Rayman Legends |OT| "It's a bit like a porno" (Michel Ancel) WiiU/360/PS3/Vita/PC
- Thread starter Micerider
- Start date
Awesome! Excited to unlock some more.
New Super Rayman Bros. 2
Just to be clear here - I'm not talking about the Wii U Pro controller - I mean the Wii Classic Controller Pro.
Just finished Teensie's in Trouble 100% and ran some daily challenges on Steam love it so much! I like to slow burn this series so I forced myself to stop after that. This will keep me occupied for awhile. 
Only thing I didn't like was Uplay is required but that's ok I got Origins free and paid 1/4 what it cost on console. Oh and Legends is a wallpaper generator haha so pretty.

Is there a code for the preorder costume? I just picked up my preorder from them but I see no code on the reciept or inside the box (the sales clerk thought the code would be in the box).
I wanted that costume.

oh, i'm not sure about that. I thought you meant the wii u pro.
I don't have one so i can't check, sorry.
Ubi sent our store just three of each retail version. They must not have huge expectations for the game on any system.
For the guy asking about CC support, it is listed on the back of box, along with Pro Controller support, so you should be all clear.
I'm back at work but I'm pretty sure it's in the box since this is on it:
FWIW I got a brief glimpse at the floor copy but I don't think I saw that GameStop Exclusive content marker on it. Soo... maybe the guy gave you a non-pre-order copy...

Just completed the 5 main worlds and now working on unlocking the last one. Cleaning up the invasion paintings now, got 3 left, but man
these dark rayman levels don't fuck around!
To me the big question is, are you planning to mostly do co-op or solo play?
Wii U looks like the definitive version for coop, but for solo Id go with it on PS3
I actually thought multiple times playing through the murfy stages on PC "Man, this would SUCK if I wasnt controlling Rayman and playing solo". Some people seem to like that but idk its just not for me (well maybe if that was the hook for Rayman Jungle Run sequel)
Once you get used to calling in Murfy I dont think the stages feel that different from the traditional ones, but idk people in this thread disagree with me on that.
Some misc. thought about the leaderboards, ghosts etc. correct me if I'm wrong or overlooked stuff about this. (this is on the PC)
1:For invasion levels, being unable to see a comprehensive list of leaderboards is very annoying. The fact that you have to access an actual level just to see its leaderboard is even more annoying. If you can so easily locate the challenge leaderboards, why is it so (comparatively) difficult to find invasion level leaderboards.
2: For both challenges and invasion levels, being unable to see a specific persons ghost, e.g. the top player to see how they've gone about things is annoying. The lack of any ghosts at all while doing invasion levels sucks.
3: That extra objective screen during challenges, while introducing only a single extra button press, completely ruins the fast fail system present in the rest of the game. These challenges are named exactly for what they are, challenge, so you expect to die more on these levels than any other. In an invasion level, you die, it is instantly 3, 2, 1, and you're gone. Challenges, gotta hit that button again. Small, but annoying.
I guess I understand the ghost thing a bit, it's so you don't get everyone instantly copying the same route or whatever. It makes sense. But you should still be able to select a certain persons ghost if you are within say....10 - 20 places lower than them in the leaderboard, imo.

Hold on, I haven't been paying attention to the other versions, I assumed all the platforms were just like PC where in Murphy levels you control Rayman, except on Wii U if you had a coop partner they could be Murphy on those levels. So some version of the game you actually lose control of Rayman completely?
If so that's pretty funny. Playing with a 360 pad, and after rebinding Murphy from Y (the dumbest button I've ever seen for a quick reflex mechanic) to left trigger, it made the Murphy levels as smooth as butter. I figured everyone's dislike for them was just hyperbole since they don't like "change", the same way people tended to hate on the mosquito levels in Origins.

Probably a total of 3 minutes throughout the whole game.

Do you mean literally just the gyro or the touch screen/gyro stuff in general?
If you mean gyro, not much. If you mean touch/gyro in general, a lot.

Closing in on reaching 700 Teensies, just finished up all the back to Origins stages and came to the conclusion that Sea of Serendipity/Luscious Lakes have the weakest stages in Origins, grouping all the water stages together just highlights how samey they can be.
Anyway I can safely say Legends wins out on water stages and boss battles, even if Legends bosses can be a drag they're not quite the trial and error madness (well they sort of still are) of those in Origins which do in fact die really fast once you remember how to do it, but that relearning process ain't fun, weakpoints that pop up for mere seconds that practically demand prior knowledge to hit.
It would be smooth sailing on the way to 700 now but Invaded Infiltration Station is a thing that exists.

speaking of the 700 teensy reward
and I agree the boss battles in Legends are definitely superior. Id peg all but the Armored Toad as on par with Rayman 1's if the checkpoint system wasnt so lenient. I keep meaning to post about how much I dig them but forgetting
I cant tell if the golden teensy you unlock is supposed to be a dig at NSMB2 or not

So how does the Vita version hold up?
Good? Fair? Excellent?

I've never had trouble with uPlay (although I skip any always-online games). The big problem is that it's another unnecessary DRM layer. Once Ubi pulls a Microsoft and decides that they don't care about their servers, I can't reinstall my game without a crack.
Six (one per world) plus six harder versions of those.

Played the VITA demo. Liked it a lot. Will pick it up once i am done with Killzone.

Based off of the demo it looks fantastic, and is running at 60 FPS at all times. So great it that regard.
However it's missing 28 levels, so it's not at content parity.
Literally just the gyro. Thanks for the responses! Even if it doesn't happen that much I can't stand forced gyro controls. I can only afford one Vita game this month and between this and Killzone Mercs I'm leaning towards the latter. I'll probably pick this somewhere down the line though. Still have to finish Origins anyways.

Thanks...hmmm six is a good number, can't wait to try them all out!
It's incredible besides the missing Invaded stages. I'm really happy with it.

I spent an hour playing the extreme challenge of the day haha, so addicting and I'm now #23 for the day B^)
Challenge mode doesn't work on Vita version. :-( Has said servers are unavailable all day. Very aggravating.
I disagree completely. IMHO the Murfy stuff adds a dimension to the game. It causes you to actually think about those areas of the levels differently which to me is very refreshing. What you are saying might be true on the other platforms (the sequences not seeming much different) but on the Wii U it really causes you to view the level in really a whole new light. I think the game is the better for them and if you have a Wii U it is unquestionably the version to get because of it. Worst case scenario is you don't agree with me that they are truly great, but I think that stupid gamespot review was the only one out there that actually found the Wii U versions of the Murfy stuff worse. Most everyone else finds it better to at least some degree.

Took delivery of the Vita and PS3 versions today. I think I prefer the PS3 version because I prefer to do the Murphy levels with buttons.
I guess I'm a total noob, because I've died a fair number of times in the first world alone, at least when I'm going for all the collectibles. People complaining the game is easy must be ninjas.
So far I think it's pretty great. On par with Origins for me.

Just got a vita today. I am soooooo tempted to pick up the full version of this. So tempted.
Tempted? Extremely.
I think I'm going to stick with the Wii U version though.
Yeah, I'm loving it on Vita.

Yeah, although the musical stages are licensed which means it would probably cost too much for a typical iOS game.
