So if people don't like MO, they're not allowed to like Oddworld? Besides, I only come here for the people here. What's wrong with that?
Now I'm confused... Who brought up political correctness?
You didn't explain it the first time...
Then why the hell did you pretend you didn't see it was sarcasm?
Those "others" are almost invariably (note the word "almost" in there, before you leap on me) children themselves.
But everything you have posted is your opinion as well. What's the difference?
I wasn't dwelling on what could have been. I didn't even mention what could have been. All I was talking about was the immaturity of the humour.
We have to make the assumption that those who do stay are a representative slice of all those who join. We find that most of those are children. Therefore, we can make the statistical assumption that most of those who join are children. Clear?
Yes. Children.
Please listen to what I am saying:
AO and AE attracted a wide variety of ages. That includes children.
MO attracts almost (note again the lack of the sweeping generalisation that you like to pretend I am making) exclusively children.
See the difference there?
Now, so as to prevent the side-arguments from continuing, I will provide you with a brief summary of the arguments I have put forward in this topic that are directly connected with the discussion, so that you can reply to this instead of the whole paragraphs:
1. MO attracts mostly children, as opposed to AO and AE, which attracted a wide variety of age groups.
2. This is because a) the game's humour is infantile toilet humour rather than sophisticated satire, and b) cartoony graphics are used, rather than dark, believable, gothic landscapes.
3. It can therefore be assumed that MO has been targeted at a lower age range than the previous games.
4. This is what has put off the more mature fans.
Okay? This is my argument. Nothing to do with anything being left out of the game. That is somebody else's argument.

1. You can't know that for sure, there are many more thousands of people who have bought MO, and just haven't signed up. You can't judge it on this forums population ages.
2. What allows you to decide what is infatile toilet humour? Like i've said, others would percieve it
differently.
3. Nope.
4.
Some of them.
I understand that, but other people have those other arguments.

I think Alcar's initial plan backfired... He seemed to be under the idea that every one hated MO because they left out things that were going to be in it, it was on x-box, etc... So he was trying to set people straight, giving them dignified answers. But now he sees that people are disappointed in it for other reasons too, he is rather helpless. So, he just says "That's just your opinion" to just about every thing people say... (1)And also, I didn't really even know about the things that were cut out... I don't follow news updates about OW and the like. (2)

I'll say it again, this topic was to air some problems with the game notice the topic's title. I know quite a few people that are feed up with the bitchin that is going on about MO. Do you know what? Go off to the stupid ezboard and make yourselves an MO hate forum, so maybe the people who like MO can have themselves a good time at the ODDWORLD forums.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just because we didn't like MO as much as the others doesn't mean that we don't have the right to stay at the OW forums and post. (without flaming and spamming, of course...) (3)It makes me sick that you'd be such an ass to say something like this. And Alcar... if you hadn't noticed... you made this topic, a topic for people to come in to and bitch about MO.(4)

1. Pah! Backfied! In your dreams! I knew it wasn't just because of the switch to the X-box or things they left out, there were many more things people had complained about.
2. So there proves one of my earlier points in some other post, not
all people hated the game for it not having certain things in it.
3. I never said you should leave the OWF forums completely, your twisting my words. I said if people don't like MO, they should start a seperate MO hate forum somewhere. You could still come here and post, as i never said
leave the OWF.
4. I created the topic for problems to be put to rest.
