Literally called the Spyro trilogy "bad games".

What are you smoking and where can I buy it?

They were at best average at the time. They're 20-year old relics that haven't aged well and now they're being dug up and released again as something worth playing.

If you like the games and want to play them, then fine. I've got no issue with that. But don't sit here and pretend it's on any other basis than nostalgia and it's not regressive.


can you elaborate more on the havent aged well ?

He can't. The original Spyros still play pretty well. And it's not like they're selling the trilogy at full game price. Literally complaining about nothing.

A good year is about nothing in video game development time, especially when you consider it was also the 90s and it took more effort and longer hours to make games than it takes today.

You didnt address my point about Mario 64.

Bullshit. These games were literally pumped out in about a year. A year back then was pretty much the entire dev time.

And what was your point, exactly? You seemed to just be trying to deflect from the issue that Spyro is deeply derivative of Mario 64 by saying the camera wasn't good.

Nothing wrong with nostalgia here and there. Rewarding companies by paying them for a trip to 20 years ago, like you'll be doing when this trilogy re-releases, there's a lot wrong with it.

You said the reason Spyro and Crash sucked/didnt age well was because they were Mario clones (which they really werent), which leads me to believe you think Mario 64 aged well and to which I will immediately point to the awful camera and laugh in your face.

How does saying they're derivative of something equate to the original property aging well?

You're reading into something I didn't even say.

developers dont make enough money!
developers shouldnt try to make more money!

If you don't see the slippery slope of giving them your money every time they wave some of your dear memories in your face so they can sell it right back to you, then that's on you. I'll be over here, living in the present.

You literally gave that as the sole argument for why it didnt age well. If that is the case, youre arguing Mario 64 objectively aged better and since it didnt derive off of anything, lacks any more reasoning in favor of it not aging well according to your standards.

No, you're trying to pigeon-hole me into saying Mario 64 has aged well so you can say I have a bias towards it. This topic wasn't even really about Mario 64, or Spyro for that matter. The fact Spyro is a poor man's platformer is besides the point.

The only time I recall Mario 64s camera ever really bothering me was at the main floor of Peachs Castle.

I asked you to explain why they didnt age well. You gave one reasoning. That reasoning was they were Mario 64 clones.


Soulessly ripping the 3D platform mechanics from Mario 64 and making them worse isn't "one thing", it's the whole thing.

I said since Mario 64 wasnt a clone and you gave only 1 criteria for something to not age well, you must believe that Mario 64 has aged well. I point to an extreme flaw with Mario 64 that hasnt aged well and that both Spyro and Crash did better.

Theres no way around this.


You simply aren't making sense. Why does ripping off from one thing somehow make that thing immune from aging? You're talking about two different, independent factors here. They've both aged poorly, Spyro even more so because it's derivative of Mario 64. That doesn't mean Mario's aged well, but it's certainly aged better.

I never said Crash was a Mario clone.

Spyro most certainly is a Mario clone.

Is this the part of my post you're going to argue?

Well I've kind of already dismantled your "argument", so if you're just going to keep making stuff up out of thin air, then yes, I'm moving on to your other infractions.
