Sebulba2000 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I'm kind of surprised how common the plat is, considering the flying levels (as well as the flying trophies), the gears (I couldn't find these without a guide) and Tree Tops. Wow, I guess people really seem to love this game as much as I do, hence so many people got the plat ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jjmello23 Posted December 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2018 i might be in the minority here but i felt like the flying levels weren't that bad once you figure out where everything is. I saw alot of people complaining about it when the game released. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MidnightMoth Posted December 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2018 The flying levels weren't really that bad imo. I think there was a disproportionate amount of people complaining about them and in the end they likely completed it too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a person does the Spyro 2 flying levels first, it makes it easier to do Spyro 1, at least in my experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegeth Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I remember hating the flying levels as a kid. Maybe we all just got better in the past 20 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Game took me less than 6 hours to get the platinum lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milktastrophe Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I was expecting the rarity to be over 80% based on the title. Well, it's over 50%, so yeah, it's technically common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Difficulty is subjective, but I can probably say it's much easier than the Crash Bandicoot series. I was hoping the Spyro games would be a bit more challenging. The Time Trials were what kept me playing Crash and keeping me occupied for a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janire1911 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 The flying levels were my least favorite part of the game, at first they seemed impossible to me but once you got used to the controls they weren't that difficult. Looking at videos on YouTube on what is the best route to take also helped a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgins Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I liked the speedways in Spyro 1 more than the other two. 2's were fun too but 3's were just boring for me as for the platinum rarity, the game isn't really tough at all to plat. Just gotta explore and do all the stuff. Fun games though, enjoyed my time through them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanaCheese94 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I had trouble with the flying leves too in the beginning, but it's a case of doing it over and over again and finding the right pattern. It still was the least enjoyable part for me, but very doable in the end. Spyro two was pretty anyoing though, for multiple reasons, but mostly some of the orb challanges were really infuriating, and I did have some trouble with the supercharge sections in all games, but that's just because my reflexes aren't as good as they have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Layla Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I don't understand what the surprise for being a common platinum, since spyro is relatively easy compared to other similar games like crash bandicoot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokedude97 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Honestly all 3 of them were REALLY easy to platinum. I got the total completion for the trilogy in 27 hours (7 for Spyro 1, 10 for the other two) and nothing was a challenge except maybe one or two levels per game. For me, the flying levels are some of my favorite levels in each game (I wish there were a few more) and they're just a really nice break from collecting nonstop.

jeckert82 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Wow this makes me really want to buy this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwinesss Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I am playing Spyro 1 at the moment but to be honest I am finding it kind of boring, I hope 2 and 3 pick up a little more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinosaurus Rex Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) I think it's also because most owners of trilogy are veterans who knows these games from inside out. Several fastest achievers of platinums are people who doesn't excel at speedrunning games but are more casual players.

Ac3dUd3- Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Spyro Is just as popular now as back then, even more so. The kids who grew up playing it are now playing it and most likely giving their young kids a crack at it as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I am around half way through and have been thinking 'Is this all it is?' The story (if you could even call it that) is pretty pitiful too. I am really hoping they added more to the next two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vault-TecPhantom Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I'm actually really surprised considering that some of flight levels were annoying AF and I did most of them without a guide too. They're alright in theory but the controls and camera ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro_cow_tipper Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Got my ass handed to me in previously unimaginable ways by this game. I'm proud of you guys for being skilled enough to call that a 2/10, but your opinion is incorrect. This game is significantly more difficult than other 2/10 short platforming games such as Spongebob, R&C Rift Apart, Maneater, or even Miles Morales. This shit is on a whole different tier and it's seriously not close at all. The flying levels, final boss, and controls overall were like pulling teeth and any nostalgia that I did have has turned into malice. I wish I had a physical copy so I could feel this burden lift off my shoulders when I sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you're just bad at the game. ? Even when taking more difficult levels like Tree Tops into consideration, I wouldn't say that the platinum difficulty increases by that much. (They did mess up the controls for the flying levels, so I'll give you that much) Obviously it goes without saying that people who've played the original will likely have an easier time getting the platinum for this game than others. That said, Spyro - especially the first game - was never that hard compared to other, similar 3D platformers/collectathons. (i.e Banjo-Kazooie) Some of the mini-games in the later two titles - most notably in the third - can be pretty annoying, however, and in some cases more in Reignited than they were in the originals. (You don't need to reach the highest level of in-game completion to platinum the third game like you do with the other two, though, so there's that at least) Edited November 29, 2021 by Zephrese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMichigan Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I just suck at the Spyro games, I suppose. I'll probably never platinum any of them. Launch Date was one of the hardest trophies I've ever gotten. It might be the hardest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you know what you're doing while playing the level, completing it consistently without issue can be challenging nonetheless.

DaveMcDamage Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, I recently bought the trilogy as I know a few pals that loved this series on original release. Treated myself to the trilogy in the current sales. Anyway I looked at the plat time and it says its doable in 7 hours which is nice after a few grindy games. But there there's literally thousands of collectibles to get for the 100% completion. Also the guide says something about an in game map which is nice as I love playing a game where I spend more time on the console than checking vids on the PC. But the sheer amount of collectibles seems shocking. Something like you need 18K gems and yet when I saw vids on reviews and stuff they were picking them up one at a time. Am I missing something here? Edited February 23, 2022 by DaveMcDamage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
