it would be fine if it had strafing, but it doesn't so it sucks. also the remake won't have Chairman Drek, like what the gently caress. he's the best part of that game. FactsAreUseless posted:Is it still a remake if it doesn't follow the plot of the original? Doesn't that just make it a prequel? no they're just replacing drek with a different villain because i guess the "evil guy in a suit" trope would come off as outdated or something. rumor is they're working nefarious into it somehow instead because everyone likes dr nefarious. tbh there aren't a lot of concrete details, just that it will tie into the movie which will follow the same basic "new" origin story.

i don't "get" rayman legends, i mean there's only one "right" way to play each stage, right? you just go on the route that lets you hit all the 'notes' to the music, once you've done every stage and hit all the notes what else is there to do

only a few levels are synced to music and they're rewards for beating a world. there are a zillion levels and the point of them is to find 10 hidden dudes to rescue while having super fun then replaying them in a mercilessly tough challenge race mode. sorry you suck and are awful at having fun.

The only criticism you could reasonably level at Rayman Legends is that it uses Uplay. It's a pretty flawless platformer, all things considered. I guess the reward for finding all the little blue dudes is pretty poo poo, but other than that it owns.

hubris.height posted:what is the reward for finding all the dudes? The game's got a pretty gentle difficulty curve, which I don't think is a straight-up detriment for the main stages. The time trials and the final bonus stages are where the game can actually get challenging.

final bonus stages are hilarious (one song splits the screen into 32 smaller screens all of sudden and expects you to do jumps. vision obscuring/screen flipping/fish eye lens are in there too.) they feel great to beat but they're just troll versions of the regular bonus levels and aren't that hard if you are good at the originals. the only time the game is hard is on the challenge levels (luckily every main level has a challenge version!). there are some that took me longer than whole worlds to beat with a gold rank. the game has a pretty great difficulty feel if you ask me. also its sense of humor is fantastic and i love a lot of the boss battles (and especially the post boss battle cutscene) Real hurthling! fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jan 23, 2015 |

it's making a good point which is that most games bloggers pretend they're upper class just because they're drip-fed information from people much wealthier and more important than they are, and that "journalism" in gaming has always been and will always be a popularity contest fueled by an unwarranted sense of importance all of which is just AAA game publishers using the same tactics you would see from car salesmen, except now the car salesmen have lesser salesmen to do the pitches for them, and people trust those guys for some reason.

Your first paragraph needs to be a thesis. This is like basic writing 101 that everyone learned in 6th grade, but people who write for gaming sites are not journalists and are typically pretty dumb. It doesn't matter that there is some sort of ethical code, because games journalism isn't real. All of these people are just bloggers. It's not a real profession.
