Man, Psychonauts is such a great game. I mean the level and art design is just crazy!

As far as Advent Rising, though, I just can't get my penis up for mormanism and bad controls. Plus, the camera sucks. I could never get it to go the way I was moving. I guess the graphics are okay, but there's too much shiny for me. Music was stereotypical, too.

When it comes down to it, I'd rather be on the Doublefine Train O Love than some Orson Scott Card wankfest.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Mormanism?

 

[JackFrost2012]

Mormanism?

Mormonism.

 

[demi]

David Jaffe approved.

 

[Unison]

Phantom Dust sure rules too. It's almost enough to make you forget that Advent Rising exists!

 

[demi]

Did I mention David Jaffe?

 

[BuddyC]

My unyielding love for Psychonauts aside, Advent Rising was totally worth the $5 I paid for it. But if you're going to compare the games, well, the mere mention of Advent Rising in the same paragraph is a grand disservice to the quality of Double Fine's masterpiece.

Phantom Dust sure rules too. It's almost enough to make you forget that Advent Rising exists!

I know, Majesco's rocked pretty hard this year, outside of Advent Rising of course. I don't know how they could go so wrong.

And they're planning three of these things? Oh man, I smell bankruptcy around the corner!




P.S. Its Mormanism.

 

[poppin fresh]

I hope we get a localised phantom dust release in australia soon

 

[Dr_Cogent]

So they preach mormanism in the game? WTF?

 

[Unison]

Majesco continues to atone for Advent Rising:

 

[demi]

You know a guy who I think has it but just put out a game that- for many- is not great? Donald Mustard who was the director of ADVENT RISING. Sure, sure the game has issues but if you look beyond the crappy frame rate and other problems, there's a nice, strong heartbeat there...a really clear passion that is missing from most games....so I'm looking for a guy/gal like that....

Who wrote this!? It most certainly wasn't DAVID JAFFE, creator of the ever popular game on GAF -- GOD OF WAR!? He surely musn't like a really rubbish game such as this!

It was probably TIM SCHAFER, creator of the ever overhyped tripe game on GAF -- KATAMARI DAMACY! Could it...?

 

[Unison]

Maybe the PC version will be worth playing... If you don't mind the brainwashing!

Praising AR is like complimenting a fat chick. Sure, she's probably got a heart of gold under there somewhere, but first you have to get through all the FAT FAT FAT. Jaffe was just trying to avoid being eaten by Orson Fat Card!

Don't bring your girlfriend into the equation!

 

[Belfast]

Don't bring your girlfriend into the equation!

I'll bring your mother into any equation I feel like, chump!

 

[demi]

My brain is dead, much like Advent Rising!

 

[Unison]

+

vs.

This is no contest, really.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I eventually want to own both, but I'm waiting for the right price.

 

[demi]

Look here's my impression of Psychonauts

 

[Unison]

Is he fighting a turd there? I mean, really. :lol

 

[Ranger X]

Look at the tag.... Jotaro II...

It means he's even more an attention whore than Jotaro the first. :lol

 

[Belfast]

Look here's my impression of Psychonauts

Yeah, but people LIKE fish. They don't like Mormans.

 

[demi]

 

[Unison]

Demi, do you have something to tell us?:

 

[demi]

 

[Belfast]

STUNTCOCK!!!!!!!!

 

[Unison]

:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[demi]

Now you have to resort to editing posts!

[demi]

What is the NPD sale total for Psychoflops anyway?

 

[Speevy]

5,999,988,000 less than it deserved.

 

[johnjohnson]

I loved both Psychonauts AND Advent Rising. What's wrong with me?

 

[demi]

I can accept that, unlike MOST Psychodrones!

 

[Ghost]

Gideons psychic powers totally own Raz's though, i think that makes Advent Rising the clear winner.

 

[Belfast]

 

[raYne]

Is he fighting a turd there? I mean, really. :lol

Are you referring to the boulders in the background?

 

[Tarazet]

I eventually want to own both, but I'm waiting for the right price.

How about $60 plus shipping for a copy signed by TIM SCHAFER from doublefine.com? Only 50 will ever exist. :thumbs

 

[demi]

5,999,988,000 less than it deserved.

Did it really sell ~22k?

 

[Unison]

Did it really sell only 22k?

Demi can't add. :lol

 

[Speevy]

12,000, actually. Check the math. (rough estimate of world population, though)

 

[demi]

12k? Boy, sounds like it sold like gold.




p.s. it was a typo :blush:

 

[Applefiend]

Wait for the Windows version, all your graphics demons will be slain...

 

[Truelize]

P.S. Its Mormanism.

P.S. It's Mormonism. If you are gonna bring it up every freakin thread that talks about Advent Rising then at least spell it right.

 

[dark10x]

Do you say this based on experience or assumption?

 

[Unison]

12k? Boy, sounds like it sold like gold.

Yeah, a few people not on GAF bought it.

 

[Applefiend]

Entirely based on faith.

 

[demi]

Does the 12k include the returns soon after?

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I knew Psychonauts wouldn't do well. Not because I don't think it's a good game, because it is, but because the general market doesn't eat up quirky games like that.

 

[Belfast]

P.S. It's Mormonism. If you are gonna bring it up every freakin thread that talks about Advent Rising then at least spell it right.

Uh. I'm pretty sure its Mormanism. Go look it up in a dictionary or something.
