I'm not mad.

I just told you to give some examples of his BIG personality?
Eh, the beginning is pretty much the only time he showed emotion other than sadness or "love" with Cynder (a black dragoness he barely knew) and caring and brotherly love towards Sparx.

okokok.. no need to get mad!

(if you are)


I call it BIG cos i was frustrated, smilie
you didnt tell me to give examples - just others LOL
and I agree, he shows personality more at the start and then you just hav to have to imagine that hes like that all the time. And hes cute when he says to ignitus that "he'll try."

AWWWWW SO CUTE! smilie

It is called a 'typo'. I was in a rush while typing that sentence, as I was getting ready for school. I thought you knew what a typo was?

I'd think anyone with 1/4 of a brain would think that was a typo, since the 'm' key is right next to the comma (,) key.

i guess i see what you mean. i guess it just depends on the passion you have for spyro or certain spyro games. ANB was my second spyro game and i was kinda young when i played my first spyro game so i was pulled into TLOS before the others so ive liked both series.

You call that BIG? Give examples?

Alsom if you played DotD, you'd notice he sulked BEFORE Ignitus died.

I've played all 3 LoS games. ANB is my favorite, probably.
You're the 4th person who said he had a personality, but gave no examples. Give. Some. Examples.

In ANB, he had a little personality in the beginning with his brotherly love for Sparx. That's about it. After that he just mindlessly followed everyone's orders and sulked around and seemed to only care for a stupid black dragoness he barely knew.

Give some examples?

woah,, if you've played the first legend of spyro game, you would know that Spyro has a BIG personality and doesnt SULK, he just feels like he has lost the battle - that he failed ignitus, etc.

smilie

soz, just my opinion smilie

Thanks, Purple, for giving a reason. Love (which was rushed and a bit boring, in my opinion) is probably the only time he showed any emotion besides sulking, like in the end (which I didn't like. Come on, he had plenty to fight for).
And I guess he could be called brave.

Is there anything else?

And okay, wingsofpurple! And I like Volteer as well.

hmmm well he said this when malefor turned cynder evil for a few moments near the end.
"you leave me nothing to fight for" or something like that and small to go with it that makes him compassionate and spyro cares for others by saving them (even though your controlling him it still counts i think) if it wasnt obvious he loves cynder. he is brave on your own account.

#9317 LevanJess 02:28:49 09/11/2011
Okay, then do you mind showing me a few examples of where he showed any personality at all besides being sulky? I didn't see many other characters with personality, either (Hunter didn't have much).
I thought his voice acting was bland and he was just sulky and he just followed orders without any question like a puppet.

Because I posted here already and I can show negative opinions if I want (this IS the page for DotD, negative and positive opinions are allowed).
Besides, I don't hate this game.

sorry to but in but in certain ways the creators did CREATE a personality for spyro just as they did for other characters.
and just asking,(i know you have free will and you have every right to post here) but why do you post here if you dont really like this game?


P.S. i love this game!
