And now a brief history and post-mortem of the Toys to Life Genre after lego Dimensions was discontinued

[@southstar448]

So basically toys to life got ruined because companies went ea on people

[@randomseer8806]

amiibo aren't needed to play games they are only used to extend the game or get special items or just collect them

[@DaWawaWeWa]

*cough* *cough* Amiibo festival *cough* but really, that's the only game that requires an amiibo.

[@randomseer8806]

Who would bother to buy that game anyway

[@DaWawaWeWa]

I guess amiibo collectors.

[@SliceJosiah]

No, they died because Nintendo and their Amiibos 360 degree headshotted them.

[@skepticalscientist4203]

Toys to life was literally the physical manifestation of microtransactions

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

Mr Kat Just because it works for multiple games doesn't mean it isn't a microtransaction. You still have to pay extra to use a feature or unlock a costume that's already coded in a full priced AAA game.

[@scottdparrott]

[@secretlysarcastic253]

Jako yeah a remaster of the first or second game on ps4(maybe 5?),xbox one, pc, nintendo switch, that would be cool. It’d also be cool with like a smash bros like combat system where you can use all skylanders from every game.

[@Umbra_Ursus]

You damn well know they'd shove something lootbox-related in there to fuck it up. If you love Skylanders, just let it's corpse rot in peace: I'd rather it not become like that Crash game.

[@eyeccantseeyouu]

Die guy die altijd LOL zegt that would make skylanders be called a game similar to smash bros with a smash bros like combat system but dont mind me I lack the iq of skylanders so ima see myself out

[@alisande_]

It's so weird to see Skylanders being described like one of those old nostalgic games. I was super into this series in middle school and feels like just yesterday I was planning tournaments with my friends and arguing about which characters should be off-limits due to their OP moveset. (Drobot and Double Trouble...) I'm pretty sure I got close to a 100% clear file on the first game, just because I played it so much and explored every nook and cranny of the levels. Also my brother and I collectively had 90% of the characters from the first series. Wasn't able to get the rest because they were never in stock and buying online seemed like way too much trouble for a 10 year old. I don't even want to think about how much money that was, since those things sold for $10-$15 per figure in the hayday. The second game was my favorite due to the PVP mode, but since I was distracted by that I kinda neglected the levels beyond the main story. I remember getting the 3rd game but never ended up finishing it because around that time I lost interest in gaming for a while. My sisters were playing one of the games a few weeks ago, and I went down and joined them. It was really nice returning to these characters again, and it's sad to see that the entire genre is essentially dead. Also, being a part of the Original Skylanders Generation meant that it was legally required to hate all of the other toys to life franchises that popped up after the first game's success. I remember bashing on Infinity (And amiibo, initially) because to me they were just greedy skylanders ripoffs. Then the 3rd game came out and I realized Skylanders itself had always been a giant cash grab. Not sure how I would have felt about the lego TTL game, since that was announced long after I had moved on from skylanders. It could have gone either way, since I was also obsessed with legos as a kid.

[@dvoremay6683]

alisande they are making a new skylanders

[@Openreality]

The Lego game was awesome, unfortunately my PS3 crapped out on me so I'm having to sell my unopened collection for space and cash. Imaginators is when I picked it up again and its the best one because you hey to create your own character. I doubt thai skylanders will come back, unless Starlink does well, than Skylanders will create competition. Hopefully they balance the class systems and lists better.

[@Openreality]

Man, Skylanders vas really my childhood. I remember when I Always wantet to go to my friend to play spyro adventure. I problably replayed that game 10 times. But Giants was 10x better than the first. That was my first own skylanders game. I grinded like 5 hours a day. When swap force came out I bought it immediately . But when I played it i hated it. I iterally played it for 2 hours because it was so bad. When trap team came i bought it and loved it. I loved that you could capture your favourite villans. Then i stopped playing the games. That was maybe good because if I played them i would got an bad memory. Thanks Skylanders for makeing my childhood the best!

