enter the dragonfly is like the assignment that you're not even half finished with that you turn in because giving the teacher something is better than nothing

sonic 06 is like the assignment that you read the sparknotes about and spend an all-nighter on. it's really ****ty but at least technically complete

like... i have fond memories of etd, so i'll admit, i'm more attached to it than sonic 06. but it's a very obviously unfinished game. it's not even half as long as the ps1 titles.

i'm not as familiar with sonic, so i can't say if sonic 06 holds up well in length compared to other sonic games, but at least there's a complete-ish story. it also doesn't randomly crash as often

Funny thing is, ETD has 9 levels. The least amount of levels a PS1 Spyro game has? 29 (Ripto's Rage). I know the levels are bigger in ETD, but that isn't a good thing in most cases because some of the levels are so barren-looking.

Also over half the soundtrack was thrown out like bathwater, and ETD shipped with a corrupted track (Platform Panic).

at the end of the day though in defense of you liking the game Thunder if you enjoy a game though it matters more than the quality i could laugh more if the spyro community werent such jerks and meme happy over it to the point of bullying people legitimately if they like a game they dont like or think is ****ty (like with dawn of the dragon back in the day too and the same goes for the sonic fans too exactly "sonic fans who whine about sonic 06 being a bad game are weak")

Gonna be honest, I really like ETD despite all it's shortcomings, and I'm not even nostalgic over it as I barely played it as a child. I love it mostly for being the last ever console Spyro game that stuck to the original formula. I like the level design too and levels like Monkey Monastery and Cloud 9 are some of my favourites in the Spyro series. The music was fantastic, apart from the Ripto Boss fight music lol. To me, while I would say that the TLOS games are better and I love them too, ETD is my favourite post-Insomniac Spyro game. Wish Universal had allowed the developers freedom to make the game how they want instead of saying no to most of the levels pitched to them. Mr FO1's documentary is great. I can only imagine the great Spyro games we would have got in the original style had this game been complete and received favourably.

That's a great way of describing ETD, lol.

I know it's cliched to say at this point, but what really depresses me the most about ETD is how much missed potential there is with the game. From Universal constantly executive meddling, developers literally going to fisticuffs and hating each other, and so many scrapped concepts/maps/music/etc, it's a miracle the game came out. If nothing else, while I don't think it's as good as Spyro 1-3's, the soundtrack has some bangers. Especially some of the unused music, hot damn.

It's the first Spyro game I remember playing and 6 year old me had a lot of fun with it somehow. It's pretty nostalgic for me.

Outside of SoI and SoF, ETD was my first Spyro game. I was just a pup back then and didn't really notice or even understand how poor quality it was. I really loved playing it. Definitely one of the most nostalgic games for me, possibly THE most nostalgic next to Kirby: Nightmare In Dreamland.

Hey is there anything you want me to bring for the rest of the week and if so it’s so cool that you can do something and just do it like that

Hey Spyro, all dragons know there's magic in a fairy's kiss. See what it can do to your power of flame
