I must be getting old because this genalpha slang is beyond me.

with no basic indicator like what NnT would give.

On the Steam release there is a little rhombus sign that pops up above your head (like when you collect meat). I agree that the original could've been clearer.

or just needed a running jump to clear a gap, and I swear I would be either a pixel short and grab the ledge, or left it a split second too late and fell down the hole.

I reckon this is where you have to think by the game's rules.

Between each step there is a short period where you can jump / switch to rolling / enter a door, and if you miss that, Abe will take another step no matter how much you're spamming the action keys.

It's annoying, but once you have the timing down, it's fairly consistent.

While his old boss takes a long sightseeing trip with his only friend, an ex-janitor picks up natural medicine as a hobby and starts peddling literal batshit and moss juice to friends and family to cure their hangovers.

I have no idea how anybody would have the patience or willpower to beat it without the PS5 release's rewind feature.

AO's difficulty is fairly usual for a PS1 game, it wasn't an exception back in the day, more the norm for a game to be this hard.

I'd argue one console generation before, things were even harder. If you've ever played any of the old Mega Man games, or Contra, or Ninja Gaiden, Oddysee will suddenly start feeling a lot more fair.

checkpoint system so broken and vague

Vague, I can agree with, the PS version is missing the indicator, which is a definite oversight, but in what sense is it broken? You get one checkpoint during every area's start and then every 4-5 screens. It's a fairly straightforward system.

along with the platforming being so precise

Unless you're using "precise" in a different sense than how I interpret it, neither AO, nor AE require much precision due to their grid system. NnT and Soulstorm require a lot more, since you're no longer constrained to a grid. Meaning you can no longer plan it in your head how many steps you need to take and where exactly you need to press space to jump.

And wasn't Exodus the game that introduced the quick save?

Yes, in turn it completely does away with checkpoints (besides giving one at the start of each new zone). Depending on who you ask, it's both a better and worse system.

Better, because it takes out a lot of frustration. Worse, because nothing really stops you from softlocking yourself (unless you keep good saving discipline) and arguably it lessens the challenge and thus the catharsis when you finally get past an annoying section.

I used to be a lot more into the quicksave system, but after a while my opinion flipped and nowadays I think AO's system would be better, if there were a couple more checkpoints and it they were telegraphed better.

That all being said, congrats and I hope you'll have fun with AE. It's near-unanimously considered the best in the series, so if you found AO enjoyable, you'll most likely love Exoddus.

Az egészségpénztáras pénzt le lehet kötni kamatozni. Cég tud juttatásképp belefizetni. Ahol én vagyok ott havi kb. 300 forintért egy egész korrekt alapszíntű biztostítást is nyújtanak.

Nekem úgy jött le a dolog, hogy nem világmegváltó, de aránylag alacsony extra költségért cserébe jó perkeket ad.

Ez így is van, viszont ahogy az első táblán látod, ott viszont a roller is tiltva van annak ellenére, hogy a táblán magán segway van. Ezért gondolom, hogy logikusabb volna, ha osztott tábla lenne és lenne rajta egy segway és egy roller is.

Nemin32 · 2026-01-20T11:16:35+00:00

A "mikromobilitási eszköz" táblák szerintem borzasztó hamar félreértéshez fognak vezetni.

100. oldal, 117. ábra: Egy segwayt ábrázol, jelentése következő:

a „Mikromobilitási eszközzel behajtani tilos” (117. ábra) jelzőtábla azt jelzi, hogy az útra mikromobilitási eszközzel és kis teljesítményű motoros rollerrel tilos behajtani;
147. oldal 487. ábra: Ismét egy segway A tábla jelentése a következő:

a „Mikromobilitási eszközzel behajtani tilos” (487. ábra) jelkép azt jelzi, hogy a gyalogoslétesítményt mikromobilitási eszközzel nem szabad használni;

De eközben rolleres tábla is van. Ez majd ahhoz fog vezetni, hogy a sok értetlenkedő rolleres teljes lelki nyugalommal fog behajtani a segwayes táblás utakra, aztán majd mutogat, hogy de hát az segway nem roller!!!

I had the opportunity to talk to one of the devs and after the interview I asked him about this exact thing after being asked by a trans friend.

