Hearing Jak roast the shit out of the 'Skylanders killed Spyro' crowd made me really happy. I honesty never understood why it got as much hate as it did. Congrats on 10k.
That's good, thanks mate :D
Will you review the last 3 games
@@robbycooper6787 Yeah, I'm curious about what he thinks about the last 3.
@@SquareEyedJak will you cover the other games like imagianators and trap team also how do you think a darker reboot that doesnt use the toys to life model would go over if it happened
@@SquareEyedJak will you review the last three when you reach 30k???
Honestly im happy someone is defending this seires
I'm glad you didn't shit on this game like most people do I love this series especially the new one nice review man
Agreed
Spyro does look a bit like a pug with wings and scales, but I don't see that as inherently negative. In fact, I thinks it's kind of cute.
You should go see a doctor
Yeah, and the guy in the review, Caddicarus, said he wasn’t really interested and most of the things he says is normally a joke anyways.
@@ryanh.6294 Why are you replying to a year old comment?
@@AmyTheSilly Cuz I wanted to 🤨?
Just looks a childish design of a dragon like jak said I don’t see it either.
No, this is officially a spinoff! It said somewhere on a website that one time!
Ok, good for you
DoriyahDude What?! 🤷♂️
Yeah, I read that the Skylanders was intended for a spin-off after the final game of the legend of Spyro on the web and prefer Spyro as a playable character than an NPC from the start of Skylanders!!!
I like to think of Skylanders as a reboot of the Spyro franchise
In the Wii version, the final level removes the waiting and just adds normal pathways to get to the keys. It’s not just that, some of the assets are less polished and makes things not look too shiny as shit. Even some parts of levels make things easier. Personally that’s my definitive version of the game
Other versions aren't really by Toys for Bob.
I disagree with that the Wii version as a lot stripped out of it.
@@copyer9088The wii version is literally the original version. The HD versions are copies of the wii
@@bqckslash but they have more content?
@@copyer9088 What content does HD ssa have that wii ssa does not
I agree I've been a fan skyalnders games and im a 18 year nerd and agree with about 97%of the things you said
What was the 3% you disagreed with?
Square Eyed Jak the whole calie being there just for side content agree with that but what she dose is gives you a boost lest say spyro is slow like slower then 2 snails getting it on with it there is a challenge where you get speed there a chance to get a speed upgraded if spyro speed was idk 20 and he dose all of the speed challenges he can get a +20 boost keep in mind i think they got rid of that in swap-force onwards but still but but a lot of stuff i agree with you on and do recommend playing threw the 3DS games also there not the same as the main console counterparts there standalone and pretty damn cheap i seem the SSA 3DS starter pack go for around 20-25$ CND
Reading this comment me have an aneurysm.
I'm a Skylander fan too and I want to collect them
@@mrtentaclepussiewussie1264 holy that's alot of words
I was quite saddened that so many people hated this game before it came out and didn't even give it a chance. I admit that I was a bit shocked when the game was announced at the new direction, but I still eagerly pre ordered and went into it with an open mind- and I loved every minute of it. It's not perfect by a long shot, but there are so many references to the original series and it was so fun to play. If people play the game and don't like it, that's absolutely fine- it's not for everyone and I respect that. But it's the people that hate the game without even playing it that I don't understand.
I totally agree, the day when the game was announced there was already an Activision hate group made, just because of spyro's design. I really don't understand these people
I still don't like his design in my opinion. eventhough skylanders did introduce me to the spyro franchise
When I was younger I loved this series. I would spend hours playing the levels over and over again. The two-player mode was also fun cause it ment that I could play with my friends. I remember always getting excited when I got a new character. I will always look back on the early games with fond memories. It's nice to see someone give it some praise.
Preach fellow Skylanders fan
I really agree! I loved the Skylanders series and is one of my favorite series in gaming. It really doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
all of the skylanders haters should watch this to see what skylanders is about
Here's a fun fact. Kaos is voiced by the same voice actor that voiced Billy from Grim Advenrtures of Billy and Mandy, and also Zim himself some Invader Zim.
