I replayed Oni recently and I… I kind of didn’t really enjoy it despite loving it on release. Maybe it is I who has a problem.

Bobsy, your posts in that thread are excellent. Keep them up.

Oni is good and some levels you can totally subvert. I cant believe that they later farted out halo after the mobility and grace oni afforded.

Sure, the level design suffered from the “visit every room in this complex” trait, but it at least ended up feling like a place rather than a level.

Well, note that Iceland is pretty down my list of Imperial Priorities (which sounds like a pretty classy brand of delicious minty biscuit). First I have to sort out Austria, and consolidate my navy which is a total mess right now and…

Sigh. I only want to go there because the King of Iceland (nee Denmark) is constantly whining and crying and I want to shut him the hell up. Oh, and it might open up America but who knows, eh?

I know of Oni, just haven’t played it.

Hey, the important people noticed the original post, just not these glorified press statement reiteraters. And could somebody disagree with me about Oni, as the positive affirmation is becoming weird. Somebody at least call it unoriginal or something, or the authorities’ll turn up.

Lord, Oni’s really good. Never understood why more people haven’t played it.

Yes, it would be great if Oni was somehow sold through the Internets. I remember that I got it, because it came with a magazine I was buying regularly. Sadly, I lost my CD. Go, go internet distribution!

I was more impressed by the number of people mentioning Oni in the Underrated Stuff thread, since I think I’ve only met one person since it was released who’d heard of it.
(And, disappointed that I don’t think anyone has mentioned Hostile Waters yet, although I think that was genuinely more ‘obscure’ than ‘underrated’.)

Talback-o-tron?

And boo, for my post about the Lucasarts-art back in February not being noticed until it was reposted in April.
Nobody listens to me grumble, grumble, etc.

Why would you do this bi-weekly when there is a latest 10 posts at the bottom of the forum page? Ah-ha-ha.

I vote RPS holds a massive no-holds-barred Empire brawl, where the winner takes Iceland for themselves.
