darkSpyro

I've seen a lot of people (especially around here) who say that they don't like this trilogy because it changed a platformer into a combat based game, but I think people are too harsh on this trilogy.

People like to say that the gameplay is too different and that it isn't true to the series roots. But the boost gameplay in the daytime stages is just as fast if not faster than the games before it, even Unwiished and the mobile version are quite fast.

The nighttime stages are mostly about slower paced combat though, but there is still a good amount of platforming to do in all 3 games, I guess people expected more after the disaster that was 2006.

The story wasn't "cringe", sure the Werehog was a weird idea but the way Sonic is able to adapt to those changes shows good character growth, it was also pretty sad when chip sacrificed himself to save Sonic, the character development was excellent and the risks in the story payed off.

Overall, people don't give the trilogy a chance, but what do you think? I'd like to hear some general discussion.

you're not alone

what's funny to me is this. despite the fact that everyone loves making fun of the legend of spyro series but the games did just as well and better than what spyro was post-enter the dragonfly in a general sense. old topic... //forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=12983

dawn of the dragon, who gets the most hate, did far better than a hero's tail or the handhelds (obviously but still) and would've been considered success financially. it was enough to spawn a now cancelled movie but that can be attributed to activision/skylanders.

enter the dragonfly was the last acceptable sales and honestly since the first one it kept getting worse, instantly it dropped for 2 and year of the dragon.

on a non sales level

most people can't even remember the story yet still mock it. there's a lot of thing that actually do make more sense in it than people thought. not saying it's not all over the place, but the story is still coherent.

also what are we comparing it to again?

this as the script for the first game in cutscenes?

Intro
=====
D: Okay, rolling.
1: Oh, it's been peaceful here in the 5 worlds, or is it 6, uh, for a
dragon's age! We now have 12,000 treasure... or, is it 14,000...
I: What about this Gnasty Gnorc character? Now, I understand he's found a
magic spell to turn gems into warriors for his cause.
2: I'll take that question. Gnasty Gnorc is a simple creature.
G: Simple!?
2: He has been contained in a remote world, and is no threat to the dragon
kingdom.
G: No threat!?
2: Besides, he is ugly.
G: Ugly!? That does it!
S: Looks like I've got some things to do.

Outro (without 100%)
=====
S: Sorry I took so long, I kind of forgot about you.
I: So...what about Gnasty Gnorc?
S: Gnasty Gnorc? He's toast!
I: So now is there order again in the dragon kingdom?
S: Well, mostly. I still have some treasure to pick up.
I: What will you do next?
S: I'd say the sky's the limit.

Outro (with 100%)
=====
I: Spyro the Dragon, you've defeated Gnasty Gnorc, collected the dragon eggs,
saved all the dragons, and collected every bit of treasure in the dragon
kingdom. How do you feel?
S: I feel fired up, Bob. And I'm happy for the dragon world of course. I
certainly wouldn't want to stand the rest of my dragon days butting heads
with Gnasty Gnorc and his weird minions.
I: What's a minion?
S: Uh, Never mind. You know what they say: For every good battle, you need a
good adversary. And I felt that Gnasty, in spite of his misguided nature,
was a worthy opponent. Uggh...uh-oh, here we go again!

done. quality.

i love spyro 1, 2, 3, and 4 but just saying... spyro was never a story teller. lol

also i'm completely aware the first post itself is a joke which is why i thought i would ruin the fun by making a serious post lol

I loved the original three games the best out of the Spyro series, but I really loved and enjoyed the TLoS series. I've played through it several times. TEN was definitely my favourite, followed by ANB. I liked the combat style and enjoyed the story. I honestly wish DotD had of been made by the same studio as I really didn't like the way the characters looked, nor did I like the overall game play. They built Malefor up to seem really powerful, but the battle against him was weak. The first time I played it, I actually managed to get behind him, but he couldn't turn around, so I beat him within seconds. ANB and TEN were amazing, in my opinion, but DotD was garbage. The levels were cool, but it really ruined the trilogy for me :/

for those of you interested in TLoS' art and who have not seen it yet. check out jared pullen's dA page. (this is the actual art director for the first two games but he does speak somewhat on DotD as well. https://www.deviantart.com/that-spyro-guy

Quote: JCW555

Overall I echo Bolts thoughts. I thought the first two were serviceable God of War clones, but DOTD threw whatever good AND and TEN had out like bathwater. I've always hated when people said "Ohhh, DOTD sold 2.5 million units*, it wasn't a failure" and to that I say "DOTD was on 5 consoles". Averaging that out will yield 500K sold per console. That's really not impressive.

* may not be accurate, but whatever.

don't matter much to the company so long as they make that money though.

my biggest thing has always been the comparison? what is classic spyro that makes it so significantly better? those are hardly video games and hardly stories themselves.

spyro was just never a big successful hit during his entire lifespan.

this is how a game company makes money. https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy

final fantasy 7 over the years for instance has taken in over 11mil alone which is more than all of spyro's games combined.

