Psychonauts
 

who else here has played the awesome game " psychonauts" ? if none of you have played it you should. It's a great game ( espicely for those who like to collect stuff in games)

No idea at all...

Yes, I was going to make this topic, but I'm such a lazy ass. One of the best games I have ever played. Definitely the best game I've played for the Xbox.

Now where's Nepharski?

I wish I had more money.

I would buy that thing in a heartbeat. I love the style.

You and me both, it would seem.

"Well, I've reviewed your charts, and I'm afraid we're going to have to remove that brain...strap it, into an armored battle tank...and make it shoot down innocent civilians with it's concentrated psychic death beam!!! The good news is, your insurance will cover the whole thing."

PsychoNauts is, in brief...a masterpiece. Nothing short of genius. How would one desribe it? Imagine a Tim Burton-esque world inwhich Sigmund Frued and Monty Python melded together.

All sensationalism aside, though, it's a great game. I don't want to spoil the plot or anything, but Double Fine has succeed at creating, "depth," in characters. You'll feel for the cast as you unlock their pasts and memories...even one of the villians will pull on your heartstrings.

The only excuse not to by this game is...wait, there isn't any.

Aaaaaand, that's my product placement for the day. :)

I wanted to buy the game, at least rent it, but anyone know how long it is?

I'm actually near the end, myself. It's main flaw could be that it is somewhat overly short. Personally, I judge games by quality over quanity, so...

>_<
 

I didn't know it had come out yet. Dear god, Psychonauts is out and I don't own it!

Every image, movie clip, website, and review I have seen from/about/of it makes it look absolutely incredible. I MUST have it. Time to start saving up some dough.

The ending's was pretty good, but I hate to collect those damn figments. I can never seem to find them!

POTENTIAL SPOILER-WARNING!

Yeah...I like going back and finding the memory vaults, though. Some of them made me tear up inside (Poor Oleander :().

I'm at the beginning of, "Meat Circus."

By this I presume you mean item-based RPGs, am I correct?

I've seen and played plenty of these games in the past but none have really "done it" for me... Diablo II came the closest to the kind of thing I wanted, but it wasn't really good enough.

No, like Crash Bandicoot-item-collecting... though not as repetative as Crash

There is some manditory collecting, but yes, it's more like Crash Bandicoot, as opposed to the Knuckles' levels in Sonic Adventure (Some of which were pure and unleaded evil, I might add).

I remeber seeing it on the first Oddworld coverage show thing... It looked (from a design standpoint) rather A Nightmare Before Christmas-esque. And I like that. I say it warrants a hire...

I didnt know it was out either. Must save up my money now :D

SPOILERS!
Yeah, many of them are pretty sad, like Milla's.

I liked the Milkman Conspiracy the best though, since I'm like that sometimes. ;)

"My milk is fortified with what the world wants, with what the world deserves,"

Now that part was creepy.

GENERIC SPOILER ALERT

Yeah. :(

Now we know why she cares for the children so much.

BTW: do you know where Sasha Nien's second memory vault is? I only found Sasha's First Lost.

That was definitely the funniest level. I defy anyone who doesn't laugh at the G-men.

"They got Freddy. He was a good secret agent...I mean assassin."

"Plants need to be watered, for they have no hands with which to hold glasses."

"Though I work in excrement, I deserve your respect, for I provide a valuable public service."

And of course...the Girl Scout Mafia. XD

I went out and bought the game, one of the best games I have ever played. But I'm stuck at a part in the game.

SPOILER... I think...

When you meet Lili during night at the docks and she gets kidnapped by the fish, you go in the water. When I have to fight the fish though (when it sucks up the air), I can't find out what to do. Can anyone help me?

Spoilers


I think the vualt is hiding on another side of the cube during one of the transformations. (forgot which though.)

Now when fighting the lungfish, break the boxes of nails when he is inhaling.

Jeez, I'm banning myself from this thread 'cos of the proliferation of spoilers. I've played the demo but the game is not even out here yet and won't be until after I leave the country in (*counts*) 37 days.

Your misfortune makes me snicker.

I purchased the game yesterday. By far, one of the best games I've ever played, and I'm not very far into it at all. I haven't gone into any minds yet except Oleander's, Sasha's, and Raz's (just the first time). But I'm lovin' it.

They could not have found a more perfect voice for Raz than Richard Horvitz.

General props fo tha gizzame, dawg.

EDIT: The Neighborhood part of The Milkman Conspiracy is giving me trouble. Does anyone know of any online walkthrough guide type thingies? They might not have had time to write them yet...

Thank you Al.

None yet. What I do know, though, is that after you beat that level, all the G-men disappear, thus allowing for easier navigation. Why do they leave? You'll see. :D

I've beaten the game, so PM me your spoiler-ific problem (If you have one), and I'll be more than willing to lend a helping hand.

P.S. Anyone find either of the Lungfish memories? I have found the other 17, and just need those two.

This game is simply amazing. I love it, it is a masterpiece!
...All right, all right, I am renting it, big deal...
I loved Grim Fandango, so I just *had* to play this when it came out.
Those of you who have not played this unspeakably good game...
WHATTA YA WAITING FOR?!

I don't think it's out in the UK yet, at least I havn't seen it in any shops lately.

Divine intervention, most likely.

Sorry, can't remember where those are.(Vaguely remember one by that large prison, but I'm not sure).

This game was great. I completed it with 100 percent. got every single figment in the game. Look at that woman. She has big breasts.

Nice. Very nice.

Did you find every memory and scavenger hunt item, cause that's where I need some assistance.

Yup. I found everything. Ask away.

Well, a list of the location of every savenger hunting item would be nice (NOT how to get it, but where to get it). Other than that, just tell me where the two Lungfish memories are, and the emotional baggage for the Milkman Conspiracy.

Please PM. Thanks.
