I like to think the OddWorld Inhabitants team created this game specifically to prove that they can write a badass protagonist just as well as they can a goofy one.
The craziest thing about this game for me was how it changes so drastically in the second half. You go from hunting down these outlaws in a very linear gameplay loop to being this savior for a forgotten people with a noble cause. The gameplay loop changes to reflect that you aren't just fighting outlaws...now you are fighting a full-fledged war.
I know, right? What I also found interesting, it’s that after Stranger get’s revealed, he becomes more agile, because his legs are no longer bound inside boots.
I just love how Lorne Lanning voices all of his main characters - Abe, Munch, and Stranger. He also voices Alf, among other side characters. He's really good! I bet he'll voice Squeek...if or when Squeek's Oddysee ever gets made.🙏
dont mean to be negative but i think theres a very slim chance that game will be made bc now all the games will be about abe... which sucks... maybe they can do more spin off's after the last game but i think squeek and the 2 other oddysee's that werent made wont ever happen.... but time can only tell
Yes. In fact, a Steef is now what I think centaurs would look like if they were real. Just tell me Stranger doesn’t look like a scientifically accurate centaur.
I know this comment is three years old, but you’re absolutely right. Gaming has changed and it really is a tragedy that they don’t make gems like this anymore.
26:09 I always wondered if *Stranger really knew where to find more steefs or was he just kidding.* If that's the case and considering that Sekto would only pay 20,000 moolah for a fresh head, it means that Stranger wouldn't hesitate to kill one of his kind to pay for his surgery. That's savage but it wouldn't be weird considering he cut off his horns and hides his true nature under his clothes, maybe for shame, survival or he doesn't consider himself worthy of being a steef. Definitely, *Stranger is one of the most complex, mysterious and coolest characters in Oddworld.* Stranger's Wrath is my favorite game in the saga and I hope they release a sequel one day to clarify many of the questions that remain unanswered.
my guess was he was going to give his horn that he proably hid somwhere as proof that he got the steed but make the excuse the body got destroyed, he already did some bounties at the point so he cleary isn’t going for the full price of the steed head, just enough to finish small needed
Oddworld: SW, Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden, Time Splitters, GTA SA, Resident Evil 4, Mechassault 1+2, Darkwatch, and finally Destroy All Humans. Watching MTV and VH1 before school.....I miss it man
@@ChristianFrates1997I also think Steef are just slow talkers in general, like how you’d expect an elephant to speak. Stranger likes to mumble a lot with his sentences, too (god bless you Lorne Lanning). Does that mean the Steef language uses a lot of vocables? (utterances that aren’t considered words).
I grew up watching my dad and brother play this i always thought stranger was so cool and now i'm older i now think that he's a badass with a heart of gold
I love the lil newt guys dialogue. “That’s like our last boat man, so yknow. Be careful with it” “The wolvarks are attacking last legs, that’s like… really bad man, it’s our last city, or hangout… it’s more like a village but yknow. YA GOTTA HELP US MAN”
I think this was the first game that really gave such awe when it ended. Like I understood there was more to games than just shooting or collecting things.
Hilariously, he might even be one of the constellations. Sagittarius. Not just because he was a centaur, but because he's still technically a centaur, his main weapon of choice is a cross-BOW, and the Steffs were supposed to protect water, Virgo's water.
I've never really played any Oddworld games, but from the clips I've been watching, it seems like their writing and world building is excellent. Unfortunately, the voice acting and dialogue seems a little stilted. Maybe that's part of the charm. But for example Stranger sounds like he's on something and also maybe recovering from a lobotomy.
Well, Stanger is (SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T STUMBLED UPON A VERY SPECIFIC LINE OF DIALOUGE) A Steef, and it's outright said Steefs are incapable of speaking. His dialouge is inetionally stilted as foreshadowing. He likely taught himself to speak English (Oddlish?) to blend in.
