Hmm, got the illegal downloaded version I guess? You better buy the real one too, you will support Oddworld, and you get a nice DVD too if I am right, and the box and booklet is also worth buying.

Hey ya'll,

Just want to say i got the game about a week ago and have to say i really enjoy it.

Either you're from the future, or you have a pirated copy. I'm thinking the latter is more plausible...so you are uncool in my book.

I will say it is deffently worth buying the game.

Well, I hope you take your own advice.

OWI worked hard on that game, and they deserve substantial profit. Playing a pirated game is stealing right from the developers pocket.

I agree very strongly with Oddguy. You are enjoying OWI's hard work, don't you think they desrve to be payed? They are a small creative company, and pirated games will kill them off, something nobody wants. Be honest, who wants to play 'Best freinds of cousins of step-parents of distant relations of the people who blew up Halo'? Publishers are clinging to sequals and tie-ins more and more, and if you don't support the few deveopers who are brave enough to be different yet enjoy the fruits of their labour, then sequals and tie-ins will be all we'll have left. I think I speak for most forumers when I say that I am not amused.

I hope you buy the real thing, for the sake of the future of games.

Downloading? Cheapskate. I'm having an american versin reformatted. But I payed for it did'nt I?

The Marching Mudokon 01-23-2005 03:04 PM

I agree with so many people here, BUY THE GAME! OWI worked hard and should be paid for their effoerts.

Fuzzle Guy 01-24-2005 12:06 AM

Let me guess, you got the pirate from Ebay. OWI have never worked so hard according to Novemeber mon5thly greeting on Oddworld.com, and then people buy a pirate.

Xavier 01-24-2005 04:14 AM

FG... the pirated version is available to download on the internet you know...

Oddish 01-24-2005 09:05 AM

2 -more-days-to-go :)

But 3rd March for rest of us. It's been like 3 years since our last odd game.

The Gungrave 01-25-2005 01:07 AM

Wasn't going to get involved in this one but it is a tad pathetic this whole "oooh, i got it first" syndrome! And downloading a game of which we know the level of passion involved in its creation? Tragic, really tragic.

MojoMan220 01-25-2005 04:27 AM

Only one day left! The time sure does fly. I hope the pirates don't hurt the sales too badly. Its fine that people don't want to support EA because there ruining the industry, but OWI is a small developer that is commited to making great games and not afraid to take chances.

buckminster 01-25-2005 05:24 AM

*Refreshing his browser to check on his order status at EA....* It better ship today at the very least. I'm sick and tired of seeing the Order Status as "ORDERED". :P

Fuzzle Guy 01-25-2005 07:29 AM

Tomorrow for you guys! Two Months for me, and then I probably have to wait another two weeks for it to come to the Isle of Man, but I preordered it off Amazon, so I don't have to wait that extra Manx two weeks

GrigtheSlig 01-25-2005 03:14 PM

My brother just went to get it! I can't wait! :cheer: This is gonna be great! We've all been waiting for about 3 years, and the time is finally here!

GrigtheSlig :crying:

Alcar 01-25-2005 05:24 PM

Lucky oddguy and you! Someone just has to scan some shots of the Instruction Manual, it's what I most look forward to when opening a game.

Dipstikk 01-25-2005 05:56 PM

Mine comes within two-four days, but I'm gonna get a second copy tommorow at Gamestop (That one I ordered a while back) and send it to a friend when the ordered version comes.

Oddish 01-26-2005 08:41 AM

Hooray for the USA! You finally got the game.

Leto 01-26-2005 01:13 PM

Boohoo for the rest of us poor bastards... :( What are you Americans doing on the forum? Get out to the nearest game store!

Flying Scrab 01-26-2005 03:54 PM

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY
 
YEEEAAHHHOOOOOO!!!!! I got it! Finally! Ok, so does that make me like number 3 or something?

MojoMan220 01-26-2005 04:29 PM

I got it too, I can't wait to play! It sucks that I didn't get the DVD, but who cares! I might write a mini review if I have a chance. I've got four straight days to play it without interuption... God bless America!!!!

Dualist 01-26-2005 06:03 PM

Eventhough I live in America, I still need some money to get the game.

I defeintly feel for the European and Austrailian guys here.

Thank you Dualist for your sympathy :p. I can't believe I have to wait 'til March.

_GrubHunter_ 01-27-2005 01:20 AM

Lucky Americans....:(

The Gungrave 01-27-2005 02:50 AM

All good things come to those that wait. Some peeps don't even have Xboxes so just count yerself lucky.

One quick request:

Would the moderators please ensure that all SPOILERS are moved to the correct area so as not to ruin the experience for the rest of the Oddworld masses, it'd be much apprecaited, thanks.

In the meantime: ENJOY DUDES!!!! (and dudettes)

Kimon 01-27-2005 04:44 AM

I got it yesterday I'm so physced! I played for about an hour then watched some of the DVD so I can draw out the experience. Oh man, so cool! :D

My condolences for you folks in the Eastern Hemisphere. :(

_GrubHunter_ 01-27-2005 05:51 AM

Thanks dude :(

Of course we will, Gungrave; that's one of our many important functions. :)

Incidentally, whose idea was it to have two European members who can't get the game until March, and who don't want to spoil the game for themselves to moderate the Spoiler Forum?

With the moderation of General Oddworld Discussion entails moderation of the Spoiler Forum. But if you and Xavier would rather relinquish that role, it could be done ;)