[@erikholmysti]

You should have ended with at least declaring Nintendo and Amiibo the survivors. While amiibo have certainly had they cash grabby moments, over all I've been very happy with its "lighter touch" approach. Not requiring use (usually), but being a bonus. And expanded use throughout soooo many games has made they prized collectibles I still break out to use to this day! Amiibo just hit that sweet spot!

[@ryancarson6962]

erikholmysti Amiibo isn’t really a contender to the “toy to life” gimmick, they’re more extra toys and collectibles for the hardcore fans, it doesn’t work like Skylanders, Disney Infinity and even LEGO Dimensions it isn’t really apart of the “toy to life” games.

[@JC-hi8fk]

Ryan Carson I would say the smash series ones qualify for toys to life.

[@firered23ful]

Because theyre can be used with any game compatible

[@k-4452]

Yougurtsupremegogo Jist because Nintendo is the best lol

[@litsaber]

I'd chalk it up mostly to the fact that they're optional for basically all the content in the game, making buying them not feel like a huge cop out like Skylanders, etc. etc., where you had to have a figure to play any of the game, and also many obvious parts of the game being locked behind needing more toys. Even Smash, the one with the most locked behind the amiibo paywall, just has new content to the game behind said amiibos, still giving you a full game without them.

[@Golemoid]

Because they are figures of popular nintendo characters. Skylanders are glorified pokemon/digimon clones, and gamers don't really care about disnep characters.

[@ilikedogz587]

Its ironic that it is the one to of survived considering how little compatibility they really had with games

[@faded624]

In my opinion, swap force was more of a money-spending game then trap team. And with the traps, all you really had to do was get 1 trap of every element

[@twink-182]

R.I.P Skylanders 2011-2016 Greatly appreciated by both kids and adults (I used to play it with my dad) Many people may also dislike it, but that’s okay. There’s always going to be someone who hates something. It was great while it lasted

[@ardent3873]

I enjoyed skylanders as a kid for two reasons. I was oblivious to the way they were using Spyro to pose it as a new Spyro game. And I jumped out of the series after playing Swap Force. I saw the writing on the wall I guess.

Anyone remember that skylanders online game? When you bought one of the older, original figures, you got a little black card with a code on it. If you entered that code on the site you would be put in a animal-jam like online game where you could use that figure as an avatar and chat with others, who were often different skylanders. I loved that game- a shame they shut it down.

I dropped out of the Series after SF. I only had a Wii and they were starting to drop support for the console in favor of the Wii U. At that point, when I got SF, I knew it wasn't as good as the first two, and after SA and Giants, it was getting expensive. After that, I only watched playthroughs until the last game, which I almost completely ignored, save for videos like, "how to make this pokemon in-game." However, I did watch the Netflix cartoon as a guilty pleasure with my sister, who had taken a liking to the series while watching me play. It wasnt half-bad tbh, but it was a shame it practically died out before they could finish the show's storyline. Either way, seeing this video gave me a wave of nostalgia

[@monsterzun2453]

I loved skylanders and still kinda do. Too me that was the main game I played on my Wii other than Mario cart. It’s like huge nostalgia to me.

[@PRDGL_WindyBW]

In Superchargers Defense, all you needed was two more relatively cheap vehicles to experience the game to it's fullest, and the races were entertaining. I feel like way too many people unnecessarily shit on Superchargers way too often.

[@GiratinaofFury]

Disney Infinity was okay, but it lacked one feature the other two major Toys to Life franchises had - the ability to use any character anywhere. Each toy was restricted to a contextual universe, so it really wasn't as Infinite as it suggested. And Lego Dimensions was actually pretty good; granted it was more expensive, but there was an option where, if you lacked a certain character, you could use in game currencies to bypass their challenges. Not a bad idea if you think about it. It just didn't have much going for it outside the standard story mode.

