Best game in quintology series
 
Which do you think is the best game in the quintology?

Does not matter if it is not part of the actual quintology.

Slaveless 05-09-2006 04:18 PM

That's a toughy. I have never played SW or MO, so I can't say anything about that. AO certainly had orginality, but AE had expansing enviroments and characters. Plus Quiksave. Man, that a toughy. AO was also serious and frightening, but there were AE's moments. I can't decide. But I bet AE would've been really hard if you didn't have Quiksave.

Kimon 05-09-2006 05:04 PM

Stranger's Wrath isn't part of the Quintology, and technically, neither is Abe's Exodduss. So it's between MO and AO. I'd say the answer is most obvious.

But, for the record, SW is the best game in the series so far.

Abeguy 05-09-2006 07:01 PM

2 out of 5, that's pathetic.

thus encourages my wanting to make my own OW game

Al the Vykker 05-09-2006 08:22 PM

Abe's Oddysee by far. Darkest yet, seemed to be the most spiritual/mythical. Even though it wasnt a Quintology game, I enjoyed Abe's Exoddus almost equally as AO, for once again dark humor, but there was a slight difference somewhere with it.

Is it just me or is this the fourth thread on this topic this year?

oddveteran93 05-09-2006 09:49 PM

This is tough. Either AO or AE but since AE is the first game I played (from the series) it's probably the best to me.

Xavier 05-10-2006 12:25 AM

lets set things staight:
AO chapter one of the quintology
AE bonus game of the quintology say chapter 1.5
MO chapter 2 of the quintology
SW not a quintology game

Yeah, I thought I saw this topic once before too. Actualy, I think I replied in it.

oddveteran93 05-10-2006 03:56 AM

I also wanted to say that MO was also fun and a good game but the environments and areas were kinda repetitive.

AE gets my vote because of the varied gameplay, but AO was more original.

Fuzzle Guy 05-18-2006 10:06 AM

AE is NOT part of the Quintology. Type in Oddworld in Google video and watch the Munches Oddysee Review.

It is a tie for me between AO and SW, but I voted for AO on the poll.

Xavier 05-18-2006 10:19 AM

well I don't know if AE is in the quintology or not
it's not a main chapter, but that doesn't mean it doesn't contribute to the story of the quintology

KintoKid 05-19-2006 02:12 AM

I like AO and SW about the same, but I went with AO since it's been around longer, and it's the reason I got into Oddworld.

Xaviers right, their was going to be 5 quintology games which each introduced its own character. every quintology had 1 or 2 'bonus games' which could be considered plot fillers, because they don't introduce a new playable character.

IMO bonus games purpose is to add detail to the story line without being significant. The point of AO was to help Abe escape and save as many mudokons as possible along the way. While in AE the game was all about saving MORE mudokons from oppresion.

AO is best IMO..............

skillya_glowi 05-20-2006 09:56 PM

Yeah, what I always imagine it as is a set of books. AO is the first book. But only the first part of the book is called AO. The second part is AE. Always makes me think of Le Guin's The Wizard of Earthsea, where the actual story "The Wizard of Earthsea" took up only part of the book.

magic9mushroom 05-23-2006 07:55 PM

Good idea thinking same myself

skillya_glowi 05-23-2006 07:58 PM

Spirrow, if you're here, which you're probably not, I don't know if you noticed, but the poll looks very weird saying "Stranger's Wrather"

Zeikio 05-25-2006 01:28 PM

1. AE
2. AO
3. MO
4. SW (Although I haven't played it yet)

Yes, I noticed that, thanks.

Dusan 06-10-2006 11:21 AM

I coudn't decide betwen AO and AE. I played AO when I had 11 or 12 on PS. I found AE much later but it's great. So probably my list would look like this:
1.AO (or AE)
2.AE (or AO)
3.SW
4.MO
Last two games i didn't played (Stupid EA and XboX. There are more consoles than a Games). Story of MO is good but I do not like characters. SW have great atmosfere, enviroments and characters are not bad (so western). But I hate the name of the city "new yoLk" (changing the one or two letters of the real city name is so patetic).

dripik_12 07-02-2006 11:00 AM

The best game in quintology is AO and AE

Mudoko_Jedi 07-03-2006 12:16 AM

you know its prety pathetic caling something patetic.

Spirrow 07-03-2006 01:20 AM

This thread was done with two months ago.

Lord Vulcher 07-03-2006 03:44 AM

Best game: AE
Worst game: MO

paramiteabe 07-03-2006 12:06 PM

Best game AO without a doubt second best AE third best SW worst MO.

Spirrow 07-04-2006 10:33 AM

Are you kidding me, I'd rather play MO than SW.

You guys didn't get the message when I said "this thread was done
with two months ago". It means that this thread was on the second
page and basically closed. But since you guys can't resist posting,
proceed.

Xavier 07-04-2006 10:35 AM

if you give me the choise I leave MO in his box and play SW all the way :p

used:) 07-04-2006 10:39 AM

I like all of them because they each have such good features. But in terms of which one I find the most fun to play, I would say AE. Of course, I still have yet to play SW, so this porbably isn't my best opinion. :p
