I played all the way up to The Longest Shortcut. The fix is great though some textures look funny and stretched out, but not to a point where it ruins the game or whatever. The only time it was really noticeable was The Desert of the Knaaren, as all the red textures at the start look odd.

I think Rayman 3 has the best soundtrack, honestly. There's such great variations and entire tracks dedicated to areas you might spend barely a minute in. I love standing still in The Bog of Murk and just observing the silent, dark music. The problem is that dialogue makes it strange at some points. I absolutely love the music playing when the Fair Council is falling apart, but then Murfy goes trough it making funny comments that don't fit the setting at all.

Be more bored then. I think Rayman 3 is not getting the deserved praise for its soundtrack.

Murfy's comments are just about the only well-written and well-performed comedic dialogue in the game. The humour and acting go sharply downhill after the Fairy Council.

Lets say I have a love-hate relationship with the Rayman 3 humour, there are fun moments but at the same time there are stuff I would rather they didn't exist or they were phrased differently.

Another debatable subject.

If you're quoting me, say something relevant at least.

I wouldn't mind it if they had toned it down a bit more. In the Desert of the Knaaren, it would have been fine if they had just kept the joke at "Make him write bad checks" but then the conversations about whose father is stronger and parties destroys it. It's a real dark place and can be real freaky especially in the beginning or where Zombie Chickens appear, and the jokes just don't work at all.

Haruka put it best for me, some of the humour is pretty decent, but other times, it can get in the way really, you just want to bask in the great atmosphere the game can build up to, but some of the dialogue can take away that feeling.

I hated them at first, but I like R3's iteration of the Chicken more for it, in R2, they were more of a goofy, irritating obstacle, here, they seem almost imposing, and they live up to their name more.
Check out Ad and co's iteration of the Zombie Chicken, they are even more imposing and terrifying.

Well, I still find the music being what adds to the Zombie Chicken's spooky nature, but I don't know if I'd want to check that out or not... :shock:

No. I poked fun at how you said you "observe" music which is impossible. And dude, I listen to, play and make music like 25 hours a day.

You guys remember back in 2005/2006 when Windows XP Media Center Edition was released? I had that before and tryed the Media Center on it. It had Gamesload on it and they offered Rayman 3 FOR FREE!! Can someone explain me why they gave it out for free while retail CDs and DVDs where still traded on UbiSofts website?

I never had Windows XP Media Center, so I would have not known that or why... interesting history though.

Just entered my new score and went from 142 to 115. Do I get tings for that? :o

EDIT: I do. I'm Tarayzan!

Yup, Humch implemented an automatic ting system, so admins are spared the task of giving tings for HOF scores, and we don't need to wait.

I plan on entering my score when I feel I've done good enough in the game. :P

I want to keep trying hard. :)

I think I should be able to get up to 80 at least, but I don't have the patience for it.

My order of favourite Zombie Chicken go RotD->R2->R3. Strangely enough, RotD's Chicken seem so much more terrifying, while I haven't even seen more than but 30 seconds of them in actual gameplay.