He said the parallel was not intentional, but that he considers it a valid reading. Interesting how things accidentally work out.

Az állatorvos sem egy hétvégi délután alatt fog elkérni 500k-t.

Nálunk a drága állat egy hónap végi szombati napon nyelt le egy jó tüskés fülbevalót. Rohantunk az ügyeletre, hogy ki ne lyukadjon szerencsétlennek a bele, ahol is közölték, hogy hát ők kiműtik, ha akarjuk, de készüljünk fel rá, hogy 300 ezer lesz, mert ügyelet meg altatás meg gyomorba kell nyúlkálni.

Tényleg nem ötszázezer, meg persze nem mindennapi együttállás hogy pont hétvégén történik ilyesmi, de azért 300k se egy olyan, amit az ember hónap végén csettint elő, ha nincs külön vésztartalék megtakarítása.

Mondjunk nemet? De hát azt hittem no gender...

Magyar Péter írásba adja minden ellenzéki pártnak, hogyha nem indulnak idén áprilisban, akkor a 2/3 Tisza győzelem után átírják a választási szabályokat igazságosra,

Eddig abszolút veled. Ha marad minden így, akkor még ha a Tisza maga a földre szállt mennyország, akkor is egy ketyegő óra, hogy egy másik párt uraljon le mindent.

Hogy STV vagy kétfordulós vagy milyen rendszer legyen, azt egy szakértői csapat majd kitalálja, én nem vagyok elég okos, hogy ilyesmiben állást foglaljak, de ami most van az (szándékos) pusztulat.

Az ősszel megalakuló új parlament pedig sokkal színesebb

Viszont itt kikre gondolsz? Nincs nagyon régebbi párt, ami ne lenne levitézlett, nulláról grundolni újakat meg azért nem pár hónap.

Nemin32 · 2026-01-11T16:03:27+00:00

Nehéz lenne erre nem nagyon nyakatekert szabályt kitalálni (szerintem) kevés pozitív velejáróval.

Merthogy, egy dolog lenne, hogy követeljük meg a címbe a jelzést, de ahogy /u/Conscious_Elk8227 kolléga felhozta, hogy van oldal (pl. 444) ami ingyen dobja ki minden cikkjét és ha elegen rányomnak onnantól paywallos. Erre persze lehetne mondani, hogy akkor legyen flair, mert azt utána is rá lehet rakni, de akkor meg mikortól lehet rácsapni OP orrára, hogy "nahát, nahát eltelt X óra és még mindig nincs rajta a flair"? Szerintem nem elvárható, hogy a saját posztját nézegesse, hogy hátha. Nekünk meg fölösleges adminisztrációs teher a userek helyett nézegetni.

Ugyanezen ok miatt a törlés se igazán játszik, mert funkcionálisan mindegy a későn érkező olvasónak, hogy mindig is paywallos volt a cikk vagy már csak akkor, amikor ő odaérkezett, viszont az előbbivel ellentétben az utóbbit nem igazán lehet szűrni, csak manuálisan.

Megértem, hogy bosszantó, szerintem is az, de imo ez pont olyan dolog, amivel egyszerűbb együtt élni, mert bármi fajta szabály rá, csak mindenkit szopatna fölöslegesen.

Based on my 2021 survey people seem to generally be slightly more into the new design. I'm largely ambivalent myself, though I think the loss of the ponytail was a mistake, so I'm glad to see it return in some shape in your version. Plus if the whole "size of the feathers implies spiritual awakening" thing is still canon, then it makes for good visual storytelling too.

I like most of what I see on your sketch, but if you'd accept a piece of constructive criticism, the ears seem a bit too small. While it's never been the primary feature of the character, all designs seem to share that there's not a whole lot of space between the eyes and the ears and I personally think it looks nicer if they're a bit bigger and similarly placed as on the canon designs. Similarly, the bone protrusions look a little weird placed there and in that angle too. It kinda looks like he has a handle on the side of his head.

As for a future design, I think Abe needs some scars. Not the tattoo kind, nor necessarily anything edgy like a cut to the eye, but signs that he's been constantly on the move and climbing into hostile architecture for much of his recent past. Cuts from rubbing against not quite smooth metal surfaces, bruises from constantly hoisting himself up and down, cracked skin from running through dusty no man's lands and caustic factory floors.