“Hey, did I just see a dragon, riding a dragon?” Lol
Yes. Yes you did lol
@@henrym4484 lol
i was born i 2001 and skylanders introduced me to spyro... i still remember the first time i saw the commercial as a 10 year old kid. and the day i bought the game with my own money and played it for the first time.. so damn good!
Funny enough, one of the best and most fun experiences I had in game shopping was Skylanders. I'm by no means EVER going to try and have them all, but when I finally broke down and checked this series out, I ended up getting the first two games, on both XBox and 3DS, all of the dragon figures, which got me one of each element, a giant, and the 5 level packs. Yeah it cost a little bit, but not NEARLY what I expected, as I got all of it used, and I ended up getting 4 REALLY good games, as the 3DS games are ENTIRELY different from the console games, and feel even more like a classic Spyro game, even down to actually jumping and gliding. I've since dabbled in the other games when I find them cheap, and oddly find the 3DS games to still be the best, as they save your skylander to the game instead of having to carry all of them around (First 2 games only store 2 at a time and a powerup, all of them after store EVERYTHING)
Thanks for everything guys! Live streams will be starting this weekend, we'll be checking out Sheep Raider (Sheep, Dog 'N Wolf for PAL). The times and dates for that are:
Australia: 9am, Sunday 5th Feb
American EST: 5pm Saturday 4th
United Kingdom: 10pm Saturday 4th
Ratchet and Clank...just do it
this was the only game in the series I liked
Square Eyed Jak Awesome Vid cant wait 4 more content. Cheers
+Square Eyed Jak wait where's Rayman legends and Rayman origins review
Square Eyed Jak can you give us the europe time
In the Wii version there isn’t a floating platform in the kaos level
Phenomenal video. 7/10.
The Greatest Comment Ever Made.
5/10 wold carl agin
Wow... someone did a remix of your theme? Which was originally just some random royalty free music? Damn... that's some dedication right there.
Congrats on the 10k Jak! Been here for a little while now and Ive always enjoyed every time I watch a video of yours. To you Jak!
jak congrats on ten thousand here to 100 thousand more . Another great video you are becoming one of my fav youtubers
congrats on 10k I gotta admit you got the alguthrim stuff right nice work!!
This was a good review! I honestly am with you in this opinion, I can't seem to find reason of people hating Skylanders so much since they kept Spyro relevant throughout the years and now hopefully they do the same for Crash Bandicoot. In Skylanders tv-series in Netflix they've got Spyro's attitude spot on too, he is almost like the douche we knew from the first trilogy. Later games he has also became more relevant too, having more character than, for example, Mario has.
Yeah, people just like to cry about things a little too much imo
Thanks :)
There's three big reasons, Spyro's design, the fact he isn't the main character, and the toys to life system. If you were a child who had never played a Spyro game, and not old enough to purchase your own games, then sure of course you wouldn't find any reason to hate it. You didn't grow up with the original design, Spyro meant nothing to you, and you didn't have to buy Skylanders or any of the toys cause others most likely bought them for you. These were the reasons I didn't want to play these games, and are still the reason I haven't played them. I'm glad these games exist, but only because if it weren't for them we wouldn't have the Reignited Trilogy.
funnieapple Big deal, they changed Spyros design. Sound the alarms
@@FunnieApple They game was market specifically for kids anyway. Not all ages like old mascot platformer.
So really you're hating on something for not doing something it that it wasn't even trying to do in the first place and thats to cater to adults and resemble the old spyro games. Slylanders isn't a spyro game is a game with spyro in it
@@dreamcastdazia4753 that's exactly what I said, and I don't hate them I said I'm glad they exist because it renewed interest in remaking Spyro. I know these games were made for kids, that doesn't mean they had to be so sleezy with the pay to play toy system or completely sideline a popular iconic character. The Reignited Trilogy, the N. Same Trilogy and CTR have proven that those games are STILL popular and not just with the people who remember them from back in the day. They even made a Crash 4 now and most likely will make a new Spyro.
