List of ranks

How do 2D character ranks look any worse or less aesthetically pleasing?

WTF!? WHAT THE FUCK!? ARE YOU JESTING!?! WHAT!?

[Master]

I'm with Ad and Brad, I don't really see a disconnect in 2D and 3D ranks, provided that they're done well.

Xenon is an ancient RZ dinosaur like myself, and proper a Rayman purist, and he totally gets it.

God, kids these days.

How do 2D character ranks look any worse or less aesthetically pleasing?

It's hard to say, but it's something to do with the fact that things in 3D seem more, real, somehow (and that's not to say none of the Origins ranks are good, by the way, as some are fantastic), and it's the same reason I find the worlds from the second and third games to be the more aesthetically pleasing.

I do agree that we need a more representative ranklist with more 2D ranks, though.

Much as I love the 3D styles, I don't agree that the 2D ranks are less aesthetically pleasing.

It's a bit of a tangent, but I've been thinking about why some of us - consciously or unconsciously - regard the UbiArt games as spinoffs, or at least distinct from the 'main series'. Partly I think it's because they're not numbered, but I also wonder if it's their internal consistency. None of the first 3 Rayman games have properly shared an art style or overarching sensibility, though they've made obvious efforts to link to each other. But Origins and Legends are made with the same engine and with the same design intention. They feel like two parts of a single huge project - unlike the other three, which are all the flagship titles of their own projects. It's an approach that's unusual in the history of the IP.

This is probably not the place to bring this up, but since we've been having this little quibble in this very topic, I don't see why I shouldn't.

[rolesfamily]

It just comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. The rankslist should just remain a fair representation of all the Rayman games. Which is how it pretty much is atm.

[Jewish Candy]

There is no Legends on the ranklist at all. No matter what you think of the game, that's not fair representation.

[rolesfamily]

I didn't know that as I've never played it

[Jewish Candy]

... has it not been mentioned in this very thread that that was the case?
Rather, Legends-specific.

[rolesfamily]

Not that I've read, but then again why would I have read pages of this thread I'm not replying to? It shouldn't really be a surprise haha

Although I do forget how everybody here does tend to have perfect knowledge and is totally well informed 100% of the time xD

[Jewish Candy]

... you literally posted replies while Brad and Ad were both informing you of this fact. Stop being a forgetful Fitzgerald and get with the program dood, I haven't played either of the UbiArt games for any respectable amount of time so I listen to the people who have

Barbara, as a playable character specific to Legends, is far and away the best choice for a goodie Legends rank.

[rolesfamily]

Hah, the only thing Brad informs me of is how much of a cock he is! pahaha

All I think is that the rank list should represent all Rayman games fairly, obviously within reason and common sense. As I don't know much about any game after Rayman 3 I can't really say much for the other game ranks.

[Bradandez]

Then it's obvious why I think your ranks aren't as reasonable as having Legends ranks instead.

I never said have them instead, you're the one moaning 24/7. Retard

[Adsolution]

Get a room you two.

[Bradandez]

With him? lol

[Master]

Hmm, is this just a dissing contest now?

[rolesfamily]

I'm quite happy to be reasonable, it's Brad who keeps escalating it.

Yeah, that's pretty true.
