And that accepted complacency is why I give low marks to Skylanders. Activision believed that because it would be a kids game, they could slack off and give as little effort at possible.

^But Prysom is not a kid, yet ye were suggesting he play the game before judging it. He has his own way of doing it, and it's not going to change. That's the point I'm trying to make. Prysom may call the game good for kids, but on a personal level, he hates it.

@ Brawler: I must have missed it then . . . Sorry.

@ Prysom: From what I got there, is that Skylanders (in a nutshell) is not your cup of tea. It's not a game that you can see or even willingly want to play. And you provided the reasons why. It's not challenging, it's not well polished, it's messy, it's lackluster, it's too simplistic, it's not develop well enough or it's just not imaginative as it says it is.

To be honest, that's fair. However, there are some players/gamers that are not as hardcore as others. These things that you mentioned are probably things that doesn't bother them, or maybe they don't play games as much and it doesn't come to mind.

I'm the same way when it comes to TLOS. I can't understand how it was so popular, but at the same it just was. . . People liked TLOS. . . why? - I dunno, I guess some people like just seeing things on the surface, and don't bother to dig deeper or look pass that. Maybe they like the idea, or that it made an attempt to take it up a notch and be serious.

Truth is, people like Skylanders, people like TLOS, people like the originals, and people just like Spyro and some people don't like all those things (all at once or individually). The only time when it becomes a problem is when either side doesn't respect them for it. No one likes being disrespected and people have many different ways of handling it.

Above all, I think it just comes down to just respecting others.

^BINGO. You nailed it.

Kids may like it. I, as a gamer, think it is unappealing due it it's unoriginal and puerile design. Note this game is for people 6-12. I am 18. Ergo, I do not share the same interests as a child. I do not have the phylogeny of a child. I do not have the mentality of a child. I believe effort must be put forth, and that depth must be achieved to separate a game from a sea of doppelgangers. In short, a child would like anything colorful and flashy with some obnoxious aspect. I believe that a game must stand out to receive any praise from me.

In short, Skylanders is good for it's age it targets. It's a vapid, uncreative game elsewise.

I liek the mention of TV show in there. I for one whould not be suprised if Skylanders got a Saturday morning cartoon, maybe made by Nickolodeon since they already collaborated with them for the tour.

Why do we need one? My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has that Spyro feeling.

@Zackeio: From what I could gather, people here were being respectful. I think the problem lied more in not being able to understand each others views fully. But that's been sorted now, I believe.

^ I hope that's true. However to be honest, I didn't really understand the problem to begin with, and to me it sounded like not respecting others view.

Still, not understanding could be the issue still at large here . . . maybe ?

No it doesn't. Don't drag any pony crap in this thread.

The fact that you point out that it has little effort is proof that you didn't play this game.

Are you sure you aren't talking about Tony Hawk games?

Your basically calling people who like this game "children", I am older then you, I am a gamer and I like this game. Yes its not the most polished game out there and it is aimed for a younger audience but it does not mean that older people can't enjoy it. Look at harry potter, when the first book came out it was all over the news that its was a childrens book that adults liked. I am not saying Skylanders is as good as harry potter but they have put a lot of effort into this game. Yes it has flaws but I have seen MANY a game with more flaws. You have games with not enough content in which this game has a LOT. You see games that lack a decent multiplayer aspect and this game has the right amount (campain play and PvP).

Just becuase you don't like the game does not mean you can go into forums saying "this game is below me seeing as I am not a drooling idiot who likes sunshine and sparkles". Pokemon is aimed at a younger Audience but that has a HUGE adult following for the main RPG games. Kingdom hearts is 70% Disney and childish at times but again that has a huge adult following. I personally think this game is fun to sit around and play with freinds for little while every now and then, it has a few moments where you laugh at how silly it can be but unless the game is blood and gore you have to expect a few silly moments. I don't have a problem with you not liking this game but I do when you try to put down everyone who does play the game and make out they are below you...

and for the record so you know I am a gamer I play: WoW, GW's, Rift, CoD:Black Ops, League of Legends. I own a Xbox 360 with sevral games, I own a Wii with 30+ games, I own an N3DS and DS with over 50 games. I am also planning on getting the new SW's MMO when it comes out. (and I don't play all the MMO's with subscriptions at once, but I do raid high end raiding when I do play them)

Now, honestly, CAV. I am 18. You are recommending a game designed for six year olds for me. That's somewhere in the league of educational games and MLP as a video game. Do realize that as much as I deprive myself of hormones, I can think logically enough to see the stupidity at blowing exorbitant amounts of money on a game that couldn't even impress me in an LP.

I mean, come on, if an LP fails to interest me, I won't be any more likely to be interested just because I'm holding the controller! Watching an LP means I can judge when I want, and take breaks in watching. However, even to TEST the game in a store, I have to go out of my way to go to a store, make a complete fool of myself by playing an obnoxious and puerile game, and end up wasting my own time, which you couldn't care less for, on a kids game.

