/vr/ - Retro Games

And it’s a damn good one. Specially when you fly.

That's not crash 2

>>10678838
>run and jump
OP is a fake and gay faggot
Spyro is a charge and glide

>>10678838
>jump and run

>>10678838
Game is a bit simplistic gameplay wise, probably aimed at younger folks.
Otherwise its perfectly fine for what it does.
Crash is better.

>>10678838
Spyro 1 is a great game. 2 is good but I wasn't a fan of 3. But funnily enough all three become great if you aren't going for 100%

What exactly are you going for in Spyro 1 if not 100%? There's nothing else to do.

>>10680252
They all fucking suck

>>10678838
Spyro 1 is great. Getting the gems is fun and the levels are well designed with genuinely clever secrets. Spyro 2 really drops the ball. I like some of the levels but they ruined collecting the gems. Instead of being placed in bunches in intuitive locations theyre placed as if the level designed tripped and fell carrying a box of them and it immediately gets annoying and tedious. Spyro 3 makes Donkey Kong 64 look tame.

>>10678838
It's really good, fantastic even, but it's too easy to be the very best

>Spyro 3 makes Donkey Kong 64 look tame.
Spyro 3 is ridiculous at times but honestly DK64 still takes the cake
>>10680318
This literally doesn't happen neither on ePSXe nor on Duckstation, I honestly don't know what's wrong with OP's copy of the game

>>10680184
Why would I?

but that's not jersey devil

just rename the board to /vr/tendo already and only let americans post on it

>>10678838
How'd you manage to so royally fuck up your settings to the point that fucking Spyro of all games looks this bad?
Like, holy shit I'd kill myself if I had to live with your brain.

>>10680404
in my case, it was because it was the only method that I figured out when I first played it. Didn't know about the intended super charge route until much later.

>Find the closest piece of stable ground to jump from in order to reach a difficult place even if it's not meant to be reached this way
Isn't it a common conclusion to reach?

>>10680268
Torch Gnasty Gnorc, which is what Spyro says he wants to do in the very first level.

>>10680578
This is pretty interesting, actually. Spyro is an American-made platformer but it resonated better with Europeans compared to other ones for some reason. Maybe it's because the setting is more like a traditional fairy tale/fantasy with dragons, fairies and orc-like creatures? Though it probably boils down to the fact that there were a lot of N64 kids in American and the best platformers for that system were made by Rare and Nintendo. Which is extra funny when you consider that Rare is British and Nintendo Japanese...

ps1 was a lot more common in europe than n64. but im sure that the fairy tale setting also had a unique appeal. Im from europe and remember seeing spyro 1 ads on cartoon network and to an 8 year old me it looked mind blowing. At the time, I didn't know about the N64 or SM64, so Spyro was the first fully 3D game that I saw at all. I had played only SMB and some MS-DOS platformers (dangerous dave, prehistorik) up to that point, none of which I was able to get very far in the limited time that I had with them. Seeing the Spyro ads intrigued more than anything, because I couldn't wait to play a game where it was now possible go AROUND the enemies.

Tbh most people who like Nintendo also enjoy Crash, Spyro, Ape Escape, etc

>>10682262
>>10682262
The non-American nintenfags perhaps. In America everything needs to be made into a bipartisan issue and if you like nintendo you have to HATE the other companies and viceversa

>>10682284
American here. Owned both N64 and PS1. Loved Crash, Spyro, Ape Escape, SM64, Banjo Kazooie, And had mixed feelings on DK64. I am not the exception that defines you're poorly laid out and very biased rule either.

>>10682284
As a 3rd worlder I've actually always thought that Americans are supposed to be the last people to consolewar because they are rich and have always been able afford all of the consoles and games

why were old runny jumpers more soulful?

>>10682338
Brand loyalty is massive in burgerland because people base their identity on their consumer choices. Most kids only had one console at a time, if that

>>10680184
finally
next time i play spyro i dont have to remember the super charge pattern anymore

>>10681601
That must have been a challenging endeavour for you

>>10682284
my conception of it is not quite so clear cut. it wasn't sony fans vs nintendo fans as much as it was snes/gameboy fans vs the 64. that's when nintendo went from the the videogame company to its own small cult community.

The fact is that snoys got miserable selection of 3D platformers.
When you have a pile of shit then even rusty chunks may seem like gems.
