no we cannot

impolite sage as I don't like Spyro, never have and it's a game for girls.

>>1160226
Explain

>>1160226
I don't like spryro either, but "game for girls"?

>>1160227
It's a pink fucking baby dragon in a mediocre 3d platform series that appeals to little girls.

Dude, do you know where this sweating penguin came from?

>>1160237
Yeah dude, I'm pretty sure it was that piece of shit character James Byrd that was introduced in the third game. That game blew.

>>1160238
You know what I really mean.

>>1160239
Oh, you mean the image? The obligatory spyro thread image?

>>1160240
Bump

>>1160235

Because girls like it, you can't too?

Do you even puberty?

We can agree on that, but you posted the wrong music.

Spyro 1 is comfier.

Replaying this game right now. It's still my favorite 3D platformer of that era.
I'm still confused why there was never a Spring world, though.

>>1160212
Spyro a shit.
Most comfiest is mario sunshine.

>>1160550
Because spring comes after winter, but you beat the game in winter world.

Spyro 2 was the only game in the series that I really enjoyed. The others didn't seem to have quite as much character. I guess Year of the Dragon is okay, but it pales in comparison to Ripto's Rage, IMO. I also thought Season of Fire on GBA was handled pretty well. It's not bad for a platformer with isometric graphics.

>>1160550

I always figured spring was represented by the Glimmer tutorial stage, since it's Spyro's entrance into Avalar. Of course, it's not a hub world, but still...

>Spyro The Dragon 1
>less character than Ripto's Rage
Get the fuck out of here, you're worse than Moneybags.

Those dualshock controls

>>1160548
Spyro 1 is desolate and kind of lonely. I liked that though. It's like real life.

>>1160550
It was rushed and it was moved to the 3rd game. I should have saved the 4 page copypasta someone screencapped talking about this.

>>1160689
I hated the new characters in Spyro 3. Bad controls, shallow characterization (an accent and an animal), and annoying music. Also fuck the minigames, and most of the levels weren't memorable and they reused too much shit from the last game.

>>1160365
Nigger fuck you

>I hated the new characters in Spyro 3
I believe that anyone who didn't hate them enjoys really terrible games like Bubsy 3D. Because their levels were watered down as shit to accomodate for the extremely limited controls. It was late into the PS1 era too, it was the kind of effort and quality you'd expect from...I dunno, Saturn launch titles.

Both 1 & 2 are fantastic games. I really like the lonely feel of the first game, so I was slightly annoyed by the new characters in the 2nd, but they were tolerable. Lots of awesome levels in both.

These things are the biggest reason for me liking Ripto's Rage slightly more.

>>1160912
I didn't like the minigames/puzzles/whatever people call them in 2. I wish the orbs had just been something you had to explore and do tricky platforming for, or beat minibosses (which actually is what some of the challenges were).

>>1160939
>I wish the orbs had just been something you had to explore and do tricky platforming for
Those were my favourites too. I loved listening for those faint dinging sounds and trying to get to it.

The other kind were often alright too because they could be pretty challenging as well.

is something pornographic going on in these images

>>1160953
YES

>>1160953
Yes. I guess you could call it a suborder of a specific fetish.

>>1160975
Okay this is getting out of hand, take a break anon.

Sure I can escort you, Hunter's just over there. Wait, where are you going? That's the wrong direction. No, that's directly towards the enemies, no that's still-OH FUCK YOU WHY ARE YOU GOING AROUND THIS ENTIRE SECTION HUNTER WAS LIKE 5 FEET AWAY FROM WHERE YOU STARTED

Should I cop this, /vr/?

>>1161118
I can't believe THIS was the only thing to make me laugh today.

>>1161136
Glad to be of service

Baby dragon? If we're following this logic, then that means Super Mario is a baby plumber, Megaman is a baby android, Simon Belmont is a baby vampire slayer, and everyone in the world is subsequently a baby. Actually, referring to orgasmnisms in their baby forms actually makes them moar endearing. I like it.

>>1161118
So many welps

I honestly liked the first one more. I think it was because the homeworlds were actually a threat, you know? No place to take it easy, gotta get through, gotta beat Gnasty Gnorc.

>>1163423
Not to mention the subtle humor
>Frenchmen frogs moon you and run away
>Guh-nasty Guh-nork

>>1163423
I liked the first one the most because it was just Spyro exploring non-linear levels, kicking gnorc ass, collecting gems and saving his fellow dragons. No annoying sidekicks that aren't fun to play as, no obnoxious NPCs giving me some half-assed reason on why I should go from point A to point B to collect the talisman/orb/egg/whatever. Although I did like Elora, Hunter, Bianca (sort of) and the Professor. The minigames and sidequests were a nice thought, but some of them were really bad.

Also, I liked the music from the first game the best

>>1160912
Yeah, the lonely feel imo made the game more enjoyable. Aside from Elora, Hunter and the Professor I didn't like any of the new characters from 2 or 3, especially the annoying NPCs that only appeared in one level or the playable characters other than Spyro. Bianca was alright but meh.

I wish Naughy Dog and Insomniac collaborated and made a Crash/Spyro crossover for the PS1 when they had the chance. It was possible since they were good friends and worked in the same building on the Universal Interactive Studios backlot.
