JiMing Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) In an era of violent shooter warfare games, Rayman Origins is a reminder of what games used to be like:simple, artistic, and magical.I am really looking forward to getting this game, what about you guys?Edit: Box art Edited November 24, 2011 by JiMing Quote Haven't seen one of these in a long time...

Transcendence Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I LOVE RAYMAN The first game is so full of awesomeness, it's not even funny! I can't wait for this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiMing Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 One of the best things about the game is that it perfectly combines all three games into one package of awesomeness! It has the wacky, surreal style of Rayman 1, the fantasy theme from Rayman 2, and the laugh-out-loud humor from Rayman 3! Quote Haven't seen one of these in a long time...

kalhiki Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Getting it for Christmas most definitely. It's the one game I've been looking forward to this year.I downloaded the demo and have played it, like, three or more times. It's just so addicting!Kalhiki Quote You're Doomed, Rayman!Boy!

Chibinuva Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'm planning on getting the demo soon to try it out, but I really want this game. Granted, I already have a lot of platformers, but they're all Sonic games, so I'm taking a break to try others (specifically this and some Kirby games.)

Transcendence Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I really hate spending money on useless stuff, but I guess I'll use the money I get on my upcoming birthday to get the game. Can't wait! Though I can feel myself bracing for the moment when my friends will want to play with me. I HATE teamwork. I just can't stand it.

Transcendence Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Oh! One thing I have to ask you, since you own the game.Which of the playable characters are best at, you know, the game in general?And how many playable characters are there?

Creep Of The Deep Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 You have four characters to play as, with unlockable skins.Rayman, Globox, Teensie 1 and Teensie 2.They are pretty much the same, only that Globox is bigger and the Teensies are twins and smaller.

Transcendence Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I actually got the game a few days ago. This game is really incredible!

Just love love love this game. I have to agree with you; the multiplayer is a blast. And it usually makes lum-gathering a whole lot easier.This game is absolutely gorgeous and fun. My heart was saddened by the invasion of Rabbids that seemed to have hijacked the Rayman franchise, so this game is quite the relief. It's so much different than Rayman 2 that it wouldn't be fair to make a comparison. On its own right, though, I am in love with Origins.The music is amazing too, and often hilarious.

Zorrakh Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I got the game on Wednesday, and I love it! The graphics are spectacular, the framerate is as smooth as marble, and the wackiness is light-hearted. My favorite parts of the game are the tricky treasures. I have so much fun playing through them again and again. I'm currently working on getting all the skull teeth (two to go), and then hopefully I'll be able to play the last level.

Although I just got the one in the Angsty Abyss, so I need to get twenty more Electoon medals (I think).Yeah, it's too bad that FPS have gotten as "popular" as they have. You don't need to have realistic graphics and blood to have a great game. Hopefully Rayman Origins will be able to pick up sales.I saw the IGN review a few days ago, and they gave it a 9.5. I think they subtracted .5 because there's a lack of online multiplayer, but I'm wondering why they think that's such a good idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a Prototype 2 trailer last night (I remember hearing something about the game and wanted to check it out), and while I think the concept is pretty cool (I think shapeshifting is the ultimate superpower ), it was so disgusting that I am discouraged about even thinking about buying it, there was so much blood. While your "friends" might say I'm a sissy or whatnot, I bet I have a lot more memerable moments playing my games then they have theres. I played Freddie Fish, Pajama Sam, Putt-Putt, and Spy Fox as a kid, and those were great times. I think I'll have those same moments with Rayman Origins, as well as other Wii games I have. I'm only sorry that these people are missing out because they can't think past shooting people up as fun. And I won't even have the arguement that it's only a game. Sure, I have some violent games, but I don't usually enjoy killing the enemy (well, aside from clones in Star Wars Battlefront 2 and aside from Terran scum in Starcraft 2 ). But, to my point, the only man vs. man there in Rayman Origins is punching. There's also crushing and lava and sawblades and other stuff, but Rayman only gets bubblized, and this is like playing a (real) cartoon.But, anyways, at least try and get them to play. Hopefully the blind will see. Just played this game for the first time yesterday...... <3 So, since <3 aren't letters, does that means words cannot describe how much you enjoy it? But yeah, I feel the same way. I haven't had this much platforming fun since Super Mario Brothers Wii. It's really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the blind will see. I would hardly consider those people my "friends". Luckily, I've found a sanctuary with other people who agree with my views. Never been a big Rayman fan, but I got the demo for this a while back and it's a definite buy. And I'd agree that it's a proper, old school and 'hardcore' game. I'm fine with blood and violence and killing in games, that's not my issue, my issue is that the gaming world now revolves too much around the same genre of shooters (basically point and click adventures), and even worse is that people who play only CoD think they're good gamers, that they're hardcore gamers etc, yet they laugh in the face of games like Rayman or Mario because they're completely unaware of gaming history and only know one genre. Most FPS games are for an audience of casual gamers who think they're hardcore gamers, when really they're the same as people who only play Wii Sports. I enjoy a bit of Halo now and again just as much as I enjoy the occasional Wii Sports session, but these aren't PROPER games.A little off topic. Anyway, I'll be picking this game up in New Years sales I expect.- TiliusGet the game, you wont regret it. Quote Haven't seen one of these in a long time...

BBCCD Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) And why does everybody hate the Wii!!??thats not what i meant. i said that because the Wii is not only the top selling console, but games like this usually sell incredibly well because there's no MW3 or BF3 to compete with. those two factors would suggest an incredibly high sales number, but i guess that's oddly not the case.(although admittedly i'd rather get this for PS3 or XBox because they're in HD and on the Wii this game will look a little blurry.)

Zorrakh Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 To get back on subject (), as I said in my second post, people just don't know what they're missing, and so it's up to us, those that enjoy the game, to help promote it. Not all the advertising in the world is compared to peer pressure showing you're friends what gaming used to be and still could be.But, anyways, I got the last Skull Tooth today and I just beat the Land of the Livid Dead. I'm not paranoid, but that level wanted to kill me. The Tricky Treasures are nothing compared to the Land of the Livid Dead. It's very tough, so if you get that far, beware, and pick up a heart before you start and keep it as long as you can. I still need to get 46 more Electoon medals, as well as the other medals (which I'm not sure they do, by the way). I want to at least get the Undead Rayman skin. I'm wondering what's everyone's favorite world so far? Aside from the difficulty, the Land of the Livid Dead is my favorite, followed by the Moody Clouds.

JiMing Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hmm my favorite level so far? Probably the Sea of Serendipity. The swimming is great and so is the music .Next is Jibberish Jungles. It's the first world of the game, what other reason do I need to like it ? Quote Haven't seen one of these in a long time...
