darkSpyro

Title says it all.
I'm mainly going to look up the release date, starter pack stuff, gimmick and 3DS versions. If they have guest stars again, them too. I'm not going to look up too many new characters, I want to be surprised when I open up the poster on Day 1.

Long story short, I probably won't be on too much until I beat the game.

Sigh of relief. Start to save up and say goodbye to replacing my computer's graphics card anytime soon.

Go right to Darkspyro and hope the people here has some real details and facts than the next to nothing that Activision will tell us on that day. If it's something obviously bad like Skylanders Olympics or Skylanders Sports, I'll flip a table and go eat a Gill Grunt in protest.

Well press releases aren't supposed to tell you much. But I can't even say I'll do the same, I'll be the sad person throughly analyzing the trailer for freeze frames.

Be finally excited. Start working out what skylanders I want. Discuss the gimmick. Hang around dark spyro for news and leaks.

I'll be hyped... And then I'll come on and see everyone blabbing on about how the franchise is dying and how they've ran out of ideas and yadda yadda yadda.

I'll discuss the revelaed info with all of you here and hear your opinions. I enjoy specualting here nearly as much as the game themselves.

I'll go insane and finally start loving this franchise again (hopefully) and then I'll talk about the characters and then I'll complain about everything and then I'll become unpaitent to see that one unknown character which we saw in the trailer who looks like the best one in the game (basically the case with Deja Vu).

Make the comment that at least it can't be worse then Superchargers and that at least you won't be needing to put two toys on the portal to play the darn thing..
But I could be wrong.

Remember Young Conker, Bomberman Act Zero, and recent Fantastic Four movies.
I can ALWAYS get worse and more gimmicky.

I know and I totally agree that's why I said I could be wrong.
But from the start as many others on this site were saying even with the rumors that we weren't really excited for a vehicle focused skylanders game. But now that we finally got that out of the way.... ?

Yet again-

order of events.

>scream
>dance
>shower in gummy worms

First of all I'm going to watch the reveal gameplay/trailer and get a good idea of the game.
Then I'm going to carefully analize them in search for some cool things (unannounced Skylanders, NPCs, Soul Gems); won't see any other video before the new game releases so I have to get the most out of them.

After that I'm going to tell my cousins about the new game and discuss our thoughts.

Finally I'm going to write my first impressions here.

SuperChargers isn't a bad game by any means but it's full of terrible choices, in my opinion.
I have great hopes with TfB back at the helm.

If it's anything like the first 2 I'll personally be completely over the moon. I'm not a fan of the gimmicks.

I'll be skipping S6 if it's anything to do with sports.

For me, I'll give a detailed analysis of what I personally like and don't like, and ultimately if I'm in or not. Almost non-emotional unless they seriously reach within on this entry.

So, praise and criticism will run rampant. Some will be thoughtful and tempered, and some will be overzealous (on both sides). Some will get annoyed. So another day on the Internet.

I'll buy it as long as it has:
Interesting story
Nice gimmick that fits in easily
Cheap toys
and Good Gameplay

Remind me when we learned of superchargers again?

I'll flip out, like with every reveal for the past games, that's what I'll do.
Then I'll come on here and hope that people have liked a bit of what they saw, and come here to talk about it and I'll just kind of join in. I'm hoping that not too much people are complaining, but eh. I'm excited already, so it better be good!

if #2 happens, #3 won't happen for me. But folks these days can't understand legitimate critiques...they'll hyperventilate and say we are "complaining"...so do keep that in mind. Yes, people step outside of that circle...all the time. I don't think everyone here is brand spanking new to the internet. It comes with the territory, so complaining about the critique/complaining isn't going to help either.

You're not taking into account people who won't shut up about the complaints though. Taking for example you or Matteomax - you guys aren't happy with the decisions, but you mention it once or twice and move on with your lives; I'd be a jerk if I criticized the criticism when I'd collected and reasonable. With the usual suspects though, their entire experience, every post and discussion, revolve around Activision did a Bad Thing(tm). It adds nothing, and just creates an elitist, petty and toxic image that drives people away - heck, when these threads show up, you see tons of users who stopped adding to this section because of them suddenly post.

But at least the first week, I guess crazed hype or anti-hype can be excused. First news in a while, so much we don't know, and the atmosphere. But 11 months after the fact,yeeaaaah no.

Oops, looks like my comment was taken a bit too seriously! I'm not sure what you're really talking about, but I was just trying to make a joke out of how many of us complain about the games but end up buying them anyway. Nothing personal.

Superchargers is most likely my last game (for real this time) simply because I'd rather collect other things, but when Sky 6 is revealed I will

1. Read all about it
2. Look at the characters
3. Keep up with News

If it's not as innovative, I'd rather not celebrate nor binge-read dS.

If it's similar to Infinite Arms, or even better, of course I'll be excited, but I wouldn't buy the game when it comes out seeing how I stick to preowned in most cases. (I got my first SSC figure two days ago, but I'm keeping in the box. Power Blue Splat BTW)

Keep looking at videos on youtube about it.

gummyworms.mp4

Die of joy.