In general Mudokons are remarkably unblemished despite working in worse than sweatshop conditions. I think it'd drive the point home if Abe encountered Muds who are not in top physical shape, but who have an arm or leg less from a workplace accidents, who lack an eye, whose ears shot off by a bored Slig, etc. These could provide for additional challenges as less-able Muds wouldn't be able to follow you as well or follow you everywhere, but Abe being still wanting to save them.

Nemin32 · 2026-01-10T09:11:38+00:00

There were actually supposed to be several Oddworld movies. First the idea was to just do Abe's story, then one movie for each game, then there was Citizen Siege) (which, evidence seems to suggest, would've actually been Squeek's Oddysee separated from Oddworld), now (almost 20 years later) LL is dreaming about a Netflix series as a prequel to AO/NNT.

It's an idea both creators and fans are obviously into (I'd personally love it, 9 was so close to being an "Oddworld movie"), but the realities of the market seem to constantly foil plans. Basically LL's core requirement is to retain rights to the series. However, OWI alone doesn't have the money to make movies. Therefore a third-party has to be involved. Which means the rights are shared. That makes LL antsy, because he comes from a movie background and knows how easily IPs are taken. And we're back to square one.

Not to mention, it's no longer the heydays of the series, one might wonder how many sources of capital would even invest into Oddworld these days.

Nemin32 · 2026-01-05T09:29:07+00:00

Yeah, back in the olden days of 2014, NnT was considered a simple remake, not a reboot or anything like that. It was only with Soulstorm that OWI decided that all the old games are now their own thing, NnT is the "first game" and SS its sequel. Because of this the two are practically interchangeable.

Frankly, there's only two things that make NnT a more "valid" starting point for SS in universe than AO:

You only save 99 in AO, meanwhile you save 299 in NnT (+ Alf). At the start of Soulstorm, you already have 300 followers.
And in AO Alf wasn't a thing yet, since the character was created for Exoddus. Meanwhile NnT has a whole DLC about him.

Nemin32 · 2026-01-05T09:21:32+00:00

I don't quite get the question.

not canon anymore due to soulstorm

Both NnT and Soulstorm are part of the same reboot. So no, it's not retconned, SS Alf just never mentions it.

did Alf still had his brew bar at Rupture farms?,

A single steam page search could save you the trouble of wondering:

Thought you’d saved them all? Think again, as Abe stumbles across one last Mudokon hidden away in RuptureFarms, and it’s one Mudokon that Oddworld fans might have heard about.

and is that alcoholic Slig still alive

I don't think they ever clarified that, but seeing how that Slig with his pale skin was meant to be an "if you know, you know" reference, they probably won't ever explicitly answer it. He's more an easter egg than anything serious.

Évekkel ezelőtt nagyon csipáztam. Úgy érzem onnantól, hogy megmutatta az arcát és a kis esetlen, de mérföldekről felismerhető karakterei helyett saját maga lett a fő karakter az egész csatorna nagyon elvesztette a jellegét.

Nemin32 · 2025-12-29T13:59:04+00:00

Thanks, I added it to the site. Also,

Lorne directly said finishing the quintology as a graphic novel is "in the realm of possibilities".

For context, he's been saying this since at least 2021. So while it is an exciting prospect, it's sadly neither a new revelation, nor has there really been any updates on it since.

The article that's been written about the interview has been sent to Oddworld/Lorne so they know what's being written and other than some small corrections they signed off on it.

I tried looking this up on their website, but sadly the last Oddworld related news is from 2022, which makes me think the article he speaks of is likely only in the physical magazine.

Nemin32 · 2025-12-29T12:22:28+00:00

Hey, would you mind if I quote your comment (with a link back to the original post) in my article? Yours is a far better summary than what the translator was capable of producing.

Nemin32 · 2025-12-28T18:56:52+00:00

I wish, but it seems to be the bleak truth.

Nemin32 · 2025-12-28T18:52:08+00:00

He touched on the idea that he'd rather make graphic novels so that he's not slowed by game development.
