the skyro board is so ****ing tame compared to here lmao, no one knows proper grammar or spelling, everyone's entranced by skylanders and hates those who aren't, and a topic that gets mild annoyance by one or two people get's closed in 24 hours.
man i envy that place
it's always funny to me how you can be as positive as you want about something but say one negative thing and you're attacked, really shows how society functions and how bad it is

That's because it's obvious bait and the mods know you two are S&N regulars. I straight up said it and they still went with arguing because it's a bunch of kids. It's tame nowadays because it used to be REALLY easily to make the board go out of control and get full of redundant threads and bickering.

But you have to understand that the devs don't give two ****s about the game and their fans, and that skylanders is such a good marketing strategy that Activision has kept pumping new games and figures out every year to make millions upon millions of dollars from people who still think theres "love" and "passion" put into the game and keep emptying out their wallets to them. Quote: Crash10
That's not true. To get the full experience, you need to pay hundreds of dollars. It's not necessary to pay hundreds of dollars to beat or enjoy the game, but if you want the full experience, you have to pay hundreds of dollars. There's no getting around that. |

You can, for sure, but in Skylanders case, you can tell, from the info videos, from E3, gamescom, from the VV art books, to even the VV live stream, you can tell there's passion out into Skylanders and you can tell they love the series as much as we do. You may not agree Mesu, but know that, whether you like it or not, what you think isn't the case for Skylanders.

And some Tv Shows, movie franchises and game series are like that. But there's a fine line between the ones that put quality over quantity and vice versa. Ie gravity falls, excellent show, for children, I enjoy it as an adult, it ended before it got too streamlined and became a cash grab, that is so commendable to me. look at something like Halo, every game looks bigger and better, you dont even have to like the game to see it's true. skylanders stays the same: same graphics, more or less same storyline, same need for paying for characters to unlock the full game. Everyone get's so mad at DLC these days, literally skylanders is one giant DLC.

Yea there's total love and passion, it's not like they pump out a game per year showing lack of care and development, basically all being the same game but including the new kids meme of the year. It's called presentation, it's what lawyers do, lawyers bull****, lots probably dont give a **** about their client but they pretend to. If the argument is who cared more: Insomniac, or Activision, the answer is obvious. I stand by this statement however: Skylanders is the smartest marketing ploy of the 21st century. They had Spyro's ip, had nothing to do with it after TLoS, came up with a new game, slapped spyro's name and face on it, made it pay to play for completion and made four more games yearly. It's genius. It's like dino planet, they saw an oppurtunity to cash in on an ip and slapped star fox on it

The skylanders mods are very odd about what they do and don't delete/close. I got a topic closed when I was new to the forum for "posting information people already know" when I found something new, but within hours of anything at least 5 kids will have the same topic "OMG LOOK AT DA THING!!!!!!!!111" and that's fine.

That's Activisions' side, they just want money, but from the developers side, you can tell there's effort, love and passion put into the game, Yeah, somethings stay the same, but what can you do in such a short development cycle? The levels are still great, the characters are often aces in the whole and the toys can look damn good. I'm sure both TfB and VV wanted to do more with the series, but Acti resisted due to money and not wanting to take risks.

If the developers weren't in it just for the money, why not make every character available to play when you buy the game, and still release the figures for those who like collecting. That way, the fans that they care so much about would be able to get the full experience for a fair $60 like every other game on the market. Why don't you do this, you ask? Because they want to make as much money as possible with doing as little work as possible. They require you to buy the figure so you can play as the character because it's a smart marketing strategy and it makes them money. |

I think you aren't understanding that Activision is in control of the business. They wouldn't want to make things easy like that, obviously. VV and TfB just have to make what they can and deal with what Activision chooses. I agree the game's definitely a cash grab, but that doesn't mean it's bad, and, again, it's all thanks to Activision. Skylanders was supposed to have the toys as optionals when it was Spyro's Kingdom, but guess who forced Toys for Bob to change that?

It's a total cash grab, that much is obvious. But whether it lacks passion and effort or not is debatable. They put out a new game every year, but it's always alternating companies working on them, giving them longer to do it. Though I will admit the series has been lacking the passion it used to have, but I think it was after Swap Force where that started slowly dropping off more and more. But just because it's used only for a cash grab, that doesn't mean people can't like it. So what if they just want or money and don't care about the game? If we like the game, doesn't everyone win?