The redesign and sidelining of Spyro in this game is the reason I've never played it and have no real interest in ever doing so. Never said it was a Spyro game and that it needed to cater to me. Fine if you liked it but it's not my cup of tea.
I have a theory that skylanders happens after dawn of the dragon. when spyro and cynder sacrifice themselves to rebuild the world, it becomes skylands. And spyro and cynder are reborn as different dragons with no recollection of past events in the spyro games.
Is that a JoJo reference? (If you've read the end of Part 6, you'll know what I mean)
@@AceTrainerX3 are u implying that spyro is johnny joestar?
@@gigaswardblade7261 Nah, if anything he's Jolyne
I agree with your review. The Skylanders games aren't bad, especially not the first one, but... people always criticize it for being bad, and being someone who experimented with the various skylanders, it actually forced me to learn how to adapt to different play styles, which is something I use even to this day. And whenever I see people complaining about Skylanders, I defend it, being someone who enjoyed... _most of the Skylanders games..._
This is pretty much the first in a long time that I've watched a video of someone reviewing about Skylanders and the review ending in a nice and tame note. 😊👍🏼
Great vid always. I'm actually excited to watch the rest of the reviews for the series.
Congrats on the 10k subs dude!
YEAH SKYLANDERS
Im almost fucking 20 Years old and I still love this series Lol.
Has a nice classic feel to it.
I consider these Spyro Games.
Catty Mintgum They aren't Spyro games though
Brad S Skylanders might be canon to The Legend of Spyro due to Malefor appearing in a Skylanders book, but not canon to Classic Spyro. I dare you to have a VALID counter argument.
I personally see them as their own thing.
Romario Desrosier True enough.
Dead Garden Gnome That...... actually makes more sense........
This video is super cool man I love you defending this game with real criticisms, this game means a lot to me, your cool.
One time when kaos was talking then his dialog stopped but his speech animation was still going. So we made the joke that his mic was muted
SSA was originally developed for the Wii so every other version is a port made by Expex. There are many differences between the two such as the Wii version having faster enemies that hit harder and the Expex versions having an infinite money glitch.
Love your positive and honest reviews, Jak!!! You always critique the actual important elements and not the petty shit! Good job❤️
Cheers, I couldn't resist a chance to obliterate some fanboys ;)
Square Eyed Jak Your slamming towards the lack of playable characters’ ability to jump independently/over-reliance on jump pads and other limited movements was also very well-deserved!
Thanks dude! Finally someone that likes the game of my childhood! :)
congratulations on 10,000!!!
Thank you!
It's nice to see another Spyro fan enjoy this game for what it is and not be like everyone else hating the game just because of Spyro design. I like Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, it is a fun game and the whole "toys comes to life" idea was pretty innovated. Also it's thanks to Skylanders that Spyro is still relevant. It just grinds my gears that a majority of Spyro fans hate the game just on Spyro design alone saying "it killed Spyro". I swear some people just need to grow up.
Also there is only one Spyro game that I just hate and it's Enter the Dragonfly and some fans say it better than Sylanders at least Skylanders is fun and not a complete buggy and glitchy mess, unlike Enter the Dragonfly, which is just also a rehash of Year of the Dragon
I know this is going to sound stupid but this review has just earned you another subscriber.
I'm not entirely sure about the glitches of Spyro Enter the Dragonfly. Granted, I have only played a teensy bit of the game but I haven't noticed any glitches yet. I feel like with how far we've come in time with the internet, people were able to upload and share these glitches, sharing how to pull them off. I feel like the average player wouldn't be aware of the glitches right off the bat.
Though again, this is a biased opinion because I haven't played through the game in full yet.
