Yeah, you know that I have it.

DotD was kinda slow at first. Picked up rather quickly though.

LOL, yeah!

I just liked the way you were thrown straight into battle with enemies and a giant rock behemoth!

Now I am imagining Spyro shapeshifting to blend in with the military then destroying it from the inside with the power of Hammerfist and fire breath. @_@

It still started off rather slow.

I like the way DotD started off, and then I thought they messed it up when you go to the Dragon City.

Same here. The minute I hit Dragon City is when I start to grow bored of the game very quickly.

I love Dragon City! It's so hectic!
And, the artillery mole is hilarious!

Too hectic in my opinion. It just becomes annoying for me.

I'd say 'irritating', for me anyway. It wasn't hard or anything like that, just boring and repetitive. Ruins were better.

Dragon City was mainly about hectic fighting, while Ruins had hardly any fighting and was more about exploration, puzzle solving, and platforming. I loved both levels.

I haven't played DotD. :/

I'll get to it, though. I just absolutely hated TEN so I never went to DotD (I enjoyed ANB, though)

I'm currently playing through ANB.....there isn't that much platforming or puzzling so far, so for now, I prefer TEN.

DotD is definitely my favourite LoS game. They got the balance in pllatforming and puzzling just right, and the moves and stuff were better.

TEN is near identical to ANB. The only things I find different is the little add ons to TEN (dragon time, convexity, etc) and the difficulty change.

Also, the elemental moves were different and in TEN you can't strafe(I find that very odd).

The lack of Dragon Time spoilt DotD for me. It was quite possibly my fave technique in the whole of the Legend series.

But it would be weird for co-op, and Cynder can't even use it. I would rather have co-op and an extra character as opposed to the ability to slow down time.

Especially since slowing down time has been done several times before. It wasn't anything new.

Nope, but it was for a Spyro game.

I'd rather have Time than co-op, but that's just me.

Yeah, but I still found it a neat addition. I don't think it's bad to add stuff that's done often into a game, as long as it works well with the main formula of the game.

Co-op has also been done a lot, but only really in shooters. A lot of platforming games seem to be taking it up since DotD.

I just found TEN to be extremely boring, repetative, and way too cheap and unbalanced. Hopefully I'll like DotD more

DotD isn't as hard, and is even more diverse than TEN. You actually have some special objectives in this, rather than it always be "get from point A to point B".

Right now though, I feel ANB is more repetitive than TEN. There is nearly no platforming at all in Dante's Freezer, just fighting....

DotD = ANB > TEN

Not sure if DotD is better than ANB or vise versa, but both were better than TEN.

I will wait 'til I actually beat ANB before I give a proper verdict.
Although, I definitely prefer DotD to TEN, but I really like TEN too.

TEN was alright, but it felt too much like ANB and the difficulty was unbalanced and you would experience a lot of cheap deaths.

I didn't get many cheap deaths in it, and I like difficult games. However, so far, TEN has proven more diverse for platforming and such.

So many people say TEN is difficult, but I didn't think it was..... Cheap deaths, I didn't really get either.

It wasn't impossibly difficult, but it's a good challenge, and probably the hardest Spyro game.

Actually.... I find SOI to be much harder

I still haven't managed to complete that without save states.

SOI is just cheap thogh. if it weren't for the weird camera, it would be easy. I was progressing well in it, but I just got bored of it.

That's what most people say TEN is though, so.....

Back on topic. A new year at last, I feel like seeing if my local videogame stores have updated anything

Yeah, but they were probably just bad at fighting games!

I agree. Every legend game seems to have that problem. ANB's entire premeis is based on repetitiveness!

ANB is repetitive so far, but I haven't finished it yet. It's fun though. However, TEN wasn't too bad with repetitive-ness, and DotD never got repetitive, as it was more objective-based.

I find it strange how a lot of Classic fans say that they like ANB the most, yet it is the one least like the Classics, at least in terms of gameplay.....*shot*

It wasn't the hardest. ETD was the hardest because it was unplayable, hense un-beatable.

And TEN wasn't the hardest of them all, but it had it's cheap deaths. And once you're surrounded by enemies, you're done, as you constantly get hit back and forth with no way to attack back because you're just falling backwards and it repeats until you lost all health.

ANB is repetitive. I don't want to spoil things, but to put it mildly, I hope you enjoy saving the guardians.

But at the same time it was something new after SL and AHT.

I'm currently at that fight on a boat in Tall Plains.

A boat in Tall Plains? I really need to reply the game!

He's near the halfway point.

@Wyrlin: I don't think I'd like that idea about Spyro looking after a destined fire guardian. No offence it just don't think I'd like it if the game revolved around the care of a single character. IDK why. Also, I've kinda had it with the whole destiny thing. I like a little free will in characters and to see them make thier own decisions for thier own reasons.

I had no idea about High Impact games; that's sweet! I hope they're making the next Spyro!

I'm tired of the destiny routine as well.

I want to see Spyro back to being a bit mischievous again, and I'd prefer an anti-hero Cynder instead (For some reason, everytime I imagine her like that, I just feel as though it would make her such an amazing character. A cross between her evil form and her young form, so to speak).

I don't think I'd like anti-hero Cynder. She would end up a female Shadow the Hedgehog. Cynder is a great example of "dark does not mean bad", and I think it should stay that way. Also, her corruptions and "betrayals" are gettin' old....=/

Spyroo, so you would want spyro and cynder to basially be like the female lead and sherlock holmes from the new movie? From the more mature view, i actually can see that working, and still adding some humor to things actually.

Nah, Shadow is dark, but anti-hero Cynder would work probably better than she does now. Right now, it's her predictability that makes her so bland to many fans.

Besides, her love-hate relationship towards Sparx would be hilarious to watch >D

I would find her much more predictable as an anti-hero. Shadow was awesome as an anti-hero, and is even awesome as a hero(his and Eggman's lines were the only ones I took seriously in Sonic 06). But making Cynder an anti-hero isn't a good idea. I mean, Ember already feels like a rip-off of Amy, and I don't want the ONLY female lead in Spyro becoming a rip-off. In DotD, she was sweet, but had attitude at the same time. And her relationship with Sparx is already funny!(Sparx impersonated Cynder, for cryin' out loud) Although her current personality reminds me a tiny bit of certain other VG characters, she doesn't feel overly similar to any.

The trouble is, too many people, Cynder fans and not, do find she's very bland right now.

She can't really be that much more predictable as an anti-hero - Because right now everyone can see what she's about to do before she's done it.

There's a lot of people who seem to think she would do better as an anti-hero though. I think she would make a great anti-hero, and bring a bit of enjoyment to the game. As her current standing.... Well, even Legend fans can see why her personality needs a change.

I don't. She's funny, independant even when chained to the purple dragon of legend, and is kind hearted. Even if you think she is bland, a personality change isn't needed. People complain about that enogh as it is, and we don't need another year or two of that. They can just develop her more. She's a really deep charcter as is(that is, if you're not too blinded to see it). And I can predict what will happen if she's an anti-hero. Also, if she does become one, everyone is gonna say "ZOMG, THE ONLY FEMALE IS EVILLLZZ!! THIS GAME IS SEXIST!!!"
