OANST 01-26-2005 08:14 AM

I tried to pick my copy up but the shipment wasn't in yet.

MojoMan220 01-26-2005 08:18 AM

Thanks for the scans, but there is already a topic on this. BTW, where is the OWI logo on the box? Those greedy bastards at EA must not have thought there logo was big enough! I'm very jealous.

jou lucky americans:p

Godlesswanderer 01-26-2005 11:36 AM

You lucky bastards. You lucky, lucky bastards...

Biggy Bro Slig 01-26-2005 11:47 AM

That's the problem, America and places like that always get it first.
They never even thought about releasing it in Europe.

*froths at the mouth*
RAAAAAAAR!!!!!! Die evil EA people! Die die die! Raaaaaaaaaaar!!!! :chairhit:

You lucky little....duck. You lucky Americans you. That Oddworld In habitants logo disk is funky.

Mod's? Merge this thread?

Oddish 01-26-2005 12:06 PM

Why isn't oddworld's logo on there? its made by them.:fuzconf:

Esus 01-26-2005 12:07 PM

I wanna read the manual :(
Is the manual in colour, like their previous games?

MudokonMan478 01-26-2005 01:04 PM

grrrrrr your lucky i wont get mine for a while

Disgruntled Intern 01-26-2005 01:11 PM

No, the manual is in black and white.

Fantastic game, though. I'm loving the strategic aspect of bagging the bounties.

Oh, and the lush environments, and sound...Hell, I just love the game period.

I'm fairly disapointed with the voice acting though. In past games it's been tolerable, hell, even enjoyable...But the Clakkerz stereotypical southern drawl does nothing for me...Nor does stranger's lack of intelligence.

I do like his character animations though...Very smoothe, they are.

Kudos to you, Lorne!

SeaRex 01-26-2005 02:13 PM

Better than MO, you say?

Hot damn! I'm buying this one.

Flying Scrab 01-26-2005 03:59 PM

Yeah, this one is infinitley better than MO. Then again, I didn't even really like MO cos the regular graphics are just decent. But the cutscenes are incredibly smooth like always. Anyway, definitley buy Stranger's Wrath...now :fuzsmile:

No, the manual is in black and white.

You have to be kidding. That's what I enjoy most about opening a game. I'm glad you like it Disgruntled, I'd say you'd be a tough critic, so Oddworld must have done something right :)

Alcar...

Disgruntled Intern 01-26-2005 06:43 PM

Oh, believe me, I have plenty of gripes...But the game is enjoyable and challenging enough to temporarily put them out of my mind.

As far as the manual is concerned, it seems that more and more games are taking the black and white route these days....Which sucks. Like you, I enjoy reading the instruction manual immediately; but when it's in black and white it feels cheap, and somehow less important.

This game is nothing like MO, however, and comparing the two is like comparing opples and oranges.

erwinraaben55 01-27-2005 06:45 AM

You know what the problem is?? Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Sweden. All of you people LEARN TO READ ENGLISH, AND SAY THAT YOU ONLY PLAY THE GAMES IN ENLISH LANGUAGE. Maybe one day we will also just have a standard language for the games, so that America and Europe will have the same release dates.

But on the other hand, we always get the latest version: know bugs are taken out, sometimes we get extra's (mgs for example) etc. It has it's pro's, but there are more cons sadly.

Cyber-Slig 01-27-2005 07:25 AM

It is a dumb idea to release it in USA first. For a start there are far more people in Europe. Therefore more buyers. The more money the faster it is released in USA. Then everyones happy.

sligster 01-27-2005 08:11 AM

I wanted to get it yesterday, but my EB games doesn't have it in yet........

paramiteabe 01-27-2005 08:58 AM

Stop gripeing on who is getting the game first. For one It makes logical sense that a US made product should be sold in the US first.

I love the game I picked mine up at 1:30 yesturday. Got home and spent all evening playing the game. I have to say this game is awesome. I mean the moment you start playing, the levels are so lush and massive. I am glad there is no spooce shrubs everywhere. It really does bring back the old Oddworld look to the landscape in many ways. It took me a little bit to get used to switching batween third person and first person mode and controling the live Ammo but I now have the hang of it. You see I was so used to the Munch controls that it sort of threw me back when I jumped into the game. X is gamespeak and pretty much the controls are slightly different then previous Oddworld games.

That is a minor throw back I have on this game aswell maybe to much dialog boxes poping up every now and then. Other than that the game overall surpasses Munch by a whole lot.

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

evil1 01-27-2005 09:14 AM

he has a point
so stop griping about not getting a product made from a diffrent country first

Leeum 01-27-2005 09:47 AM

The game will be here soon. It's in the US because EA Games are corporate trash and are based there, it's the same with most games, Japan and the USA get them first.

buckminster 01-27-2005 11:50 AM

Mine should be arriving in the next few hours. Nice that with the EA Store preorder I got free two day shipping as well as the bonus DVD for the same price as if I were buying it in the store. *Watching the clock tick, looking out front door for delivery van, repeats...*

Mudokon Princess 01-27-2005 01:17 PM

THIS GAME IS THE BEST GAME EVER! I honestly think this is an awesome approach for Oddworld! I hope they make another Stranger game (and of course continue the quintology;)). Dude this game could kick Halo's arse ^_^

ANN NEELY 01-27-2005 02:31 PM

Ah, yes, it's an incredible game, all right. I wake up at 5:30 every mornin' now to play it! :p
My 5-year old sister will only let me play it for 2 1/2 hours, though. She can't stand a single day without her stupid Kirby Air Ride game... :chairhit: *Killz Kirby* :chairhit:

buckminster 01-27-2005 02:46 PM

Hrm, I didn't get the bonus DVD... I can't imagine that they're already out of them. Hopefully with a courteous e-mail from me they'll see the error in their ways and send it. :banghead:

oddguy 01-27-2005 03:23 PM

This game is amazing. I love Live Ammo, and the ability to switch back and forth between first and third person perspectives is awesome. And what a challenge to bring in all the bosses in alive...it's extremely rewarding.

Love love love it! :love: :cheer:

Oh, believe me, I have plenty of gripes...

Sure, you can see shadows from the other side of a wall...and my camera got stuck once or twice. Here's the thing though, I seriously think Halo 2 had more glitches, but people still say it's the best game ever because it's so darn popular.

Dualist 01-27-2005 04:53 PM

Halo 2 can go to hell. OSW seriously just tops Halo 2 in my opinion.

Gripes? Not a one for me, even if you see shadows from the other side of the wall it does not bother me.

SeaRex 01-27-2005 06:33 PM

I went out and bought it today. It's pretty good.

The sound in the game (including the scratchy, over-compressed voice acting) is terrible. I don't care much for the shadow "clipping" either.

However, besides those two things, I don't have many problems with it. The humor is good, the gameplay is great (I love hunting down enemies and ammo), and for the first time since AE, Oddworld feels like Oddworld again. The atmosphere is superb. Some of the best scenery on the Xbox, even.

So, yeah, pretty good game. Huzzah! Reconciliation for MO, to say the least.

Damnit. I almost caught Boilz Booty alive. SO close. I had to kill him because I couldn't take any more hits. Oh well.

Dualist 01-27-2005 07:06 PM

Did you buy the game without a pre-order?
