    I don’t care what anybody says, getting your gems back from moneybags at the end is the most satisfying moment in gaming history

      Its even more satisfying if you pay him in every level before fighting the Sorceress to give him 8000 gems and in the reignited trilogy with his new voice

    If you pay close attention and know a decent amount of early-2000's trivia, you might notice that the ice ballerina you have to defend from hockey thugs is named after Nancy Kerrigan, the figure skater who famously got attacked by goons after a practice session because Tonya Harding wanted the olympic figure skating medal for herself. Pretty nifty, ain't it?
    By the way, Nancy ended up scoring 2nd place while Tonya only managed to get 8th and then got banned from the sport as a result of the goon attack.

      I didn't, I never got to play through Spyro 1
      All we had when I was a kiddo (early 2000's in Croatia, like preschool days) all I remember was some guy selling bootleg and pirated copies in some store.
      Most of my Spyro versions were corrupted- In Year of the Dragon the fairy would literally say "this game is not original, it won't work" and after Evening Lake the game would break and it would just start over every time. Didn't even realize I was being cheated lol.
      Never beat a Speero game in my life, hoping to get a PS4 by November to play all 3 of em.

    8:01 “Spyro sets an example Sonic Adventure would follow in the future.”

    Spyro: Year of the Dragon came out in 2000.

      @SlowBurne Uhhh, no it's not? They're all 3D platforms and are really on the same level. Granted, given the choice between Sonic Adventure 1, Spyro 3, or DK 64, I'd pick Spyro 3, but the quality difference isn't that big.

    • @burnout713
      @burnout713 6 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Please, the quality difference isn't close. To be honest, I think DK 64 absolutely sucked and while I liked Sonic Adventure, it has aged absolutely horribly and I think it's only nostalgia that keeps it so high in a lot of people's minds. Year of the Dragon on the other thand is a masterfully crafted game. I would easily put it in the top five platformers I've ever played with only Jak and Daxter and Super Mario Galaxy as competition for the top spot.

    Spyro 2 and Spyro 3 definitely run a tight race, however Year of the Dragon's worlds just seem more immersive. There are more levels in general, so it just makes the world as a whole feel bigger and like a larger adventure awaits you. I remember the very first time I played it as an 8 year old back in 2001. It's like I instinctly knew that it was a masterpiece and that I was in for a ride. Besides the feel of a bigger adventure, the skateboarding and the story bring me in to 3 over 2. The little twist of fate with Bianca coming over to Spyro's side was cute and added an unexpected twist to the story. The story even hints and builds on this early on with Hunter being attracted to her and later saving her in Midday Gardens. The game is ALMOST perfect, besides the points you pretty much covered in the video. I also have the original version and I've never had a chance to play the Greatest Hits version. Also Spyro 3's rating on IGN actually indicates it's the best performing Spyro game of the trilogy with a 90% rating. Spryo 2 is somewhere around 85-87%. It's been a long time since I've looked up those statistics, but I do remember that much.

I also thought in the swamp mission that being able to sneak around the door where you have to pay money bags to open door was a feature then learned it wasn’t when I played Reignited when I tried to do it

      That's because the initial US release was unfinished due to Insomniac having to rush the game out the door to coincide with the real-life Year of the Dragon. Since the PAL version came out later, it had numerous bugfixes (like the Spike cutscene actually playing) and music changes. This improved version would later be re-released in the US as the Greatest Hits edition (as it was common in the day to patch major bugs in later printings of games), but the one most commonly available, including on the PS3 store, is the original, buggy, unfinished release.

      I liked 3 more than 2 because they fixed some of the problems I have with it. Like when u have to kill enemies to get an power up. Or having to do alot of backtracking in which; while optional, is just an little overboard with the level designs & requirement moves or whatever. And the missions in 3 are pretty fairly challenging and not as much difficult spikes or annoyance as 2 ( with the exception of 2 or 3 ones like Bently Boxing & Shellias mission in the haunted Swamp level ).

      There's definitely things to like, and things to hate. I kinda liked it, but with the first two games I thought that there were too many waves of enemies at every turn (I honestly would have had more fun if they cut the number in half), and I detested quite literally everything about Sparx. The low amount of animations, the model, the facial expression, the voice acting(At least the first game), and the writing.
      The third game I played and found it quite possibly the most "I love this"/"I hate this" game I've ever played, with how they took control of the camera from you. I loved the game when you had full control of the camera. I detested the game when you didn't.

