Honestly the score doesn't really matter, as long as people are having fun!

Good point! I always played Rayman 3 to immerse myself in the pretty scenery more than anything. That and... missile command

I've always liked the Rayman 3 minigames, I feel like the get trashed on more than they deserve.
It's not like they're main focus or anything, wouldn't that be silly?

What? There’s not even electoons in Legends so that makes 0 sense
I can't be the only one bothered by the fact Rayman is standing proudly smiling over a distressed electoon in a cage? Seems to me like the people modelling had no idea who Rayman was, did a few once overs of gameplay, then made the figure
Clearly this figure was a joke. Looks nice I’ll give them that, but it seems the modeller had absolutely no idea what the games were like. And yeah, like Goop said, Rayman Legends?

I agree it's a very goofy figure. I'm still getting it because I'll get any Rayman merch I can get

Yes, this has been discussed before, and yes, it's in really bad taste. I don't know what they're thinking

I'm glad other fans noticed that the figure makes no sense as well.

And yeah, Goop. The electoon looks constipated

Oh nuts, I didn't realise this year it started at 5 for me. Or maybe it's always been like that and I just don't pay enough attention to the counter, but I assumed it was 6. Not that it changes much.

See this is the right posting idea here. If you’re trying to lose Tings.
Anyways remember guys not to spam or multi-post (imagine 100 posts of Greengoop’s flooding this thread, dear!)

With just under half an hour left to go, allow me to reiterate, to make sure everyone remembers:

Anyway…
Since the big day is close at hand, I'd like to remind our members of a few things:

Please keep Humch's words in mind:
This is not a spam contest, and useless messages are obviously not welcome. However, the special conditions during the record day will be the cause of a certain leniency, especially as concerns old topics, which can be bumped freely.

Double-posting (or triple-posting, etc.) is not allowed even on Record Day. I can remember at least one case of someone who lost Tings after it was discovered that they had made several double-posts during the day, and so inflated their counter. Please, we moderators don't want to have to delete posts during an occasion that's all about making posts, so let's all be sensible!

To elaborate a bit further on those two points… Remember that the posts made on Record Day are here forever. They will continue to appear in the topics in which they're posted, among all the other discussions we have had and will have. People in the future can and will try to read those discussions, and we don't want them to have to wade through several sequential posts all made by the same person, or short nonsensical posts. [Note that the same rationale applies to the general rule against double-posting]

That said, extra zaniness and whimsy are inevitable and welcomed. It's nice to make some fond memories that will make us all smile as we look back through them in the future
Also, I forgot to mention that any topics we feel are getting too spammy (multi-posting, lots of short posts with no creativity) can and will be locked. Let's not let that happen, shall we?
