Word. Best game of the trilogy, raddest minigame of the lot.

Is this a world WHERE SPYRO 2: RIPTO'S RAGE DOES NOT EXIST?

Anyways, I've been playing some Binding of Isaac, thinking about getting Diablo 3. Also, Shadowrun demo.

Crashpunk · #**1082** 06-23-2012, 11:45 AM

Spyro 2 is my favorite in the series actually.

Spyro 2 was better than Spyro 1.

Spyro 3 was better than Spyro 2.

Spyro 2 is the best because of the minigame where you blasted that dumb sandcastle to bits.

So I see you are misinformed.

I liked the first game because the levels were so nice and big.

Daxter King · #**1087** 06-23-2012, 09:49 PM

Not dissimilar to your mother's vagina.

Spyro 2 has better swimming mechanics than Super Mario Galaxy

jumper · #**1089** 06-23-2012, 11:19 PM

I prefer Spyro 2 as well. This may be partially due to the fact that there's a glitch allowing you to jump higher than intended, which then allows you to get out of bounds and perform other glitches. Also, swimming in the air was cool.

I can't remember swimming being terrible in SMG. Except on Bouy Base Galaxy when you need to collect the star in the pokeball-esque area.

Hazel-Rah · #**1090** 06-23-2012, 11:22 PM

It wasn't terrible at all, i was using SMG as the reference standard for gameplay mechanics in a platformer.

Although 2 and 3 have more variety such as more playable characters and minigames, for some reason I like Spyro 1 the most (well, out of the original trilogy, that is. A Hero's Tail is my favourite Spyro game.). I just can't explain it, really. It's the same thing with Ratchet and Clank 2 vs Ratchet and Clank 3 - although 3 doesn't have shitty minigames such as Giant Clank and those horrible space ship levels, I like 2 more.

Phylum · #**1093** 06-24-2012, 02:56 AM

RnC 3, despite being a potentially better game, was really easy. Money was also really common. Gone were the days of RnC 1 where saving for the Ryno actually felt like an effort.

That's not to say hours of farming hoverboard races and the Giant Clank level were fun by any means. It's just that they made obtaining the gun much more satisfying.

doomcorner64 · #**1094** 06-24-2012, 03:02 AM

Another thing that makes it easier is the free Bogon weapons. It's hilarious that you can get an overpowered weapon such as the Lava Gun for FREE.

Crashpunk · #**1095** 06-24-2012, 03:03 AM

I too like RnC 2 more. I liked the weapons and amour much more and it was more challenging then 3. Also the fact it was the first Ratchet game I played.

Same applies for Spyro 2. Spyro 2 was one of my first video games so it holds a place in my heart :3
The real reason why I liked Spyro 2 more then 1 and 3 was the collectables were more interesting and I loved the worlds and levels (Summer Forest, Winter Tundra, Autumn Plains ect.) Also the fact you can play an extra mini-game-like level in after you beat the final boss as a reward.

doomcorner64 · #**1096** 06-24-2012, 03:08 AM

Well, to be fair, it has been years sice I actually played Spyro 2, mainly due to the fact that my disc is scrated like HELL and it isn't available on PSN in the UK and Ireland.

Crashpunk · #**1097** 06-24-2012, 05:36 AM

It isn't!? That's shocking. Normally PS1 classics are the first to be uploaded onto there.

Hazel-Rah · #**1098** 06-24-2012, 05:45 AM

You can make a PSN in a region that has it. That's what I plan on doing for Gex 2 Enter the Gecko, which isn't available in my region for some reason.

That minigame was terrible, however

Nuh-uh.

Spyro 3 has the Super Bonus Round which fulfils the same function.

I do like the collectibles in 2 more (Orbs are awesome), but everything else—the music, levels, characters, story, boss fights, minigames—is superior in 3.

MeechMunchie · #**1100** 06-24-2012, 06:46 AM

All that jumping around in BRINK! made me want to play Mirror's Edge.

In retrospect, not a great idea, since it's cost me £200+. Damned good game, though.

Apparently it was, but it quickly removed for some reason. Probably some game-breaking glitch or bug that wasn't in the PS1 version.

Nepsotic · #**1104** 06-25-2012, 11:41 AM

that doesn't necessarily mean they would permanently remove it. Wouldn't they release a patch or something? Either way, it's not up there now.

Disgruntled Intern · #**1105** 06-25-2012, 11:57 AM

Skyrim. When I can. Dorian is totally fucking hooked on it so I spend more time helping her/teaching her how to use things like the enchanting table than I actually play my own character. Dawnguard has me excited though.

Mr. Bungle · #**1106** 06-25-2012, 04:29 PM

Dawnguard does look awesome, though I don't know much about it. Is there gonna be a whole new area to explore, or just new quests and NPCs in the main area?

They said you can go to Oblivion and it's got new perktrees and weapons I think, not sure if there's like a huge new area but yeah, Oblivion should be accessible.

Mac Sirloin · #**1108** 06-26-2012, 08:38 AM

Gave MGS1 on PSX a try. Not really my thing. I'm used to being coddled by all the extra gadgets from the later games. Also the audio is a bit messed up, but that's not really the game itself's fault.

I'm also grinding FF7 like a dishevelled manwhore as I type this. I'm at the Nibel Mountains before rocket town, just recruited ~~Vincent~~ Dracula. I'm at a point where none of the enemies can kill any of my party before basic attacks down them, so my party is just a bunch of fury-ring wielding murderers.

Too much stuff to explain. I can say it's pretty damn good and didn't disappoint, if you don't mind the odd bug (bodies frozen in a standing posture after being killed, dropped equipment floating...)

Other than that, pretty solid. Lots to do, well worth it.

Also... new dragons, crossbow, vampire lord, werewolf skill tree, new armour, armoured trolls, new generic enemies. The new skeletons are tough as shit, no more 'clank' and fall apart. It's like fighting a mob of deathlords.
