That part was a joke

if people actually read my whole posts they'd understand me...

Come on, that's too harsh. I just think the game could have been improved a LITTLE bit. Spyro: Dawn of the POTHOLES!? Come on, that's too much.

#8113 GamingMaster_76 07:32:56 19/05/2010

SLIGHTLY better? The storyline was complete cliche and this game should have been called 'Spyro: Dawn of The Plotholes'.(As a joke)

Err . . . I liked this game a lot. I think the plot of this game could have been slightly better, as in not so strait forward. I enjoy that it takes longer to kill foes, because it chalenges you more. The new designs make Spyro look more realistic, and I like that too. They tried to make things dramatic and to me that failed. Like the whole ending vid, rubish. And you could see the couple thing coming.

Okay..... maybe that was a bit too harsh.... xD

Hopefully they'll go on with the world created in this triology. The old Spyro games were all childish crap. 'Oh no, the dragon realms are in trouble again! little baby dragon has to save the day!'
Seriously? Gag me, please.
LoS has its flaws, but at least they've done away with that God-awful excuse for a dragon that spyro used to be...

TLOS's story line is complete cr@p and lame. Spyro's personality is like a brick wall, and he is ugly, plus his big eyes stand out ALOT, and his muzzle looks like someone punched it in permanently. And his horns are useless. How is he suppose to charge if he can't even use them? You might as well call it the Head Bash Attack or Skull Bash or something among thoughs lines. It only has button mashing in the game play. OMG 13 APES HAVE BEEN THROWN AT ME! I MUST NOW SMASH THE SAME BUTTON OVER AND OVER!!!!!111. IT has no puzzles, it's just mindlessly pressing the same button over and over, then you do a dance in the air for no reason. Heck, it takes TLOS Spyro a long time to beat ONE enemy, while original spyro can kill one enemy using just one charge, and maybe a quick blast of flame. By the time TLOS Spyro kills five apes, Original Spyro would have defeated around eleven.
Try playing a REAL button mashing game, and you will see how cr@p TLOS is. I've played a real button mashing game, and it's actually fun, even though I'm not a button mashing fan.

Sure, it's childish, but it's still a good game. And it's not THAT childish. My sister is sixteen, yet she still loves to play the games, and she hates TLOS. TLOS may seem not a childish game, but to me, it is childish. The creatures tried to make is so epic and dramatic, but they failed in doing so (and tried to hard), making it lame. It's the exact opposite of what Spyro was meant to be. Plus, DOTD just gave it heaps off plot holes. Mind if I list them? They ruined Spyro. And no, I don't just mean the game, I also mean Spyro himself.

I don't consider TLOS as a Spyro game. I just think of it as a completely different game, and they gave it Spyro's name just so the game sells better.

I respect your opinion and all, but posts like this make me gag.

I respect your opinion, but RIGHT NOW I MUST ASK-

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?!
