Rayman Raving Rabbids

@Stacey RRR2 for PC received the same treatment too.

@Ad At least I prefer to think about the 3DS internet browsing than the DS one (but the worst thing despite of the poor resolution was the fact that you had to pay 50,00€ for an internet browsing kit for the console, talking about ridiculous).

I didn't even know they had those for the DS. How useless.

[Haruka]

They did have, but I obviously was finding ridiculous to pay 50€ for the kit while I had much better alternatives (computers) for browsing plus the fact that the only place where I could find compactible WEP internet for the DS was at my own house. That's why I think that the integration of the browser in the 3DS is something that the DS should have done before.

Finally got a copy of Rabbids go Home on PC and I'm kinda disappointed that it's very, very cut down from the Wii version, with only 16 levels and practically everything else cut. Sure it plays alright and all the music is intact but it feels a bit empty...but there's another upside, I assumed it'd be only in French because the packaging was in French but it turns out that it's playable in English at the very least, perhaps in up to 6 languages.



Bwah

Please make an ISO. I have only Russian version.

So that Rabbids Big Bang game is out, and going by the trailer it looks kind of... fun? It reminds me of Angry Birds Space, which is the only version of Angry Birds I ever really liked, so that's something I guess.

[Keane]

Average to mediocre in my opinion. Looks like something I'd have fun with for a two minutes and then get bored.

[Minor-T5]

To be honest, that Rabbids Big Bang thing looks boring. I mean, sure, I haven't tried it yet, but...it just looks so eh.

Hm, is your internet dodgy, Keane? You've been making duplicate posts for quite a bit of time.

Huh I wasn't aware. Did delete one earlier. I'll check after I make posts now. But yeah my internet is kinda up and down.

I'm uploading the ISO right now but it's gonna be a while what with my crappy upload rate.

The other thing I tried was to extract the .BF file that's there with a BF extractor that's around the net somewhere but I can't get it to work somehow. Not sure if it's to do with the fact that RGH runs on the LyN engine while this extractor is for all the Jade engine games (RRR1, BG&E, King Kong etc), either way I type in the right commands but it crashes the command prompt.

[OCG]

No worries
I can wait.

[Cairnie]

Right here it is, after a good few hours of uploading:

Upon the first time you load the disc some Mindscape shit might come up, but just close it and the actual install should come up after.

[OCG]

Thanks a lot. I am on cell phone now so I will download this tomorrow.
EDIT: Downloaded but it has some issue if I try to play it on 1080p. It has massive black boards around and a tiny screen in middle. 720p works fine though.

So I'm back to trying to finish more Rabbids games, at least the ones with endings and Rayman in them. I just finished Rabbids 2 for both Wii and DS, and I liked the Wii one a lot and the DS one was okay I suppose. There's much more polish in Rabbids 2 for Wii than the original Rabbids game, even compared to the 360 version with the more defined textures and higher res graphics. Minigames are more well made and 100%ing the score mode is not only possible this time, but is not infuriating. I could barely get the 750 possible max achievement points in the 360 version of 1, so I wasn't looking forward to trying to 100% a Rabbids game with Wii controls based on the frustration there, but Rabbids 2 wasn't bad at all.

Started TV Party for Wii, but I just now finished TV Party for DS. Well I sort of finished it. I don't know what the hell happened but TV Party is so much worse than Rabbids 2 for DS. It seems to be the same development studio except all of the minigames are even more simplistic and the customize your Rabbid part seems broken. It's just a bunch of weird stamps and you can change the hair, which is never the same color as the picture it seems. Where are the clothes? Did Ubisoft Casablanca just get lazy and scrap them? Even worse, it seems like getting all golds in score mode doesn't actually do anything. At least I assume so, you can't seem to get gold on Weigh your Boxer because the high score requires over 1,100 and you can actually only get max 1,100 points. Way to go programmers!

Not to mention the rest of the score modes for the games tend to be incredibly easy and have timers set to 3 or 4 minutes, causing this painful tedium of doing the same thing over and over again until you are incredibly bored. Then you finish the minigame and see your score is about 4x over gold sometimes. I guess the designers didn't give a shit about balancing the time or score for this mode and just set arbitrary numbers. Strange again, because they didn't do that on Rabbids 2 for DS.

The weird thing is, I had a better impression of Ubisoft Casablanca because I enjoyed their Wind Waker style DS games in the Prince of Persia series. I was hoping their Rabbids titles would be a bit more inventive than that.

After I finish TV Party for Wii, I'm going to to do the Wii and DS versions of Go Home and Travel in Time, then I'm done with Rabbids. I have no interest in playing Rabbids Land, Rumble, or Kinect because they have no story modes with endings as far as I know.

[OCG]

Wind Waker styled DS games PoP games? Show me gameplay please. I never knew PoP for DS existed.

[Master]

I believe they were just handheld iterations of console titles, adapted to play on the DS.
For instance, The Forgotten Sands, from 2010, I believe:

RRR2 is my favourite of the trilogy of the Rabbids, since the Wii version is truly completable and not as frustrating as the other two titles. I also think that the minigames in general were improved. The DS version was ok to kill time too.

TV Party was terrible. I really have no patience to beat the Wii version at 100% due to serious programming errors done for specific minigames' controls. It really makes terribly difficult to do, and since the only thing you unlock is just Rabbids costumes for a very specific minigame based up on luck, it is not worth my time. The DS version was even worse. The score mode is the very same thing as doing the story mode, except the time is too much expanded. In short, it becomes super tedious. Imagine what's catching musical notes by throwing a Rabbid with the stylus for 4 minutes, non-stopping (or else you won't have the gold cup). You only unlock Rabbids costumes so I also stopped to lose time with that.

After I finish TV Party for Wii, I'm going to to do the Wii and DS versions of Go Home and Travel in Time, then I'm done with Rabbids. I have no interest in playing Rabbids Land, Rumble, or Kinect because they have no story modes with endings as far as I know.

RGH for the Wii was too repetitive, so after reaching the ending cutscene I nevermore touched it. I also heard that it is impossible to complete it with 1000 junks in every level.

Travel in Time opened my eyes in how appearances illude. It made me stop trusting in their games.

It's a smart move they adapted it instead of trying to create replica version. But I believe PC, Wii and PS3 and PSP version had differences as well. Similar how Spider-Man games.

[Master]

It's more common sense to adapt then replicate on the DS, it's probably impossible to take a PS3/360 game and downgrade it to such an extent.

[syntheticgerbil]

Yeah Forgotten Sands was very much like Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 where almost every version was a completely different game. PS3/360/PC, Wii, PSP, and DS were all different.

And sorry for any misinformation on Wind Waker style. I meant the Ubisoft Casablanca PoP DS games look very much in the Wind Waker squat cel shaded style, not that they place like an actual Zelda game. Still platformers.
