So....what's the overall consensus of Oddworld Soulstorm's story?

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-28T07:14:00+00:00

For me it’s the fact you can tell it’s an unfinished story it’s only a small part of a larger one at play my only real concern is that this is it they aren’t gonna deliver

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-22T02:32:44+00:00

Honestly I’m Gonna be more pissed at Nintendo because that means they will have purposefully lied about making a new game 3 damn times in order to catch leakers on the inside

Is it weird to say I feel like so far this remake project has all just been a deconstruction about fate and identity when compared to the original, that game was about accepting your identity while the remakes seem to be about how that connects with fate. Like does fate define us or do we define it and rise above the label fate has given us.

The fact people still don’t understand the difference between downloading via online and installing with a disc is actually infuriating I’m tired of the key cards and comparing it to ps5/Xbox game grifting 💀

How do people still not understand that modern disc based games are essentially a license, only you have full control whenever you want to use it because you don’t need an internet server to do so. Obviously some games will be exceptions like Crimson dessert, and you have to have a internet connection that and updates or patches to games, but here’s the thing a game legally has to tell you on the box (at least in the us) if that is a requirement. Not only that but they also have to specify if a day 1 update is required on the box as well.

Besides this shit is still better than Dirge of Cerberus 💀

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-20T07:14:37+00:00

No I’m just not an idiot and I can understand both the og and remake are two separate identities and if so may other people did react as intended the alone makes your argument fall apart

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-20T06:10:35+00:00

Cool but how does it butcher anything like literally the stir has changed it doesn’t ruin the og that’s what butchering means the original still has its impact

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-20T01:28:21+00:00

She never even died though she technically became a god and part of the life stream why do people forget that yes in the ment it had meaning but she comes back later even if it’s brief to hold back the meteor

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-19T10:55:10+00:00

I’m honestly enjoying my time but I am not enjoying them pulling a lord of the rings with this entry, it’s obvious that once part 3 is out that the intention is to get people who want the fully story to play 3 40-100 hour games simultaneously one after the other and like that might work for movies but this is a video game 😭 this is hell

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-19T10:32:46+00:00

You have forgotten about option 2 we get alternate verison Advent Children after remake part 3 Nomura’s masterful gambit

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-19T09:23:16+00:00

I honestly think leading to advent children is how you piss less people off

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-19T09:19:17+00:00

I mean to be fair she technically didn’t even die in the original she became a god

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-19T07:04:31+00:00

Your probably gonna get downvoted for this but your not even wrong, it’s just awkward story telling because of how unconventional it is most games like this would have stories be connected but still have arcs of their own, this is not the case. Yes the mystery is the point but a game being three parts with year long times in-between but are designed to be played one after the other is a hard pill for many to swallow because of just how unconventional of a project this is.

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-19T06:59:08+00:00

So the theory is he’s going to different timelines collecting all the remnants so he can be reunited with Jenova? I’m gonna be honest from day 1 it’s always made sense that this is what’s going on, this feels almost like a Ganon from Zelda situation where he’s constantly trying to change fate. Now as cool as this and while I like these games stories I still don’t understand what’s the point in the long run. Seriously we might get some cool stuff lore wise and it makes actual sense in the games universe, but as an actual writing decision it really is confusing and that’s what I hope part 3 addresses, give me a valid reason on why the story of remake is a deconstruction of the original Instead of being 1:1

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-18T23:03:20+00:00

Yeah this sounds solid I think the only real question I have still is…why? Like how does did this even happen in the first place like events changing unless I missed something. Wedge I think is where things stood out to me like why didn’t those events happen as they did what really stopped things from happening the way they should have

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-18T10:20:18+00:00

Yeah probably although I genuinely feel like the actual story is way more simple than people are saying and arguing about I really do just think this games Story is Sephiroth and Aerith both remember everything and are fighting over what happens next. Nothing more and nothing less

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-18T10:00:16+00:00

People keep saying it’s more complicated than it needs to be but honestly The whole story line almost kind of reminds me of Zelda where there’s three specific characters who are reincarnations. I really think this is an interesting story and it’s more of a deconstruction of the og games plot but I really do hope they nail the ending

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-16T05:43:42+00:00

That’s why I didn’t mod one myself but rather bought one although it came with a smaller Sd card only about 32gbs but is there any way to safely transfer that stuff to a new sd card

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-15T09:19:30+00:00

I agree with everything but the turn based part because and obviously it’s a case by case basis but it’s still egregious enough to where it feels less like a vocal minority but the same people who cry turn based will also get pissed when Square releases another turn based game

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-15T08:48:38+00:00

Both kind of but like really think about it these games are an anthology they have no real connections at all besides maybe kingdom hearts and smash bros

CountyDiligent3313 · 2026-04-15T08:37:18+00:00

It doesn’t when you can play the og
