Do you have a major gripe about DotD?

Archae · Feb 18, 2009 3:43 AM

I have one main one.

The blasted camera goes screwy at times, and I can't tell where I'm going.
(Like in "The Destroyer" part.)

Its different for different people to what they are used to, i found the camera ok for DOTD

The Destroyer level... because it took me forever to find all those crystals the first time.

That could just be your tv - I have different presetting for mine (one of them being "game" )

The camera was one of my major gripes. At certain places when I want a full 360 view it would not let me so I was basically jumping into the unkown. Landing from flying was allways dificult and yes I know about the hold X button way. Also one of the blue crystals in the floating Islands I couldn't reace by flying( the one by the place where you enter an area where they throw those things that grab the Green chain).
But my main Complainet is that DOTD seems short compared to the other two in the triligy.

My major gripe is the hunter shooting the golem bit at the start of The Catacombs.

DID YOU SEE WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE?! The string wasn't taut, the arrowhead was too bulky for its body, he didn't even knock it correctly, the way it travelled was at odds with it's direction, the tail flailed around like anyone's business, and the speed was all wrong.

I hate hunter now, THANKYOU SIERRA.

lol, I thought the same thing. The way he used the arrow was so mechanical. And it seems like the arrow could tell the future, as the golem turned its head before it hit in its eye. Not to mention that I cant see how a woodern arrow could hurt a fire being.

JC_Kane · Feb 23, 2009 7:50 PM

I'd say they way he shot they arrow seemed so pathetic. It was like he barely just shot it and didn't he aim it at the ground anyways? That was definetly not very convincing.

Do I have a major gripe about DotD? Do you want me to pick just one? big_smile

1. The new art design, while nice, didn't suit the story and left me feeling like I wasn't playing a LoS game at all, which is fine...unless it's the final game in an established trilogy that had an established style for two consecutive games prior.

2. The voice acting. Oog. The monumental awfulness of Christina Ricci and Wayne Brady nearly ruined the whole game for me. Why, WHY, do so many people think Ricci can act? Honestly, I think they just like her because she's the one who delivered the line all Cynder fans wanted to hear and she's the voice of the "hot" new Cynder model. >(

3. Agreed with the screwy camera. It made certain parts of the game very hard to play.

4. The interactive cutscenes. Why has no one figured out that nobody likes those wretched things? >(

5. No Elora. Yes, this did bother me. Not just because she wasn't there but because the trilogy ended with only two girls having been in it, period. I had hoped our society had moved past this sort of thing.

6. Plot hole-creating new art designs.

7. A flat ending for a decent story. They really could have done better.

These, and several other reasons, are why DotD is my least favorite LoS game. It took all the potential built up by ANB and TEN, put it in a corner, and tried to cover it up with the table cloth of mediocrity.

Parotia · Feb 27, 2009 7:26 AM

um...

-the camera at times
-needing to know why the com. has to be so close to you. O_o (it feels very creepy having spyro be SO close)
-not enough armor. (I wanted more than what they offered, it just didnt feel like enough)
-Hunter was a bit annoying.
-so was sparx. I wish he didnt talk AT ALL!
-yes those interactive cutscenes. DONT I GET ENOUGH OF THAT IN GOD OF WAR!?!?!?!
-character dives down when you want to glide...at times.

there are a but more but I cant remember them all that much right now haha!

Personally I didn't find anything wrong with the game and frankly really enjoyed playing it...but that's a matter of opinion.

But yes there should have been more female characters, not only in DotD, but in the whole trilogy. I don't see why all the Guardians had to be male. In fact not even any of the extras were female. Not very politically correct.

And it would have been nice if they had featured a tribe of Satyrs.
