You know, I have to wonder, I wonder if it was the shareholders that said "Don't put COD Ghosts onto the Wii U", with the timing of the U version of that game and this news
For my collecting plans, I will say that I plan on getting 3 core lives per element, a swap force character of each movement type and element, and just the one Giant that came with Giants. I feel that the Giant gimmick characters (like Tree Rex, Eye Brawl, and Ninjini) make the game unfair...for the game itself, as Tree Rex, even at level 5, can rip through high clusters of enemies with little effort. I only have him on standby for when I need to do a giant gimmick
@GamerZack7 I have Swap Force pre ordered on the Wii as I don't have a U yet. I just hope that Beenox doesn't muck it up (I'm hoping more of a PS2 Guitar Hero 3 rather than a PS2 Rock Band 1, as GH3 on PS2 had all of the features that the current gen versions had, while Rock Band PS2 lacked character creation entirely)
@OneOfSwords I'm gonna argue semantics and say it is much more of a Gauntlet Like than a light diablo. But yeah, I don't find Skylanders to be a scam (even if 100%ing all non level pack levels would run 40 bucks if you go for all series 1), I reserve that for the Mobile ecosystem (You have to pay money to complete all of the objectives for City 2020 and My Little Pony on Android, and both of those games sit you out if you have the GALL to play them too much at once. If you manage to get all of your Skylanders knocked out in a level you just need to restart it, only losing upwards from 5 minutes of progress. And once you beat a level, all knocked out Skylanders will become available for the next level and/or upgrades if they were carrying enough gold)
@Nibelilt I'd say that they're less of a scam as there is a most likely far more effective tool to stop the kid from getting a skylander, the parents. With many F2P mobile games, they seem much more predatory, especially with a default I've heard with the idevices that unlocks the account for more purchases for 15 minutes. I know that Android 4.3 will have restricted accounts so the parents can disable IAPs completely for that account, but it is up to the parent, much like it is up to the parent to say no to the kid who wants...say a Dark Light Crypt set (I'm not going to pay over 100 bucks for a level pack, which is why I'm hoping it gets a Series 3 release too)
@Katzii I looked it up and apparently at least the Giants LC versions of Series one figures will work, just with no explosive entry, so, I hope that Lightcore Warnado will work with both previous games, with the same caveat of no explosive entry (and probably flagged as Series 1 on Giants
