Re: Social media you use the most?

Call me a cynic, but I feel like the issue is less to do with the platform itself, and more its mechanics and how it seems to naturally cultivate negitivity. It's not like Twitter was a bastion of reasoned and well mannered discussion before the acquisition was had anyways... I know Mastodon and the...

Re: Rayman 3

Ah my apologies, I feel like I've trivialised and underestimated the scope of the task. I will admit as stated before I don't have much knowledge of the differences between Rayman 3 versions as I have Rayman 2 versions, and where I have found differences in Rayman 2, I've stuck with compiling catego...

Re: Rayman 3

It'll be as Hunch suggested, I'll set up a subsection on the Rayman 3 RayWiki article and add what I know, and you're more than welcome to add further on or just give me a shout with what you know and I'll add your knowledge to the article with due credit.

Re: Rayman 3

Your support would be most welcome, to me the differences in Rayman 3 are far more subtle than those of Rayman 2, and I haven't got the same range of experience of playing the different versions of R3 so while I know of the odd quirk that I've brought up before, your experience is far more comprehen...

Re: Unpopular opinions on Rayman

As always, when nothing makes sense, you can always use the ol' cop-out: a wizard Polokus/Bubble-Dreamer did it.

(Ok it is kinda funny how Polokus can be used as a canon patcher)

Re: Unpopular opinions on Rayman

That is a narrative point that never really seemed to be explained. Granted it's fairly dramatic and cool from a visual standpoint, but the lack of reasoning behind the Prison Ship seemingly falling apart as your traverse is indeed strange. Going to that cutscene with Polokus beforehand, maybe when ...

Re: Rayman 2

Random question for folks who've played the N64/DS versions cause I noted a difference in Rayman 3D, but I just recently saw some footage of DS and now I want to be sure of the detail. Does the pause menu in the N64 or DS versions play the Main Menu theme? It does in Rayman 3D which I found interest...

Re: Guilty Or Innocent Game (Rayman Style)

Oooh, so guilty! When you think about it, Lums on slides are probably among the most frustrating aspects of Rayman 2, even though they're basically just showing you where to go. I wonder if it would have been better for them to fly towards Rayman when he's sliding (like they do when they're freed f...

Re: The Awesome and Cool Rayman Poll Thread

Haha, very much so, well, that or the hadouken. I do wonder what the rationale was behind that animation change to be honest, I don't think there was anything wrong with the original animation. Just an excuse to throw a potential reference in there? Or did they think the original animation didn't sh...

Re: Which box art looks the best? - #30 (Super Mario Bros)

Hmm, now this is an interesting one, I know Ninty seemingly had a policy of only using in-game graphics for a while on their old US NES boxes. And I think that artwork is probably the most iconic for it. ...But I think there's a lot more personality and charm to be had with the drawn artwork used in...

Re: The Awesome and Cool Rayman Poll Thread

Power Fist is probably the more tactical offensive power, the riccochet makes it very easy to cheese enemies (or bullet sponges - looking at you Barrel Pirates). That being said, I feel like the classic Punch is more...iconic. It makes use of Rayman's own unique limblessness to do something that man...

Re: Rayman 3

We know the Hoodlums were trying to rescue Andre from Globox, perhaps they sent over captured Teensies and other offerings in the hopes of placating the Knaaren into handing over Globox? Makes me wonder if it'd be worth making a log of R3 version differences on the wiki. I think a section in the Ray...

Re: Unpopular opinions on Rayman

From an aesthetic standpoint I can see what you mean, but I strongly disagree that the levels lack an identity per se, each level has its own distinct set pieces and gimmick that set them apart. It's one of the reasons I complain about Revolution's level muddling, as the gimmicks end up being mushe...

Re: Unpopular opinions on Rayman

In terms of feeling like complete levels I'd say yes, but in terms of having a cohesive identity...not so much. But the issue here is that I've played Rayman 2 so many times that I have a set idea as to what the levels *should* be like, as such I can't say for certain if they do work for someone who...

There is also the consideration that normal life obligations are likely to have resumed at this point, so availability in general may have changed.

Re: Unpopular opinions on Rayman

Wait The Precipice is an unpopular level? That's genuinely a surprise to me, it's one of my favourites due to the spectacle and premise. While I've always found it to be a bit too generic, it's true that the epic music and the fast-paced action make it quite special. The Ninja Henchman at the end w...

Haha, at the risk of being shamed, I will admit I do unironically consider Grolem to be the most fun of the Guardian fights, even if it is fairly basic.

Re: Off Topic

From personal experience, I'd say the draw for a lot of live service games like Destiny or MMOs (which I feel are pretty much live service adjacent), comes from the community. Games like those tend to work best when you've got folks playing it with you, then you get group activities like raids and t...
