In my original post I explained how easy and obvious it could be to embrace a new direction while still keeping the UbiArt Glade. There's absolutely no reason Rayman has to stay Mario level neutral in order to remain easy to work with and easy to try new things with.
It's on page 9 of this thread, and I'm honestly interested in how you'd view that kind of direction. I know you dislike applying story and lore and whatever to Rayman when it comes in the way it did with R2/R3, but what harm would there be in establishing actual character development, making us learn a bit more about life in the Glade, and allowing an occasional moment to tone down the constant wacky? As long as there's a good writer behind that shit, it could be a saving grace for Rayman.
With two console games and three mobile game, it's inevitable that people will grow bored regardless of how good or bad it is. No one fucking laughs at a toilet paper joke after their 5th Rabbid game because it's the same shit with new gimmicks.

It's become really common these days for modern cartoons to have more complex and layered (but by no means confusingly complex) plots and characterization the longer they run because writers and artists are being given more creative freedom, so I'm still hoping to see this happening with the Rayman universe as well. Obviously the plot doesn't have to be some incredibly moving, Oscar winning story, but I still want to have at least a some kind of a reason to why I am happily jumping around and beating up enemies. The Glade has so much potential, but Ubisoft only thinks about what makes money and I doubt they're going to cater solely to some forum on the Internet any time soon.
Yeah, exactly. UbiArt Rayman 3 can totally keep up what it's established and been doing, all while evolving things too. I think maybe RPC tends to be a little too harsh with it's criticism regarding what Legends actually added to the series, because it's just your usual sequel and it did well at being that, but it should be considered obvious that a new game is willing to evolve and expand once more, and I'm all for them taking a peek at some cartoons.

Bad arguments and bad memes.