Wow I leave for a few hours to watch stuff and you guys go places.
We heard from the devs' mouths(though in subtle terms), marketing team and Acti are crazy. They have SO MUCH cut content and non-paywall ideas(Trap Team wouldn't actually require you to get Trap Masters at all to 100%) in the games, or really stupid plans(Stealth Elf in every starter pack, Autism Speaks) that are entirely out of their control. And yeah, I don't agree with the practices,but I like the game's lore, aesthetics, gameplay, and the figures are neato. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean there's no reason to be found for someone to love it. If they dropped the figure requirements, stopped having such a small development cycle, and used their PR to treat their fans like normal people rather than toddlers, I'd love the games more, not less.

When no matter who you were, you got a real good chance? Now the boys in charge aren’t taking chances Our home of liberty has gone real rancid But here i come You don’t have to beg I’ll make this omelet, no need to break an egg But i’m lettin this power go to my head Ruling over everything like my name was Gregg But i won’t be doing anything instead The world’s dark, but i take my stab They call me E.T Cuz imma phone home Take your hoe home And then I bone, home They call me E.T Cuz imma phone home Take your hoe home And then I bone, home Ya know, sometimes It feels a little sad Thinking about all the fun That he once had Goin out on the town With my shoes on his feet Adventure on his mind In the summer heat Now it’s been about a year, And he’s feeling kinda down Because he’s in a tight spot In a tiny little town Nothing to see, nothing to behold Just sit, wait, commentate, til’ he grows old You know, Sometimes He feels quite alone With just myself In this quiet home He wants somebody to love, that’s all the matter Somebody to hug and share some good laughter But all his life, the world just thinks he’s just a crook They look at two pages then they close the book Sometimes he wishes a lover would find his matter Open him up, read every page, every chapter And let the story end with some calm pitter-patter So they can just walk off, like happy ever after But this big ol’ book just sits on the shelf He’s just too afraid to call out for help He just wants comfort, to be serenaded But the big man on top makes him invalidated He tries to stand up But he takes a big fall He had just one chance But he wasted it all Now he lays on the ground, everyone can see He looks in his mirror. He’s crying.. The boy is me. Then my parents look at me, like i’m failin’ them, Doctors dissect my brain, like an alien Like, just why, what did i say to them? They squeeze my head like putty when they play pretend And then i see it That’s why i’m E.T I’m not “out of this world” The world says “out with ME” To them the way i think is too odd to care for So they sit me down, write up on a piece of paper “This kid’s not right, his head’s real ill!” “But we’ll fix your son, put him on some pills!” Hearing all their word just gives me the chills They think i can’t grow, let alone pay my bills And what am i supposed to do, when i’m 25 And i go to my dad, who hates how i’m alive And i say “i wanna leave, i wanna get a job” And he spits out venom, and leaves me to sob… And my mom sits down, not saying a word She agrees that i’m better, but refuses to concurr And my sister just laughs, soaking in my worst I wanna punch her stupid face, make her head hurt Then i jolt back up I’m going way too deep If it all WAS perfect I’d just be asleep I think about my parents, how i’m failing them How all the docs and lab cocks make me alien How i’m simply alone, nowhere to begin My boat’s been sank, i don’t sail again I’m sinking in the waves Tell the people “let me be..” I wanna go to the sky Star high Like E.T i let my mind take the keyboard out for a ride and then they drove off the cliff |

There's a lot of dumb stuff in this world that's illegal I'll always never understand why prostitution is illegal, if it were regulated by the government then people would get less STD's and these poor women wouldn't be abused and sold by pimps who hit and rape them. It's your body, you should able to do what you want with it. It's like if you paid me to shake your hand, it's my body, my choice, and if both parties consent there should be nothing wrong with it. Weed should also be legalized, i don't support or do drugs but it would get so many kids off the stream, out of bad situations, more jail space (this goes for prostitution as well)

Being sincere here, I'm not enthusiastic at all to talk in the Skylanders section. Most people, if not kids, are just too childish to have a good conversation. Ironically, people who access more than the Skylanders treads are much more nice and pleasant to talk about. That's why I prefer to post my topics at General. Less posts? Sure, but much better dialogue. And we don't need to talk again about Sansaes

I have gained weight quite a lot since the last year. I weighed 111 kg (244 pounds) and today I weighed at 120 kg (264 pounds). And the only change I've done in recent year, is that I have increased the amount of workouts and protein intake, no other changes have been made in my life which means that I have gained good mass. But it still is a heavy load, you know?
