I like big worlds, but it is easy to get lost. I got minecraft, and it is a pain to find my way back to my main tower. And those worlds are infinite.

I agree ratchet.

I don't play video games much these days. So I don't like a game where it will take a while to progress from place to place. That doesnt mean I don't like challenge (However, in purely linear games, excessive challenge is unwanted)

The thing with huge worlds is that it sometimes gets really boring and tedious just to get to one place to the next.It also doesn't give you enough progression because theres so much to explore,i like exploration as much as the next guy but i'll take progression over immersion any day.

I'm never in a hurry to complete any game first time through, because I know I only get to have a first experience playing the once through. I like to play Spore, but the first time playing it was the best because you don't know the shortcuts in the game that make it easier.

I hope it's not a repeat of the 2010 Spyro Movie. (I also hope the 2011 Bucky O'Hare movie and Battle Bears movie aren't like that.)

Uh, isn't saying that you do not want a lack of something just basically saying you WANT something?

Anyways what I do not want is:

- Elijah Wood (I just do not care for him.)
- The Legend of Spyro gameplay (an original-style platformer would be good)
- Some MMO that just has the Spyro name because it has characters or environments from the games. (I am okay with a MMO, as long as it actually has elements from the previous Spyro games in it.)
- Lastly, I also hope they do not make it TOO childish, because though Spyro is a game for kids, I do not want to feel foolish playing it if I want to check it out.

When was I ever insulting it again...? I was insulting Spyro.

l2read?

Well that is rather unfortunate bro. I never knew about your dis-capability.

But in all honesty, if you know nothing about something, you should not attack it. The story is actually great, and I'm sorry, but it's 100 times better then anything Spyro could toss at us. lol

But yeah, button mashing is always a mess, especially when you do it for really long and then you die...

Oh, I see how you could assume I was still talking about LotR.

No, I meant to stop tearing off the storyline of it. Not the whole 'gain power thing'. I was talking about something different.

And I can insult his BOOK work becuase I can't read the flippin thing. *bleep* small text and Dyslexia

I dont mind a game with basic attack or centain abilities or powerups to kill an enemy. But no "combat" meaning meaningless button mashing to kill one enemy, and especially when its the centraltype of gameplay

Well, I agree with Stormy. You kinda show your lack of knowledge and sensibility for any of Tolkien's work when you say that Frodo is some kind of Gary Stue who's powers have been given to him by the gods above, Rurikred Dragon. Insult the new Legend of Spyro games, but not Tolkien's work, please.

And anyways, it's not like Spyro is that way either. I mean he may have a few great powers and all, but he falls, and he has hardships as well. I mean he may be cliche, but not over-powered.

What do people mean when they say they don't want combat? I mean seriously, a game without combat?

Even in LotR the "chosen" thing was better executed than that. It's not like Frodo was super special for no good reason and had a ton of deus-ex-machina type powers, unlike LoS Spyro who was special because of his color and just randomly learned these elemental powers that materialized out of nowhere in a pinch. They weren't so much copying LotR as they were copying copies of copies of poorly executed copies of LotR. -__-

Anyway, I pretty much agree with what ratchet said, although I wouldn't really mind combat, Cynder, or Elijah Wood as long as they're done well this time.
