I don't exactly like Activision, no. Not enough to hate them. But that troll just blurted that I liked Activision or something because of a few comments about the raging fanbase on my skylander video comments.

Note how he has no videos and 8 subs. I only looked at his channel for 15 seconds and I already knew he wasn't as good as you. At least you upload stuff.

I left a comment asking why he was trolling people that like Skylanders. But he has comment approval, so my comment won't appear.

I said:

"I heard you've been trolling people that like Skylanders."

That kinda tells him that I don't like what he's doing, and that I want to know why. But since he put comment approval, he'll easily disapprove my comment, and it will never see the light of day.

lol and now a youtuber, who is dedicated to hating Activision, thinks I'm "selfish" for looking forward to playing Skylanders...

"Spyro is a character made to be enjoyed by all audiences. Insomniac games, the original creators, have always stated this, as have the newer developers.
Skylanders is targeted at small children primarily. As for those 32 figures you mentioned, of course it isn't required to have them all, but some kids will want to. You oughta see where I'm getting at.

You're the one who's being selfish right now, pal. If Activision wanted to make a watered down platforming game with 32 collectible figures and a portal that'll probably cost a heap, they could've EASILY spawned a new franchise. Why did they pick Spyro? You say it must be because they care. Truth is, they don't. They simply stuck a familiar logo on a product that's yet to be proven. They were sailing in unexplored waters so they took a short cut.
You act as if this has been all throught well through. They didn't create this idea around Spyro. The idea to lure people into buying their toys came first and the idea to stick Spyro in there came last. Open your eyes, man."

smilie Correction. HE needs to open his eyes. And I just corrected him that Insomniac never owned Spyro too.

And he thinks I'm "selfish", when it's the other way around.

1. Yes, kids are going to want to have them all even though you don't need them. That's how Activision is going to get money. It's actually a genius idea.
2. Like you said, Insomniac never owned Spyro.
3. How can a person be selfish for liking a game?
4. Yes, they put Spyro in for marketing purposes, AND to try and get his franchise going again, so they can get double the money from Skylanders, and Spyro's future games. Again, a good idea.
5. Don't tell someone to open their eyes when you haven't already.
6. Link me to his comment. I want to message this to him.
Aura24 Platinum Sparx Gems: 6561
#65 Posted: 18:20:03 26/03/2011
Actually, it was on a pm. I posted on his channel about him posting negative comments on Skylanders all over my videos, and he replied to me about it through pm. Just thought I share his response to you guys.

He goes by the name of ThePieIsLie.

Yeah, fans who are dedicated to hating Activision, are viewing all games published by the game company as bad or more ways to get money from our pockets.. And I don't see anything bad about Skylanders.

I left him a comment:

Quote:
I heard that you were calling a friend of mine selfish for liking Skylanders. May I ask how does that work? How can you be selfish for liking a game. That's like calling me selfish for liking Army of Two.

Plus, Insomniac never owned the franchise. They only made the first 3 games.

And yes, while you don't need all of the figures, kids will buy them. That's why Activision came up with that in the first place. It gets them more money. Along with that, it's been told that if the game is successful, and people like Spyro in the game, they will make a brand new Spyro game for himself, while Skylanders goes on as it's own franchise. Again, it's actually a good move on Activision's behalf.

Don't tell someone to open their eyes when you aren't making much sense yourself. Thank you and have a nice day.

Oh, and don't think I like Activision. I dispise them for their business decisions and the way they milk certain franchises, and leave others to rot.

But it makes sense, and it's a reasonable argument. Maybe only to me then. ._.
I thought most of them were complaining about Spyro's design.
CAV Platinum Sparx Gems: 6289

It does make sense, but there's a counter-arguement for it. And calling someone selfish when they clearly aren't doesn't put you in good standing.

He's not selfish. He's just not making any sense. He'd only be selfish if he was trying to make the game his way.

It was? I didn't know that they used fan ideas, I thought they just followed the story the way it was made.
CAV Platinum Sparx Gems: 6289
#78 Posted: 19:07:12 26/03/2011
No. They used ideas from the fans to help make it. And as you can see, most fans hate the game. That's why they aren't listening to the fans this time.

#79 Posted: 19:07:35 26/03/2011
It was confirmed that they weren't expecting the LoS to continue as a trilogy.

No, you can say they were going to end it at ANB. It was set as the beginning of the LoS universe after all..

Ohhhhh wow, I never knew that. Actually, the end of ANB could have been the perfect ending. But tbh, i'm glad they continued it from there, I think TEN and DotD made it into a good trilogy. Anyway, i think I'm making this off topic.