I like all spyro games this one is the first game is played
DashieSparkle Well, he just reviewed the first game. We have yet to see how he'll react to the other games.
Oh trust me I understand what you are saying and I loved skylanders back then because it had spyro in it (this was back then before I knew skylanders ruined spyro) the first one was good and second but onto the four and up above just got plain and boring.
i love skylanders dude!
So glad i stumbled across this channel, been here for a while, and really glad to see you at 10k mate.
Thanks dude, glad you stuck around :)
Of course i would, local love lol, besides that your content is actually entertaining :P
This was fucking great! Consistently funny and well argued!
Congrats on reaching the big 10,000 Jak! You deserve way more.
Thanks dude :)
Square Eyed Jak No problem!
Congrats on 10k great video 👍
Astonishing congratulations for 10K Jak,and one more thing you said live in Australia starts 9am but in Saudi Arabia it starts at 2am (and your welcome)
Thanks. And sorry about that, really isn't much I can do about time zones so that's why I upload the full streams later on :)
I come back to this video now and then kinda brings fond memories
Well done on getting to 10K Jak! You're doing good!
Also give me those Crash and Cortex figurines.
Cheers mate and no, go away with that ;)
You know what...
This video has changed my perspective and opinion on slylanders and spyro completely now that this video has shown me that I shouldn't just hate skylander for changing spyro but love how similar they make it to the original spyro games. tbh skylander has been a childhood game for me back then but after realising that when they made skylander they taken their right from the creators but only because they couldn't make any more game.
Well done square eyed jack you have truly helped me see the brighter side and got rid of my grudge for this game.
Also if you read through all of that... You are an amazing and my favourite person. 😁😄🤗
Congrats on 10,000 already wrote a paragraph on Facebook so I'll just say happy 10,000 on here haha great review too mate
47 Haedox's disliked this
I'm pretty sure Haedox would respect Jak's opinion.
i'm on a spyro game marathon+review binge right now, and while i do really like your reviews, i still don't understand why you think tlos and skylanders fit in the same continuity as the classic games.
it's really cool that you gave your honest opinion on this game though! i greatly appreciate your honesty :D
theres a selfie feature in the latest one x) *awaits rage*
I really hate the humor in Imaginators.
No, this is officially a spinoff, it said somewhere on a website that one time
/r woooooosshhh
Oliver Wilkinson lol
OctoYoshi 9:39
Congrats on 10K
Congrats on 10K!
Still got a ton of them in my closet
Nice......you selling them by any chance?
Nice review!!
14:28 The WII version fixes that by making you go through long hallways. just saying.
Congratz on 10k! I didn't play skylanders,it looks ok on the technical level,but I think most of the hate goes towards the business model,and Spyro mainly used as a lure-in,not as a "main star".(for example the point where you are encouraged to play something else to be effective)
Congratulations on your milestone! Can't wait to see what your channel brings in the future! Cheers!
Congrats on the subs dude and I couldn't agree more with what you said really don't understand why this game gets so much hate lol.
I’m glad someone made an actual review about this game discussing it’s good sides and bad sides instead of saying it’s just terrible like Haedox did
Haedox is a crybaby. He's literally complaining about a game for kids. The spyro OT is not any better than skylanders he's just too blind to see that.
What’s even more hilarious about haedoxs rant is that he said he never even played the games games which tells me that he doesn’t have a say about the game being bad or not
congrats on 10k
as always u deserve more
Cheers mate :)
Yes
Great 10K subs special congratulations man. I admire you, you deserve a statue in Sydney.
Fuck Sydney, carve my face into Uluru ;)
lmao :D
I'm actually so proud of myself that I know what uluru is XD keyblade see you on the Saturday stream?
You know it buddy!
I enjoy replaying the levels to fully upgrade my Skylanders and finding secret treasure
Seeing something other than the Wii version (it's a bit different, the final boss is harder and there are none of the level loading death platforms lol) is a bit odd to me, but eh, what does it matter lol. I've been holding off till you got through it to watch these and I agree with like, all of this video. Watching you tear into the blind haters of the series was fun lol. Keep up the good work.