I'll still playing Skylanders with my little '''collection"

[@TheRoboSensei]

As someone who now has a full collection of Lego Dimensions, I'm fairly disappointed that they burnt out after only 2 years. The way they implemented an "ever expanding game" rather than a Lego Dimensions 2 the following year was a very good move for the franchise. Being able to buy only one starter pack that would fuel and expand you game for the years to come was something that Disney Infinity and Skylanders never learned. Being run by Warner Bros. showed how easily they were able to acquire and show off their franchises that were featured. Unfortunately it seemed that Lego Dimensions' sales dropped down about halfway into Year 1, leading into a very low sales run through the entirety of Year 2. I really thought that Dimensions was a great game and that the packs were all well worth their values. With Lego being some of the most collectible toys ever, and with Dimensions featuring several exclusive Lego minifigures and pieces, you would imagine it would perform very well on paper. Overall, I believe that out of all the Toys to Life games, Dimensions certainly gave you the most content with every pack, including the Starter Pack. Spanning 17 levels and 3 open world areas with several collectibles you can earn with only the contents of the starter pack, you got well-worth what you spent on it and then some to spare. Every character you bought that was from a franchise you didn't already own a character from gives you another of these open world areas along with all the abilities that they come with, some of which are unique to specific characters and others that multiple characters learned as well, leaving it up to you to decide which abilities and levels you wanted to unlock. To 100% the game, earning all collectibles across all levels and adventure worlds, there is a specific set of packs you can buy that about equals under half of what is available, making it very accessible to get into at the current stage, where most packs are severely cheaper than they were at release. I definitely am going to miss the game, but am also glad I can start spending my money elsewhere. Goodbye, Lego Dimensions. You had a very good run.

I tried all 3 of these games and lego dimension is the one I kept. Even now I'm still playing it and getting new sets for it. Just recently the lego batman movie level set. Man what a blast. X3 I'm allready a huge fan of the lego games, so even with the production being down, I still enjoy the game quiet a lot. Still would have been nice to see the game going and seeing more franchises comming out. Imagie a Bionicle level pack with a bionicle mini figur! XD And I totally agree, it was a clever and great decision to expand on one game instead of making sequels. It really sucked that I could not play the old playsets on DI 3

[@Shakiahjprod]

Would've bought lego dimensions if it wasn't so damn expensive. My family literally bought every major toy to life Skylanders game (except superchargers), Infinity (I loved all of them tbh) and Amiibo (stood out in line just to get rare figs, totally worth it) But Lego Dimensions just didn't feel attractive to me and my family and the price put us off completely

[@vuppet5684]

I have to admit: I’m not a huge fan of sky landers, but when I brought the first 2, I felt like I got my money’s worth. It was cheap putting Spyro in there, but that makes giants my favourite of the two, since it wasn’t focused around Spyro, and instead, was just a good skylanders game. Then I skipped swap force due to the fact that I didn’t feel that interested in it, and I did the same with trap team. I then decided to pick up super chargers. I was actually quite disappointed. I managed to complete the game in a measly 5 hours, and the final boss didn’t even feel hard. The level design was more blended in, rather than the better stick out of the first 2. After that, I don’t play skylanders anymore. I couldn’t care less about lego dimensions, but the thing I cherish still to this day since launch... are amiibos. They look nice, they’re well crafted and the in game functions aren’t required to beat a game, they’re just little bonus features! The only problem I have is that there aren’t enough in stock, and I guess that’s good for Nintendo, because that means people want more. I wish they remade the original skylanders in collaboration with Nintendo, or did an entirely different game with that (yes they did the DK and bowser skylanders, but they were just kinda boring) I just hope we can see another GOOD skylanders game. Also just to note: I found superchargers for £3 the other day. That’s just kinda sad Edit: I did pick up Disney infinity 2.0, and I got bored after like an hour. I wasted my money on that, and apparently, so did others

[@catpip_]

Vsauce Puppet Wow, that’s a perfect description of it. I had fun with the first two, with Giants being my favorite, but the companies just became desperate starting with swap force. It would have been better if they made better, more polished games without a different company working on Skylanders to make yearly games. Making too many different Skylanders was also a mistake. 32 was good for the first one because it was just starting out, and Giants had it good with only one Giant and normal skylander per element, but then there just came way too many skylanders for the later games, which made them easily forgettable and waste more money/ give Skylanders a greedier reputation.