All main characters are voiced by one dude the creator of this game and the claim of drugs or post lobotomy is completely baseless it’s a classic southern mysterious badass it’s almost Clint Eastwood or sam Elliot impression
grew up with oddworld. was 6 when oddysse came out. 24 now and watched this whole video. installed munches oddysse on pc following strangers rath hd soon to relive these epic tales. new game coming mid 2017 for those interested. will definatly be playing it. there is a bit of oddysee in us all :)
exodus from original classic point of view. and i completely agree that munches oddysee is the best 3d play through. like each mission is a slightly harder test of your skills well giving a great insite on all the cast at the same time. also the cut scenes are epic
Played this game when i was a kid. Could never remember the name. I have found it. I must search high and low to acquire this game, no matter what. I'll do it even if the sky is falling.
Yeah I played this game back in 2005 but the glitches where awesome especially at the end where you fight the last boss and you were able to get on stage and kill the two 🐙
7:24 "So, which button activates the timer again?" "The blue one." "You sure? I thought it was the green one." "Look! I'm telling you -- it's the blue one!" "Okay, okay! Jeez -- I'll push the green one." "Oh no! You idiot!!"
i still don't understand what his plan was. he needs 20k for the surgery that makes him not look like a steef, but he offers to find one for 20k that is himself? what?
ODDWORLD INHABITANTS WANTED TO PUBLISH ANOTHER ODDWORLD GAME BUT THEY WERENT BOTHERED TO PUBLISH IT THE GAME WAS CALLED : THE BRUTAL BALLAD OF FANGUS KLOT
ODDWORLD STRANGER'S WRATH I personally think that fangus klot is kind of dumb in my opinion. I don't know I just think it dosnt look like it takes in the world. I'd prefer to see squeeks oddysee. thankfully Lorne lanning is restarting all his unused games after soulstorm
ODDWORLD STRANGER'S WRATH now hold on, I agree that fangus klot doesn't fit in this world but I'd highly recommend you play abes oddysee and exoddus and maybe munches Odyssey if your curious. it's very cinimatic and has different gameplay then this. it has a remake available called new n tasty and another remake called soulstorm coming soon too
Okay, so I fought this guy the other night, and yeah, he's pretty damn hard. You basically need to know how to aim right and always point at the general direction of where he's going to be when he makes a move for the front of the switch so you can blast him as soon as he gets in front of the crosshair. But not too late so you can quickly jump to another platform after quickly exiting first person (it's possible to just double jump to the next platform in first person by leaping to the side while still aiming at the next switch, but that's also really hard to pull off consecutively). Anyway, you need to hit Freely with a Zapfly first, and THEN a Thudslug to quickly take down his stamina bar. You basically gotta do it all while staying up on the platforms because if you fall off, you're gonna have to deal with him chasing you and wasting time getting lined up with another platform from the steam-vents. The more time you fritter, the more stamina he'll regain and the more ammo you'll waste.
Question: Is the Steam Port of this game good, or should I buy an original Xbox copy? Because I completely skipped over this game when I was younger, and seeing as how it has such high ratings, I'm really curious about playing it.
Not really, though in one of the early storyboards for Stranger’s Wrath when D. Caste Raider picks up the papers on the Steef legs procedure. Amongst the papers that fall off Stranger was a Wanted poster for Abe and Munch.
In the first half of the game i thought the game would loop more and more because it was kinda repetitive with doing bounties and switching to new towns but then you suddenly end up on a freaking battlefield. But even though the gfirst half was repetitive, would they have added some type of character progress system even that would be ebough without the whole war part
As a fan since 6 yrs old and now 23 lol I didn't care for this at all happy about New and Tasty though plus this character looks like the gorganite from toy soldiers