Come on, I'm 18! I don't walk into stores to play any games, let alone one designed for people a third my age! Even watching the LP was painful! If I did the crap you wanted for every game that came out, I'd never be outside stores! Honestly, can't you realize I have to mature eventually, and don't screw around with toys anymore? The closest I get is a Rubik's Cube, but unlike Skylanders, that occupies my prefrontal cortex.

Really, just because YOU are stuck in a puerile phase doesn't mean I have to follow you on that path!

...So you say all those teens and adults who like this game need help, and that you are somehow better because you hate it? Because that's what it sounds like.

I don't understand how you expect to have what you're saying about it being ridiculous to like a game for twelve year olds taken seriously.
It's whatever if you hate it, but you can't tell everyone there's something wrong with liking the game.

And Prysom's gnorced.

Now, honestly, Prysom. I'm 15. I'm not far from your age. I'm suppose to be in a phase where I only play violent video games like CoD, Halo, and GTA, and call any game that isn't rated M/18 a game for babies. Yet I'm perfectly able to play children's games like Mario, Sonic, Skylanders, and Kirby. Hell, you're able to play original Spyro just fine, and that's for the exact same target audience. So what's the problem?

Also, I'm pretty sure you would offend several teen/adult MLP fans with that comment you made there.

And lastly, playing Skylanders doesn't mean I'm in a puerile phase, or that I only play games for kids. Hell, look at my avatar. It's from a game rated M/18+.

And if I'm 15 and am in a puerile phase because I like the game, what does that make the other people on this forum that enjoy the game while being my age, if not even older than you?

What you're doing here is using the age excuse, the same thing Hippo used before having left the site (then coming back).

I'm a teen MLP fan and I'm partially offended by that comment, and it fit well with the rest of that wonderful comment as the icing on the cake, which seemed determined to dismantle and shame anyone who likes something supposedly not their age. :'D Maybe I read into things too much, but yeah.

I. Hate. MLP.

99% of bronies are furries. (Says the scaly).

But, all I hear is MLP this, MLP that.
I've personally seen one episode, and I hated it. I didn't get the appeal factor at all.


Second, Prysom, what level of Spyro fan are you anyways?
Classic?

You hate LoS on account of Cynder, whom you wish were dead.
You hate Skylanders, for reasons I have yet to figure out.

^Ahaaaaaaa..........no.

I know several bronies that aren't furries. Sure a good amount of them are, but not 99%......

99% is ridiculous. -.-; Where'd you get that idea? The very vocal fans that are furries?

Fun fact: Once, someone posted FurAffinity links on Equestria Daily.

They had to change those links to DeviantArt because a lot of people didn't want to look at a 'furry site'.

So where does this '99% are furries' come from? And if you're a scaly, why say it like it's a bad thing?

But this is incredibly off-topic.

Um...I like the 3DS version. It's fun. But no boss fights so far. D:

99% of bronies are furries?
I'd say about 20-40 percent.


On an on-topic note, I haven't played the game for a couple days.
Might start again, since my little brother got Whirlwind.

That sounds more accurate.

Whirlwind's fun.

Quote: IsisStormDragon

Whirlwind's fun.

Apparently so.
My brother maxed her out in just a few hours.

....

Wow.

Wow.

It's even easier if you abuse 2-Player Battle Mode, which my brother didn't do for her.

Am I to assume he really likes her, then?

He prefers her because of her powerful attacks, I guess.

Page 5 and 6 roughly (while I was writing for my next chapter on that topic, go figure)


99% isn't an actual stat.
When there are a lot of something, I say "99%" or "99.9%"

It's part of my slang vocabularly. When I say that, it's me saying a lot.
I'm surprised nobody has realized that yet. And the fact you guys took it literally just amuses me.

I watched one episode of MLP. Hated it. Thought it was terrible- laughable, even.
Gave it another chance and watched more episodes. Got hooked and now have a Pinkie Pie sitting on my desk!

People, keep the pony talk away from this thread. I'm getting a little ****ed right now due to people talking about it so much on here. -__-

Ahhhh thats why people like Whirlwind so much then, She is 99% Pony all she is missing is hooves.....

Why in the hell are people comparing to Rainbow Dash with yet another video game character? Seriously, you bronies make me sad. -__-

^Because............they both shoot rainbows?

What's everyone bickering about now?

^ Rainbows is today's bickering topic as it seems. Be here tomorrow while we bicker about how marshmallows are too sticky when you use them for smores.

But seriously, it's just that some people are tired of hearing MLP being the "plague of all forum talk" so to speak.

Anyway, it would appear the 2nd wave of toys will becoming out as early as NOV 15 or as later as DEC 24.

All you need is some poptarts and you have Nyan Cat Fever.....someone should put Whirlwinds head on the Nyan Cat....and post it here

That's cool. Makes me wonder who voices her.

Video won't play for me...?

No. It makes you a brony instead. Which, in my personal opinion, is alot worse than being a furry.
