Comments
this is a great game
Fanservice does not entail taking ideas from fans. Fanservice entails pleasing fans. No offense, but this game has "This is for teh Cyndah fans" written all over it. If you don't believe me, look at the fandom and try to convince me it wasn't fanservice when everyone says DotD is their favorite game entirely because of Cynder.
As for SxC - yeah, I don't like it. I was open to it when I first picked up ANB, because that's when the series was, you know, good, and had any amount of effort put into it. Then I joined the fandom. My distaste started to grow. Then DotD killed the pairing - and our dearest Cindah - altogether for me. I look at DotD and I see a lot of lack of respect from the writers for their own story. As a storywriter-to-be in my own right, I find nothing else more appalling than a writer who doesn't give a lick about the characters he writes about.
DotD was made to be popular with the majority in the fandom. It succeeded. Big time. That was their intention.
...and for all you know, they could have easily taken the "I love you" line from the countless, countless wishes from the fanbase that Spyro and Cynder become an item. :p
Seriously, though, I'm not trying to squabble about it, but I want to make it clear *why* I feel the way I feel. If you disagree, feel free to tell me your thoughts. Also, this is just for future reference, and it doesn't bother me much, because I know it's a weird name - but you spelled my username wrong. XD

It wasn't fanservice, Fashun. Some fans who don't like SXC call it fanservice, and the game didn't take any ideas from fans to be called fan service.
I miss how TLoS was before it got trainwrecked by fanservice...

... I would say what Spyro game I think is the worst, but I'd better not. xD
Well, ETD was the worst Spyro game ever made, since the publisher rused the developers to finish it by the end of 2002. But I still play it once and a while.
No..... I'm just angry at the fact that people complaining that it's not going to change, and that it's over and done with and all, but they let people bash ETD all they like. I loved ETD because it had the original atmosphear, and everyone is overrating on how bad it is, just like how you're annoyed that people are bashing TLOS.
Everyone's excuse is always, "oh because it's glitchy and it has long loading times". They just think about that only, which just pisses me off....

You can. It's just it seemed to me, you've been hyped up with ETD, like it's a new game or something.

I didn't mention anything about an ETD remake. Can't I even mention ETD at all now?
DarkCynder, you are so self-driven about a ETD remake since you replayed ETD. Now, I see that you like the game so much, but it's highly unlikely that they'll do a remake of it.

I disagree. In my opinion, ANB on GBA is. (Rating: 5.6/10, ETD: 6.9/10)
These are just my opinions, anyway.
