Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

What does this game have to do with Skylanders? It was the Legend of Spyro series that came right before, so it was likely the failure of that series that caused the Skylanders reboot.

Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

I suppose, but LoS is still more directly responsible for the reboot than Shadow Legacy. LoS had three entire games over three entire years to build up interest in the Spyro franchise. It clearly didn't succeed, or there would be more Legend of Spyro style games now.

Also... too late for what? You couldn't have done anything about it, anyway. tongue

Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

And do what, though? A few Spyro fans signing a petition or something would never have stopped Skylanders from being made. Only huge numbers of sales for the Legend of Spyro series would have done that, and there just weren't enough people who cared about the series.

(I'm not trying to tell you to go try to "convert" people to be Spyro fans, by the way; that would be extremely annoying and make us all look really bad. tongue)

Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

We have to be clever on this. Somehow talk about Spyro symbolically, just so enough people can boycott Activision.

Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

Just try to look at this realistically. There are probably more Skylanders fans now than there ever were Legend of Spyro fans. It's a huge success. Activision wouldn't give a *bleep* if you could somehow come up with hundreds of Spyro fans to "boycott" them.

"Talking about Spyro symbolically" doesn't make any sense as a plan, anyway. o.O

Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

I can't, because your question doesn't make any sense. What does it have to do with anything?

Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

See, that still doesn't make sense. I have no idea how that's supposed to be related to the original topic.

Please stick to one topic instead of trying to have a random conversation or I'm going to have to lock this....

Sometimes I wonder why this game existed...I mean, the concept wasn't bad, but then the game...

Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

EA are terrible, rushing unfinished games and have a completely disgraceful "customer service" and "bug report" team.

Re: Okay, Now I'm Wishing this Game Never Existed

The only things I didn't like about this game is that

a) It felt 'choppy' at times
and
b) It was far too short.

Had they gone through with this as a console game, I can see it getting much more attention. I remember playing through and wondering why on earth it wasn't a PS2 game.
