You obviously haven't played Rayman Legends. Second favorite is Littlebigplanet 2. I'm still pissed nothing else comes close on PS4.

I haven't played Rayman Legends but I want to, Rayman Origins on the Wii was great.

Unfortunately Ubisoft are a terrible company no one should be supporting right now.

Rayman Legends is even better than Origins, but the best thing is that it actually contains all the Origins levels slightly reworked so you get two games in one. I was playing it for months. Not only the most fun and varied arcade on PS4, but also huge! I don't understand why they don't make hundreds of games like that instead of all this retro-pixelized bull****!

I imagine games with hand drawn animation and artwork are a lot harder to do especially if you only have a small budget and I happen to love that retro-pixelized bull**** think you very much.

And no I don't use Glitchwave, I find their rankings and reviews to be pretty bogus for the most part, to be fair it's still in the beta stage and has a really small userbase, mostly people from RYM which is a community I also hate lol.

I use GameFAQs but only for their rankings, I advise everybody to stay as far away from their message boards as possile.

Literally anything is better than MetaCritic though, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

The rankings are so bogus thank you for pointing that out, like how is the controller killer games so high up like you can't be getting that much fun out of a game that makes you want to rage so much (Bloodbourne, Cuphead, Dark Souls, etc.)

Those are great games though - and provide a satisfying challenge. I never get so angry anymore that I'm gonna chuck a controller.

All easier than Frogger Beyond.

Oh yes that is true to my knowledge, never played much of the modern ones but Frogger Beyond led to much misery in my younger years.

Tristan_Geoff · 02-06-2022, 08:35 PM

But at least the environments and enemies are pretty cool lookin

That ****ing fire dragon boss that shoots fireballs man....that was torture as a kid. I watched a video on how you actually beat the ****er now that I'm older - and the fact that they designed it that way....in a ****ing game targeted to kids STILL pisses me off!

That isn't my problem, I like challenging arcade style games and Cuphead is high on my wishlist (been waiting for that last DLC to drop before I get it though), my issue is their overwelming biases towards and against certain genres, eras and platforms and their reviews are pretty bad.

RYM has the same problem with it's music and movie ratings so it's to be expected, that whole community is infested with obnoxious trolls.
