Why does everyone shit on Enter the Dragonfly?

Put the bugs aside, is there a real reason everyone hated this game?

Also Spyro thread

>putting the one reason the game is bad aside...
It's not just a little buggy, it's practically unplayable

This is one of a handful of games I traded in and I took it back the next day because it was just not very good. I completed it in a day, it wasn't particularly fun, I think I just glitched into the last boss fight because I'm certain I didn't unlock one of the worlds.
Just generally bad.

Wikipedia cites 3/10 reviews from major publications due to issues with framerate, controls, collision detection, sound inconsistencies, graphical glitches, etc.

FOUR DAYS LEFT HNNNNNG

Even if it weren’t so glitchy, it’s still a really half baked game.

This game taught me that just because it has the name of one of my favorite things doesn't guarantee it's good.

Remember those cupid lizards in the "Heaven" level?
Headbutting them and hearing their noisy tumble was SO INSANELY SATISFYING

It was one of the first Soulless games to be created, which is tragically ironic because Ripto's Rage is the most soulful game I have ever played. It defined the word "cash grab"

Coming after a trilogy of consistently fantastic games, it was a pretty big letdown. It had a fuck load of bugs, slowdown, long load times, etc. It was incredibly short, and stuff that was promised early on was cut, like the storyline involving Gnasty and Ripto teaming up. It should be known that all of that was caused by Universal cutting the devs' time and money in half in order to rush it out by Christmas, and not because the devs were incompetent. The GC port actually cleaned a lot of that up and managed to make it an inoffensive 6/10 game, a Spyro title that was merely half-baked and way shorter than it should be. Some of the level themes were cool, the multiple breath types were neat (except for the useless bubble breath) and the soundtrack was on par with the PS1 games.

I'm one of those people who don't think Reignited was somehow a complete disservice to the franchise, and I wouldn't mind seeing ETD get remastered as a $20 expansion pack or something. The short length and halfassed story would be justified, and they could fix the remaining wonkiness.

It's short. It has plenty of good ideas that would have been fun in a longer game but it was rushed in multiple ways so even if the bugs don't bother you the fact you can finish it really quickly will.

It would make a great Reignited DLC pack.

The game is practically unfinished.

But the content that does exist is of very poor quality, that basically reminds me of a imitation of what a 4th Spyro game might look like - not actually focusing on making a good game first. It reeks of a studio that barely knows the franchise or why video games are even popular just using it for a paycheck.

Compare this with Crash Wrath of Cortex, which also failed and was an overall bad game with a too small budget, and too novice devs, but still felt like they were trying.

IT'S A BROKEN AND LAGGY INHUMANE PILE OF SHIT. Go back to it and you will want to stop playing in 5 minutes tops.

Definitely not a buggy game, nothing to see here. youtu.be/eKnm8a52RsM

I legit remember finishing this game and going
>Okay that was surprising level boss, wonder what world is next
>Hey why is the game ending?

Same. He just kinda showed up there and I hadn't even got all the breath powers.

Yeah the game being so short was a huge surprise considering how it the previous gamrs had double or triple the amount of levels. Not like the levels in EtD were even more content filled.
It was a huge shame too because in my opinion, some of the levels were kind of fun and at least memorable. The different breathe elements was an ok gimmick too.
It just was a huge let down in many ways. It felt like the game was on a completely different world, everything wad spread out with clusters of activity and then large areas of nothingness. It felt weird.
Also levels form the previous trilogy were kind of regurgitated in EtD.

>put the bugs aside
so basically,
>tell me why this game is bad without telling me the biggest goddamned problem of it
why do people post this shit? it's a goddamned buggy mess that makes daggerfall look relatively clean.

I like how the eye textures on sparx are bugging the fuck out during the credits.

>I think I just glitched into the last boss fight because I'm certain I didn't unlock one of the worlds
You did
