Stranger's Wrath: The Back Button
 
Did you know that if you press the Xbox's "Back" button while playing Stranger's Wrath, it gives you a rundown of all your current bounties and items?! I never knew that before! I just tried it today and got a surprise!

Nate 09-26-2009 04:30 AM

Yes, I did.

Wil 09-26-2009 05:01 AM

Um. Yeah.

Zukan 09-26-2009 05:31 AM

Really? Whenever I press it I get access to the Wage Wars multiplayer beta. Huh, how strange.

Josh 09-26-2009 05:42 AM

Yeah, I think we ALL knew that.

Jordan 09-26-2009 06:32 AM

Not as shocked as I was when I saw this thread.

Xavier 09-26-2009 08:18 AM

RTFM... they are there for a reason you know.

Josh 09-26-2009 08:19 AM

Wait, people like the Clakkers!?

Sekto Springs 09-26-2009 12:10 PM

Oh sorry, I thought it read "Clangerz". You know those adorable little pink aarvark things from that old british television show.

Software Bug 09-26-2009 12:33 PM

Manual :)

MeechMunchie 09-26-2009 02:33 PM

I knew, and I've only played SW twice.

Sekto Springs 09-26-2009 02:47 PM

A much more interesting thing to note in SW is that the color of his undershirt changes throughout the course of the game.

AlexFili 09-26-2009 02:54 PM

Boilz and Blisterz Booty have the same profile picture, but one is flipped horizontally :p

Chalk this up to Silvio Aebischer's lazy production work for Stranger's Wrath. So many copy/pasted Outlaws...

If we was bigger we'd come out and punching your ass out sonny, now I'd come out there and beat ya myself but I got a back pain...

Bullet Magnet 09-27-2009 08:52 AM

I completed the game again just now. This time was weird, I never hated the Wolvarks before, but when they were attacking the grub village I was actually angry.

MA 09-27-2009 09:03 AM

i remember feeling that when i first did that. didn't really help seeing as i just wanted to go around punching the Wolvarks in the face instead of using the live ammunition.

i do start to come out with stupid phrases after the 47th death.

AlexFili 09-27-2009 09:11 AM

I remember not being able to beat the bazooka guys from the Water Plant at one point... as well as getting stuck in that MineCart boss because of a bad autosave.

OddjobAbe 09-27-2009 09:23 AM

I was always shit at the fight in the junkyard in Buzzarton. The rest of the game was a doddle.

MA 09-27-2009 09:34 AM

i cant believe i kept dying at the Water Facility when i first played it. not with the boss or the bazooka Outlaws, just with the Outlaw grunts once i got inside.

never actually fell into the fans though.

OddjobAbe 09-27-2009 09:37 AM

I always deliberately jumped into them when I got bored.

Sekto Springs 09-27-2009 11:11 AM

I remember that once on the Opple farm I cornered the father's daughters and pummeled the shit out of them with Zapflies. Because I caught them between me and the wall, they couldn't run into their little panic room, so I could pummel them as much as possible.

I think in one instance I successfully knocked one of the daughters out of the window and over to the giant Opple press where I promptly crushed her.

Bullet Magnet 09-27-2009 12:05 PM

I did that to the farmer himself. I thought I'd spare him roasting on the spit, but Meagly and his boys just used another clakker for the same purpose. I guess the butterfly effect makes fools of us all.

Wil 09-27-2009 01:51 PM

The logical follow-up experiment is to crush every Clakker.

AlexFili 09-27-2009 02:23 PM

Crushing clakkers is fun.

Fuzzle Guy 09-27-2009 02:25 PM

Not as fun as spit roasting them.

Tried that before, it doesn't work.
I'm guessing the real security guard showed up at the wrong time.

Just did that. Felt sick, yet hungry. Now waiting for the Meagly bounty.

AlexFili 09-28-2009 02:07 AM

There was a dead Clakker in the previous town (where Boilz/Blisterz tries to free his brother), perhaps that was the security guard?

Bullet Magnet 09-28-2009 02:09 AM

I would have thought "town" meant "Buzzarton," but the route there is less dangerous.

AlexFili 09-29-2009 06:01 AM

Two more random things;
1) Clakkers can actually kill you by shooting you to death.
2) Outlaws always struggle while you bag them (even if they're dead).

Also, on the Eugene Ius trail, you can pick up some treasure chests and some weird green-glowing gems! (These give you lots of moolah). You can find a Grubb Idol later on too!

Wil 09-29-2009 06:41 AM

There are treasure chests and gem-things all over the place. And Blisterz Booty doesn't struggle.

Bullet Magnet 09-29-2009 07:04 AM

Blisterz Booty is capable of a messiah-esque resurrection.

Josh 09-29-2009 07:20 AM

In a Grubb cave by the Mongo River, there are these orange crystall things that are worth some Moolah.

AlexFili 09-29-2009 08:45 AM

Good call. There is a fortune teller in almost every general store which is a trailer of the gameplay. Note that all the snowy landscapes only show first-person viewpoints? :D

Xx_Abe_xX 10-07-2009 06:22 AM

Why is the poll, "Do you like Clakkerz", and the topic about the back button in SW?

AlexFili 10-07-2009 06:32 AM

Good question.

abe is now! 10-07-2009 08:24 AM

I haven't got Stranger's Wrath.

That isn't really relevant is it?
