Riptocs are dumbys!

Gnice Gnorc · Mar 25, 2007 3:11 PM

I agree, this was a bad idea from the very very beginning...

No it wasan't, I like the ones in Cloud 9 and Jurasic jungle, but the rest suk. Why does everyone hate this game?

artiste_violet · Apr 17, 2007 12:15 AM

Cuz its full of glitches and it takes too long to load.

DanteAndVergil · Apr 17, 2007 12:35 AM

i hate it for many reasons but i agree with artiste violet it does take too long to load

Rexy · Apr 17, 2007 7:01 AM

They have it nail on the head. Heavy lag + return of Ripto + inexperienced developer = ouch!

Personally, I think they should`ve tried something more creative than ripping off Rhynoc, like Reptisaurs or Reptisaurians. It`s what I`m going with.

I didn't mind the load time for the GC version, but I guess the disc is smaller wink

The levels are all riptocoffs of older ones. Luau Island=Idol Springs, and Cloud 9=Cloud Spires. They were really scraping the bottom of the barrel when it came to design on this one.

Iceferno · May 09, 2008 9:47 AM

I wouldn't say they are. Lauau Island is quite different from Idol Springs imo. It seems more like something off Donkey Kong 64! tongue And Cloud 9 is a big advancement from Cloud Spires. You can go so high in Cloud 9 smile

Riptocs is a pretty pathectic name. I prefer Rhynocs. In this game it does seem that they ripped off a few things from insominac. Its too bad that they couldn't make the game as good as insominacs or even better.

Iceferno · May 12, 2008 10:50 AM

I thought Riptocs was only in Spyro Orange/Fusion? Would make more sense for it to originate from there...

ratchet · May 13, 2008 5:51 AM

no, they were dinosaur like creatures in ETD

MetalHead · May 13, 2008 6:11 AM

Riptocs are under Ripto's command, wasn't there some in Spyro 2?

Nope. They were just spirits and manipulated civilians.

Which is why I've tried to explain this with my own theorum...

-Ripto is brought into Avalar.
-He tries to conquer it.
-At this time, he has no army, so he manipulates the local beings, instead.
-Spyro comes, he fixes the woe, blah blah blah, e.t.c.
-Ripto, being a reptile...thing...survives the fall into the lava and wants revenge on Spyro and his kin.
-Sometime before/during Spyro 3, he finds a race of more reptile...things...and makes them into his own army, since he can't manipulate the civilians.
-Spyro 3 happens.
-Ripto observes all of this (EtD is set right after YotD) because he is small enough to go through that hole.
-Seeing the Rhynocs himself, and having a big ego, he decides to call his army troppers 'Riptocs', as a sort of an ironic gesture.
-Spyro 3 finishes. He attacks whit his Riptocs.

So...there?

I know this is off topic, but I dont think that Spyro, even with him knowing they are munipulated, Would kill the entranced local beings. Instead maybe he created them in the image of local beings using power spirits.

He kills innocent sheep for butterflies, though. He wouldn't bat an eyelid at killing those that are disturbing the peace. That is, if he HAS eyelids. Does anyone know if dragons would have eyelids, if they existed? It's really beginning to disturb me...meep.

ratchet · May 13, 2008 12:06 PM

i think they do, they arn't like lizards.
I Recon Sheep (and fodder) regenerate in The Spyro Universe otherwise why would their be unlimited sheep in the artisans homeworld? I mean Dragons regenerate, look at Spyro, he has a certain number of lives, and after he uses them all, he regenerates back at the homeworld.

Orly?I didn't notice the riptoc/rhynoc thing until now! It has been a WHILE since I played ETD