Best game of 2005
You know time spitter ?
I know, right? What I also found interesting, it’s that after Stranger get’s revealed, he becomes more agile, because his legs are no longer bound inside boots.
Abe. Munch. And Steef the Stranger. Hope all of 3 Will meet some day. Abe and munch have done that. But mot Steve. Hope He Will mitt them both.
@@dominics.8796 he's also far stronger and can knock enemies flying. It's as if he was hiding his true strength so people wouldn't get suspicious
8:44 I love his freakout. I never get tired of hearing it.
I just love how Lorne Lanning voices all of his main characters - Abe, Munch, and Stranger. He also voices Alf, among other side characters. He's really good! I bet he'll voice Squeek...if or when Squeek's Oddysee ever gets made.🙏

That moment when you realize Stranger is the personification of Sagittarius because he's a centaur with a crossbow.
He’s more of a Satyr
@@anthonyespinoza4250 (spoiler)
He has 4 legs. He's a Steef.

Bro's a Lynel
Yes. In fact, a Steef is now what I think centaurs would look like if they were real. Just tell me Stranger doesn’t look like a scientifically accurate centaur.
I must have beat this game over 50 times growing up. This game was my childhood. They don’t make em like this anymore. Amazing game.

I hope you’re right about that sequel someday; but I think that Stranger’s more interested in surviving than anything else!

Hopefully after soulstorm sequel we would get another stranger wrath sequel
"Come get some, Yo mama did."

20:11 "Joe Mamma ain't gonna last long wit me on her tail."
I see what he did there.
It's so witty and funny, even the stoic, no-bullshit Stranger laughs at it.
42:20 "Come and get it- Yo Mamma did."
This game really is one of a kind.
Indeed

@Washington Soares have you played the game?
@Washington Soares steff is like a lion + a horse i guess, something like that :D
I find it amusing how he seems to be always about to give up the sentences halfway.

The 2000s were the peak of video games! Stranger is a great game.
I love how the story of the Mongo River and what the Clakker said about the dam are connected.
48:16 Haha, moments like these are what made those older games great.
Jajajjajajajajaa take care of it
I love it. Darn shame there was never a sequel.
I WAS JUST PLAYING THIS GAME AND I WENT THROUGH MY CHILDHOOD I LOVED IT JUST AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE ORIGINAL RATCHET AND CLANK :)
Stranger is my spirit animal..
Hilariously, he might even be one of the constellations. Sagittarius. Not just because he was a centaur, but because he's still technically a centaur, his main weapon of choice is a cross-BOW, and the Steffs were supposed to protect water, Virgo's water.
32:30
One of the best enlightenment a game has ever taught me!
Why have they not re-mastered this bad boi?
Because the world never deserved a game so good to begin with
Discontinued Channel ikr, it got an hd remake
Damn, Sekto is creepy as heck, and he even manages to escape at the end~
He has to stay in the water unless he has a host
You know, the appearance of these outlaws make me think of them as the oddworld version of orcs
2:32 "Now that's how ye get 'em." He sounds like Sam Elliott.
I've never really played any Oddworld games, but from the clips I've been watching, it seems like their writing and world building is excellent. Unfortunately, the voice acting and dialogue seems a little stilted. Maybe that's part of the charm. But for example Stranger sounds like he's on something and also maybe recovering from a lobotomy.
Well, Stanger is (SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T STUMBLED UPON A VERY SPECIFIC LINE OF DIALOUGE)
A Steef, and it's outright said Steefs are incapable of speaking. His dialouge is inetionally stilted as foreshadowing. He likely taught himself to speak English (Oddlish?) to blend in.

There's an HD remaster for switch and android if you want to play it again. I played it on Original Xbox when it came out and it was a great game.
This needs a remake.
I adore this game so much
I know this was a while ago, but the HD remaster is on the Switch and on Android for pretty cheap

Not sure, but it feels like it's either around the same time or before. This has a 'wild west era' feeling to it.
It's around the same time. This is West Mudos. Abe lives in East Mudos.

steam port is not that bad to be honest, as a owner of both.
The steam one is really good, have both of them.
Is this game connected to the other games at all? Other than being in the same world?
Other than both being on the continent of Mudos and Doc being a Vykker, not really.
There are also Fuzzles, which are in older games. Gloktigi, which are related to the Glukkons.
Not really, though in one of the early storyboards for Stranger’s Wrath when D. Caste Raider picks up the papers on the Steef legs procedure. Amongst the papers that fall off Stranger was a Wanted poster for Abe and Munch.
