'Better' names for this game

OK, so here, you think of a supposedly 'better' name to give this game.

Spyro: Enter the Exit

Better than LoS indeed. *snort* I've actually re-played various games in the LoS trilogy. I will never put this game back in any console. It sits on my shelf gather dust as a testament to insanity and a reminder that, no matter how bad a game is, it could always be worse. >D

Re: 'Better' names for this game

Seriously, how is EtD better than LoS? At the very least, LoS one-upped EtD with its graphics and that's pretty much the only halfway-charitable thing that can be said about EtD (the graphics were okay, but all the characters had been hit with the ugly stick).

Re: 'Better' names for this game

Do you actually want me to list the reasons I hate TLoS? It's a pretty long list. tongue

As terrible as ETD is, I'm convinced that TLoS is worse.

Re: 'Better' names for this game

Yeah, I've got to hear this. EtD almost destroyed the entire Spyro franchise (literally), whereas LoS has given it more life than it's had since the Insomniac days. I've got to know how LoS is worse than EtD.

Re: 'Better' names for this game

Well OK then. tongue

1. Extremely annoying fanbase which (in general) constantly obsesses over Cynder and how "hot" she is
2. Stupid, repetitive combat gameplay that gives me a headace
3. Stupid, repetitive, linear levels with dark scenery that often makes it impossible to tell where you're going.
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.
5. Oh and speaking of bosses: Frustrating, pointless boss fights. Arborik comes to mind.
6. The ending. You know, where the world is expolding. Or is that the best part because it's finally over? =P

Enter the Dragonfly was at least close to what Spyro was meant to be. With a little more work, I think it could have been a great game.

Re: 'Better' names for this game

"1. Extremely annoying fanbase which (in general) constantly obsesses over Cynder and how "hot" she is"

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. big_smile I liked the art of the levels if not the linear-ness. And I recommend playing in an extremely dark room. big_smile

"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 big_smile).

"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.

Re: 'Better' names for this game

If EtD hadn't been a completely mockery of the originals, I'd probably be a bit more charitable towards it. As it is... The only fun bit of gameplay in that one became incredibly unfun over time (because I had to keep redoing it thanks to a single spot that would kill me).

Personally, I'm just glad that the Spyro franchise still exists. I appreciate LoS for that (and for Gaul, mmmm...Gaul... big_smile). 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.

Re: 'Better' names for this game

How is a sequel a rip-off? It's supposed to be like its predecessors! Does that make TEN a rip-off of ANB?

Re: 'Better' names for this game

If it had been a good sequel that followed better with the Insomniac games and wasn't a mockery of them, I'd be more charitable. As is, the game feels so unlike the originals and is of such poor quality that the most charitable thing I can say of it is that it's a shoddy attempt at imitation.
