Hmmm, speaking largely generally:
Likes:
- Oddworld as a parody of Earth, drawing attention to our own situations and issues.
- complex characters and their interactions.
- The whole ALIVE experience of Oddworld - OWI must go to great length to try and produce realistic biomes and societies.
- Character design, for the most part. Especially Vykkers, Gabbits, Scrabs and Paramites.
- The lush environments and gloomy factories - in fact, most Oddworld settings.
- The great original names, including things from RuptureFarms to Fort Glokz.
- OWI's relationship with the fans! It really is remarkable! Even the aweful DD Onlines were made for us, so you have to feel incredibly grateful.
Dislikes:
- Things that clearly don't fit Oddworld - like some extracts from Dear Alf and the Daily Deception Online. Jokes are funny, but they crap on the illusion.
- Exceptions to the names/designs/environments rules. Interns, Clakkerz and Wilderness are good examples respective to those catagories.
- Earth things on Oddworld, e.g. SoBe.
- But at the same time, 'fans' who go and give other fans a bad rep by ultrareacting and 'leaving' Oddworld (not including those who just grow out of it).
