At least some of the defunct construction equipment was based on unused concept art for MO. That was kind of neat, but it's not something you notice right away.

What? Where?

Sekto Springs 04-05-2012 05:35 PM

Actually, it might have been Hand of Odd concept art. I don't know. I also don't remember exactly where they are. I think it's where you first find Thudslugs in that little valley on the way to the water treatment facility.

The yellow can-shaped harvester vehicle seen in the art book can be found, modified into a bulldozer, in the tutorial and Eugene Ius mission.

Oddysee : 94
Exoddus: 96
Munch: 80
Stranger's: 85.

I love giving out quick reveiws :tard:

Ratings like "out of 100" are incredibly dumb and pointless.

Crashpunk 04-06-2012 01:49 AM

Not really. It's like the 10/10 scores or 5 stars, They all have reasons behind them.
Metacritic rounds all the critics scores up to make one, definite score and gaming magazine (I'm taking the Official Nintendo Magazine as an example) go by this.

0-19% = Unplayable
20-49% = Poor
50-69% = Average
70-84% = Good
85-89% = Excellent
90+% = Outstanding (Gold Award)

It all makes sense.

Varrok 04-06-2012 01:57 AM

I mean, for one person reviewing, not for multiple reviews combined.

Wil 04-06-2012 02:10 AM

What rating would you prefer individuals give?

Wings of Fire 04-06-2012 02:25 AM

Qualitative ones.

Varrok 04-06-2012 02:25 AM

"Out of ten" sounds more reasonable... 88/100? Why not 87/100

EDIT:
Qualitative ones.

Wil 04-06-2012 02:26 AM

Because they thought it was better than that.

I think that post deserves a 46,3/100

Connell 04-06-2012 02:34 AM

It doesn't matter if 'out of 100' reviews suck. In this case we can clearly see the general consensus from fans is to avoid Munch's Oddysee, and give Stranger a try... and that Oddysee and Exoddus rock but we all knew that anyway.

Crashpunk 04-06-2012 02:43 AM

Don't avoid Munch's Oddysee! It isn't that bad!

Varrok 04-06-2012 02:51 AM

True, don't!

Wings of Fire 04-06-2012 02:53 AM

I plan to play Much when I run out of other things to do with my life.

Hopefully it's HD and better by then.

Connell 04-06-2012 05:33 AM

Avoid it. It's boring and shit. It's an awful Oddworld game because the atmosphere of the first two just isn't there, and it's an awful game in general because the controls, level designs and many other flaws just aren't up to scratch with modern gaming standards.

Michael 04-06-2012 05:34 AM

All opinions and reviews aside, if the OP was whether or not to buy original XBox copies of Munch and Stranger, I really don't see what the issue is in the first place.

I just checked quickly online on Amazon.co.uk. You can pick up used (but very good condition) copies of Stranger for less than two quid, and again very good used copies of Munch for under one pound (!).

If you really are an Oddworld fan, at those prices just buy them! If it turns out you don't like the games, what have you lost?

One pint of beer
A couple chocolate bars
A train ticket...

List could go on forever :p

Wings of Fire 04-06-2012 05:43 AM

woah

Train tickets cost a pound in Birmingham?

What the fuck?

Wil 04-06-2012 05:57 AM

Quantitative proof that there's nothing of any worth there.

Bullet Magnet 04-06-2012 09:07 AM

That would make sense if it were a ticket too Birmingham. One would have thought that the journey out would be ridiculously expensive.

That's why almost all critics rate things out of 10. Review aggregator sites (well, Metacritic at least) change it to 100 to avoid a lot of decimal point nonsense.

Hahahaha! I was adding the 2 pounds for Stranger and 1 pound for Munch! It's about 3 quid from Sutton where I live (about 6 miles away from the city centre) into the city centre itself, which is pretty damn expensive! On peak times, it's close to a fiver.
