Forums - Nintendo - Rayman on sale and platformer discussion.

I own the 3 games, 3D World, Rayman Legends and Tropical Freeze.
Donkey Kong tropical Freeze is the best one and the most old school one.
Rayman is also great, the little problems it has are
murphy levels (I understand they tried to make something unique with the gamepad, and I find that admirable, but it is not much fun imo)
8 bit levels
a little floaty
all playable characters are reskins with the same physics, how high they jump, their speed, reach etc

but still I think it deserves at least a 9 out of 10

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.


Im not putting words in your mouth look its right there.

"I do not care about story in games"

"but with mario thats different I do care now"


For the love of God. In Rayman there's almost no story - I'm fine with that

In Mario there is a story, one that I find bad. If it had no story, I'd be fine with it. If it had an almost non existant one, again, I would be ok with it. Since it does have one and it's bad (imo) it bothers me.

Can you not compehend the difference between no story and bad/annoying story?

Not only do you need to seem to get such a simple concept, you make it about Ninty, which I did not mention as having a problem with. So if I mention something bad about Little Big Planet, it's because it's Sony? No! I'm talking about a specific franchise.



I liked the floaty controls in Rayman Origins. I agree it could feel odd but I felt that it actually added greater skill to things, especially in the chase the chest levels because not only did you have to know when to jump (often with extremely little time to react), but you had to know precisely what sort of jump to do and it made those stages even more intense and gave an even greater level of satisfaction when you completed them

Sonic 2 > Sonic 3. I said it right there.

You are right! Sonic 3 & Knuckles, on the other hand, is much better than Sonic 2!

You're always picking a fight about Sonic with me, aren't you? Darn your posts! ;)

The solution to this problem is simple: stop making Sonic-related posts!

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.

The plot of _______ is that  _________ kidnapped ________ and you must save the day by running and jumping.

Mario and Rayman have the exact same base story with just a few names changed. I assume you can now see how it looks like you're judging Nintendo critically because they're Nintendo?

Who exactly is kidnapped in Rayman? What's her name? All I remember is the main character having nightmares and those nightmares turning into monsters.

In Origins there are these 5 or 6 nymphs you have to save (one in each world) that you have to save to unlock the second half of the game. They're all female.

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.