*though i've always preferred classic for the most part lol. the arguments just never made sense to me

----

another thing i find funny is that darkSpyro is the biggest pool of hate for TLoS, yet, there was never a time that darkSpyro itself was more active than in the days between TEN/DOTD/Skylanders.

Sony disagrees with you.







Also classic Spyro is hardly a video game? All you do in them is platform. Also playing platformers for story is kinda weird?

sony's opinion continued plus nintendo









fight me

so then why are people comparing apples to oranges between classic and legend? if you say legend sucked as an rpg in comparison to say pokemon or final fantasy but comparing classic/legend don't work then. *not you i'm mentioning other opinions here.

It was skraight I guess

I like LoS, but my guy DotD did very piss poor. No source of the sales it had on the 5-6 consoles. Graphically for the time it was more dated than the bagels that I forget to eat and a lot of things spewed are contradictory af.

I like TLOS.


For very subjective reasons.


I always thought the Krome artstyle was neat. The world was also really easy for me to imagine things in -- TLOS fancomics on DA certainly influenced this. It was impactful for me the first time I played it because it was one of the nice things I did with my dad. We have a strained relationship right now, so my memories of TLOS (and Spyro in general) are also some of my best memories with him.

I played it again a couple of years ago. I had an ok time. The only negative things I remember are disliking the freeflight and invisible walls in DOTD. That, and using long-range lightning attacks to cheat that one arena near the end of ETN. Oh, and the understandable plot-holes caused by the change in studios. I think I might replay TLOS soon, so I'm curious to see what my impressions are with this play-through.

I was also fascinated by Malefor and the lore behind him. I think my signature makes that obvious.

Reveal Spoiler

also i like console etn and etd so i apparently have low standards when it comes to games

ooooooh, there is someone else who still likes TLoS. or isn't afraid to say they like it anyway. agree with the free flight/walls thing you said.

Malefor was an amazing villain. one of my all time favorites actually. I hadn't noticed that's what your signature was all about. lol

subjective is a key word for entertainment honestly. what is good and bad is subjective to the individuals interpretation.

Honestly, I like the games that came out after the original three more than...well, the original three. I think Dawn of the Dragon stuck out to me the most because of Cynder's personality, the graphics (they amazed me as a child), and the story. I also liked the character Spyro has become (from what I knew, since back then I mainly...focused on Cynder...)

Also the ending of DotD made me love the Spyro games more. Now, being a teenager who understands the ending more... THE ENDING OF THE GAME IS SO SAD AND KIND OF...INSPIRING? IN A WAY?

I've never played any of the games all the way through, though, so I'm basing all these opinions based on what I've seen online and heard from others lol

I will say that, in being a Certified TLoS Hater, I still love ANB despite it's faults and I think the art direction is beautiful. I'm still inspired by a lot of the environments in the games to this day. Cynder is also one of my favorite characters from anything ever, I just want her to be in something that treats her arc with more care and respect than what we got.

These days though, it has become increasingly difficult for me to defend it. They squandered their budget on getting prolific actors like Mark Hamil (whose voice they distorted to being unrecognizable anyway), and as such couldn't spend as much on giving the game the serious care it needed. They had to remove an extremely story-important cutscene from Dawn of the Dragon due to lack of budget (you know how Cynder just randomly has her jewelry back? yeah, that's why). If if weren't for poor planning and management on the devs' part, that would have never happened.

And even before the developer switch, the games contradicted themselves. Never forget how Ignitus said in ANB that a new purple dragon is born every ten generations, but TEN says that Malefor was the first one - an error that is unfortunately kept consistent in DoTD.

I've seen people say this multiple times over the years - specifically throwing around that it sold like 2 mil or so - and I must ask: Where's the source for this information? I did some research and I couldn't find any reliable source offering sales figures for Dawn of the Dragon. In fact, the only source I DID find (which is unreliable mind you, but still the only one) says that it sold 0.44m.

And if it really did sell 2 million units... that's actually still kind of bad, taking into consideration the fact that it was available for 5 consoles.

If I'm being honest though, all this talk of sales is irrelevant anyways. Selling well isn't necessarily indicative of quality, and people are allowed to dislike something regardless of how well it sells. Skylanders sold extraordinarily well (at least near the beginning) and that's never stopped anyone from tearing into it before.

This is true, the originals were never big on story - it was always something extremely simplistic and straightforward. You wouldn't see me or anyone else who criticizes these games acting the same towards OG Spyro's story because the story wasn't the driving point of those games. But TLoS isn't the classic games, and it's clear that the devs were taking themselves way more seriously than the low-poly Spyro of old. They wanted to craft a dramatic story, and with that they opened the floodgates for more serious criticism.

Times change. I've talked to a few people on here who used to love the TLoS series when they were teens, but don't like it nearly as much these days. A lot of people were teens when those games came out, I'd say it's been long enough for people to have changed their minds on it.

