One Hit Kill
 
There is probably already be a thread on this but because the search will not even look for words with four letters or under, I have no idea. So don't complain saying there is one already on this.

What do you think of the high amount of health you have in MO? I think they gave far too much and Abe and everyone (except perhaps the armoured ones) should still have been one hit wusses. Although it being 3D that would probably make the game impossible but they could at least lower the number of birds you have.
What do you think?
(Remember this is not about AO and AE.)
And yes I know they cannot change the game now but perhaps for the future.

My opinion: I want the one hit kill back, it would help the puzzle aspect.

Alcar 12-29-2002 07:15 AM

The way that a 3D games works in which multiple enemies can hit you from 360 degrees would make it extremely hard to beat the game.

However, I love challenges. And making it one hit kills would make it so much more challenging, as well as DEFINATELY upping the strategy involved to out mouvure enemies or whatever else.

I want one hit kills back.

i dont really mind...i like one hit kill and also i like to live a bit longer on OW games!

Xavier 12-29-2002 07:52 AM

One hit kill definatly!
that would be pretty more realistic

Facsimile 12-29-2002 08:05 AM

Hmm, someone hasn't voted, M.O.M...
Wow, I really didn't think that people would vote one hit kills, but I suppose that those that have voted and commented so far are more experienced at the games and want the challenge.

Xavier 12-29-2002 08:06 AM

yeah, a bit cause MO was a way to easy (compared to the 2 first games)

paramiteabe 12-29-2002 05:22 PM

One hit kill for me all the way. That brought so much challenge that when it was taken out it made Oddworld easy. But I am sure we will be rewarded with a great challenge in OW4.

Xavier 12-29-2002 05:29 PM

In fact we don't nead a great challenge but a great experience..
something nice to play and fun to see with background, don't forget that

TheKhanzumer 12-30-2002 01:09 AM

I think the one hit kills were great, but also the fact that it took a while for the sligs to make that hit, especially when Abe was running.

Majic 12-30-2002 02:21 AM

Why not make an option for one hit kill, that rewards you when you finish the game? See, its beilliant and flawless...

Mac the Janitor 12-30-2002 05:23 PM

Yeh, like a code or something.

And a bit off topic, but I would like to see some screwy physics codes like in Hitman 2, like turning off gravity and stuff.

Canned Gabbiar 01-01-2003 12:05 AM

Well, I'd prefer they lowered the health. I mean, the game would be way too hard for me if it was one hit kill. Hehe... I'd say lower the health to 2 to 3 hits.

Joshy 01-01-2003 02:59 AM

I want 1 hit kill back, oddworld was suppose to be a strategy game.

oko 01-01-2003 10:15 AM

i like the 1 hit kill but it wouldent be so good in MO when munch tell's the fuzzel's to attack it would be a bit stupid if the fuzzel's died with only 1 hit

Facsimile 01-01-2003 10:23 PM

True but last time I looked Abe or Munch were not Fuzzles.
I do not think everything should be one hit kill, but then I also do not think you should be able to order army type groups to attack as that also takes away strategy.
But anyway if the Fuzzles were one hit kills then so would be their enemies.

what?i never said that read it again stupid

Facsimile 01-03-2003 09:30 PM

Don't call me stupid, shithead.
You never actually play as a Fuzzle so they wouldn't be one hit kills. Read that again... bitch.

Alcar 01-03-2003 09:57 PM

Now now, try not to resort to violent tactics. It was a misunderstanding, and everyone makes mistakes.

Canned Gabbiar: One hit kills will be good, because it adds a more tactical/strategic layer to the games. If MO had one hit kills i'm sure that it would be a lot harder, as Slig's and other enemies could easily kill you, forcing you to do things much carefully.

Majic 01-03-2003 11:48 PM

One hit kills for a game like MO would be just... annoying. You can't actually see everyone around you. In like AO or AE (but wasn't AE like 3 hit kill?) you could see where you were going just fine. Think about being shot at from 4 directions, and trying to run away. And think about something like the first Sloghut. Its quite hard to run through without having your yourself or your Mud get hit....

Alcar 01-04-2003 12:28 AM

That's why you skillfully kill them ;)

That's why the strategic department will pick up. And the Oddworld Help forum will rise again with many requests of help!

MWUHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH! Ha...

Alcar...

Canned Gabbiar 01-04-2003 02:07 AM

The only possible way to kill those sligs before you run through is to run in front of them and hope they get hit by mistake. And even then, you'd have to do it heaps and heaps of times. The other way is to possess but you can only do that after you rescue the scrubs. So I say lower the number of birds to 2 or 3.

Xavier 01-04-2003 05:20 AM

well if one hit kill come back and in 3D I'm sure we won't have thing like the sloghuts, the levels will be designed to make it playable and fun, don't expect exactly the same kind of levels

no you don't but munch kan tell the fuzzel's to attack and i said it would be stupid if the fuzzel's died whit only 1 hit you don't have to be a fuzzel to make them attack it's like when a slig tell's a slog to attack you don't have to be a slog you have to be a slig
same whit munch and the fuzzel's.
i said when munch TELL'S the fuzzel's to attack not when munch is the fuzzel's to attack if that's what you think*kalm's down*sorry but i don't think you understud the post

Facsimile 01-04-2003 09:04 AM

You keep talking, but all I'm hearing is 'Blah blah blah."
I would sure like to one hit kill you... And I hate your name.

EDIT: Man I'm getting low.

oko 01-04-2003 04:25 PM

why don't we forget the hole damn thing i know that munch and abe are not fuzzel's so what are we fighting about?(hope im not on your ignore list so you kan't hear me)now back to the topic in big figths it would be stupid if he creatures only had 1 hit but i gues they could have 2-3 hit kill but what would be so spesiel about bigbro's if they where just as weak as normal slige's so for bigbro's 3-4 hit hos with me

Majic 01-04-2003 06:57 PM

Fascmile, I really don't want to, but first warning. Seriously, he never said anything to deserve such flaming in his posts.

I don't think OWI should have to shape the levels just to make the game alot harder. Remember, this is for little kids to. I think health should be lowered a little bit, if anything. Or like I said before, an option for one hit kill.

But Oddworld was always meant for a teenage audience :p

Keyword was. If you call MO a game meant for teens...

Ohh, you're so kind Majic. I will not argue with the warning, but I will say that oko you need to loosen up a bit, I was just kidding. And I thought it was funny, but obviously it was not. Oh well, I'll just argue with my friends...

oko 01-05-2003 09:10 AM

well that's ok btw i sent you a privat message earlier i want you to read.
