With this, I wrap up the first three games in the official Spyro canon by shooting an evil Sorceress with the Official Spyro Cannon. 117% percent complete, all skill points unlocked, and a slightly heartbreaking page in the back of the journal with all the cast waving goodbye and a "WE'LL MISS YOU" underneath. Insomniac clearly wanted out of this series with a desperation, they kept shoving in out-of-genre moments EVERYWHERE.
Happily, part of the reason I play this kind of platformer is for the out of genre weirdness of suddenly doing a UFO rail shooter or some crazy thing like that. So I'm down with it.
So... That's the entire trilogy Perfect Dragon'd. I realize I'm on the honor system for this, but if proof is desired I can always get screenshots via Twitch I guess? I wouldn't want to lie about it for a couple of reasons, one being how ridiculously hard some of the skill points are -- if I were going to lie, I wouldn't have DONE THEM. I would just SAY I beat the stupid auto-blocking boxing bear in two rounds, instead of actually DOING IT and stomping around the room in grr-rar fury when he blocked my last hit before the round was over.
The second reason is that yep, I paid for Actual Artwork for the first time in my 18 years of furry fandom. I had a brief crisis of self over commissioning a real artist to do art for my doofy-ass playthrough of three children's platformers, but since I'm A: Paying someone I really like money and B: Going to get a picture of a perfect dragoness out of it, I am pretty much over the crisis. That art will be posted here when it's done.
What of Perfect Dragon? Is this her retirement, is this where she falls into hibernation deep beneath the earth? Will she someday rise from the ocean to do battle once more?
I really don't feel any heavy completionist desires. I don't want to streak back through my library 100%'ing every game I've beaten to date. I still firmly subscribe to the state of mind that says "If it isn't fun to do, don't bother doing it."
Yet I can't help but feel we haven't seen the last of shimmery pink scales...
