Your Faveourite Oddworld Game

Reese Charles · #1 05-10-2003, 08:09 AM

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to know what your faveourite game is. Personally I think the best one is Abes Exoddus, but I wanna know what you think...

Post your reasons (If you want to) here after you have voted...

AE purely because it's funnier, harder and just generally cooler than MO or AO. I have only rented AE for a couple of days but the experience was far greater than anything MO has offered.
I'm still to witness AO in any form, though i do own MO.

Reese Charles · #3 05-10-2003, 08:24 AM

Amen to that! AO isn't wonderful, but its better than MO by a longshot. AO is the most atmospheric as far as skies and lighting goes, and its also quite a challenge. My thoughts are that all the areas in MO where alot less dark and "odd" than the other games so that OWI could introduce the new controls and creatures as gently as possible. Can you imagine how baffling it would be if you were suddenly immersed in a dense and massive Oddworld with a mass and wealth of game speak, creatures and challenges etc? It would be beyond anyone that hasn't played MO and got used to the controls. Not that MO is a better game, but I can understand why it couldn't have been better than the last two.

P.S. AO is really cheap, you can buy it anywhere for next to nothing. I bought by copy for around £3.

Hobo · #4 05-10-2003, 08:27 AM

Where'd u buy it?

Reese Charles · #5 05-10-2003, 08:34 AM

Either GAME, HMV or Virgin. I can't remember which, it could have been PC World also. You can get it pretty cheap in all those places...

my favorite is AE... it has all the good of Ao with more
I just love the emotions and the environements

Reese Charles · #7 05-10-2003, 09:28 AM

Amen to that!

Reese

Sekto Springs · #8 05-10-2003, 11:11 AM

yes, AE is the best, it's longer, more challenging, and funnier. AO was ok it's just so old now. and MO sucked! sucked! SUCKED!

Nath · #9 05-10-2003, 12:27 PM

Yeah MO isn't the best game, but i still don't think it sucks.

My fav game of couse is AE, i like it more than AO because of the enviroments, but there are alot of parts of AE that make me just switch the game off when i'm halfway through it because i'm bored of it, but with AO i like all of the game and none of it bores me, and i guess thats the only reason that i still play AO. (But AE is better)

***Xavier*** · #10 05-10-2003, 12:38 PM

sligslinger, sorry but I don't think MO sucked, it wasn't even good but it didn't sucked

Sekto Springs · #11 05-10-2003, 01:32 PM

i'm just expressing my opinion...i ment compared do the other games it sucked.... i do like MO, but now i only play it when i'm bored.... i'm just sick of it after a while, you know....i just cant wait for the new game much longer...it should be alot better cause OWI keeping it in the dark

alot of people wished they tell more but it's probly the best thing to do for a good game

and guys, could you call me SS

sounds too Nazi for me

Reese Charles · #13 05-10-2003, 02:58 PM

Wow, this thread is doing amazingly well! And just like I predicted, AE is winning the vote! It will be interesting to see some competition aswell...

It would be good if the game designers could see this poll, I think they would get a good idea on what the fans really want...

Reese

Impaler · #14 05-10-2003, 04:03 PM

I prefer AE. It offered the best parts of AO and more. MO just didn't live up to the OODNESS and seemed incomplete!

Impaler...

Reese Charles · #15 05-10-2003, 04:06 PM

I quite agree, it didn't feel as "big" and "odd" as the other titles...

Reese

Sekto Springs · #16 05-11-2003, 01:18 AM

AE is the best for all these reasons! but this seems strange, has anyone posted this pole...it seems so common that noone would ever think of posting it...surprisingly i think this is the first time sumone posted this

Reese Charles · #17 05-11-2003, 04:43 AM

Yes, suprisingly no one has thought about posting a poll like this before. I wanted to make something popular for everybody to post in, and it looks like this is it!

that was SPAM... please read our rules (again)
http://www.oddworldforums.net/forums/rules.php?s=

please don't do it again
and If you want tell him he has a great banner just PM him

Reese Charles · #20 05-11-2003, 12:56 PM

Thanks Xavier! Yes, one little rule to go by in these forums, is to try to think about how relevant what your about to say is. If you think that what you have to say is something that everybody needs to know, then post it. But if its something personal (IE, telling someone you like their new banner) then you should send a private message to them instead. This helps avoid person to person convos in threads (As they can be a real nightmare to post in.).

I am sure you didn't do it deliberately, as you are new here, and possibly new to forums aswell. Everybody here will gladly point you in the right direction if your ever lost or unsure, so don't be afraid to ask.

You might want to read my thread "Necrum Burial Grounds: How to avoid it." in the Forum Suggestions & Help section. You can get to that by clicking on "Oddworld Forums", "Zulag Two", then "Forum Suggestions & Help" and looking for it.

Thanks for reading

before i got my xbox last year, abes exoddus was my fav. game, then when i got my xbox munch's oddysee i got, the problem with munch's oddysee is that it was too easy, so i just voted it anyway, im still not sure, AO or MO

Hmmmmm

Leto · #22 05-18-2003, 12:25 AM

I agree with Reptile, AO had the nice dark feel to it, where as I thought AE was goofing off a little. But I really liked MO. Probably because Munch is my favourite character...

Sekto Springs · #23 05-18-2003, 11:44 AM

AO was dark.....exactly.....fuse all three and you got the next game

formula: AO+AE+MO=OW4

I'm not realy sure about this

SeaRex · #25 05-18-2003, 12:32 PM

AE, because I liked the general style and feel of the game better than AO. Plus... quicksave!

MojoMan220 · #26 05-18-2003, 01:43 PM

When I look back at the games I would say AE, but I actually had more fun playing MO. It's easy to say MO sucked after you've played the hell out of it, but that isn't really fair.

Reptile · #27 05-18-2003, 03:08 PM

MO didn't suck when you went to the shops and bought it!?

Reese Charles · #28 05-20-2003, 06:16 PM

AE is definately winning here, good to see some competition though!!!

Reese

Wolfbane · #29 05-25-2003, 12:20 AM

AE is defintly my favourite mainly because of the new charactors you dont see in MO. But I also like AO storyline.

scrabinator · #30 05-25-2003, 12:48 AM

I like AO the best. I love the environments in it. For a long time I thought AE was my favourite but when I finally got around to playing AO again I remembered how good it was. I usually always like the original best. I also think that AO was more challenging.
