Favourite area look in AO/AE?
 

One of the best things about AO and AE was the graphics. The style of each zone was perfect, and the backgrounds were works of art. So which area do you think had the best 'look'? For me it have to be either the ramshackle military look of the Slig Barracks or the decaying jungle of Necrum.

EDIT: Wow, it took me so long to type all 15 areas into a poll that I couldn't add it.

Slig Barracks is instantly lovable. The tent & sandbags look is quite cool. I love all the high-tech decorations and equipment... just thinking about it now wants me to go back there :D

Rupture Farms looks quite nice, in my opinion, the Paramite and Scrab areas of AO were a bit too cluttered for me, maybe that's why I like the look of the Necrum Creature areas more. AE just has so much variety in decoration that it really makes me wonder how long it took to make it all :D

Some indoor environments in Munch's Oddysee make me smile as well, like the Sloghuts and the place with the Big Bros on pillars. Stranger's Wrath is just like one massive map. I love the look of the grass along with the houses... it's very atmospheric!

I love Necrum, the awesome looking palm trees, the old temple ruins in the background, and don't forget the orange tint. I think they designed it beautifully. I also like Slig Barracks and the Monsaic Lines.

What Jordan said (only with RuptureFarms, FeeCo and Soulstorm Brewery). Actually, I'd also like to add Bonewerks.

EDIT: Plus Scrabania and Paramonia. Thanks for reminding me, WoF.

Scrabania

Necrum, Scrabania and Paramonia. I love native architecture and unspoilt wilds.

Scrabania, Rupturefarms, and Soulstorm Brewery in that order.

Scrabania actually looks like a desert, and it makes me happy that it's easy to tell. Paramonia is obviously some type of forest area, but i had to be told what type of environment it was before I actually "saw" the environment. For this reason I'm not too impressed with the look of the area.

Rupturefarms is so diverse and yet not. The different colors of the zulags and a different backdrop to every screen appeals greatly to me, and I wish Necrum Mines or Soulstorm Brewery had done something similar. :(

Soulstorm Brewery I like because of all the barrels and random pits of death/falls from deadly heights. Not sure why though.

I love the Monsaic lines; especially the exotic vegetation and the massive sculptures. I used to love the transitional FMVs where the camera would zoom through the landscape.

I forgot to say "Monsaic Lines".

Scrabania and Paramonia. To me they just have a feeling of 'what's out there?' and they both simply look amazing. They're as amazing as a bacon pie made from beef. Did that similie make sense?
Anyways. This is a bit off topic but I think MOs landscape design was somewhat poor.
In facilities it was ok but outside could of been alot better, instead of the same old grass n' cliffs, with no sceneary in the distance.

Well to be fair, some of the teaser videos for MO showed much better landscapes. I still think all of the factories in 3D look pretty cool. The Vykker's ship has an interesting design to it, especially the living quarters.

I can't deside :(

Woaw, I love so many levels in AO/AE... :fuzgrin: In AO my favourites are Monsaic Lines, Stockyards, Scrabania and Paramonia: they've got everything for them: wonderful backgrounds, amazing music and the design is just perfect.

Scrabania, RuptureFarms, parts of the Stockyard...erm...FeeCo Depot, Slig Barracks, SoulStorm Brewery.
Get to Munch's Oddysee and you'll see me not minding Splinterz, Magog Motors and the Mudokon Fortress

I forgot to say "Slig Barracks".

So many....umm, Scrabania, Paramonia, Necrum, Necrum Mines, Feeco, the Brewery, Monsiac Lines, and the Stockyards. I love all the executive offices too. I guess I like Scrabania the most.

the stockyards
 

i loved the stockyards of AO they were just so dark and made you wonder why is there a dead mudokon hanging from a stick:fuzconf:

everything...............

Freel free to elaborate, by all means.

Soulstorm Brew and the Stockyards. The Stockyards in AO have a dark feeling to them. Combined with the sound and the horror of being killed by Scrabs, the Stockyards look and feel amazing. Soulstorm just looks cool.

"Don't think, DRINK!!"

Still a big fan of the Stockyards and FeeCo Depot

Rupture Farms, Free-Fire zone, the bombing range in Slig Barracks and the quiet areas of Scrabania.

i cant stand Necrum mines and i'm not keen on Necrum.

AO: <3 Paramonia & Scrabania <3
AE: <3 Necrum <3

I love:

Rupture Farms Zulag 3 (the purple one)
Scarabainia / Paramonia

Necrum
Feeco (the music matches it TOO well)
Bonewerkz in some wierd way

I dont really like Slig Barraks, don't know why

by the way, is Free Fire zone, Stockyard Escape but on your way back?

The Stockyards is the bit that looks like Rupturefarms but has cages with Scrabs in. The Free-fire Zone is the silloetted bit with the campfires.

I have always really liked the natural environments like Scrabania and Paramonia, specifically Scrabania because I have a soft spot for deserts.

Necrum is pretty spiffy, too. I also liked the Slig Barracks, it had such appropriate music. The Mudomo and Mudanchee vaults are pretty nice, too, but I prefer Scrabania and Paramonia.

For the more industrial areas, RuptureFarms is great. Love all the bloodsplatters.

i always like playing in the mines,rupture farms and also in necrum. It has a real eery feel to it.

i will remember necrum fo the rest of my life, expecially the first bit where you need to open 4 story stones and theres a lift, god knows why, also the music for that is great, whoever made the music i give tremendous credit to them

My faves are necrum vaults (scrab vault and paramite vault), slig barracks, and soulstorm mines.

scrabanian or rupturefarms

For the ninetieth time, the Free-Fire Zone and the Stockyards. I don't think anything evokes the kind of lonely and desolate and kind of "searching for oneself" atmosphere in the game better than that.
Everything in that game is beautiful, though.

As for AE (don't kill me), I felt a little less. It often seemed to me that the environments there were more repetitive and a little less real-looking. Bonewerkz just looked very barren, and I found the endless walls of barrels in SoulStorm Brewery a bit uncreative. I did like Necrum, though it seemed that something was missing.

I thought every bit of Necrum was perfect, I want to go there its so good, how much you reckon it will cost?

A time-space warping machine, and, possibly, sanity.

It's between Necrum and Scrabania for me

Scrabania, Slig Barracks, Monsaic Lines, Necrum Burial grounds and Paramonia.

I liked all the areas, but the Stockyards is definately one of my favs. Those colors are amazing and make me want to play it again just to see them shining out in the background. Rupture Farms is the first real area you see, so it has a certain significance that makes me love it. Slig Barracks was always one of my favourite places, and every time I play it, I like it even more. All those little sligs out in the distance shooting at me really do the trick. Not to mention the brewery which gave the feeling of imposing as it's the last part. Necrum had such enjoyable music and those bird sound really creep me out in a very subtle way. Those fleeches made it all the better. Then of course there is Paramonia, which made me want to build a summer house just for the view. Scrabania, which I hated yet loved, charmed with music and those rocky sculptures. Those are the best areas for me. The others are not bad, but not quite great enough to be a favourite for me.:D
