i think i'd know that.
i call it trolling. mostly because if you don't read someone's post, in which they typed out and wasted their time, you don't have to let them know that you're too lazy or stupid to read it.

Or, I'm just letting them know that their post is way longer than it needs to be.

Seriously, I don't need you to right an essay to tell me you prefer the Classics over LoS. It's not that hard to grasp why people might prefer Classics to Legend. smilie

well, you should've told them that, instead of "tl;dr". i just consider it rude (no offense, of course). :/

they can give an "essay" if they want, giving their opinion. i guess that's just my opinion.
don't you, sometimes, give lost posts too, though?

okay, then. it's rude.
i apologize, i just always considered "tl;dr" a trolling thing. probably because i've seen people use it for trolling on dA and such.
but thanks for understanding. ^-^

It sure does take a lot of effort to right a massive rant.

Like NEW_SpyroLUVA, I used to like TLOS back in 2006, when I was a lot younger. I enjoyed ANB, but that was really only because I was convinced that ANB was a prequel to STD.

Even now, I still find the first half of ANB to be descant, but that's all I like about TLOS. Oh, I also like Dark/Adult/Corrupted/whatever Cynder. But other than that, I hate the series.

The main reason I didn't like TLOS was not only because of its deference to the first three, but also because of its horrible game-play. Having to press that circle button over and over as well as a boring combat system gets really boring and repetitive fast. The overused plot and dull characters don't help ether. And every time Malefor spoke, he just added a whole pile of plot-holes onto the game. The plot holes in DOTD were very horrible, Spyro and Cynder not being able to fly over a building/belt of fire and Ignitus dying in a fire being the worse.

Well, it's a tactic that my friends and I created, it also works on the Elemental Dragon in TEN.

Get to the side of her and repetitively do a jump then attack as many times as possible before landing. When you land, keep walking into her, as she cannot attack you from the exact angle you're in if you do it right. Keep doing the jump, attack, land, walk, then repeat.

Most of the time when I do that, I can get in a glitch spot that is basically on top of her, where you can just spam the melee button or magic button to finish her off, though the glitched spot makes Spyro look as if he's.......mount-ain-dew-ing her.

I came up with all of that but the name, as my friend pointed out.

Prysom, do you want to see the move or Spyro mount-ain do-ing Cynder?

Also, there's something like that in the Ravage Rider boss fight in TEN. If you do it right, you get stuck in the air behind his ship and can just melee him repeatedly. In ANB you can take out the Earth sentinel pretty easily if you stand between its legs and melee with lightning.

Speaking of the Ravage rider, I forgot to mention that they did copies like that throughout LOS.
Ravage Rider(TEN)=Steam(ANB )
Elemental Dragon(TEN)=Cynder(ANB ) (I know the thing was supposed to be like Cynder, but couldn't they have done something new with the fight?)
Reused Tall Plains music in DotD (on the way to Hermit's lair)
Reused Gaul boss music in DotD (Destroyer boss battle)

Mount-ain dew-ing The ANB epic as hell looking boss Cynder.

And let us never forget... The "Destroyer" was essentially The Balrog from LOTR with a different name.
LevanJess Emerald Sparx Gems: 3516
#78 Posted: 18:01:04 17/09/2011
^ agreed.

another thing i dislike about TLoS (DotD especially) is the annoying opera music and how much they reused tracks, and only added a few new ones.

i heard they reused tracks in the Classics, but i, personally, love the Classics music, so i didn't care. they didn't reuse too much anyways.

EDIT: and i was ninja'd. i meant "agreed" to NEW_SpyroLUVA's post. :P

also, the "mount-ain dew-ing" thing sounds pretty awesome, i should try that.

Some fans who think the publisher should listen to their every whim on what they desperately want in a Spyro game and then getting all mad and upset when a Spyro game doesn't have what they desire in it by sending death threats and hate mail to the devs gives off the impression of those fans being somewhat selfish.



Some people realize that the way you are phrasing this is a use of weasel words, vague manipulative words masking bias via an assignment of a nebulous or ambiguous demographic (e.g. some people), a type of misleading and biased device in writing.

Other people notice a lack of proper grammatical flow in your sentence, A better way to put it would have been: "Some fans think the publisher should listen to their every whim regarding what they want in a Spyro game. When a Spyro game does not have what they desire, the fans become upset and retaliate by sending death threats and hate mail to the developers, giving the impression that those fans are selfish."

Your sentence structure was lacking, the use of both mad and upset together is redundant, you had improper punctuation, you formed a run-on sentence, and you used once sentence where three or more would have been more proper. As for the content, it shows that, more or less, you have equally strong feelings against Skylanders.

However, if you had read the topic properly, you would have noted it was a discussion of preferences and debate about the Classic Spyro series and Legend of Spyro series, and Skylanders was neither the original topic nor was it a major point of concern within the posts.

She made a better villain than both, Gaul and Malefor. But her battle was easy and boring. Malefor's fight was worse than Cynder's. Gaul's fight was the best, and I actually had fun with TLOS for the first time since the first half of ANB (where it was light hearted and Spyro's classic personality shone through at times).

She was the biggest threat to Spyro in ANB than Malefor in DotD and Gaul in TEN. Cynder also did most of the work while Malefor used her and sat in his prison.
