Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath was my childhood

[@jayveeeee]

this game makes me want to grab the original Xbox and play Conker Live & Reloaded 🥹

[@TheLeageOfAwsome1]

Yes please!!! That sounds awesome, love when you do throwbacks from that nostalgic early 2000s era 🙌🏻 I mean I love all of your videos but who doesn’t enjoy a lil throwback

[@dumbhat69]

Please do

[@believeinmatter]

It’s backwards compatible, I still have an original copy

[@wellwhatdidyouexpect3882]

YES PLEASE DO!!

[@mhjmstultiens]

Incredible how well this held up after all these years. Just pure gameplay, no bullshit.

[@jayveeeee]

yep. no day one patches. very few cutscenes. light humor and doesn't take itself seriously at all. i love this era of games 🤠

[@TheAsdasy]

its funny how these old games have INFINETLY more soul than most today AAA titles

[@creed8712]

They were allowed to be creative. I think a problem the game industry and movie industry have now is that they are these massive productions so a silly little game like this could never be made today because they’d throw way to much money at it and expect it to succeed which means cutting corners

[@improbablyyourdad8458]

@@creed8712 also these companies don't want to take risk. They use what's popular and proven because they want every game to appeal to the widest possible audience, not realizing that most of these mechanics started in niche games. Dark souls combat was a niche that became popular, and now it's overused.

[@Raul-ef6ct]

These old games are a little goofier, that's all 😁 not better than the AAA titles!

Can confirm. This game was my favorite game when I was a kid. Probably the first game I ever played with legit voice acting and style. Such a timeless game.

[@CapTK85]

This game was close to perfection. The story. The gameplay. It was so simple and so much fun. Imagine if it had multi player? Haha.

Cool story about this game. I was 15 when this game came out. I was a regular up at my local Gamestop (as was any gamer back in the day) the manager of the store was about to leave to go to manage another store. I was in two weeks before this game was supposed to come out. He said "here take this demo and tell me what you think when you come back." Well I was playing it and about TWO HOURS into the game I was like.... ummm I don't think this is a demo!? Turns out he gave me the store copy ( on purpose) such a awesome game. I loved every second of that game.

[@pandaking6247]

Thats such a cool story, wish stuff like that still happened

[@donventura2116]

My grandma rented this game for me at blockbuster for a single weekend. I played it nonstop. Never even beat it and it has lived rent free in my head ever since. Every year I'm like I should go finish it, but something always comes up and pulls me away.

[@CapTK85]

Oh man you gotta finish it. It has such a great story that definitely catches you off guard. The game gets better as you find out the twist of the game.

[@thelispinglizard5458]

It's on the Google Play store for $3

[@hunter_mxrtxn]

man for 2005 this game looks amazing far ahead of its time

[@alexthealexander17]

My grandma loves this game and i always have to help her on certain missions. She always calls me in when she plays and says "Alex help me play stranger" and when i take damage she always yells at me to shake. Love this game so much

[@nean9894]

this game and the other oddworld games were the pinnacle of my childhood i remember beating the game on the og xbox for the first time while i was still in kindergarten i still look back extremely fondly on all the oddworld games but this one is special to me and even holds deeper meaning to me as an adult. Stranger, Abe, and Munch will always have a place in my heart just like the brutal yet comedic world they inhabit

[@xpatrstarx]

I can't belive I've never heard of this game. It looks so good and it held up amazingly!

[@xpatrstarx]

@Watching specifically this game

[@outhere2157]

Its on Android too

[@cortepapel5706]

Imagine my surprise that this underrated gem of a game is from a lineup of platformers that often times are more puzzle based. Just got back to replaying to do all achievements and it's still as great as ever.

[@jessewynnyk9725]

Found this gem at a yard sale many many years ago, I remember spending probably too much time with it, but I wouldn't change it for the world

[@ugthakthedestroyer4566]

this game was probably the one that really hooked me as a child. I've never stopped gaming since; replaying this gem to this day.

