Heh, glad to see I'm not the only one who was rather taken by the handheld charm of the Oddworld Adventures games, about a year and a half since I was last on here. Though I don't think they'd get a re-release any time soon as I don't think they were as well recieved as their console counterparts.


Also, MO HD was revealed to be getting its release over the next few months, as they said at Euroamer Expo, with trialling for the PS3 version hapening this month. Very excellent indeed.

Marlz... I was joking.

I really don't think porting gameboy games is JAW's top priority...

Haha, of course... although, bundling them together as a smaller future project would be rather nifty, joke or otherwise. Yes, I liked those games, shush.

Er, I mean, shiny MO HD! Yes, cannot wait. I'll admit, I haven't had much time to actually play MO myself since buying it, which is a real shame, but I'm making the effort to finish it before it HD-ifies. And I love it, pure and simple, only problems I've had have been due to my problematic controller... as well as adjusting to the more strategy oriented combat.

No, it isn't.
You're lucky.

MO is fun.

For 5 minutes, and fun is all it has. For 5 minutes.

I thought MO was awesome. Try to convince me otherwise. :3

I think I would of liked MO more if it was on PS2...

For the longest time I only had the GBA version.
By comparison, it's marvelous, and even without comparison, it's great. It exceeded all expectations, especially for an Xbox launch title. (and despite apparently having had tons of content that never ended up making it in)
Sure, it doesn't hold a candle to AO or AE, but as the next Quintology entry and the first 3D Oddworld game, it does the series much justice. Everything about the mechanics of Abe's first two games transitioned into the next dimension in a way that kept the same feel and enjoyment, but molded it to the new setup. And Munch is a very welcome new Inhabitant and hero. Say what you want Nep, I'm loving it and my opinion is unlikely to change. ^^

Oh crud yes... so glad for the Oddbox because of that, single platform shenanigans.

You've just reminded me that MO GBA is the only Oddworld game I haven't played. :O

B-B-BBB-BULLSHIT! My undying hatred for MO only grows stronger...
^-^
Crash, considering how bad the Xbox version WAS, are you really expecting something more from a GBA version?

If you liked the console version and enjoyed the Oddworld Adventures games, it's definitely worth a look. Potential blind LP? :D

I just said I've never played it. I never said my expectations of it.

That's actually not a bad idea :)

Nep, it's widely accepted these days that MO isn't bad unless compared to the fan hype. I don't care how much you hated it, stop ramming it down our throats. This isn't the Diablo 3 forum.

The GBA version of MO was actually really bland. I played most of it, but it just got boring. I don't imagine an LP would be particularly entertaining to watch. If you want to gain entry to the real fanforum by completing all of the games then it might just be worth doing.

Is it really? I think you're sorely mistaken. I was under the impression that it is still widely accepted the game is atrocious, fan hype or not. Like i've said before, even if it wasn't an Abe game and it had nothing to live up to... it'd still be bad. Bad graphics, bad controls bad gameplay, bad everything.

Who cares if it wasn't as good as AO or AE, it's not even as good as Home Alone 4, and that's not being too harsh. If you replaced all the sprites and disassociated it with Abe it'd still be critically panned.

I will not hear anyone defend that game because there is no reason to. I love the Oddworld franchise as much as the next fella, but they fucked that one up bad, it needs to be the deformed brother they keep in the attic. You can polish a turd but it's still a turd at the end of the day my friends.

And now I remember why I stopped coming to the forums for so long... why are people so opinionated?
Opinion =/= fact, it's your own thoughts and feelings in regards to something. Don't try to force it on people who legitimately enjoy something.
I like the game, I thought it was a good risk OWI took, and that's my opinion. I'm not forcing it on anyone, if you hate it you hate it... but don't say it's a fact that it's outright awful when people actually enjoy it.
And yes, my standpoint on liking MO extends to the GBA version too, as hit and miss as it is. Again, my opinion, something I'm totally entitled to.

I agree with Phylum. Stop ramming it down people's throats. I think everyone understands the general opinion on Munch's Oddysee, we do not need to keep hearing it. For fuck's sake.

Exactly, thankyou. We're here to talk about the positives and deviate to criticize to an acceptable degree. ^^

Let's just hope they don't ruin the game even more when they HDfy it, like Silent Hill did.

Silent Hill ruined Munch's Oddysee?

You didn't know?

I don't know much, it seems.

Yeah! With it's so called "quality".

No, what I meant was...
Fuck it, you knew what I meant!

Yeah, we don't like them quality here!

You misunderstand.

no u

Being off-topic is only worth it when you're being amusing. You're all being tiresomely boring. On topic or GTFO.

Isn't this topic resolved? I mean that MO HD will come on PC

Then there's no call to post in it.
