Alright, wingsofpurple. I was just asking about it, because I could have turned the "why do you post if you don't like the game" thing on you since you posted in the Skylanders gamepage. Didn't want people to say you were being hypocritical.
Okay, then. Misunderstanding, terribly sorry.

I think it is, not sure. But I think it can fall into the "no personality" thing as well (because of what CynderFan1309 said). I suppose it can show a little personality, although not too much.

Of course, it's fine. Apologies as well.
Although about the never agreeing, that's not really relevant. I have a few friends who disagree with me on a lot of things; we are still best friends. We just put our differences behind us.

And for the personality; I noticed that as well. I still didn't see too much personality in LoS Spyro, I thought his voice acting was emotionless and he was sulking a lot. The 'I should have came back sooner' thing can fall into the no personality thing as well, because of the fact he merely follows what everyone is telling him to do like a puppet without any questions.

@ cynderlover well sorry. jezz.
it just seems like you never agree with me.

@levanjess
i don't disslike skylanders, i gave it a sporting chance, and i was exsited, honestly. but it really let me down. i do like it, i just, don't like it at the same time. see what im saying? also i never said i felt sorry about sorry about some one's oppinion. well, i geuss i did, but i didnt mean it like that sorry for the mix up.
about the personality, think about it. when you say something, do you go: I AM so SORRY! i let EVERY ONE down. I SHOULD have COME back sooner!.
i am not sure if that was a quote from the game or not, i can't remember.

talk to ya soon...

I assumed you meant that because you said I disliked it sooo much.
Also, you said how you think SSA Spyro is pixels? Do you dislike Skylanders?

And you can't feel sorry for someone because they have an opinion.
And I didn't really mean it in a mean way. I just asked how pixels deserve anything. I guess it did seem negative, sorry about that.

And you didn't explain how Spyro has a personality in LoS?

Everythiiiing?
This and the Skylanders page are the only times I spoke to you.
I believe you were the one who started it with me on the Skylanders page.
How hypocritical.

Also, you didn't explain how Spyro has a personality at all. You need to explain how he does, or I can't take it seriously.

#9310 wingsofpurple 01:01:14 09/11/2011
well they are actually pixels, i agree with that, but i thought you ment in negatively. well, if you look at the post you kinda did dis it.

#9309 wingsofpurple 00:58:05 09/11/2011
@cynderfan why do you have to put your nose into every thing i say?


actually jess, i never said you hated him, but if i did then i stand corrected. you think what you think, i think what i think, so there. i honestly feel sorry that you don't like this game. thats probobly because the rest of my family donsn't give a damn to it. oh well.

#9308 CynderFan1309 00:29:10 09/11/2011
Going to agree with LevanJess.
Spyro is completely sulky and emotionless in LoS. There is no personality there.
avatar
#9307 LevanJess 00:21:37 09/11/2011
I don't hate the game, it's just my least favorite.
Also because I posted here already and have free will.

They are pixels on a screen. Skylanders, LoS, Classic, they're pixels. I get that you like Spyro, but that doesn't change the fact they are pixels.

See first paragraph.
Also, what personality? Spyro has no emotion whatsoever and he's like a puppet. He merely follows everyone's orders without question. Where's the personality in that?

I didn't care for the story, personally. I found it rushed and full of plotholes.

this ain't pixels brotha! (actually sista) this is SPYRO! MY HERO! the only person whose pixels is sSa. (p.s thats skylanders) and just for the record, jess, spyro dose have a personality in this game, its just you DISLIKE him so much you just cant see it. i think its and awsome, beautyfull, moving game that is filled with story, and i think its touching personaly.

How do pixels deserve anything?
Not trying to start a fight, just wondering.