I never knew that the Wii version was better because that was the only version I played. Are there any other differences?
@@Tribunal_Igloo Not to my knowledge no, but there could be some
I will rewatch this series so many goddamn times since it’s the best series about Skylanders to come out recently
Haha I was just sat watching your videos on my TV and got super excited when this popped up :') I really liked this review, I haven't played Skylanders myself but it is refreshing to see an unbiased opinion on it because of it *ahem* ruining Spyro. I actually had a feeling this would be your 10k subs video since I could tell from the teaser that it was a 360 game. Anyway yes, again, congrats on 10,000! Here's hoping it won't be too long before we're watching a video celebrating 50,000 :D
How do I look on the big screen? ;) Cheers, 50K will be a big one for sure!
You deserve a subscriber which is why I subscribed
I agree with everything you said, except for the final boss battle, I love the music and I find the Hydra to be a really challenging and intimidating foe (which compensates for Kaos tbh).
Congrats dude. :D
I don't care what anyone says. They fucking need to remaster the three first Spyro games.
GunvorPlays agreed
GunvorPlays spyro trilogy
I've never played the original spyro games and I wanna change that but I don't wanna buy a ps1
You can buy the 3 original Spyro games on PlayStation 3 in the online store for $6 CAD. I think you have to download a memory card app but it's free and very easy. That's how I Re played them recently.
The remake will enhance the graphics to a new level... but I don't know if the step up in graphic quality will be enough, the legacy that Spyro led toward Skylanders has been a rocky one at that. The trilogy was perfect, I still go back to them, I ignore the fact EtD ever existed, played Hero's Tail and it was decent, but wasn't consuming enough for me to finish and I didn't buy anything past that. Would a remake of the trilogy sell well in Spyro's case? I hope so, but I honestly don't know. I'd buy the first three first on PSN (PS3 PSN, because Sony are a bunch of twats who want to push PlayStation Now, yeah guess what Sony, my internet connection is too weak to stream so fuck you) and play through them from 1-3 then decide whether you want to shell a similar price for the remakes. Or alternatively look online and buy the three games and a functional PS1, the console is cheaper than the games ironically from the last time I looked anyway. Crash needed to come back for the current generation because it laid dormant for 9 years with nothing. I bought the N Sane trilogy and I loved it, (to give you some context, I do own the original trilogy too).
Why was this video not in my notifications? Anyway, I loved playing this game. It kind of reminds me of Pokemon a bit. Switching your Skylanders felt natural. I agree with you here. The people that didn't like this game just because they changed Spyro's look, is a stupid reason why to not like this game. Looking back at this game now, I sure miss this game. I ended up selling this game because of my stupid mind back then. Awesome review Jak!
Hit the bell, turn on email and push notifications ;)
A plus side : Kaos is apparently voiced by invader zim himself (& pretty much a bunch of other memorable characters): Richard S. Horvitz :P
My first experience with Skylanders was when I saw my cousin playing it during Christmas time the year Skylanders Spyro's Adventure came out then I saw three characters Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy and of course Spyro I was shocked at first but when I got to have a go at it I really enjoyed it a year later my mum bought me the game and the starter pack plus I had also bought some Skylanders as well using the money I got and eventually I beat it and bought the remaining characters I didn't have
As for Spyro's design I thought they where trying to fix him back to when he was popular by changing him from a more older looking dragon to a young dragon
The game had a lot of stuff I enjoyed, the characters, levels, gameplay and the music which was composed by one of my favourite music composers Hans Zimmer who also composed the music to my favourite Disney movie The Lion King
Spyro the Dragon always had great luck in the music department and the Skylanders series was no exception
I did a year later play Skylanders Giants and still enjoy it to this day for all reasons I mentioned before and the new characters introduced where cool too
But then I started to realise the series was costing me a lot of money and had to stop when Skylanders Swap Force came out which was a shame for me as I had enjoyed the games but I was getting into new franchises such as Assassins Creed, Bayonetta, Silent Hill and Resident Evil to name a few. (Oh and when I meant new I meant new to me)
I do think there should be a point where they should try and remake the original trilogy and even maybe a new game at some point but for now I think he should stay with Skylanders until Activision thinks of something else to do with him plus I am grateful they did a better crossover between Spyro and Crash than fusion did
Finally I'm grateful Crash is coming back as I still think he is a well recognised character and lots of people do remember him
I think Activision rerelease the series as a single collection game but remove the toys to life model because it’s extremely predatory and just have you unlock characters by playing the game and being able to use them in other games and save files when you unlock them.
