You must really hate books.

Fortunately, we live in the 21st century, and an alternative now presents itself: audiobooks!

All jokes aside, I like the Raymanian speech the best of all. It just seems more logical that a planet of species so strange as Rayman, Globox and the Teensies would have a native language as opposed to one that is spoken - so far - only by humans (and some androids). Also, usually the voice acting itself sucks, which is a shame, because good voice acting can really liven up the experience.

Unsurprisingly, I thought the same upon reading his post.

Lol XD
Anyway I have to admit reading subtitles can be a nuisance.

Why do you think that subtitles are a nuisance? I say they aren't.

I only think subtitles annoy me when the show's in English and it has Dutch subtitles that cover half the screen, or when the subtitles replace the original video's captions. Then you're either forced to read the - translated - subtitles because you otherwise you don't know what's going on, or, if you can manage to ignore them, they're still always blocking your view. For the rest of the time, subtitles are fine.

I really don't care that the subtitles block a little bit of the screen. I just ignore them sometimes.

Well, yes, that's normal subtitles. But sometimes some idiot has decided the subtitles are more important than the movie itself and then half of the screen is blocked.

I noticed in the video touring the Ubisoft studios that the engine they use uses bones with its characters much like a 3D editor would with models. Interesting.

I prefer the gibberish they speak. Specially The Magician's lines and Helena Handbasket's german accent. Though I prefer Raymanian speaking teensies, in Rayman 2 they sounded like they were wise and in RO that they were crazy.

I had fun listening to the pig-latin in Rayman Origins. It'll be nice to hear it in this game.

I agree. The R2 voice of the Teensies has been the most representative of their character, for me. The R3 and RO approaches just don't cut it, character wise, but they fit in very well with the atmosphere of the game itself, so that's worth noting too.

Me it is the reverse. In gaming, I like to read the stuff. That's why as a kid it was also an incentive for the learning of the English language since videos games in Portuguese are rare. Most portuguese kids like to ignore the English textings or dialogues and then after they complain they are stuck in a specific part of the game.

Well that ain't me.

No. I love reading. I've read the entire Hunger Games trilogy, one of my favorites I only hate subtitles

You’ve read three whole books? Whoa!

No haha much more. That was only an example. If I hated books I would never read 400-page books.

Personally, I had better reading habits before, mainly at my 11 years old. Now I don't read as much as before. I also struggle to read for a long time now, in the 11th grade I was forced to read an entire (big) book for Portuguese subject, and sometimes I had headaches by reading for more than 1 hour followed. It was an interesting book by the way.

I used to read books and books for as long as I can remember up until about age 13 - I've read at least a hundred. But I don't read nearly as much anymore, partly because my eyesight has been getting worse over time, and it's difficult to read book text. I always zoom in webpages by 135 percent.

I used to read books all the time. Then the internet destroyed my attention span.

Still you make precise models and amazingly detailed ambients.

I used to read loads of books when I was younger. I loved reading. I still do, really, but the point now is, is that my school forces me to read books from periods of time where the writing style is so different, it's hardly ever enjoyable, and that kills the fun of reading. I did just read an entire book in the morning just the other day though, so I've still got it in me ... I just have to be motivated to read because I have to, as opposed to reading because I want to.