That's not to say you're not allowed to like it, though. I totally get why people do. But I don't get why they're so defensive when people express their own negative feelings on it.

Wait, if you don't think people should compare TLoS to the OG games when criticizing it, then why did you say people shouldn't be so harsh on the story of TLoS because of the classic games? That seems like a contradiction.

I do agree that people often compare the two way too much when expressing their distaste for it. TLoS only ever made references to the originals, it wasn't trying to be like them because at that point Vivendi had given up on the classic formula. But I don't think it's wrong to make any comparison at all - Final Fantasy and Pokemon are different series, but the classic and TLoS games are in the same series. If, for example, an individual's opinion on why they don't like the Legend games relies on the context that they don't think the change of tone and gameplay was a good direction for the Spyro to take, I don't think it would be wrong to bring up the series' past.

also spyro is gay

Quote: Clank

also spyro is gay

on sales,

i have no source, just the topic, and the knowledge from when it came out. never heard nothing about 2mil though lol

on story,

no my point was grained in the fact people once upon a time (i've been with this site since 07/08) used to defend classic with it's story.

on times change,

that's fine i simply made the point that dS was TLoS central once upon a time. lol

on apples and oranges,

no contradiction whatsoever. i replied based on what was said to me.

on gay,

no u gay

also stuff and nonsense alert

ok zoomer spyro is gay regardless

funny enough, if you walk outside of dS the hate for legend is not a fierce as frequently. except reddit probably because reddit hates everything

In all seriousness, I genuinely enjoyed a more traditional fantasy take on Spyro. I'm also one of the apparent few who liked the combat and mechanics. DotD's felt a little clunky but the first two were good enough to make up for it IMO.

However, looking back, the OG games were definitely more fun and honestly, more memorable.

Hunter: WHOAOAOAOAO!
Spyro: It's just a float, you scaredy-cat.
Hunter: They sure do look happy, don't they Spyro?
Spyro: Well, it's not every day that a dragon gets his dragonfly.
Sparx: -****ing buzzing or some ****-
Spyro: Uh, right Sparx.
Ripto: So, we met again little dragon. I'm back, and I'm STRONGER than ever!
Spyro: Who are you calling little, shorty? Nobody invited you; this is an invitation-only party.
Ripto: Very clever, dragon. You know, you should join me - we would make a great team.
Spyro: Whaddya want this time, Ripto?
Gulp: Uh, yeah! Wh-wh-what do we want this time, boss?
Ripto: You're not hired for your brains, you dinosaurian land mass! Keep thinking and I will send you back to the place I found you - unemployed in Molten Crater, begging for work from Gnasty Gnorc!
Now, back to what I was saying. WELLLL, what DO I want this time? I'm glad that you asked purple PEST, and I would be happy to demonstrate. Since I've had enough to do with dragons I thought... perhaps... DRAGONFLIES! MUAHAHAHAHAHHA!
-dragonfly buzzing-
Ripto: -clears throat- Well, uh, that wasn't supposed to happen, BUT... you see, without the power of dragonflies the dragons are NOTHING. Soon, the dragon homelands will be mine. MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA!
Hunter: Spyro, that little lizard TOTALLY stole ALL the dragonflies; even Sparx is gone!
Bianca: Spyro, Hunter, don't worry. I think I know where to start. Follow me!
Spyro: Sparx! I thought I'd lost you, pal.
Sparx: -buzzing-
Bianca: That was close, Sparx. Listen, I think I may have figured out a way to catch those dragonflies. SPYRO, stand back.
Spyro: Whoa! What'd you do that for?!
Bianca: Drat! That didn't exactly work right. I'm still learning you know, Spyro. The good news is I've created a powerful magic that will enable you to use different breath abilities. The bad news is, you're gonna have to find Dragon Runes to use them, since the spell scattered them in different parts of the Dragon Realms.
Spyro: Cool! C'mon Sparx, let's get going! We've got a lotta work ahead of us if we wanna find those dragonflies. Do you think we'll ever get a day off?

The last two visitors came up to me with something shaped like a revolver. I immediately took out my mysterious rune book and commanded it to transform itself into an advanced cosmic cannon. I pointed the cannon at the door as it opened and fired.

A blinding blast of light shone and destroyed the ruined door and there was a scream of flame and flames. That moment the golden arched door shimmered and golden light had replaced it.

The guests were seated on the benches in the middle of the room with the terrace leading to the first level on the right. I laid out the first menu of my dining set which was furnished with

ANB and TEN were actually rather entertaining. DotD was a complete disaster that was only passable with 2 player solution. They should have let Krome handle everything.

What if there was a competitive dynamic to the 2 player? As in, you could fight each other? And play online like that with a custom dragon like Spyro's Lair?

If DOTD ended with Spyro and Cynder fighting to the death instead of falling in love, that'd redeem the entire game.