[@munchinmomo]

use to sit back and watch my dad play this all day.. miss him..

[@ion_force]

I know this is the HD version and the original probably looked way muddier, but this game really has aged like fine wine.

[@shaynola1]

One of the best games i remember playing on original Xbox. It still holds up so well today

[@charliejames1981]

I would have loved to play this game right now. It's a shame games like these aren't around any more.

[@SwampyWilkinson]

Emulation is your friend. You can have this game literally in minutes.

[@TheMajinMateo]

It's also on steam.

[@ryank5oo]

It also got a hd port to ps4 and xbox one, not sure about next gen, probably though

[@charliejames1981]

Thanks people I will look into this...

[@TYRYT]

This was my childhood aswell. Loved it! I always checked yearly if it was ever going to be remade, when it finally did I 100% achievement Hunted it straight away

[@disturbedroxz346]

Played through this again a year ago or so and it was still really fun, worth a playthrough on steam even to this day. Sometimes gameplay was so well designed it really be timeless.

[@qigonglungz]

This is a special game... my favorite parts are whenever I was not directly on a story mission and I could freely just hunt and trap... this game is sooo very special and I remember how much of a breath of fresh air it was because NO ONE had a similar game to this... and Oddworld Abe couldn't prepare you for the creative gameplay of this game.... I didn't know what to expect and it blew me away...

[@doomguydemonkiller]

This game deserves a remake/sequel so bad. Nonetheless it’s still an incredible game by itself.

[@Rondog.]

Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee was my introduction to the Oddworld games, loved it as a kid

[@TheFreyExperience]

I’ve waited so so so long for you to play this. The nostalgia and forgotten memories unlocked. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@N7-alpha]

Such a absolute classic game .

[@rca1493]

Saw the title & instantly related! My Brother Kemp & I were practically raised on this game. Our dad always quoted the chicken characters

[@buttered__toast_2899]

My dad refers to every cat we’ve owned as Fuzzles. A lot of gems were lost time time that had the unfortunate fate of being released around Halo in its prime. I’ll never forget Oddworld though

[@hunglo9917]

Right there with you my friend. I’ve beaten this game at least a dozen times and I never get tired of it. I wish they would make a sequel.

[@StarRuin]

Same. A sequel would be so awesome for such a great game like this!

[@soni_nyc2829]

This game was awesome!! So much fun! One of the best games I ever played.

[@arthurdurham]

Was introduced to this game by the surprisingly good android port. Had a lot of fun playing it

[@Pitabrot]

I swear when I read it's 18 years old, I thought this must have been the best graphics available back then

[@GiuseppeAngelino95]

Yeah, the Androif versione and the Switch Port are basically the same, good ones😊

[@gabrielcaro]

Started replaying this one on the Nintendo switch. It has quickly jumped up to one of my top 10 most favorite games. Honestly it’s a gem. :)

[@mermaidinamanhole5796]

Woah! I remember seeing this on a gaming magazine in a bookstore near us. Being a kid back then, I bought this cheap magazine to cut out pictures for a school project. But most of the time I just look at the images, and imagine how this game feels like when playing it. Growing up I never had any video games, not even a phone. This video just popped up in my recommendations and all the memories went back. Now I can atleast say I have some decent platforms in terms of gaming (console/pc). But this makes me appreciate everything even more.

[@williamponce5907]

This 10000% deserved a sequel, this game was soo much fun. The cheats were so crazy

[@illuviium]

I’ve never ever ever played ,seen or heard of this game. But I’m 100000% familiar with old video game nostalgia. I can literally feel the nostalgia he’s getting from some of these sound effects and graphics you’d typically hear and see in an old game like this. Just janky, low budget, low brow but still fun sound effects a lot of early games had. I can feel the nostalgia he’s recieving from a game I’ve never even heard of. That’s cool. The human brain is crazy stupid powerful
