So I went to the Skylanders tour in London today. I have a couple of pictures.









At the event, you could play the game. Unfortunately, you could only play it on Wii. The only characters they had were Spyro, Gill Grunt and Trigger Happy. I played a whole level as Spyro and a bit of a level as gill grunt. They were also Giving away posters of the 32 characters and you could have your picture taken there.

There were also people dancing really, really badly.

So yeah, I just thought I would tell you about it.

So you played the game? What are your impressions?

So THAT's what London looks like!

Well, I only played the first level, so I can't really speak for the difficulty, But it did seem to hold my hand a bit too much.
The controls were good, and the level design was fun.

I don't really have much to say to be honest. I know I'm going to be buying it, It's a fun little game. Although you can definitely tell that it's aimed at small children.

I'd need to play more to formulate a proper opinion on it really.

How do you even navigate if you can't jump?

There are jump pads in the game that allows you to jump up to places unreachable.

In the level I played there were jump pads, which will probably be in all the levels.

...

And to think, a jump button would make much more sense. I mean, honestly, they run out of buttons to map or something? 360 controllers have EIGHT buttons and two sticks (Which can serve as two MORE buttons). Same with PS3. Wii has a crapload of motions you can do, as well as FIVE buttons.

Why on earth, then, would someone cut jumping out of a PLATFORMER?

Prysom, buy the 3DS version of Skylanders if you think a game with no jump button is that big a deal. It's more of a platformer than its console counterpart.

It's a design/gameplay decision

I'm just saying, every successful game I can think of lets you jump. Twisted Metal even let you jump, and that was a DRIVING game with massive cars.

And why does everyone assume I have a 3DS? Or that I would buy this? Last I checked, I'm 6-12 years older than the demographic bounds they shoot for.

Because you're giving us the impression that the jump button is a great big deal to you.

Mainly because it's kind of a given in games. Few games bar jumping. Even games it is terrible in use it, like Twisted Metal or Soul Calibur. I simply can't think of a successful non-driving game without jumping in it. And I've played over 700 games to my recollection.

An event like this happening over at London is what makes the US suck even more. No awesome events like that.

You can jump in GTA, and you don't even really need it. Especially in III and Vice City.

If you don't even think about buying it, why are you complaining 300 times per day about that game? Just let it go...

Probably because I love pointing out gaping flaws.

^ That some of us are tired of hearing?

I'm not that tired of hearing it.

Well it's not funny, not even interesting, it's just annoying =)

How can fans get along with each other if they won't even hear each other out? Fans perhaps should be loyal to others if a fanbase should 'survive' or am I wrong?

A fan, sometimes also called aficionado or supporter, is a person with a liking and enthusiasm for something, such as a band or a sports team. Fans of a particular thing or person constitute its fanbase or fandom. They may show their enthusiasm by being a member of a fan club, holding fan conventions, creating fanzines, writing fan mail, or by promoting the object of their interest and attention.

Hum...

So I guess I'm wrong, it doesn't really tell you on how fans should respond to one another.

Well it would be nice if we were actually all fans yes =)

Also, I have nothing against criticism, but I have somethings against complaining and free bashing.

Never mind, I don't understand.

Ah, but then, the million dollar question is why? Why continue to reciprocate towards me? Do realize nothing you or anyone else can do will change my mind on Skylanders, nor anyone else's. Effort ain't victory, peaches.

...You just love to argue with me, don't you?

I just think he likes to provoke...

What about Zelda?

@Aura: You seem to enjoy it much more than me, peaches.

@SD: Zelda was birds eye cam. If you jumped in it, you wouldn't accomplish much. Though FF games don't have jumps. But then again, they really never needed them.

What? By stating an opinion that some people can't seem to handle so they just come up with the excuse of 'We're getting tired of hearing this now' if you're not really bothered about it in the first place, you would just ignore it and not even bother to reply.

No, it's not what I mean. I'm tired of it because he doesn't bring nice arguments, with a constructive criticism, just complaints, and always the same by the way. I like to argue, really, just in an intelligent way.

Quote: Prysom

@Aura: You seem to enjoy it much more than me, peaches.

Not really. You are the one who seem to enjoy arguing with me, and from the looks of what I saw on the 'random facts' topic in the Stuff and Nonsense section, arguing with me is far more than just an enjoyment to you.

There's an intelligent way to argue? I thought arguing was just arguing.

With intelligent arguments, in fact.

First off, you were NOT supposed to read that. I was more of a thought out loud... and it is not my fault you horribly misread what I meant.

Wait, why am I explaining myself to you? You are the one who starts these. In MOST boards. With ME. Keep Skylanders crap in Skylanders' board.

No need to get all defensive at me, Prysom. It's not my fault you publicly told a random fact about yourself on a public forum.

That's what the thread was about! Telling facts!

And you're not innocent either!

How am I not innocent, might I ask you?

Quote: Reimu

Keeping calm in an argument without losing your cool is also intelligent.

Yes it is.

Probably in a lot more ways than are relevant, but you drag this Skylanders merda around to SEVERAL boards. You're no less biased than me. You haven't even played the game, and you assume it is good. I haven't even played the game, and I assume it is bad.

You are biased, just like me, just on the other end of the spectrum.

Where have I heard that before?

Probably from a lot of people. I'm not exactly unique in noticing you aren't perfect.

I know I'm not perfect.

Quote: Aura24

I know I'm not perfect.

I shall forever enshrine this glorious and magnanimous quote as no quote before or after it could ever have so significant a power to make me speechless.

So, about that Skylanders live, was it something special? Freebies? Would be nice!

Kids get to play the game early to see how it is in the demo.

Thank you, Reimu.

It was probably some promotional event or some rot, so yeah, some little free doodad likely would be included.

Thats looked so awsome. Maybe an event will happen in america soon.

Not likely.
