    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.

      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.

      @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 5 лет назад +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.

    • @LordArikado
      @LordArikado 3 года назад +4

      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.

  • @TheNewgreatlife
    @TheNewgreatlife Год назад +5

    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 can’t say which of the trilogy is the absolute best, because somehow I never played Ripto’s Rage as a kid. It’s weird, we got the original Spyro the Dragon when it came out, Year of the Dragon when it came out, and even got both Enter the Dragonfly & A Hero’s Tail when they came out...but somehow not Ripto’s Rage. Slipped through the cracks I guess. It is strange that happened to be honest, as my sister and I loved Spyro and Crash but especially Spyro.
    So having missed Spyro 2, I can’t cast judgment. However, of all the Spyro games I *have* played, Year of the Dragon was my favourite. I love how innovative and expanded it was compared to the OG, and loved how much new shit they threw in. And I *love* how absolutely 2000 it is. A lot of the content and writing style exemplifies that strange transitionary period from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, and from the 20th century to the 21st. The addition of TOTALLY RADICAL skateboarding segments exemplifies what I mean lololol.
    The thing is though...I haven’t played this in over like 15 years. So seeing you play through this game has...filled me with such an UNIMAGINABLE amount of nostalgia! Like it’s actually caught me off guard. I’m suddenly remembering being back in the first house we lived in upon moving from Toronto, Canada to Southern California. Playing this game while sitting in front of the old classic glass screen TV in our living room that didn’t even have A/V jacks because it was made in 1989, forcing us to use an adapter until my parents finally decided my sister was old enough to get her own TV in her own room and bought her a more modern glass screen TV from 2004 that actually had the appropriate Red/White/Yellow A/V jacks. Sitting there with my sister explaining how playing a video game works. Remembering the early days when I still had to keep looking at the controller when I wanted to do stuff, and the day I realized that I had finally gotten the hang of video games because I no longer needed to do that, I knew where all the buttons were naturally and thus could keep both eyes on the screen at all times. Remembering playing the shit out of the skateboarding segment cuz it was the year 2000 and I was a 5/6 year old boy with a tomboy sister who was 9/10 years old and therefore loved any and everything EXTREME and RADICAL! Even the cutscenes...my god its amazing how the ENTIRE game and even the feeling I got while playing it is rushing back to me.
    And thinking of those days and that console has me remembering playing Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro and flipping through the BradyGames official strategy guide and always putting in the cheat code “AUNTMAY” in order to unlock EVERYTHING. All costumes and costume abilities (including invincibility and unlimited web fluid), and sometimes “WHATIF” to unlock What If? mode, which made all kinds of wacky changes. (There was one level where in What If? mode, you could find a giant floating banana and ride it all the way to the end of the level.) Ah and that game was even more special than all the others because it, in conjunction with the 90s Spider-Man animated series, triggered the beginning of my intense love for comic books and superheroes - specifically Spider-Man who is my all time favourite single superhero. (He’s tied with X-Men for all time favourite comics tho. If we’re talking individual character, I like Spidey more than any one X-Man. But counting the X-Men collectively, they’re firmly tied with Spidey.) I can’t tell you how much that influenced my life and my interests. So much of me started there, in front of a glass screen with PS1 controller in hand.
    It’s got me sad tho. Cuz the reason all these memories are so faded and have been put away in a box in the attic of my mind, only able to be brought forth by a video like this is because in like 2003 or 2005, our PS1 somehow disappeared. Lost in a move or stuffed in a box and put away in the rafters of our garage somewhere and totally forgotten about. And then all our PS1 games got sold. Except - thank fuck - for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, because those two games were some of the most important games in my life. Part of a collection of classic PS1 games that make up the first video games I ever REALLY played in my life. Technically Banjo Kazooie on N64 was the first video game I ever played but I was 2&3 years old when I did and didn’t really grasp what I was doing. It wasn’t until a couple years later when we got our PlayStation that my sister truly introduced me to games. Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Spyro the Dragon & Year of the Dragon, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 & 3, and Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles & the actual Episode I video game adaptation. These were the games that introduced me to video games fully and literally changed my life forever. And then 2002 hit and we got our PlayStation 2 and I became a full-on GAMER. The PS2 was where things REALLY took off. PS1 and those games were my introduction to gaming and my training ground. But PS2 was where my childhood lived. Because not long after getting it my sister kinda outgrew video games so it became the first console that was MINE! All MINE. And I was 8 years old when I got the thing, and it was my only games console until finally getting a PS3 in about 2010 at age 16. 8 to 16 years old, man. That’s some of the most formative childhood years. So needless to say my memories of that console and it’s lineup overshadowed the PS1 and it’s lineup, once our PS1 vanished and all but 2 games lost. However, since the PS2 mercifully could still play PS1 games, I was able to still enjoy THPS2 and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro. And while THPS2 got lost itself in around 2010 or 2012, I still have and enjoy the shit outta Enter Electro to this DAY, thanks to my PS3 and PS2 (though recently I fear my PS2 may have broken and I’m kinda freaking out about it cuz I’ve had it since 2005 when my parents got ME the new slim version for my 11th birthday cuz the original fatty PS2 that they got me and my sister for Christmas 2002 had busted and started EATING game discs. As in, pop in a disc and the console makes a bunch of scary noises and refuses to play the game, so you turn it off and when the console spits the disc out, you see that it’s been scratched up to about HELL and back).
    Anyway holy shit enough rambling. Sheesh. As you can tell, me seeing this footage of Year of the Dragon triggered an absolute nostalgia OVERDOSE and set me off on a WAY to bloated and rambling tangent. But still, it was good to reminisce while tapping out this nonsense nobody in their right mind would ever possibly read, and it was good to get this rambling nostalgia bomb out of my system.

      I think objectively, 2 is better because it's more focused while still having a lot of variety while 3 has a little too much going on but I like 3 more because our copy of 2 got scratched super quick and wouldn't load any levels past Colossus so I played 3 a lot more and I love it to death

    • @jaretco6423
      @jaretco6423 2 года назад +1

      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 ).

    • @JoakimOtamaa
      @JoakimOtamaa 2 года назад

      The first game is the most focused and stays as my favorite. I don't like any mini games or other playable characters in later games and those are the biggest part of the trilogy so 3 is easily the worst for me. Quality over quantity.

    • @TBKholyavenger
      @TBKholyavenger 5 лет назад +20

      I mean they are Spyro games, and he did say when he did a review on the 4th game that he'd review ALL the Spyro games. Seems he forgot a trio of 'em- ...Although it's clear he doesn't like the three.
      For some reason that is an extremely love it or hate it trilogy. Personally, I love the games- but that's because I'm always a sucker for a good story.

    • @TBKholyavenger
      @TBKholyavenger 5 лет назад +3

      ...That and the absolute final Sparx was voice acted by Wayne Brady. Just sayin'.

    • @shademillith
      @shademillith 5 лет назад +7

      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.

    • @TBKholyavenger
      @TBKholyavenger 5 лет назад +3

      I don't know man, I didn't mind the large waves of enemies... Mostly because there was almost always a cliff or a pit of lava that I could knock enemies into. That was during my "Sadistic 'knock everything off a cliff'" phase though.

    • @chinadollsyndrome
      @chinadollsyndrome 5 лет назад +4

      My biggest issue with the Legend of Spyro games was just how much they railroad you. 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.

We'll miss you." in the Atlas' epilogue?

    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.

    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.
