Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Without fail, hostile targets will be leaders of their own gang. And without fail, they will all be much, 'much' stronger than their minions. Of course, this could also be a case of [[Asskicking Equals Authority]].

* [[Automatic Crossbow]]: Stranger's crossbow goes full auto when he uses Stingbees.

* [[Badass]]: '''Stranger'''. Just Stranger. He has a [[Healing Factor]] in the form of ''shaking away the pain''. He's a {{spoiler|Steef}}. Lastly, he's a [[Bounty Hunter]], but he [[Doesn't Like Guns]], so what does he do? ''He uses a high-powered, double-barreled [[Automatic Crossbow]] that shoots [[Abnormal Ammo|small, but deadly, animals.]]'' Heck, one of the [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Chickens|Klakkerz]] and Doc Bandam call him a badass.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Elboze Freeley and some other bosses are described as this. The Outlaw kamikazes are also insane.

* [[Bad Powers, Bad People]]: {{spoiler|Sekto's power is controlling others by latching onto them.}}

Line 23:

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: In true Oddworld fashion, the final boss, {{spoiler|Sekto}}, is this.

* [[Cutscene Boss]]: Blisterz Booty, who gets captured in the first cutscene of the game. All you have to do is bounty him.

* [[Dead Guy On Display|Dead Grubbs On Display]]: The Wolvarks string up some dead Grubbs outside their first facility, possibly as a warning or a threat.

* [[Dead Guy on Display|Dead Grubbs On Display]]: The Wolvarks string up some dead Grubbs outside their first facility, possibly as a warning or a threat.

* [[Diesel Punk]]: Some of the later settings in the game have this feel, but it's nowhere near as prevalent as in the other Oddworld games.

* [[Doesn't Like Guns]]: Stranger.

* [[Downer Ending]]: The last boss? {{spoiler|It's the other last Steef, who unknown to ''anyone'', was possessed by Sekto, who was [[Brought Down to Normal]] but escaped and swims away in the newly freed river.}}

* [[Dual Boss]]: The two Gloktigi right before {{spoiler|Sekto}}.

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Chickens]]: The Klakkerz are humanoid chickens.

* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: The Klakkerz are humanoid chickens.

* [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]]: {{spoiler|The Klakkers turn against Stranger after he's revealed as a Steef since they now want to collect on ''his'' bounty.}}

* [[Everything's Worse ~~With~~ Bees]]: Well, the Stingbees don't make it worse for ''Stranger...''

* [[Everything's Worse with Bees]]: Well, the Stingbees don't make it worse for ''Stranger...''

* [[Evil Matriarch]]: Jo' Mamma.

* [[Evil Poacher]]: Lefty Lugnutz.

Line 52:

** Obviously, Stranger can just punch enemies at any time, but that's a [[Punched Across the Room|different trope.]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: Stranger and a lot of the Outlaws.

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: Stranger, who seems to be called such by the Klakkers only because they don't know what else to call him. His real name is never revealed.

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Stranger, who seems to be called such by the Klakkers only because they don't know what else to call him. His real name is never revealed.

* [[Outlaw]]s: Oh yeah.

* [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]]: To get access to the Black Market, Stranger has to ask around town for the password, which turns out to be {{spoiler|Molasses}}. When he actually finds the shop, Stranger ends up mangling the password {{spoiler|"Um, a mole's ass?"}}, but the owner decides that it's close enough and lets him in.

Line 61:

* [[Puzzle Boss]]: Many of the major Outlaws are this. Packrat Palooka requires you to shut off his shield and somehow knock him off his stage. Elboze Freely has an obvious weak point on his back, and only shows it if you're above him out of his range.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: You fight a total of four Gloktigi inside {{spoiler|Sekto's dam.}}

* [[Running On All Fours]]: Stranger will drop to all fours if he runs for long enough. {{spoiler|Particularly amazing considering that his actual legs, or more accurately hooves are tied together.}}

* [[Running on All Fours]]: Stranger will drop to all fours if he runs for long enough. {{spoiler|Particularly amazing considering that his actual legs, or more accurately hooves are tied together.}}

* [[Selectively-Lethal Weapon]]: The difference between killing someone with Thudslugs, punches or Zappflies and knocking them out is that a KO takes less damage. Stingbees and Fuzzles are always deadly, however.

* [[Walk It Off|Shake It Off]]: Stranger's method of regaining health is to literally shake off the pain and injury.

Line 71:

* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: [[Mook]]s have them. Stranger [[Super Not-Drowning Skills|does not]].

* [[Throwing the Distraction]]: Thanks to Chippunks and Howler Punks, this trope has never been easier.

* [[Tomato in ~~The~~ Mirror]]: {{spoiler|The Stranger, who is revealed to be The [[Last of His Kind]] as a Steef.}}

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|The Stranger, who is revealed to be The [[Last of His Kind]] as a Steef.}}

** {{spoiler|He's not necessarily the last of his own kind.}}

* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Generally averted- sure, you've only got about ten Boombats max most of the time, but there'll be more up ahead somewhere. Also averted near the end of the game when {{spoiler|the Grubbs modify Stranger's bounty device and make it generate ammo when you bounty enemies. [[Fridge Horror|They're used as food for the ammo.]]}} If you do avoid using some of the weapons, it's because you're trying not to kill your bounties.

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The upcoming [[PS 3]] version.

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The upcoming [[Play Station 3]] version.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You can beat up and/or shoot the Klakkerz in town for moolah. You can also do the same to Grubbs later in the game...but they don't give you anything. You monster.

** [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]]: If you terrorize the townschickens enough, they'll retreat into their houses and start shooting at you.
