I don't see a problem with the storytelling of the first three games. The stories are very simple, but at least you know what's going on. That's not the case for Origins.

What if I liked this idea

Well, that is a certainly unpopular opinion!

So... Very unpopular opinion I'd assume but I like he R1-R2 rayman designs the most.

I'm pretty much only bringing this up because our man Ray apparently got into Astrobot! He pretty much uses the R2 design (skin eyebrows and everything!)

I love his palm tree hair so much, I know why they cut it (to make R3 EDGY!!!! and COOL!!), but it's really iconic! We might be seeing a comeback with the older designs rather than spiky hair and hoodies

Thats a hot take? surprised. I also think he looks pretty cool in R2!

It's not really a hot take, as the topic name states it's just an unpopular one. I don't hear a lot of people favor the older designs; they mainly favor R3-current

I really like the design of his beautiful, pixelated 32-bit world, but I also love the luscious cel shading of rayman legends

Honestly, i think they are both pretty good!
And i kind of miss the bandana, it looked really nice on him.

He’d still have it if that gang didn’t ruin everything

I like all designs! They are all special in their own way!

32-bit world? That's a new one… I think you'll find that all modern graphics hardware and software uses 32-bit colour, since the human eye cannot perceive anything finer

Yeah, learned that in computing class yesterday, coincidentally! I mean the amount of pixels within each sprite

Not to be a nerd, buuuuut Origins is cel-shaded lol, Legends is purely just painted.

But I have to admit every time I see the Origins style my mouth is left agape and I just gotta stare for like a good few minutes. SUUUUPER pretty.

Also, is this actually why they removed the scarf lol? I just assumed they changed it up for a hoodie to make R3 Ray look more badass

Origins is really pretty! I always see people praising the Legends artstyle, i mean yeah it is nice looking, but there’s just something about the Origins artstyle that i just can’t help but love.
It always reminded me of sparkling water, for some weird reason

Rayman legends is cel shaded too, just not in an obvious way

Nope, it’s an old nitro rad joke

Ooooh, interesting. Never knew that before. I'm gonna look into that, if I can

OOOOHHHHH. Makes sense now

What does the amount of pixels per sprite have to do with bitness? The indexing?

Very instructive, turns out Rayman was born in "Montipellier". I didn't even know about that city.

Presumably, considering people refer to “8bit” and “16bit” eras, but maybe I just used the wrong terminology

Here's a bit of an unpopular opinion, I don't hate the R1 GBC OST! :O
