Location, location, location...
 
Where is everybody's favourite location in oddworld and why?
Mine is Rupturefarms because of the darkness and evil of it. :p

As our first glimpse of Oddworld, it is incredibly difficult to get over the awe and impact of Rupture Farms 1.

But all the wild areas of AO truly have soul. Which is saying something, since I don't even think people have souls. Particularly the Scrabanian levels.

And Necrum, Beek's and the Junk yard.

LaraRaider 12-07-2007 02:12 PM

Rupturefarms too. I love meat! :D

OddYouko 12-07-2007 02:16 PM

I like the Stockyards cause it's dark and quiet. And the lovely moons and stars in the background. Plus I like the sound of nightime. :happy:
I also like Scrabania cause of it's music.

Jordan 12-07-2007 03:57 PM

Either the Stockyards, the feel of darkness and the stars shining just makes this area so beautiful. Or Necrum, the trees and orange colours are just awesome.

metroixer 12-07-2007 05:50 PM

Mudanchee temples.

Only cause I can't get over that catchy drum beat, and scrabs are my favorite native creatures :P.

skillya_glowi 12-07-2007 06:48 PM

The free-fire zone. Of all the places in Oddworld, it has soul, I dunno...I can't really describe the feeling that it gives me. But yeah. The Free-Fire Zone by a long shot.

Bullet Magnet 12-07-2007 08:50 PM

It's not just an escape, it is the discovery of a world beyond the harsh, steel walls of your cruel home. Where you first see wildlife and what the Glukkons have done to it, the factory from the outside, the moons, the extensive security system, guard slogs, spiritual awakening and the sense of a guide beyond your knowing (hint flies anyone?). A break-out under the cover of darkness and the gateway to something incredible. And a fantastic musical score.


Does that come close?

~^_^~ 12-08-2007 01:11 AM

Mine is Scrabiana. (Spelling?)
Scrabs are awesome creatures, and its quite peaceful there.
You get the feeling your with dead people. o.O

Oddey 12-08-2007 02:03 AM

I've always loved Paramonia. The music, the paramites, the forest, the heights, and the feel. Plus it reminds me of my uncle and his wife's names. Seeing as my uncle gave me AO when I was maybe 5.:fuzwink: I do like Scrabania though. The stockyards are just under Scrabania. Slig Barracks is a good place but the main reason I like it is because I like the colour green and sligs.

Zerox 12-08-2007 08:41 AM

Stockyards and/or Paramonia.

In think this has been done before though.

alf's brother's mate 12-08-2007 09:31 AM

As i said earlier, Ruptureafarms demonstrated the true evil, and corrupt industrial nature of the mean, cruel ruthless glukkons and their minions' evil ways. The sophisticatedness of Feeco. depot always appealed to me, the feel of travel on oddworld, the shut off door to vykkers labs, and the boarded up door to Rupturefarms. That sign brings back memories. Lots and lots of memories..... :)

My favourite are the Stockyards and the Necrum: they are mysterious especially the Stockyards, we don't know much about them and I love the environments of these places.

Close enough :p
But not quite...

Mongo River. SW has the best locations.

CaitSithX 12-09-2007 11:34 PM

For some bizarre reason, I seem to enjoy the Mongo River on SW more then most
of the other areas in the series.
Not sure why though.

Besides that, I'm a fan of Free-Fire Zone, Paramonia and Scrabania, and
sometimes the outdoor levels on MO are interesting, though a bit on the
repetitive side.

Norozov 12-10-2007 07:51 AM

my favourite location are stock yards paramonia scrabania and feeco depot i just like all these places because scrabania and paramonia the sky the scenrey stackyards because of the stars and the mystery feeco becauseof the trains

Paul 12-10-2007 12:36 PM

Fav places (out of all of the OW games):
Paramonia - its pretty
Stockyards - its darky and creepy
Rupturefarms - its damn right evil :D

Chubfish 12-10-2007 01:24 PM

Scrabania and the Stockyards are my favourite places on Abe's Oddysee, for Abe's Exoddus it would probably be the Slig Barracks and the Mudomo Vaults.

Tristan 12-11-2007 03:34 PM

I like the Mongo River, Feeco., all the native places, the forest to new yolk, and soulstorm brewery. Mongo River: Beatiful waters and woodland... Forest to New Yolk : Heavy forest and tree forts... Soulstorm: It looks awsome with all thes places to go to.

ADVENTURE!

abe is now! 12-12-2007 07:08 AM

I have to add that my favourite places arent only the Necrum and the Stockyards, but I like the SoulSotorm Brewery and the Bonewerkz too. Why? Because the first is enormous, exaggeratedly big and it is dark and it is encrusted of strange substances. I like the Bonewerkz because it is submerged with powder of bones and it is ruins. I like the boilers too (they seem skulls!!!).

Zelda--Fan 12-13-2007 10:17 AM

...
War room
Free-Fire Zone
And.....necrum

ElumFan 12-16-2007 05:44 PM

Favorite Landscape
 
What was your favorite level in Abe's Oddysee or Exoddus?

I myself haven't played the full game of Abe's Exoddus and I have played and beaten Oddysee. So my favorite landscape in Abe's Oddysee has to be Scrabania, I loved everything about it. The Scrabanian Temple was a lot funner than the Parmonian Temple. I also thought the Scrabs were cool as well!

skillya_glowi 12-16-2007 07:44 PM

There's already a thread like this.

...And mine is Free-Fire zone. =B

Xavier 12-16-2007 10:12 PM

Merged the two topics ;)

abe is now! 12-22-2007 02:06 AM

All the Oddworld places are beautiful, but I said my favourites, but I forgot many: for example Slig Barracks, because it is an enormous village of tents and huts. And the feeCo Depot, especially the warehouse in the Zulag 5 where boxes and barrels are stored and form mountains. I love all the native places. There isn't an explanation.

Hobo 12-22-2007 04:39 AM

Why don't you just list every place abe is now! huh?

magic9mushroom 12-24-2007 04:09 AM

I'd say Paramonia, because of the quiet, peaceful atmosphere, the ffz, because I'm always on edge when I play it and that makes me feel good, and the places you see on the rail journeys. Soulstorm Brewery's also good because of its complexity,

I do it. But I'd need an explanation for all of them.

Koncept 01-05-2008 10:38 AM

my favourite places in oddworld are:

Paramonia - dark, creepy, peacefull and cool

rupture farms - as others said, its evil

Necrum - just looks beautifull

stockyards and free fire zone - look nice and have a great atmosphere

but above all...Scrabainia 'cos of the brilliant atmosphere and great music.
