Holy fuck this game is hard. Practically trial and error at times.

I dropped it because time sensitive trial and error horseshit and nonsensical puzzles got stale fast. Shame because I liked the aesthetic

>>382162803
I can understand that, this game is certainly not for everyone. Is it quite frustrating at times when you miss a jump because of the fucking input delay.

I dropped it because the prisoner locations are complete bullshit, some of them are like the exploits speedrunners do to skip areas

>>382162653
Art style is great. Gameplay itself is boring.

>>382162653
i played this so fucking much i could 100% on my phone through emulation and touch screen controls. If you want a real challenge, check out the sequel

I think I got as far as those temple trials before quitting. Some room with a bunch of those dog things where you had to exploit the bait perfectly to get bye. I don't like how artificial the levels are set up, makes me tolerate the puzzles less.

Thanks, but this game is challenging enough for me I think.

Once you know how to solve all of the puzzles the game's boring. Fight me about it.

I 100%;ed both games on first try when they came out.

Fucking easy as shit

>>382163534
this. I really thought it was going to be more action oriented but its basically just a puzzle game. But yeah it has some awesome art and the world itself is so interesting. The book for the art of oddworld is worth checking out.

>>382163546
>?if you want a real Challange check out the sequel

Exoddus is longer and has more complex mechanics but it's much, much less frustrating because you can quick save at any time. The remake of Oddysee had this as well and suddenly 100%ing the game become a moderately challenging experience instead of endlessly redoing lengthy segments until you found out how to do a puzzle.

> Story and atmosphere
Oddysee > Exoddus

> Gameplay
Exoddus > Oddysee

Abes Exoddus is better but they are both god tier games, Exoddus just offered more. How a sequel should be made.

>>382162653
I literally beat this game when I was 4 years old

>>382164253
except in exoddus sometimes quick save can fuck you over

ITT casuals

This game is my childhood, my first video game love story... I just fell in love with this game when I was like 7 or 8. It was hard, the game kicked my ass a lot but I played it so much. During days I tried to progress a little bit farther. But I couldn't finish it as a kid, too hard.

Years later I downloaded them again on the ps store and finished both oddysee and Exodus. It felt so good to finally be able to beat the games so many years after... Like a promise you never forgot.

maybe don't use a strategy guide and actually figure them out first then. that's the point of puzzles.

Necrum, Modomo + Mudanchee Vaults, FeeCo Depot, Slig Barracks are all amazing and better than most of the areas in Oddysee.

then why are you complaining

>>382165179
Oddworld puzzles have 0 logic behind them. I remember checking at the part where you jump through retarded tubes, thats where I gave up and looked up the guide only to find out that you had to do some completely unrelated shit 5 screens away in just the right order so that the tue would squirt you out in a different direction

it has terrible controls. aesthetic is probably one of the best ever achieved in gaming. everything looks beariful and cool. i also dropped this game at some point. some darker levels, stealth involved. not really far

I'm responding to people who are getting uppity with me for calling the game boring. I'm not complaining that it's boring. I'm stating that it's boring. Full stop. There's no argument there.

When you're a kid and don't get to own many games you'll play whatever you get regardless of how boring it is. You're welcome to explain why you think it's not boring instead of just shitposting.

>>382165475
Terrible controls? Work fine for me. Simple and easy. Only issue is that a lot of actions require holding a button instead of tapping, which was fixed for Exoddus.

I only played New and Tasty, thought it was fucking great, loved the oppressive atmosphere of the whole thing and general mood of the game. Do the other entries retain that?

>>382166038
a lot of xbox games had pretty rough covers.

OK.

See how I'm not arguing with you? Because we're allowed to think differently.

You obviously never got to the Fleeches

>>382166114

Is 3D oddworld even worth playing?

>>382166106
New and Tasty ruined the atmosphere, go play the original 2 Abe games, they weer much darker and depressing. Munchs Oddysee is kinda meh, Strangers Wrath is great but different.

>>382162803
>nonsensical
This is a word that gets thrown around a lot when a person is bad at puzzles. I get that you're reaching for a criticism to justify you're frustration, but use words that make sense.

>>382166391
yeah, basically what this guy said >>382166450
munch's art style and tone is 50/50 great/whatthefuck, fun game in its own right though. stranger's wrath is a really good game, but not like the oddworld you know.

>>382163304
What are you, some kind of autistic 100% faggot? You don't need to find every hidden thing to beat the game or even to get the good ending.

This thread just made it finally click in my head to leave /v/ forever.

>New and Tasty ruined the atmosphere
I doubt that it fully did, having only played New and Tasty I felt that the game was just unsettling to play in general.

coming from a longtime fan, i enjoyed it but it really did fart on the atmosphere - that's partly why JAW won't be doing the sequel and Lorne Lanning is back on board full-tine.

New N Tasty is only really guilty of trying to mesh Oddysee's atmosphere with the tone of Exoddus and Munch. While those titles were dark, they were not 'thrown into a neet grinder' for failure dark.

I thought they did alright. Substituting those great shadows from the original with particle effects was a huge letdown though.

Where is the Soulstorm conspiracy thread?

>>382167063

Inb4 bye faggot

I've been playing through the series and the games are kinda shit. Ace atmosphere and creature designs, but that gameplay is hot garbage. Munch's Oddysee is kinda just bad in every regard. I'm only a few minutes into Stranger's Wrath but it seems more up my alley than its predecessors.

dumb as fuck term, they should be called "realistic platformers" or something like that. Not sure what's supposed to be "cinematic" about step-wise movements and pulling yourself up on ledges.

>>382167247
Exoddus kept the atmosphere from Oddysee, possibly made it darker other than the fart possession stuff. Munch is what ruined it.

>>382169087
all the visual design of vykkers and their labs is great, then you have... glockstars *shudder*

>>382168568
They're "cinematic" because they tend to prioritize visuals, animation, and story-telling. Hell, half of the budget for Abe's Exoddus went toward the 15 minutes of cutscenes.

One of the few games I bought, played for a bit, then emulated.
The way checkpoints are handled in Oddysee should be considered a crime against humanity given how the platforming handles.

Prince of Persia only emphasized animation and it's still what people call it. It's a dumb term when genres are supposed to be about mechanics. Might as well have a genre called "pretty platformer".

Played through both games with my best bro back in the day. Great pseudo-co-op games. We'd switch off lives and levels. They're not so difficult when you have two sets of eyes working for you.
