Will there be achievements on it too? If so, I'm definitely going to buy it. :)

Wil 12-10-2010 08:16 AM

There will be achievements for MO and SW, not AO or AE.

Hmm. Ok, thanks. I'm not sure whether I will buy it in that case. How much will it cost? (in £ of course).

How come there isn't going to be Achievements for AO and AE? didn't they say that they would be? :confused:

Manco 12-10-2010 02:37 PM

They did, but then they found out how incredibly difficult it was to add new things to AO and AE.

Or something like that.

Over in the UK its around £15. This is a excellent price for 4 games.

Thanks for the heads up! This has been reported on OddBlog.

Jordan 12-12-2010 04:23 PM

£15 is actually awesome!

Viper45 12-12-2010 10:04 PM

Wow, $24.99 is an amazing price. I sure hope they release this before December 20th. The 20th is the begining of Steam's huge holiday sale where they usually put nearly everything in their store on discount. The sale will most likely run through New Years. If the Oddbox is released during that sale, I think it could be easily overlooked and lose many of its initial sales.

YEEAAAH FUCK YEEAAAH

OH MY

Dynamithix 12-14-2010 10:30 AM

That's really cheap for 4 good games!

Gotta pick it up on Steam when it's released.

Dynamithix 12-14-2010 12:22 PM

A special holiday gift? Whoopee!

Varrok 12-14-2010 12:30 PM

It doesn't look like it's much cheaper for those who bought AO & AE earlier :<

STM 12-14-2010 12:32 PM

Now to nag my mum, and if she won't get it, guys, it would make my Christmas if you donated the game to my account! '-'

Scraby 12-14-2010 12:44 PM

i cant wait for it to come out,i already prepared the money :D

Jordan 12-14-2010 12:58 PM

This is getting more exciting. :D

abe619 12-14-2010 01:04 PM

Can't Wait To Have A Girl Fri......I Mean CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE STRANGER AND MUNCH ON MAH PC!!!

Viper45 12-14-2010 01:41 PM

It's kind of annoying that the price of Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath together is the same price as the entire Oddbox, but it's still a great price so I can't really complain. I was just hoping to save a little bit of money by only getting those two.

STM 12-14-2010 01:43 PM

Prepare my money Scraby ;)

Crashpunk 12-14-2010 02:35 PM

Oh so the OddBoxx is £19.99? That is a great value for money.

Varrok 12-14-2010 10:31 PM

If I bought all 4-game pack on steam, and have first 2, would I be able to gift it to someone?

I was just about to ask that myself.

And the MO wiki page needs some refreshing concerning the Oddbox release, if anyone is into that.
Already taken care of, my good man.
And WOOHOO! Perfect timing OWI! My friends and I are fired up for the Oddboxx...
... and come to think of it, I really don't know if I should just get MO and SW or get the whole Oddboxx (plus potential gift) for the same price. I guess it'll depend on whether or not my mum wants to play the full PC version of Abe's Oddysee whenever or if she'd prefer to play the original on the PSone again sometime... ack! I'm rambling!

I'll just get the whole collection. :)

This is based on third-hand knowledge, so don't quote me on it, but I believe that you can't split up a game pack in to its parts and gift them seperately. You might be able to gift your existing copies of AO and AE though. Not sure.

We won't know until the pack is released, or until we get some official news that clears that up. Chances are you won't be able to gift your extra copies. That's how it usually works on Steam, but there are some packs that do let you gift your extra copies.

So most likely you won't be able to gift them, but there is still a chance they'll allow it.

Varrok 12-15-2010 01:53 PM

I suggest not to get used to that prices... At least not to € ones - The price for AO/AE on Steam is NOT €4.99 (as said on oddworld.com news)

Fred The Fuzzle 12-15-2010 03:04 PM

Well that's gay for people who've already bought AO & AE, we have to pay the same price for MO & SW or the entire pack, which I gather Valve won't let us Gift to friends.

Wil 12-15-2010 05:41 PM

Shut up complaining, it's still an awesome deal.

Sanssouci 12-15-2010 05:51 PM

God i hope the MO and SW ports are good. I'll be so disappointed if they're shoddy or buggy, but I understand Xbox -> PC to be an easier process than most other platform ports. Here's to optimism.

I'm sorry I don't want to waste the $25 I spent on the original pack.

ColgateCat 12-16-2010 08:47 AM

why the euro prices are so high? it's not like that the dollar has the same value of the euro

I don't think anyone will know... it might be better to contact Steam directly, if you haven't done so yet.

Viper45 12-16-2010 01:33 PM

At some point during checkout it will notify you if the games won't be giftable. It'll have AO and AE marked somehow and have a notice somewhere on the checkout page that says you already own these games and will not receive additional licenses for them. Just pay attention during checkout, and if you see that there, you'll know you can't gift them.

Feel sorry for Australians, for the past ten years games have double the price of US, yet our dollar has been roughly the same (We were higher about a month ago).
