplay, such as Traps like last year, more and better arenas, online in arenas and PvP, more open world stuff, level-builders / creative tools, etc. etc. Things that could still stick to the core gameplay once the action starts. Racing can be had in games like Mario Kart. Or Skylanders Racing could have been a separate game from the series release. All in all, I'm just not a fan of what they did this year, but I love the previous four games. I really thought this game would still have things I'd enjoy. If I had known arenas were gone, I wouldn't have bought it. That's partly my bad though... I should have done more research.
@samuraituretsky, its good to finally see more people coming forth and saying they are not happy and are very disappointed in this game. you should definivite not leave because of people here dont accept bad vibes, you have the right to be here even if you dont like the game.... anyway i agree with everything you say, i also hope for a better game with tfb skylanders6.
