Trouble remembering rayman games

[Said]

Alright,this may sound like a weird topic to talk about,but im kind of looking for help rn,i really like the rayman series but i always had this trouble,when people talk about the trilogy im either clueless or confused,i have only played the trilogy once and i havent gotten the time to play it again,i mostly play ubiart as i can just hop in and play for a small amount of time then close it but even then i rarely have time to play it,im looking for advice on how to become a rayman nerd..yknow the knowlage of the world rayman reference that kind of stuff,i would like to play them more as i think these are actually excellent games,but sometimes i struggle thinking about something to say about it,any tips?

Well Said, the first step is probably to finish the trilogy! And then from there you can look at and read the Ray Wiki to fill in the blanks (:

I'm with Mawpaw, it's a good idea to play the trilogy first, and then check RayWiki for more information! What order you complete the games in shouldn't matter, personally I finished both R2 and R3 before finishing Rayman Advance (which is the first version of R1 I played)

Can't hurt to replay them all to solidify your memories I barely remembered anything after the first time I played Legends (though in fairness it was just before a particularly stressful time in my life, and after another not-quite-so-stressful one!)

[The Jonster]

Clearly I did not read this enough, I meant it would be a good idea to replay them like Plum said!

You seem to remember the princesses very well though!

I'm talking about when I first played in June 2014. The next month was a complete rollercoaster for me, and afterwards I only remembered the main plot beats (such as they were ) and forgot all the beautiful details of the worlds. After a few months I rediscovered the princesses via replaying the Invasions and doing Challenges, and then in January 2015 I replayed it in full and finally did the game justice in my mind

[The Jonster]

I wish I was good at remembering the more intricate details of the trilogy. I remembered a lot of things from my plays of them but after doing dr_st's quiz last week or so ago there were things I didn't even know about, so I'm going to play the games again soon.

I remember writing a full walkthrough of the PC version of Rayman 2 by hand, in pencil, when I was otherwise unoccupied at school. (During the same period I sat beside the guy who was introduced to the series by Rayman DS )

[The Jonster]

Wow! You must have had a lot of time to do that then

Imagine if you had helped the 3 of us (me, Steo, Fifo) with the Revolution guide long ago!

[PluMGMK]

Well, I've never played Revolution (just watched a walkthrough many years ago) so I wouldn't have been much help

[The Jonster]

Oh I see. That's understandable then. If there's something I have trouble remembering it's anything from Origins and Legends due to not playing them enough. At least they will be easier for me to remap keys than the other games.

[PluMGMK]

In fairness it can be hard to remember Origins and Legends since the gameplay encourages you to just speed past all the beautiful details (or maybe that's just my style of play )

[The Jonster]

That's true, I pretty much did that both times in fact.

I do remember Origins than I do Legends however since the former felt more newer to me.

[PluMGMK]

Origins is great, I've been meaning to play it again for way too long now! The last time I played through it may have been 2018!

[The Jonster]

Actually that year is when I first played it and I haven't played since! I'm glad Steo influenced me to play the game though!

[PluMGMK]

We should all arrange to replay it at the same time in the near future then! (Kinda like when a bunch of people on the old Steam Forums [unfortunately since erased from existence by Valve ] all replayed Half-Life 2 at the same time back in 2013 )

[The Jonster]

This reminds me of when I played Rayman DS for the first time ages and then R4Y decides to play the original game himself and time against me. Good times!

I have a similar feeling... I can remember almost everything from the original trilogy, but it's very difficult for me to remember something from Rayman Legends. I guess it is because of the "lack" of story mode (?)

[PluMGMK]

I think so. The levels try to tell stories by their backgrounds and what's going on, but you really have to pay attention, and if you blink you'll miss it and before you know it you're onto the next world. Rinse and repeat
