I loved that.
I finished the game, after playing it for unhealthily long periods of time, and I loved it. For some reason, it really did feel like Oddworld to me - especially the platformy areas. I don't know how they retained their feel in the games, but it was most certainly there and now I see entirely what they meant when they said it could've only come from Oddworld.
Especially the part in the sewers when the slegs were being ejected from a vertigal pipe to then run at you. :p The pre-rendered cinematics were as truely amazing as ever, and even the real-time cinematics were awesome. Some of them were just as spectacular as most games' pre-rendered work. I had a lot of trouble with the bosses, which didn't surprise me, and I think I caught 3 alive. Jo'Momma, Fatty McBoomBoom and...Boils Booty, I think. The rest I had to kill, and for some reason, I found Elboze Freely the easiest boss fight. Probably the only boss that that didn't kill me a couple of times. I ended up throwing the Looten Duke into some nearby fans to defeat him, after he had killed me a couple of times. My favourite chapter is by far the one after the De Pantsing cinematic, pure brilliance and I really love the boat. It controls wonderfully and the environments are stunning. Notice how Stranger was never, ever referred to as 'Stranger' again after he had ervealled himself? He became 'Steef' or 'The Steef' which I liked. And he looked really great as a steef. There were a couple of real-time cinematics I think would've been better as Pre-rendered. Specifically, when The Steef first falls into the Grubb village after his sleep on the grass. I felt that some of the Live ammo was pretty redundant. I hardly ever used the stunks. A stunk was immobilise a group of enemies, but most wuld be back in action after I had only bountied one of them. And then the Spark Stunks came too late on in the game and I think I used them... twice. And not very well, either :p I loved the vykker scene, especially where he says, "That might be a little problem... for you." The way he says it with the hand movements is brilliant. That might be a misquote, I havnt seen that FMV in a few hours. The grubbs voice surprised me, and it took a while for it to grow on me; I thought Sekto's voice was brilliant though. Oh, and their want of having extended 'Sergio Leone' style shootouts worked very well I thought. |
Heh. The Grubbs sound like Barney from The Simpsons. When I first heard them I thought they were drunk or something.

The Grubbs are hippies, I'll bet. Just hearing how they spoke and the words they used.

Hee, personally I thought that the Grubbz sounded like Bobcat Goldwaith. They were pretty cute and funny though. They also came at just the right point in the game. The switch to finding Sekto came just as the whole bountying thing started to get repetitive. I thought this was a really good move on the part of the developers.

:evil: :crafty: I had some fun, with the grubbz. When i go toward the wolvark facilaty, and that grubb comes to talk to you, I skip the talk and start throwing stuff at him.I Threw a bolamite at him, and watched him wiggle around, LOL. And other stuff. LOL. that was a hell of a lot fun.

I like all the voices. Is it me or did Stranger seem a little 'slow' at times. His words were fine, but the way he said them...it's like he....was pausing between....every few words...yeah.
|
That's one of his characteristic charms....
Or the programmmers might tink it is easier for them because they now only had to record: "gotsta get..." and the lose parts like "...back to the... bounty store and cash in..." "filthy hands floyd and get some moolah" |
