thganks for the head up, i thought some guys on OWF said it wasnt an option?! |
Just came back from getting the game and DVD, and I am doing a little jig to celebrate.
I think it is time for us all to do a Oddworld dance! Get down with your funky self! Don't drink to much Mountian Dew or you will end up like me typing exclamations at the end of all your sentences! So listen to some of those funky Oddworld songs at a volume that would normally make your ears bleed, but do we care, I don't think sooooo! |
Hey, people who said "USA should get the product first, so stop your freakin' whining you other peeps without the product", should take a hint from the Black eyed peas song "Shut up". Too bad there wasn't a 'the hell' in the middle of those two words.
For one thing, the premiere of The Lord of the Rings, the very first one, was in the USA. Made in NZ. Yeah. Dont add salt to the wound... |
Guys, calm down. We don't need to start a skirmish of any size between anyone.
|
Sorry, just little outbursts of me.
Evil1 and paramiteabe, would you be saying such things if you weren't in a country that had OW: S? I bet you wouldn't... |
*cocks rifle*
why.... i like skirmishs ohh and by the way... EA and OWI are based in the USA so thats the main reason its released first in the usa |

Alcar... |
True.... very very true
i wonder when they will start working on hand of odd again.... |
*Looks at own previous post abot LOTR*
Ah, yeah. Just what I said... (Sorry, just a touchy subject, OW: S. The thought of someone playing it sickens me. *Eyes twitch* Aint I just selfish? :p) Speaking of which, isn't Hand Of Odd the fifth game? |
isint this a little off topic
hand of odd was halted the start of 2004 as far as i know it was about a third done and through several new articles i found it seems that A. they ARE working on it... just very very slowly and B. once they find a good format for the games HUD and when they work out which consle to make it for they will start working full force on it |
evil1, that is most definitely a non sequitor, but I am intrigued by what you say. Do you have any proof or evidence at hand, i.e. would you point everyone towards one or more of these articles?

I read a small article in one of my gaming magazines about the strategy Publishers use in releasing their games at different times.
It's one of the reasons why there are NTSC (?) and PAL versions - so the publishers can control the release in respective countrise. If everyone had the same version, then people could import. I don't know why they want separate releases. probably so their marketing teams are over-stretched. One could argue, though, that they should have individual marketing teams in each country... |
I would think that there are seperate NTSC and PAL versions because the TVs work differently in different countries. And that is partly because the US has a 60Hz electrical supply whilst Europe and Australia has 50Hz. Thus they must tweak the animations and whatnot to appear at a different framerate.

I just rented it.
So far it's pretty good, I love the style. My only gripe so far is that I want more story upfront in the beginning - I want to visit the doctor, not catch all these guys! |
That is one purdy game.
Pros: (there were more but I had to delete them 'cos of spoilers) Looks very nice, especially plants and flowers and whatnot. Chippunkz are cool and funny, not near as irritating as I thought they would be. There's lots of variety in the levels so far. Cons: Stranger moves like crap when he's swimming or jumping. There doesn't seem to be any repercussions if I harrass the Clukkers, they just forget about it straight away. That said, I haven't got very far in yet. It's HARD. Particularly for someone who's crap at FPSs. Bosses are particularly tough, trying to bring them in without killing them. I've only captured one (out of three) alive so far. |
Damn nabbit! Damn that nabbit to hell! I must wait another week, and everyone else has the game available in schtores. New Zealand sucks for sure, and I cannot be convinced otherwise.
No repercussions, you say, NDW? Damn. That was the one thing I hoped for/ expected. Oh well. Happy gaming, people. :) |
"Stranger moves like crap when he's swimming or jumping."
Without revealing anything, there is a pretty legit reason for why he moves like crap when swimming or jumping. And, yes, it does get better as you go along. |

But then, can you pay just pay a fine, and they will act like nothing happened? Pay a fine/ do something to redeem yourself?
