/vr/ - Retro Games

Saying "literally perfect" is fishing for shitposters to come in and trash it, but yes it's a great game

>unique gameplay
Cinematic platformers are a genre anon, not unique.

Aesthetically it’s immaculate. Gameplay is a bit troublesome in places, but overall good.

>>5734829
I can agree to that, the controls can be clunky and at times its frustrating, but never in a way that fails to serve the game as a whole.

exoddus

introduced the quicksave which made it slightly better
extra vocal commands and characters to control

>>5734781
From the looks of that character, the cheesecake is probably horrifying.

>>5734781
it's overrated as heck. the gameplay is boring. you must have played it as a kid and so have nostalgia-goggles

>>5734781
humor seemed pretty cringe desu

>>5734781
>This game is literally perfect. You can't change one thing about it and make it better
But exodus did exactly that.

>>5734862
OP will argue that it made it worse, because of the challenge

>>5734892
She actually is, there's only one known Mudokun female

Uniquely disturbing and comforting at the same time. Incredible.

>Huge lump of a creature.
Yuck
>Cradling a baby in her arms.
D'awwwww

>>5734781
exoddus you swine

Stranger's Wrath is perfection tho, not retro, but still.

Is this game, or should I say this franchise, a huge piece of anti-capitalism leftist propaganda? I'm saying this with respect, being a commie myself

Can't people do a fucking "Free the slaves" story without antifa cunts like you dragging it through the mud?

>>5736783

Well, it's a "free the slaves" but also a"destroy the factory and kill the owners" story, so the doubt is legit

>>5736820
Wow pardon the fuck out of Abe wanting to blow up a factory that literally wants to turn him and his people into meat-on-a-stick.

Exoddus is better
>muh quicksave making the game too easy
Except the gameplay itself was way harder than in Oddysee

Fanboy detected


Anyway it's a great game, but there's no "perfect" game out there

>>5736783
"free the slaves" is a leftist message

>>5737026
Only if the masters are the ones doing the freeing.

If you're the slave, you're acting in your own interests. That's completely right-wing.

Left-wing would be a glukkon sympathizing with the mudokons and helping them defeat his own people like a total fucking faggot race traitor.

Abe is doing the right thing for himself and his people, earning his people's freedom through his own guile.

A quisling Glukkon would be engaging in a retarded act of altruism and giving power to undeserving weaklings.

>>5734805
What other cinematic platformer has the puzzle focus Abe's has though? Especially the emphasis on the interactive environment.

>>5737132

Flashback is probably the closest thing.

>>5737132
Heart of darkness

What did you guys think of the remake? I found it disappointing, the art style was boring and the movement was too fluid. I'm not sure what the term is but I preferred the original's grid style movement.

>>5737598
>the movement was too fluid
Way to take a positive and spin it as a negative because you don't have any real issues to complain about.

>>5734781
Exoddus was way better though so you are wrong

hello

>>5734781
One day I will replay this game (haven't played it since I was a kid) and then play Exoddus. I remember having a magazine that talked about the sequel, the flying slugs always looked cool.

>>5737598
It’s fun if you just treat it like a game. It’s nice to just play like it’s a traditional platformer, thought the saws that cut vertically I think don’t work very reliably. I got hit by them way too often.

Art-wise it took a huge hit. And to me that’s like 3/4 of the reason to play Abe. Everything is too bright and fast now. It still looks good, but only because it’s based on incredible art. Some of the screens in original AO are legitimately stunning, and other things like area transitions aren’t as good in the new game either.

Again though, it’s decent in and of itself. Also Soulstorm looks really good to me, but not a lot of people seem to think so yet.

>>5736584
Hehehe

>>5737776
The remake is amazing

Here boy!

>>5737605
Too fluid = Abe doesn't seem to have any real weight to him and his feet slide along the floor rather than making pixel-perfect movements.

>>5738653
That's a contradictory statement. He slides around specifically because his controls are weighty, which is one of the most common complaints that we also see with oddysee and exodus.

>>5737115
The glukkons are so obviously a play on corporate America. Oddworld is in the very least, anti-capitalism.
Do you just not want to admit a game you grew up with has political inspirations that don't align with your own political beliefs or something? Pretty sure Oddworld Inhabitants are blatantly leftwing on twitter.

>>5734829
>Aesthetically it’s immaculate.
What the fuck are you talking about? Are you Euro?

>>5738684
>glukkons have thick brooklyn accents
mudokons are goyim confirmed???

smooth scrolling backgrounds, its a bit of a step backwards compared to 16 bit games
backgrounds can be a bit blocky, I remember the pc version being more detailed than ps1
great game to play and watch, its like looking at artwork

>>5737132

Almost every cinematic platformer including Another World, Flashback, Heart of Darkness, Blackthorne, Limbo and Prince of Persia 2.

It even extends to spiritual successors like Ico, Mirror's Edge and the PS2 Prince of Persia games.

>>5738696
What is hard for you to understand? I'm not Euro and what he said was fine, are you retarded?

>>5738684
You know it's possible to hate corporate America without being anti-capitalist, right?
