Favorite area in Stranger!
 
Well since this is for those who is so far playing the game what by far is your favorite area and describe it?

Mine of course are the sewers of Buzzerton when you first encounter the slegs. That place is so frightening it almost startled me when I encountered my first sleg. Well it took me on surprise and boom it lashed out at me. Mann I loved that level. I am almost finnished in Buzzerton and have a long way to go still but I am takeing my time and enjoy everything it has to offer.

My favorite area is the Wolvark Docks. The landscape looks so beautiful and gigantic.

hmmm... That last section... wow.

Last Leg (cant remember how it's spelled) was pretty crazy too.

Or perhaps the section right after you find out...

I really liked the forest right before New Yolk City. It was lush and scenic and really nice to look at. It was cool seeing those two weird birds in the very beginning of it, and the rock art on the big boulders was cool.

I also liked the parts to either side of the Skycab Station just outside of New Yolk City. Those places were really full of vegetation, and it was cool to travel alongside the river in either place.

Storming the beach in the beginning of Last Legs was fun to play, although it got pretty tough for me towards the end of that area. It was refreshing to see a snow area on Oddworld.

And the Grub villiage [near Wolvark Docks I think] was also pretty cool. I spent fifteen minutes just following the Grubs around and watching them talk to each other.

Sekto dams. It's ginnormous.

Seconded. I mean, that landscape rivaled stuff from the Myst/Riven series. Even with snipers breathing down your neck, it was a really gorgeous place.

Also, Last Legs. Mock up of Normandy. Enough said.

Lastly, the underwater lake you travel through to get to Sekto Springs. Just rowing down that lush cavern seemed like a CG movie even though you were actually playing.

An underwater lake? How does a one of those work?

EDIT: Apparently there are underwater lakes. They're bodies of fresh water that sit below bodies of sea water. But I'm still betting you meant an underground lake. ;)

MojoMan220 02-01-2005 11:02 AM

It's actually just a cave that the river flows through, its not underwater.

Volsung 02-01-2005 06:00 PM

I think I most enjoyed the cave with the waterfall. Its somewhere in the mongo wilds, or when you're getting to it. And those cool glowing mushrooms. Excellent.

And I really really enjoyed rowing the boat around. I'm not sure why. It was just fun for me. I only wish it had played a larger role in the game.

SeaRex 02-01-2005 06:34 PM

Whatever people. I posted that at like... six in the morning. Get off my back. :p

Anywho, I was just using that to describe the general area. You all knew what I meant, you literal bastards!

Wil 02-05-2005 11:32 AM

Don't worry, SeaRex, you inadvertantly tought me a new geographical feature, so I am grateful. :p

I liked the first opertunty they gave Stranger to run-gllop in shallow water. And the first opertunty they gave him to run free in day light.
I love playing a centaur type creature it felt so visreral.

Steef1o1 02-09-2005 04:25 PM

My favorite was when you get De-pantsed and you are running from clakerz and outlaws.

Kimon 02-10-2005 03:54 AM

I personally liked the destroyed Grubb Temple (the one with the Steef statue).

Mudokon Princess 02-10-2005 09:47 AM

Same here Steef1o1...I also liked the area where you are running from clakkerz and outlaws after Stranger is depantsed.

Abe16 02-10-2005 11:35 AM

I like it when your trieing to get lastlegs!So cool! :fuzwink:

ANGRY ELEPHANT 08-15-2006 04:11 PM

I too liked when you have to run from the Clakkerz when Stranger gets depantsed.

Nate 08-15-2006 05:39 PM

Angry Elephant please don't revive threads from a year and a half ago unless you are going to add something constructive.

Luskan 08-17-2006 04:33 AM

i really liked the dark sewers of buzzarton. the music's really cool and it just goes to show oddworld make great music.

Kamille 08-17-2006 07:59 PM

Last legs was great, I liked almost all of the areas in that game but it was to short.

Nate 08-17-2006 09:01 PM

Last Legs was the best-looking level (and one of the best layed-out) in my estimation but it was probably the toughest one to complete. Took me ages.

Especially that part before the door to the Grubbs, where that shocker orb-thing makes its first appearance. One of the toughest parts, next to the Glocktigi duo at Sekto's.

One of my favourites is the Grubb siege, when you're out in the open and you can hear Grubbs shouting "Catapults! Fire!". And you just hope that the rock won't hit you.

Travelling with the boat was also fun. It helped me a lot, even if I wasn't sitting in the boat. One of the Wolvarks at the Sekto Springs entrance got in its range when I was shotting at him. The boat did the rest.

Bonedust 08-18-2006 01:39 PM

I liked the mongo river after the depantsing when you are on the boat sinking the barges.

Dark Elite_H2 08-18-2006 04:30 PM

I loved the Grubb Graveyard, the Trailer park, and the Water Facility. I didn't particularily like the part when you have to go after Freely.

Xavier 08-18-2006 11:41 PM

Wolvark docks was a lot of fun :)
I just love blasting those wolvarks off

ziggy 08-19-2006 12:22 AM

heh, the wolvarks are funny.

I like the things they say, like I remember one say, "I'm too purdy to die!"

I think a lot of ppl would disagree...

Matriar 08-20-2006 12:51 AM

Hmm... McGee's area, the natives village, last leg. And I like that moment of the hurry and the weather when you are in Dusky Hollow too.

Creepy Doc 08-20-2006 08:09 AM

Wolvark Docks! For Sure.
I also liked it to hear the comments of these wolvarks when I attacked them :lol:. So funny.

Matriar 08-20-2006 08:17 AM

"I'm just too purdy to die!" :lol: :lol:

Bullet Magnet 08-20-2006 09:08 AM

I loved all the places where you could see the Grubb's art on te rocks, depicting their recent history. I also remember the first time I saw the birds in the forest... I remembered them from the Art book, but I never knew that they were included in a game.

One thing that irritated me about the environments was that you never see Abe's moon in the sky. That would have ben the cherry on top of the already excessive icing on Stranger's Wrath's cake.
