Alright, hehe. It just seemed like you were saying it was a fact LoS was more popular than Skylanders.

Getting on a more happy subject, I heard if Skylanders sells well then they might (no promises) make a new Spyro game all to himself, like another LoS or Classic game.

Yeah, it was in my think.

Purple, I think you misunderstood me. The bottom half was not towards you.

And of course you are, that'd be stupid of me to say you aren't because I'm expressing my opinion as well.

And it's kind of a fact when saying Skylanders is more popular than LoS. Saying you like LoS more than Skylanders is an opinion.

Love the avatar, Purple.

And you think he's more popular in LoS than Skylanders?
Nope.avi
I think you're thinking about your opinion.

Skylanders is way more popular than LoS. Have you seen how much money it's getting? How many good reviews it has? Way more than LoS.
I think you're taking about your opinion there.

well i wished they had continued this too, mainly because it was the closest they ever got to adult spyro and it was a great, dramatic, action-packed adventure.

I more then love TLoS sieres. I think he is a way popular in TLoS then Skylanders. I don't dislike Skylanders, but I like him more in TLoS.

Yeah, I don't really see how it could be continued either. A new LoS game would be cool, I guess, but I don't see how they can continue it without making it completely SxC, and a game full of that seems boring, in my opinion.

I think they took the right approach with Skylanders. Spyro's as popular as ever, WAY more popular than he could ever get with LoS.

I thought LoS had a fine ending, I don't really see how they could continue it.

@daimondcynder21
It means the first trilogy of games in Spyro. There may be another trilogy but I highly doubt it will be TLOS. Skylander or something may become a trilogy...
I hope not though. I really love TLOS. :'(

It was touching! I liked Spyro x Cynder since the ending of 'A New Beginning' and that really boosted up my interest on the pairing! smilie
