/v/ - Video Games

I miss early 2000s games, it was a comfy era.

Was Stranger's Wrath any good? I never finished it as a kid

I like how the games always carried a message without being preachy as fuck. good on the guy for holding onto his own IP for this long.

Does Munch's Oddysee have any vehicles? It uses Gamebryo and if they got vehicles working we have another reason to laugh at Bethesda.

TES had horses too, I forget what the problem with vehicles in particular was but they always blamed it on Gamebryo.

Munch's Oddysee actually controls extremely well on PC, much better than with the old clunky xbox controller. Platforming that used to be a nightmare is much easier in this once I got used to the controls.

>Was Stranger's Wrath any good?

Yes it was great.

Aesthetic was absolute god tier.

The writing managed to tell it's message without being preachy, which is something you can't say about most games today.

It controls like a dream. The way you build up speed while running is great, going from first to third person is very smooth and using all the different types of ammo is actually fun.

The dialog really shows it's age though and some platforming sections can be frustrating when you fall all the way down, but that is really the only thing I have to say against it.

Odd, I find the dialogue charming because of how it encapsulates the late-90's early-00's sense of "'tude". It certainly holds up better than the dialogue of some modern games with all their memeshit.

Munch's Oddysee was so fucking frustrating.

>the piano sound Munch makes when he walks gets boring after 10 minutes

>the useless mushrooms that Abe can grow anyway thanks to his shaman powers

>the copypasted levels where Abe has to carry Mudokons through a corridor one at a time or else they die

>the Fuzzles: you have to save them all and use them as disposable ammo at the same time

>the Mudokon eggs: you have to throw(!!!) them through a pipe, and if you fail the throwing, they break, and the level designers decided to put lots of them next to another in the same rooms, so the endgame is a cleaning room chore where you have to savescum in case you mistakenly break an egg

There is a wheelchair for Munch :^)

News on Soulstorm?

>>14090925

Don't get me wrong the dialogue is a rather minor complaint.

Most of the jokes still hold up, I just think the natives are a little goofy.

Reminder they're making a new game thats sort of a remake of Exoddus but its also not in some weird way
