BEST Matlock post in ages!!!!

 

[Speevy]

Brilliant, brilliant game.

Do you mind if I overwhelm your thread with art from the game?

 

[Rorschach]

Huh? Did it go budget?

 

[Matlock]

Is it wrong that I always think the endboss of Little Nemo is rappin? I mean, he has the pose and all.

Huh? Did it go budget?

Recieved it for free from another Gaffer for providing a service (i.e. donating toys and games to kids).

Ban demi if he posts in the love fest.

please don't ban my demi

Should be $30, at least the Xbox version is

$10 at Toys 'R' Us (for the PS2 version) = yes, I think it's fair to say that.

Glad to see another convert. The haters had me worried that nobody would like this wonderful game again.

[Oblivion]

Definitely one of the better overhyped GAF games.

 

[Companion Cube]

I didn't think it's that funny. It's humorous, but not my kind of funny so far. Just made it past the first levels and did a bit of exploring, though.

Finally, an appreciation thread worthy of my appreciation.

My milk is delicious.

I'd like to think he is.

Trash the PS2 version, get the Xbox version.

My pros and cons of doing this:

+ Much better framerate
+ Much better loading
+ Better texturing
+ Less glitching

- nothing

 

[Matlock]

I don't have an Xbox and the PS2 version was free. Framerate and textures are good to me, too, so eh.

I'll give you a free Xbox if you provide certain services to me.

Does the game get better after basic braining? I stoped after that and thought it was just an average platformer,and the only reason it's recieving praise is it's made by tim schafer

 

[Wario64]

???

Where?

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/255677.asp

Toys R Us too, I think.


I still have to play this game...I played the beginning of it and I didnt really like it. Maybe I'll bump it up on the backlog pile tomorrow? Im playing all sorts of random games right now so maybe I'll give it another go

 

[Speevy]

Buy the PC version then. Trust me. There's a significant difference between the two console versions.

Even if you're satisfied with the PS2 version, you have no idea what you're missing.

 

[Tarazet]

I'll give you a free Xbox if you provide certain services to me.

No, me me me me!

 

[StoOgE]

Such a brilliant game.

Edit: Basic Braining is very very very easy. The rest of the game is much better.

 

[puebla]

i keep hearing about this game........

can we get some pics of the best looking levels??

He is the Milkman. His milk is delicious.

I don't think you're too far off the mark. But, I'm not ashamed to say that a good part of the reason I loved Psychonauts was because of the trademark Tim Schafer humour/story/characters. He sets up this really appealing world, and this funny situations with brilliant set pieces. So if that aspect doesn't interest you, then a good deal of the games charm is gone. Aside from that, it's a fairly solid platforming game in its own right. But it won't set the world on fire, imo.

 

[Matlock]

About the level design: in basic braining...after I got to the big turret, I was like "ok I'll jump in and see what's down this OH WAIT AN ENTIRELY NEW WORLD IS DOWN HERE WHAT THE FUCK AND I'M WALKING DOWN THE WALL HOLY SHIT."

ha ha, basic braining is by far the least imaginative level too. Just wait till the milkman. ITS SOOOO GOOOD.

[Tarazet]

I really liked the boss stage that takes place on the sides of a die. I thought that was especially inventive and impressive.

 

[Speevy]

I love the milkman's post at night. That's gorgeous in itself.

that was my favorite charachter and art direction, and I loved the fights... but the puzzles in the milkman were classic tim.

 

[Teknopathetic]

I think screenshots of the game should be posted in link form. Seeing them for the first time is a much better experience.

Sheer brilliance.

[xaosslug]

i saw it for $29.99 at Wal-Mart today, almost bought it... again.

the game doesn't really start kicking ass until the powers start rolling in. oh yeahhhhh. really good/fun game indeed. but, some of the levels are really freaking frustrating.

 

[VALIS]

This thread rules and Psychonauts is quite possibly my game of the generation.

 

[bishoptl]

Is this on the Xbox 360 BC list?

 

[Unison]

Wow, this has way more posts than the Advent Rising thread!

Psychonauts sure does rock.

The Milkman Conspiracy and Lungfishopolis seem like the sorta levels a gamer never, ever forgets.

 

[Matlock]

Is this on the Xbox 360 BC list?

Nope.

 

[Speevy]

That was the puppy orphanage!

 

[Unison]

OMFG, I hope my Xbox hard drive never dies so I can play Psychonauts when I am old.

Oh wait... PC Version FTW!

 

[Speevy]

The game has sold something like 15,000 copies on the Xbox, and even less on the PS2. I don't think MS will jump through hoops to tweak that emulator for it.

 

[Speevy]

I remember the first month's sales, which were around 12k. I thought I remember that the PS2 version sold less, but I could be wrong.

Do you have the numbers?

In any case, it bombed, by anyone's estimation.

 

[Rorschach]

:lol I was just saying that because of the original poster. I already have the game and played it shortly after release. PC FOR LYFE!

 

[Chairman Yang]

Tim Schafer ROX in general, and Psychonauts is a specific instance of that ROXicity.
