Does anyone not gotten the time for The Boardroom upon completing the game? Mine keeps showing as if I haven't done even though I have the trophies and all ??

@JORDANM95 This might help?

Quite a fun game. Something worth mentioning as a time saver - when the natives ask you for passwords, you can brute force it (they'll react when you get a note wrong) or write them down as they don't seem to change between replays.

My advice is to watch some tutorials on YouTube while you're playing the level, and if you can't progress any further, save and quit, then use the video to move forward.

There are things about the saving-system/timer people defiantly should know: if you made a quicksave and then die and load the quicksave again (no matter if you do this via touchpad or over the menu) the times will always be added to your current run. The ONLY thing that stops the timer is hitting the pause button. Nothing else. I say this because I didn't knew that and the guide doesn't tell you either. And it took me like forever to find that out...

 

Anyways after 8 years and 10 months I finally finished this stupid game, where trophies bugged for me, where Abe bugged into walls for me, where the controls sucked so bad and I got angry so many times while trying to get the timer under 3 hours. 

 

Heres my times: 

 

Total Time: 02:55:50

 

Rupture Farms: 21:31

Stockyards: 24:45

Monsaic Lines: 03:32

Scrabania: 13:42

Scrabanian Temple: 25:45

Scrabanian Nests: 01:26

ZULAG 2: 09:01

ZULAG 3: 11:38

ZULAG 4: 11:50

The Boardroom: 02:53

 

 

I will never touch an Oddworld game again. Rest in Shit, Abe.

At the end, with chapter selection, Zulag 4 was done... 3 times it didn't register the better time... It was a struggle, especially considering I went from 18 minutes down to 7.