Thanks for always putting in the time to make such great reviews. I could only imagine how much you will improve as time goes on. Cheers to 10k!
Not going to make a song and dance about this but we all knew you would reach the 10,000 subscriber count anyways!!!
;)
This is my favourite review that you've done so far, glad to see you defend it fairly but also shit on the game where it's rightfully deserved. I both hate & love Skylanders, I've spent a fuck ton of money on it over the years but it's also simple fun, kept Spyro around in games & hey, I only got the new one because I wanted to play as Crash. Great review mate, keep up the good shit!
Cheers mate. It's always fun destroying fanboys xD
Always supported you since I found you dude, love your un-biased opinions as always. You carry on dude! Hopefully I'll catch your next stream! & you inspire me to do better reviews! :D
Skylanders was a fun series and I played it back when I was younger. It doesn't deserve so much hate.
When I started playing skylanders I didn’t know Spyro Games Existed and when I learned that they were so bad other than the first one compared to skylanders that I thought it was a
Spinoff of skylanders
congrats on 10,000 i'm struggling with getting past 10
Keep up the good work.
This guy deserve way more subscribers
Congratulations on reaching 10k subs, you've earned it! I remember you having barely 5k when I first stumbled upon your channel, and ever since I've returned to your videos from time to time to have myself a good laugh.
This video tho... It makes me wanna grab a Skylanders game. I've never even tried one and had kind of same feeling of resentment towards it because of internet.
Thanks, I'd suggest try it. Get a few figures and see if you like it :)
Hi Jak! Do you plan on reviewing the other Skylanders games? Also congrats on the 10k man!
I'm glad you like the games and don't mind Spyro's redesign... personally, I think he looks kind of odd but I can understand that kids like the way he looks, all I care about is how fun the game is and if it has a decent story...
I thought I'd be alone on this, literally everyone hates Skylanders for either killing Spyro or being locked behind the "Toys to Life paywall" (We don't have money like you Activision), but it turns out I know a few people who like it for what it is... good going!
I'm a gen z Spyro fan and Skylanders was my introduction to the series as well as one of the first games I ever played. This video was extremely vindicating, I'm glad Skylanders has seen more of a cult following in recent years but I never expected to see an actual genuine Spyro fan go into it with an open mind and see it for the pretty decent game it is. This video made my day :)
i like the spyro 3 boss music in your vid :)
What's your favorite Spyro game mine is Spyro 2 Ripto's "Rampage" lol hah memories.
Congrats with 10K subs keep it up
Haha cheers mate ;)
u should do other game series and congrats on 10k
Finally a spyro fan plays the game and sees that its not that bad
Yeah, and he's not the only one; which makes me happy.

Just wanted to say congrats on 10K again

Same, I can't remember any others after series 2 lol
GZ on 10k ya crazy Aussie!
congrats on hitting 10k Jak! are you planning on doing any Atari game reviews?
I have wanted to for a really long time, the problem is that those games have roughly 5 minutes worth of gameplay so there really isn't a whole lot to say :P
ok bro! :P
so worth the wait loved it!
Congrats