[@vuppet5684]

Yeah I have to agree. If only maybe they had different optional extra levels for different skylanders That didn’t put things behind a paywall, but they were just for fun and maybe extra gold if you had the skylander. I would have loved to have also seen some sort of throwback to the original hubworld with new levels, and a few different places! A Spyro adventures remake, or a giants remake would be a dream come true!

[@dragon1512]

The first was so memorable. I still remember going home to my friends house almost everyday after school and spending maybe 2 hours on the kaos battle because we had so few characters. While it was annoying, it gave us a sense of accomplishment when we finally beat it.

[@reddragonunleashed1]

I agree. I understand why they wanted to add in a new gimmick every year but I don't understand why they took away and removed things the fans loved and the game kinda needed in some cases. The first game was perfect. The water function actually worked in that game so characters like Zap weren't useless. PVP mode was fun as well and I also liked training all the characters in those side quests to boost up their stats and make them as powerful as I could make them.

[@sunsetskittles2125]

I honestly loved the unique concepts of Swap Force and Trap Team when they first came out, and even still have some figures. I remember back in middle school trying hard to get a Skylander of every element and bottom-piece so I could unlock all unique zones. But then trying to collect all the traps and Trap masters made me realize as much as I enjoyed the game, I was tired of paying so much for the figures.

[@supersuccs]

I personally agree, although the figures were too expensive I love the concept of the games as well.

[@greenpigking6974]

I still remember my 10th birthday when I got the original sky landers game and played it all weekend with my older brother. I played through giants and bought swap force but it was a terribly boring game and at that point I was more into the PlayStation games. Had a lot of fun with the first two while it lasted though.

[@hadesofbadaim2982]

I liked swap force and trap team it was in of my favorite games.

[@sapphireshineauthor]

Swap Force is by far my favorite and (personally) best Skylander game. It had the best storyline in the series and I didn't really care for the mini-games, but the core level was fun by itself. I played that game through completion at least a dozen times by now. Also, best Skylander to play the tedious Fortress level is Roller Brawl, one of the fastest Skylanders and overall fun close combat playstyle.

[@doriyahdude5277]

Fairy Princess yes finally someone who agrees! #SwapForceSquad

[@caratsweetener8650]

Lmao. I was 9 when I got the first Skylanders game from Toys R Us. Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy and Skylanders just plummeted. I was 12 when I first got Disney Infinity from my favorite store, Hastings. Hastings then filed for bankruptcy and Disney cancelled DI. I was 13 when I got my first Amiibo from Blockbuster. Now there is only 1 Blockbuster left in America and pretty much all the Amiibo are on clearance at Wal-Mart for 5 dollars at the most. I'm now 16 and I'm starting to sense an awful trend.

I think amiibo are largely more successful due to the fact that not only are they useable in multiple games, but also because they double as displayable figurines for Nintendo characters that rarely ever get any. I have two amiibo, Fox and Falco (as well as Wolf in the future), mainly because I’m a Star Fox fan and figures of that series are absolutely _DRY_ in comparison to the likes of Mario and Zelda. Same reason for why I’m getting Starlink with its Star Fox figures when it releases. _-Also because it looks like a better Star Fox game than what Nintendo has done in years-_

Spyro’s Adventure: Fanatastic. Part of my childhood, spent hours on it Giants: by far my favorite one. Loved the giants and also played it for hours. Swap Force: Greed, and I thought the swap sky landers weren’t really that cool or interesting. Trap Team: The last game I played, but one I did enjoy. At this point I was pretty much done with skylanders though. Superchargers: Nope. Sorry, this was a mistake. There were no need for vehicles to be that prominent in a skylanders game. This one also made me skip imaginators
