I never got the appeal. The world is barren and generic, the soundtrack is forgettable, the art direction is clunky, the gameplay is boring, and every game is the same. It feels like Croc had a kid with Bubsy 3D.
>>12555587It was just one of those games created for Sony kids to help them cope with not having Mario.
Brandolini's law
>>12555587The fun is in autistically collecting all of the gems in every level. That's it. That's the game.
>>12555631And that’s what makes it the best game ever
>>12555587it’s unironically for babies. its a good game for what it is, but the “appeal” you arent clicking with is just you can run around in circles like an idiot without penalty in a cute fantasy space. at the time of release there were not many games where you could do that.
>>12555631Every 3D platformer ever. Donkey Kong 64 mogs them all it set the golden banana standard
It's the perfect game for when you want to run around as a gay purple dragon and collect brightly-colored gems for no reason whatsoever. I play it all the time.
I dont like Spyro nearly as much as other PS1 platformers/collectathons like Crash, Ape Escape, PacWorld or even the Looney Tunes games but its still a great game, I like how compact the worlds are, makes using the charge move more fun.
>>12555587>the art direction is clunkyYou're getting your 4chan buzzwords mixed up
auster thread
>>12555587Spyro 1 is the weakest of its trilogy
>>12556638It's the only one where you can clear everything on your first pass through, which I would argue gives it an edge over the others. But it does look/feel a little undercooked in a few areas compared to the sequels.
>>12555674>DK64>In The Year Of Our Lord 202X>GoodYeah, sure buddy. People actually had to make a rom hack for it to be enjoyed properly some 20+ years later>>12555728I had both Crash 1 and Spyro 1 growing. I liked Crash, but I hated how the camera was almost constantly behind the character. Sure, it added an interesting dynamic. Spyro felt more like Mario. Though desu, my favorite platformer on PS1 was Ape Escape followed by Muppet Monster Adventure (maybe with Bugs Bunny Lost In Time closely behind)>>12556638Please enlighten me, because Ripto's Rage is not fun
>>12555587I experienced Spyro at launch. Those graphics were insanely beautiful and dreamlike at the time. It still looks good. Suck it nerds
>>12556421ESL much?
>>12555587Anons used to put effort into bait.
>>12556727NTA, 2 has some high points. The hover, swimming, and power-ups are all nice additions. The levels have more complex layouts, and the new movement options make them fun to explore and make for some fun challenges.For more subjective matters: The levels all have distinct themes and I can remember more of them than I can for levels in the first game. The narrative bits also give the game a lot more personality, though I could absolutely understand this being a turnoff.My only major gripes are that while some minigames are fine, there are like 5 bad ones that really spoil the rest, and the mandatory backtracking to 100% some levels is annoying.
>>12555587you had to be there
>>12555587good game for when you eating subwau
>>12555587>The world is barrenContent per area is typical for the 5th gen. Sorry you need ubisoft slop on every step to enjoy a game.>genericDidn't play the game. The world's are the most unique thing about the game. Still unmatched today.> the soundtrack is forgettable>the art direction is clunkyBlind and deaf i see.>the gameplay is boring,Care to describe why or is that too complicated for you?>and every game is the sameNope. Spyro 2 and 3 are focused more on side activities and story and loose the fairytale vibe, minus the hub worlds in 2.>It feels like Croc had a kid with Bubsy 3D.So you never played spyro or croc or bubsy?The levels and movements have nothing to do with bubsy or croc.
>>12555587the zoomer in this OP is strong
>>12555587it's a furry game
>>12555587>the soundtrack is forgettableThis is the only part I agree with. The music isn't terrible or anything. It's just bland and forgettable. Felt like it went in one ear and out the other.
>>12559714What are you talking about? That's fucking bullshit.
>>12555587>>12555604Nintendo shity four flopped and lostDeal with it already
>>12560110SM64 outsold every brownstation game
>>12560112Not a big feat when Shitty Four has like only 4 games
>>12560112N64: 53 games that broke a million sales.ps1:123 games that broke a million sales.I wonder why mario sold so well?
>>12560245>ps1:123 games that broke a million salesThis is particularly impressive considering the PS1 piracy was rampant
>>12560584I never saw any of that going on. I do remember watching The Phantom Menace on a Gateway in my dad's kitchen, back when it was still in theaters.
>>12560245>No sourcesOkay boomer
>>12562790Same source as the mario one, genius.
>>12560584It really isn't. Ex commie nations never and would never buy anything related to consoles( most consoles bough in eastern europe came with the piracy chip) until years later while other nations had money to buy games and consoles.
>>12562801Your ass
>>12560584almost like the people who pirate games weren't going to pay for them anyway
It's not a bad game but I dislike how the main focus is on collecting hundreds of gems rather than having any real objectives. It makes the entire game feel like the 100 coin stars in Mario 64, which are the worst parts of that game and other games that have something similar. Spyro 2 and 3 tried to fix this by adding proper level objectives and missions but the gems are still the main focus and are made even worse by having more of them and spreading them out thinner across the now larger levels. It's really too bad because the graphics are pretty good, the music is great and the controls are decent, the actual game and level design was just never quite there.
>>12555723you also run around collecting daddy dragonsit has a customer base