Why the huge picture. What some youtuber has dreamed up isn't a leak,otherwise the dozen times or so I dreamed of a new game would've all become real.
And nope,still waiting for my Buzz Wing to shoot Vespiquen.

I've mostly sat out on superchargers, i bought a few guys here and there, played the game once or twice. Sky 6 i will still read about and see how i feel. I was never one to like racing games other then mario kart and cruisn the usa as a kid to be honest. Hopefully 6 goes back to its roots, id like to see a more of a spyro leading SSA like backstory with more levels and gameplay with just simply the gimmick of "toys to life". Game should come out cheaper then normal without a portal to cut costs, they can sell it alone for new ppl or give some sort of deal off older copies with the game. I would like to see actual DLCs that are added thru the life of the game, not ones planned and on the disk awaiting the adventure pack to come out. Skylanders was the original toys to life and I hope they learned with superchargers and the competition that they need to refocus on what made the games great. I could easily see them doing a story that also has DLCs and possibly next yr a simple PART 2 expansion that is just the game and new figures sold by themselves.

I hope the title is Skylanders 6
The Adventures of Spyro Beyawn Skylands
I hope it comes with a Random Yawn Trap
I hope it uses the Trap Team Portal
I hope more traps are released
I hope it has 68 new figures
I hope 8 are reposes that are lightcore
I hope 60 are new
I hope you have to use a trap a figure and a vehicle but not all at the same time
I hope the villians are playable
I hope the crystal traps unlock levels
I hope we have Crash Bandicoot
I hope we travel Beyawn time to different areas with land sea and air to take us there
I hope we have quest's to complete
I hope Toy's for Bob knocks it out of the park
I hope we have online battle arenas
I hope for dlc to upgrade the game with items and mini quest
I hope for online game play
I hope that there is no racing
I hope the bases on the figures are Purple on the very bottom
I hope their are more variants then regular figures on some and the regular figures are the ones to find
One last Thing I hope we all have fun with Sky 6 and I hope its the last game and done.
I think that's it.... We will have to wait and see Come on Oct 21st 2016

I hope about 70% of what you hope for NEVER HAPPENS.

• think about it
  
• form an opinion
  
• either be really happy or complain about it on the internet
  

I hope I'll want to buy more characters. Superchargers was a weird year.

I modified my comment as I really didn't want to go there specifically, but yeah. We have people that (like you and Drek) critique responsibly (tm), people like me that sometimes get a bit overzealous but eventually reign it in, and then we have the chronic complainers. At the end of the day, I AM looking forward to everyone's thoughts, be it good or otherwise.

Read about it. Decide if I'll miss it at all because I won't but it.

"It's collected and reasonable", as in your comments, is what I meant - this phone's keyboard has some really iffy edges and I keep having ns instead of spaces and ds instead of s. I'm at fault for sometimes harping on about things, though just like my anxiety issues I try to tone myself down and stop posting without thinking as much as possible.

I look forward to it as well. I'm usually pretty hopeful when a new game is announced. But this year is different, and it has nothing to do with Superchargers or figure shipping or the overall decline in sales. Simple fact is my oldest son is the one that plays it with me and he is getting older and interested in other games and things. It can't last forever, after all.

I'll look at the game, maybe pick it up down the road on a good sale if whatever the new "gimmick" is doesn't make all the previous figures useless since having more content for our collection isn't a bad thing. Figure collecting is almost certainly out, and if the game basically requires the new guys I'll skip until the fire sale. I'm hoping for a good solid game in the vein of a Swap Force/Trap Team, a gimmick that isn't forced on you but is fun (and you can sufficiently experience it with what is included in the Starter) and older figures are actually viable to use. That might not be the best for everyone or the franchise, but it is what would make me happy.

It's largely been very different for me as well this year, as my son really didn't play the game like he used to. On the flip side, both of them loved the racing aspects, and that's where we as a family did most of our collective gaming. I feel I could continue playing the games, but in a largely reduced footprint. No more pokemon "gotta catch them all" from my perspective.

I'm pretty much here.

That being said, am I the only one who would also be thrilled if they came out with an H.D. version of Spyro's Adventure and Giants while also allowing Swap Force, Trap Team and Super Chargers? That would be something.

I'd love an HD update of SSA and Giants, but I'd rather keep those games locked to their then-current rosters. Using Wash Buckler in Dragon's Peak would just be weird for me.

I really would like for them to release older games as Magic Items. For example: Tapping the Core of Light toy on your Sky6 Portal would unlock SSA. Of course, they'd HAVE to update the roster of accepted Skylanders at that point, but hey.

Core of Light for SSA,
Ancient Fist of Arkus for Giants,
Mt. Cloudbreak for Swap Force,
Cloudcracker Prison for Trap Team.

Add in jumping, with the SF/SSC graphics and all Skylanders playable and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Nothing. To me, 2016 is the year of anti-hype. I have no motivation to be "hyped" for anything.

I've already said it a few times throughout this board but just putting the first 2 out in HD and allowing all skylanders to be used in these games feels like the perfect skylander game at the moment.. As well as add in the jumping.
Make it even better by adding in new levels. I'd take this over Skylanders 6 honestly.

Flip the table, scream, dance with the trailer's song, and see as much details as I can, including details that don't exist.
