GenesisJames (Louiejub) and QubicTom Play Rayman! - FINALES - Vs Mr. Dark

Post by QubicTom »

By total coincidence, GenesisJames (known as Louiejub here on the talkhaus) and I were both planning to start Rayman Let's Plays on the exact same day! So we've decided to make this Rayman Hub thread to contain all the discussion in one convenient place! :D

Rayman is a colourful 2D platformer for the PlayStation that starts out happy and cheerful, then quickly becomes Nintendo Hard. I know more people who have quit the game in rage than have beaten it! Can we rescue all the Electoons from the evil Mr. Dark before the game controller smashes against the wall? Tune in to find out!

QubicTom's LP ------------------------------- | ------------------------- Louiejub's LP

Found a Rayman disc in the wild just now so I can play along with this series! All I need now is a PS1 so I can actually play it :P

Man, was the original really this slow?

Origins and Legends are way faster, even without running.

I am perfectly tasty...

I've started playing it. I managed to do the classic expert computer user and emulator veteran trick of using a savestate to save progress and then overwriting it the next time I loaded the game. It's quite good fun just now, except for the

rotating platform voyage

. It's a bit scary having limited lives, and I feel like I have to optimize my performance on each level. I really like the gimmicky levels (some of them would be great ported to smw). It does suck, though, having to beat the whole level again when finding the cages: What happens if I don't free all the little people?

It works well on epsxe (which can read the PS1 discs!)

Everyone should go subscribe to GensisJames, the commentary is really pleasant to listen to. I'd recommend his Spyro the Dragon LP as a first watch. I'm looking forward to seeing how our experiences differ, but I will play ahead of his videos so nothing becomes too easy for me!

Yep! I'll explain in tomorrow's video why I'm going straight into Band Land instead of completing The Dream Forest.

I'm going to get the running ability and maybe the helicopter ability, then start backtracking. This is the speedrunning route, just to do something different!

Please don't use save states, the game is famous for its limited lives, so suffer for the full experience :D You might now understand why I call certain obstacles in my LPs "Rayman platforming"! So I think you should find out for yourself what happens if you don't get all the cages, but I'll put the answer in a spoiler:

You can't access the final world without 100% of the cages! So you can only beat this game with 100% completion!

Yep, I'm subbed to GenesisJames (btw you might wanna fix that typo in the topic title). His LPs are very underappreciated.

Aaahhhh thank you for the love ;-;

But yes, it seems QubicTom and I are planning on going through this game a bit differently. I'm basically going to be completing each world as I go, getting whatever cages I can, and do a cleanup video or two at the end to get the cages that I missed. He seems to be getting some necessary abilities first and then coming back to finish the worlds. Should be interesting to see how this goes!

I had chosen to take the speedrunning route.... except I messed up, I was supposed to rush to the end of Dream Forest world for the upgrade (skipping the cages), then take the route I was thinking of! (which involves backtracking later with all of the upgrades). We are already having very different experiences :D

Episode 2 is out! And remember to come back tonight for James's counterpart! :)

Yeah, sorry about that, I had forgotten their names but this is corrected in an upcoming episode! I also misspelled "spiky" as "spikey" in the episode title. I've made too many mistakes today...!

I never posted today's episode, so here it is:
Ep4 - Spiky Fruit and Throwing Hoops

Looking forward to Louiejub's episode later today. We're only at the start of the game but we're already having different experiences. The next four episodes of my series are already uploaded to YouTube, so if anyone wants early access just PM me for the links!

Update: GenesisJames continues his trip through Band Land! Ep4 - Percussion Precaution

Loving it so far. There's a neat difference in styles that keeps it fresh even watching the same levels twice. I think taking different routes also helped.

Agreed! It's cool to see how many different experiences people can have when playing this game.

On a side note, Episode 5 came out today!

The music can be pretty good in this game! James and I, in spite of taking different routes, are going to be doing the same levels for the next few days. Spoiler for a future episode:

Somewhere in Picture City I lose all my lives. Yup.

Has there been any progress in solving the problem? Is it a local hardware issue, or something with the ISP? I've released my next two episodes, which means I've now caught up with you in terms of levels, but I can delay further releases until you're back up and running if you'd like!
