Have you seen the "Kids react to" videos? They would get confused as to why there's a "box" on the back of an old tv and laugh at why they invented it without realising we needed to invent that to get where we are today. I doubt you would care for retro gaming as much.
I actually got into Retro Gaming when I was 11. :fou:

Paper Jam sucks. It's an awful game. It proposed a crazy hype idea, but it had zero fanservice, poorly executed "innovations", crappy sidequests, and probably, the worst plot on any Mario RPG. Yes, even worse than Sticker Star.

Wow really? I expected it to be good. I guess Mario RPG games are slowy becomming CoD type of games. Just releasing a new game for quick cash with not much effort put into :\

Now that I read again what I said, I sounded like I was on a total rage, lol. But seriously, I'm actually disappointed. It was one of the few hype-worthy things for my E3... but it didn't fulfill my expectations :c

The interwebs seem to be a little split on it. It looks pretty good overall, but it does make me cringe a little to see so much footage of standard mario characters in standard environments. I really miss the more crazy/innovative feel of Thousand Year Door and Partners in Time. I'll probably pick it up after a slight price drop.

Was Dream Team good btw? I'm thinking of buying that one since I just kinda skipped over it for some reason.

I used to play Rayman 2 on an old PS1 when I was 6 (2005?). We also had Time Crisis Project Titan (and I still have it), Disney’s Tarzan, Disney’s Hercules, Gran Turismo 2 (still have that one), Duke Nukem Land of the Babes (I also have that one), and more.

I now have a modded slim PSone. :)

I'm currently playing it and enjoying it for the most part, but all of the complaints you've heard about the game are true. It's not very creative and I don't know what they were thinking when they made the primary objective of the game to rescue Toads who will run away from you, but it's a generally fun game with a good battle system and awesome character interaction. We get to see Bowser Jr talk to the Koopalings for the first time ever, and it's interesting.

It's wonderful if you like tutorials and fetch-quests and boredom.

It was...g-gooood.... I mean, the spirit and the creativity were there. It's just that the whole thing was filled with tutorials everywhere.

Hi guys!


I was wondering, how bad is the 3DS port of RO? I played the demo and it.. it's not nice. But is it really that bad, the actual game, that is. ? :pascontent:

All DS / 3DS ports of Rayman games are bad, I think. :?

I believe the sound quality and framerate is bad in the 3DS port, though I don't know for sure as I've never tried it before.

I have both copies. I can say it's not as bad, it's still playable, but it is the worst port of Rayman Origins.

Hi!

On the french wiki I read this character is scrapped from Rayman Origins but the description is still present in the script.

https://raymanpc.com/wiki/fr/Flash_MacPtiz

Does anyone know more about his character? Can someone look into the Origin's details and find the english script?

Thx!
