I don't see any reason why we shouldn't.

Paul_hibs3 11-09-2011 03:01 PM

Bought. Kinda useless product, costume quite cool but again useless, but I feel like I'm trying to fund OWI as a charity to bring back oddworld so I'm hoping that my £1.59 made a difference haha. Clown post I know but meh my opinion haha.

Crashpunk 11-09-2011 03:33 PM

Every little helps I guess :)

What's your cut off point for useless? Once you bring into question the usefulness of a purely aesthetic purchases for a computer game, you call into question the usefulness of TF2 hats, DLC, Updates, Games themselves, jewellery, cats, skateboards, art, lager, space exploration, photoshop, fashion, advertising, clowns, or even novelty ties.

Most things that exist are useful on some level ;)

(the comma between advertising and clowns is optional)

I don't think anybody's defending the usefulness of TF2 hats.

Give us one anyway.

Glitch sit doon and calm doon as we say in Scotland haha. All I'm saying is its that its a costume and thats it, I didn't expect anything more. I'm not trying to slate it at all. I ain't into the whole TF2 hats thing but some people are and I would say that this LBP2 costume falls into that category. The costume is cool, but I bought it to help oddworld. Btw your right though lager is useless and might I add rank. Guinness is the Don of drink:p

mr.odd 11-10-2011 02:15 PM

Does the crossbow shoot(like the paintball guns from LBP1) or is it just for looks?

Phylum 11-10-2011 08:53 PM

It's a costume. It is all for looks.

I wasn't angry (althought looking at it I did sort of come off that way), I was just musing on the usefulness of things. As a designer of inherently useless stuff I feel it's important to note that most things are useless in western society. It's the useless stuff that make life more fun.

Hazel-Rah 11-15-2011 09:33 PM

OMG I would buy a Glukkon one in a second; not sure how you would slap people with your arms under your suit though. Maybe now the LBP community will start making more Oddworld themed levels.

Scraby 11-28-2011 09:55 AM

idk if somebody already posted but lbp 2 will get munch also

Haha, looks cool but idk if it looks official, it doesn't look very sack-boyesque. Just because it has a zip, there's not stitching or anything.

Scraby 11-28-2011 10:47 AM

it is official,i looked at their facebook site.

Wil 11-28-2011 11:09 AM

It is perfectly official:

Wow, well in that case I apologise for ever doubting you Mike.

Dynamithix 11-28-2011 12:52 PM

Haha, looks neat.

Burn it! Burn it with fire!

Sekto Springs 11-28-2011 03:15 PM

I'm with Nate. It looks kind of horrifying.

Mr. Bungle 11-28-2011 03:40 PM

Sack Stranger looks awesome. I'm not a fan of Little Big Planet, but I appreciate what they're doing here.

A Munch sackboy would just be terrifying.

Scraby 11-28-2011 08:54 PM

something is just not right about his mouth.... but i dont know what.

Sekto Springs 11-28-2011 09:46 PM

It's a two-part "mask". You can see the round sackboy head underneath.

Michael 11-29-2011 10:40 AM

These are awesome! Especially like the Munch one :D

Back in the Summer I started remaking Abe's Oddysee in LBP2, and it was going great! It had gamespeak on all the correct buttons (thanks to being able to record my voice and lots of circuits), Sackbot Mudokons with emotions and speech, that could reply and follow you when told, wait, etc. Even had Abe's fart and made the Muds run away if you were too close at the time, or laugh if you were far away, just like AE :p

Waste of time in a way because I never made any more of the level. Maybe I'll get back to it someday!

MeechMunchie 11-29-2011 10:46 AM

Munch is supposed to be ugly anyway. I don't know why everyone is so horrified.

Bullet Magnet 11-29-2011 12:02 PM

They're one slurg costume away from me buying a PS3.

Crashpunk 11-29-2011 01:29 PM

Well thats got me worried about the Abe one. The munch one is horrid.

Phylum 11-29-2011 11:17 PM

Abe will better suit the Sackboy physique.

Mudokon_Master 11-30-2011 01:10 AM

Am I the only one who thinks it's cute?

Nath 11-30-2011 01:34 AM

I've never played LBP. What are the point of these costumes? Do they have any benefit to the character or game? Does sack boy take on the characteristics of these characters?

Wil 11-30-2011 01:41 AM

No, it's just vanity.

Xavier 12-02-2011 05:31 AM

I'm waiting for an Abe sackboy and the three costumes to be bundles in one pack. :p
