Yep, totally. I've been trying to explain this to my brother. Anyway, AO and AE were fun because they had mystery AND humor. MO was just too...say, bright for the Oddworld series compared to AO and AE. The factories in AO and AE were so dark, and fitting. The factories in MO seemed to be more...well, not Oddworld-ish. And SW was just not Oddworld to me, although it was a fun game it wasn't Oddworld. I know a big reason is that I love Abe, and Munch just didn't impress me as a "hero" for Oddworld. Stranger was a fighter, not the spirit of the Oddworld "hero" at all. I also didn't exactly like how you can fight in MO; AO's and AE's gameplay had you trying to escape superior enemies that could do damage to you, but you couldn't do damage to them. That's the real Oddworld gameplay, not a war-fest.
