I thought A New Beginning was decent. Rest were shiwz.

You should have been more specific. It looks like a poll about the games, and not your stories.

spyrothedragon · Jan 10, 2011 1:50 PM

My stories.

Sorry for the comfusion.

It's for my stories. The vote is for the games.

Erza · Feb 06, 2011 2:47 AM

ANB had class, unlike the others.

Swaffy · Feb 07, 2011 1:22 PM

We are talking about the fan stories, not the games themselves.

No offence as is your opinion, but If you want to get into games you have to be open minded and try other stuff...

Indeed she does.

shade105 · Feb 09, 2011 4:45 PM

Well, yeah. Problem about this forum though is that there's way too many Legend haters, and anyone who likes the game is chewed out like a piece of bobble gum.

Stormy · Feb 09, 2011 9:40 PM

I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I have only seen the games themselves being "chewed out," not the people who like them. But if you're actually being insulted for liking a game, then yeah, that's a problem.

shade105 · Feb 10, 2011 2:47 PM

Well, I mean it's kinda where they treat you in a lesser way for liking the games. That's what bothers me truly.

I could be totally wrong about this, but this seems to be what I've been noticing in Spyro communities. LoS fans don't have an easy position to argue.

There aren't many things about LoS that you can point out and say, "That's what makes this a great game" and have everyone agree. What the fans consider good things are often considered flaws by others. For example, the part in this thread where I said LoS was cliche and shade105 said he liked cliche.

LoS fans also don't have the best reputation with some people, because a lot of members probably remember right after DotD came out when a lot of very young kids who knew nothing about how the internet works suddenly discovered that they could share their opinions with the world and annoyed the original fans, who tended to be older and more level-headed when it came to Spyro. Meaning they didn't scream and cry and send death threats when people didn't like the classics. Those fanbrats are mostly gone, but they didn't leave many people with a good impression of LoS.

LoS fans are also the minority around here these days, and it's hard to argue when everyone's against you.

So if you put that all together, if a LoS fan points out something they like about the series, original fans are going to come pouring in demanding to know why they like that. And it's hard to argue with that because there's not always a reason why, or at least not one that they'll accept.

I used to do this with people who like Twilight. The series has all kinds of things wrong with it, and I figured that if people liked it they're obviously just not aware of it. So I would argue with them about it, even if they clearly didn't want to. But then I realized I that they don't have to justify to people like me how they could dare to like Twilight. It's fine if they just like it, even if there isn't a reason I agree with. It doesn't make them stupid.

That aside, reasons are helpful if you're going to be arguing for something, though. So if you come into a thread and declare something like "Classic Spyro's attitude sucked," be prepared to back it up, because people will challenge it.

Well, that's enough of my rambling. TL;DR, it's hard to argue for LoS, but being able to argue for it isn't and shouldn't be a requirement for liking it. BUT if you do make statements you can't back up, be prepared for people to try to argue, because that's what forums are for.

shade105 · Feb 15, 2011 4:49 PM

Of course, that's completely true; I mean everything you say. You make a great point, i mean it is difficult to argue when you are so outnumbered, and trolling is completely out of the line in that position. That does not mean i have ways to back my words up, thing is that when i do manage to pull of an argument everyone else goes to trolling. Haha, oh well, I guess that's just how the internet rolls with things.

And true, we are a huge minority here now, aren't we? I mean, there used to be a couple good TLoS fans here, but now there either totally silent, remain in the RPG section only, or have left.

ontels · Feb 15, 2011 7:40 PM

Don't blaim evrething on trolling.

shade105 · Feb 16, 2011 2:51 PM

Well, I mean of course you cannot do that. There are plenty of people here that will put a pretty good argument that in fact is convincing. Lol I've actually taken my time now and have come to agree that in reality, they could have done a LOT to DotD, and compared to the former TLoS games, which had creamy and thick plots, DotD actually feels kinda watered down and such.