One of my favourite parts of the original trilogy was being able to fully explore each of the worlds - climbing and gliding around to see what little nooks and crannies I could gain access to. With the legend series, you're on a path and surrounded by plants and other obstacles that force you to stay on it. There's little to no replayability, because it'd be the exact same experience every time. It's a good story, but eh.

    Spyro 3 was the one I played a lot when I was a kid. It was one of the 4 games I actually played and it feels like it's tied to me. Year of the Dragon came out the year I was born, and with the delay the Reignited Trilogy comes out 3 days before my birthday.

    Fun fact: A glitch with the dynamic difficulty system makes the blue-footed booby race in Harbor Speedway and the snowboard race in Super Bonus Round literally impossible on the highest difficulty. You either have to use a cheat code to set the difficulty manually or keep failing and hope the game decides you suck enough to drop the difficulty itself.

    You honestly couldn't put it any better than with that genius title: the trilogy just kind of... _ends_ with this game, what with a rather underwhelming secret ending (belch-only dialogue, anyone?), a somber track for Midnight Mountain, and who could ever forget that gut-wrenching "Thank you for playing. We'll miss you." in the Atlas' epilogue?
    That's what makes the second one that much better in my opinion, variety notwithstanding.

    One little cheat on that yeti snowboarding section of the bonus level that my brother and I figured out was that you could go ahead before the race and just stand in a star power up for about 5-10 minutes and then you start the race with all that star power and you never have to do tricks to boost your speed and you're always boosted. But if you don't stand there long enough, you do eventually run out of star power and have to speed up with tricks and power ups.

They were good, but not the same to me). I just don't understand why Hunter (a cheetah) could fall in love with Bianca (a rabbit). Now, all you have to do in this Spyro hype is to deal with The Legend Of Spyro in your videos.

Not to say that 1 and 2 werent the same but 1 did the best where everything felt so organic as far as platforming and the mechanics went. Hopefully the reignited trilogy doesnt do the same to me in a different way because 3 was the most amazing one.

    13:10 One region difference for playstation games: Here in the UK, we didn't get a "greatest hits" version of the game that had a green spine.
    Instead, we got "platinum release". The spine would be silver instead of black, and would have the word "platinum" on the box art somewhere.
    On some of the platinum releases, and especially on the ps2 platinums, the original box art would be present, albeit, scaled down, with a silver frame encompassing the small cover art.
    For some games that had amazing box art, it was a shame to see it share half the box cover with a silver border. But it is definitely preferrable to the green spine, which is sure to clash with many titles' colour schemes.

    People really overrate those cutscenes from Ripto's Rage. I mean, they were fine, but didn't really add anything significant to the game for me.
    And Ripto definitely cannot claim he's the most threatening villain in Spyro. He definitely has a better boss fight, but throughout the game he's just a bumbling idiot. The Sorceress is masterfully built over time as a despicable villain and a legitimate threat.
    It's too bad this guy has an irritating hard-on for Ripto's Rage for some reason. Other than that, I kind of like him.

      I played the third one first as a kid and was absolutely blown away by it. Ripto's Rage was actually the last one in the trilogy that I played and it remains my least favorite. It lacks the sense of progression you get in the other two games since it only has three home worlds. I also wasn't a huge fan of quite a few of the orb challenges. I still think Ripto's alright, and his boss battle is actually really cool, but yeah he's far from the level of The Sorceress.

      I think what people like about Ripto is he is a more proactive villain compared to Gnorc and Sorceress. You see him actively taking over Avalar and you have to chase after him. Gnorc and the Sorceress just wait for Spyro to make his way to them and never leave their bases. A shame we never really get a cutscene where Spyro confronts Gnorc or the Sorceress before the battle.

    • @burnout713
      @burnout713 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hmm, I can see that. Ripto is easily better than Gnasty Gnorc. But I felt as though the sorceress was really built up through her cutscenes throughout the game, had a legitimately disturbing end goal, and seemed like she was actively trying to stop Spyro's progress throughout the game. She was also built up with her snide little notes she left for Spyro at the character portals. Best of all, you saw how her actions of driving the Dragons away had actually affected the world as it was drained of magic. It's true you see Ripto and he actively confronts Spyro a few times, but what does he ever actually accomplish other than kick Moneybags around? Hard to get mad about that!
