Yeah, definitely agree. Rayman Legends and Origins are by far my two favourite platform games. The lack of story doesn't bother me at all.

With Mario it's a bit different. I don't care that it doesn't have a strong story, just that it's the same one one again and again. Also, the whole stereotype of women needing saving from men. I'm sure that worked fine in the 80's but times have changed. I wish they would come up with a new simple story.


I see the feminists have got to you too. 

How about the stereotype that woman are peaceful and spiritual and men are the source of violence

Don't get brainwashed so easily. Women are physicaly weaker than men - that's a fact. Men also display a better tactical war sense. With regards to BS like this,

95% (conservatively) of serious gamers are guys. Excluding artists, 95% (conservatively) of game devs are guys. Yet there is a shitstorm over Assasin's Creed not having a female character for multiplayer.

There is way too much insanity out there already, don't let it get to you too.

Never have been a feminist nor do I like Feminazi's at all. I also don't see the point in forcing Ubi to include female protagonists. But as for your point about 95% of gamers or serious gamers being male, I don't know whether that is accurate, but what I do remember is a study made by Ninty showing that 50% of their audience is female.

I also don't care for stories empowering women. The artists can do whatever they want and i cannot relate that much to female protagonists anyway. My point is that I, personally, don't like the same plot especially when a woman has to be rescued again and again. Women are weaker and that's a fact, but to be kidnapped again and again shows a bit of stupidity. I'd rather see the bad guy kidnap one of the younger looking characters or get a spell to destroy a city. Anything but the same old story.

In Rayman though you do save women trapped in cages, that's not the main story, only a part of it. The story is so forgettable that it seems like it doesn't have a story, which is fine (for me) for a platformer.
