Rayman Origins

[Finch]

This game is somewhere between the best game ever and the worst game ever, but closer to the best game ever than it is to the worst game ever.

I agree with Finch, but I place it my game of the year, bar none.

Sorry you haven't taken to it, Compass. I kinda was hoping this game would bring the whole world together for world peace and sunshine. :/

Finch is correct, it is pure happy, not the greatest thing ever no, but it is happy.

And no Chao, it's not even close to game of the year.

[Finch]

It's kind of close!

And no Chao, it's not even close to game of the year.

I said it's my game of the year. sheesh.

You enjoy killing dragons and templars and stuff or whatever. I enjoy stepping on bad guys' heads and timing button presses oh so carefully to gain well-placed rewards.

If it had come out for SNES, we all would have forgotten about it by now. It's just not that fun to move around in this game. Donkey Kong Country Returns and NSMB Wii feel like sliding around your grandma's linoleum floor in your socks on Easter, which is what all the great ones feel like. Rayman feels like inching a mouse cursor on a sensitivity setting two notches below comfort toward the flashing Google IM popup from an unfamiliar name hoping it's a confession from the temp with red hair and perfect teeth who you only got to work with for a few sexually tense months confessing that her only regret in life is resisting her urge to ravage you in the janitor's closet, but knowing it's just spam.

Man, go crank one out. I'm sensing frustration.

[A Robot Bit Me]

I guess I feel a little better.

[icarusfall]

That's good medicine.

Anyone who doesn't like this game, doesn't like this game.

The game is terrific. Not my game of the year, but in the top 5.