The question I've always wondered about is, if DotD was made by fan ideas, was it the fans' idea to create the designs for Spyro, and particularly Cynder? Or did EL do that themselves? I'm convienced to believe the latter since so many people seem to hate the DotD design of Cynder, and it seems to outweigh those whom like it. But if they did get the idea from the fans, it will make the entire fanbase look like a bunch of hypocrites....

Maybe I'm just looking too far into things.
Aura24 Platinum Sparx Gems: 6561
#85 Posted: 20:05:04 26/03/2011
EL did the designs of Spyro and Cynder.

lol that youtuber I told you guys about thinks he's talking to a brick wall when I talked to him about Insomniac never owning Spyro:

"I feel like I'm talking to a wall. First of all, Insomniac CREATED the character and the world of Spyro, and to me, that matters a lot more than who published the games at the time. Were the publishers the creative force behind it all? No. And second, is Activision merging with Vivendi supposed to justify anything?"

#89 Posted: 20:39:54 26/03/2011
I don't think so. They just altered their designs into their style, and the fans didn't like their style of Spyro & Cynder because they made their colors a bit off and messed up the anatomy.
Like brawler said, I think the only fan ideas they took were free flight and co-op, but it seems like they had co-op in mind seeing how TEN ended.
CAV Platinum Sparx Gems: 6289
#90 Posted: 20:48:42 26/03/2011
lolnope.

Insomniac made the game based on an outline. Ergo, they followed directions, and took things from there. And that still doesn't mean Insomniac owned the franchise.
Aura24 Platinum Sparx Gems: 6561
#91 Posted: 20:51:31 26/03/2011
He's so convinced in his own beliefs of Insomniac owning the full rights to Spyro, that he won't accept the fact that Spyro was never owned by the game developer...

It's too funny how he's trying to be some sort of figure that gets someone to look at things with a broader perspective, when he doesn't even know how developers don't own the franchises.

Much like how the rest of the Spyro fanbase are thinking, wanting Insomniac to make more Spyro games when they obviously never owned the license.

His PM to me regarding my comment:

Quote:
Regarding that "selfish" remark, it began with your friend.

I'll quote the original comment I deleted off my profile:
"Your little comment is the same kind of comment the majority of the fanbase has been spouting nonsense about all because it isn't the type of Spyro game they so selfishly want like it's the game company's job to listen to selfish Spyro fans to their fan ideas and picky suggestions.. "

So, calling me and many others selfish for criticizing what Skylanders is doing with the Spyro franchise is apparently alright. But me calling him(or her?) selfish for completely ignoring the fact that not everybody wants this to happen (and even downright insulting us), that's apparently not alright.

This argument is getting a bit tired on both sides to be honest...

On another matter. Wouldn't it make much more sense to you if this game was simly called "Skylander adventures" and would feature an ensemble cast with Spyro in a guest crossover? I mean, seeing as he's just one out of 32 possible characters?


My response:

Quote:
Well it's kinda true. This game is suppose to be based off of the original games by Insomniac. But most people won't accept it because of his design or because certain characters are missing. You guys are being picky. And for some of the stupidest reasons. She's just pointing it out. I'm doing the same.

And while I understand why you would respond to her comment, I don't get how she's being selfish for liking the game. And it's not like we're ignoring the people that give good reasons for not liking the game. Gameplay not looking good, price being a bit too steep, and such are good reasons. But most fans are simply *****ing because of a character's design, don't explain themselves, and think that they are right and anyone that thinks otherwise is an idiot.

It is getting tiresome. So are the comments about how "SPYRO'S DEAD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Spyro was put in there to gain recognition from critics and fans. And as you can see, it's working. And they already stated that if the game sells well, Skylanders will be it's own franchise. And if the response to Spyro is well and people want more, Spyro will go his seperate way and get a new game. It's all a plan made by Activision, and so far it's the only time where I actually think they're doing a good job.
Darby Platinum Sparx Gems: 5738
#97 Posted: 22:44:25 26/03/2011
That last bit is why I don't mind Skylanders. Spyro will get his own game (most likely) after this game- if it's successful- that is.

Fans also sugested:
- Bring back old characters (with Hunter being the most popular)
- Main enemy type other than apes.
- Final boss fight while flying
- More platforming
- After effects from furies (see TEN, electric fury inparticular cause enemies that get near you to be shock for a short time afterwards)

Fight and platforming are good ideas, but things get messy when you try to mix them.

Bringing back old characters didn't effect gameplay.

There were too many ape enemy types, so this was a nice change.

Final boss fight while flying....bit particular, but it makes sense.

More platforming? Why the hell not!?smilie

I don't think the last one happens in DotD.

So yeah, I don't see how these things caused people to hate the game.
