Spyro: The Gnasty & Ripto Collab of Doom

Personally, I'm just glad that the Spyro franchise still exists. I appreciate LoS for that (and for Gaul, mmmm...Gaul... ). For all it's unoriginality, LoS did occasionally drop in some interesting stuff. EtD...not so much. It was just a (really bad) rip-off of the originals.

But, let's face it. There will never be another Spyro game that's as good as those first three.

Man is that ever true! But the old-school Spyro fans are equally annoying (I am one, but I still find many of my fellow fans obnoxious). This is just the nature of fandom as a whole.

"2. Stupid, repetitive combat gameplay that gives me a headace"

Agreed there, too. LoS certainly isn't fun to play. I was playing entirely for the story, myself. But it's still more fun to play than EtD, which was pretty much one giant glitch.

"3. Stupid, repetitive, linear levels with dark scenery that often makes it impossible to tell where you're going."

That makes the linear-ness quite helpful, though. I liked the art of the levels if not the linear-ness. And I recommend playing in an extremely dark room.

"4. Dare I say it- cliche- epic-dragon-saves-everyone-from-evil stuff that everyone's seen a million times before. The story often seems to have no direction, like that time that Spyro made a detour to go find some tree and ended up doing nothing but fighting a boss."

Yes, LoS is so cliche it hurts. But that's what the producers were going for. They wanted to tell an epic story like you see in the movies, and what is more movie-like than a butt-load of cliches? XD It's not like the games previously had been much different as far as Spyro being the dragon who saves everyone. In fact, in the old days, it was even worse because he was saving them from stuff they could do themselves (I am thinking specifically of EtD and AHT). At least with LoS there's mostly a reason for Spyro being the savior (namely, he's apparently the only one who can be because everyone with only one element gets their butts kicked ).

"5. Oh and speaking of bosses: Frustrating, pointless boss fights. Arborik comes to mind."

Not gonna disagree with that, either. Some of those boss fights just sucked.

"6. The ending. You know, where the world is expolding Or is that the best part because it's finally over? =P"

Meh, I saw that all coming. It was at least more interesting than the EtD ending, which I cannot even re-watch.

These are all valid reasons to dislike LoS, but I don't see how these make it worse than EtD, a game which can barely be played, which has no plot to speak of, which takes a great series and destroys all the good in it, that nearly killed an entire franchise... I can go on and on about why EtD sucks. At least LoS had nice music and fun art, if nothing else.
