NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
 
i just rented SW, and my xbox wont read it.
when it does it gets up to the part where the cguy chasing stranger gets his gun cought by the fuzzles and they attack him.
then it skips for a couple seconds and "There's a problem with the disc youre using."
WHYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!

General Dripikk 03-12-2005 04:47 PM

this should be in oddworld help or suggustion or help, hmmm, that is a problem, maybe the disk is dirty? Did someone touch? or did you open in a play it? What a tragedy. :(

a flock of seagulls 03-12-2005 04:49 PM

its not the disc... its the xbox, it wont load anything i put in it....
why did it decide to screw up RIGHT NOW!!!! ISHGAHGOAIFHAODFHI

General Dripikk 03-12-2005 05:03 PM

Maybe you need a new X-box, But you probably hate using money. I don't know what to say. Sorry! :(

MojoMan220 03-12-2005 05:32 PM

Haha! That's what you get for renting it instead of buying it. You should think of dishin' out the money before your Xbox explodes!

Leto 03-12-2005 06:20 PM

Yeah, every cutscene on Stranger skips for me. Rather badly, too. It doens't completely stop the game though... It is just really annoying. Gak.

Mabye it is Odd telling you to buy the stinkin' game... 'Hey- we need to eat too ya'know.'.

Xavier 03-13-2005 12:52 AM

My xbox was dying a few weeks before I got the game...
and it totally died one day after I finished the game.

but I want to replay it!!!

Five 03-13-2005 02:02 AM

I'm really sorry for you :(...I don't know what to say more...Maybe there's a hope to fix your xbox?

a flock of seagulls 03-13-2005 03:49 AM

i got it to work, and like super munch said, the cutscenes are skippy. but atleast im at the secto spider thingy...

Xavier 03-13-2005 03:52 AM

you are in the dam?
and played it less 11 hours?

Kimon 03-13-2005 05:05 AM

He musta played it nonstop. I could probably get there in about 9 hours if I really tried.

Voodoo Hand 03-13-2005 05:24 AM

Wow, no wonder his Xbox is is acting up, it needs a time out.
Must be a short term rental.

Xavier 03-13-2005 05:27 AM

to get in the dam in 9 hours should be possible,
but the first time you play?

Kimon 03-13-2005 05:58 AM

Yeah, I guess that is a little quick. You should slow down and enjoy the game, a flock of seagulls!

a flock of seagulls 03-13-2005 11:03 AM

well, when boilz came to town, i entered the invincibility cheat... so that explains it...
i just beat the game too...
now i've got nothing to do....

Xavier 03-13-2005 11:17 AM

do I have to give my opinion about gamers who use cheats the first time they play?
I think you all know what I think

a flock of seagulls 03-13-2005 11:21 AM

well, i couldnt beat boilz, so desperate times call for desperate measures...
and i happen to have a measuring stick right here....

Kimon 03-13-2005 11:36 AM

Awww, come on dude. Boilz Booty isn't hard if you just try different ways. Damn, man. Friggin cheats blow.

a flock of seagulls 03-13-2005 11:39 AM

no they dont, they can be helpfull in many positions.
like... uh... um...... well yeah, they can be helpfull.

Xavier 03-13-2005 11:39 AM

just go to the other side of the street and find the extra ammo
then run in a hidout and shoot lots of fuzzles to prevent outlaws getting to close
then take them down

I did it in 15 mins

MojoMan220 03-13-2005 12:40 PM

Wow, you must have really ruined your experience with the game. What's the point of even playing if there is literally no challenge whatsoever? Damn I hate cheats!

CarboN 03-13-2005 12:51 PM

I don't think Boilz was hard. Couple tries and whoop, there it was.
Packrat was a little harder ^_^;
But invincibility is the worst cheat, it ruins the game experience the most.

Mudokon Princess 03-13-2005 01:08 PM

I didnt use cheats until the third time i played just to try them out lol

kao_kao 03-13-2005 01:08 PM

I once tried the cheat codes for fun, but I didn't use them in my game. I was just testing if they would work. But playing the game first time and with invincibility cheat... that really ruins the experience. I have been playing it for hours and hours and trying to find everything that there is to find. But everybody has their own ways ^_^

paramiteabe 03-14-2005 04:34 AM

Oh well this is an easy solution! Simply go to the store buy a new Stranger. Unless you live in the United States its only $40.00. But I know a place in my neck of the woods where you can get games cheaper with the same quality.

You ever hear of the Game Exchange?

Ha, I seriously read that as a solution to defeating Boilz Booty: go into the General Store and buy a new Stranger! Super! :p

Anyway, this should really go in Oddworld Help. If anyone has an Xbox that's not properly playing games, you should contact Microsoft's helpline, or email them, or such.

ConkerTribe 03-14-2005 12:41 PM

You know I never thought of it, but now that you mention it, my cutscenes DO occasionally skip right in the beginnings of them. It's only for a second, but it's still a bit annoying... I didn't think anything of it until now.

Agent-Sarah 03-14-2005 01:01 PM

Sounds like your Xbox is going to die. Mine died and I have to buy a new one.

Dude- DUDE! I'm conciousely(sp?) waiting until I finish the game 15 times before using cheats. Shame on you!

I beat the game in about 13 hours. 2.3 of those hours were me screwing around in towns, especially the early Grubb town.

Now you must buy the game... :p

you should try using body spray on the disk. due to its alcohol content it works just like a disk wipe. it worked when my fable game was broken.
