Be Right Back, Uninstalling

This is the thread about Psychonauts. I did want to point out however, to everyone who bought the game yesterday that hasn't already played it. Theres a level with a party and a sort of 360 skating ramp and flowers you hop on. Look all around that large vertical room for a secret entrance. It's worth your time. 

I didn't know about this, excuse to replay!

Hell, just Boyd's mind is enough of an excuse to replay.  Plus the secret movie if you get to max level.

For $2...bought it last night....and it will get placed in the long queue of "shit I need to play"

This.  I've still barely started Mass Effect.

That's on my list too.  Except Psychonauts is in the "low priority" category and I'll probably end up picking it up later when I get through all the other games I want to play first.

God Psychonauts is amazing, I bought it from the bargain bin at some dept store way back in the day, honestly one of the better games I've played in the last 5 years

Bought it. I have no plans to actually play it anytime soon since I've already beaten it twice, but I feel like I should actually give them some money (first playthrough was a rental, second time was when it was free on Gametap).

If any of yall haven't played Psychonauts, it should definitely be top priority.  It's better than Mass Effect 2, and that's saying a lot.

I wouldn't go as far to say that, but it is a really good game.

Yeah I'm not a a massive fan of quirky humor or anything but I'll enjoy it as long as there's humor to be had.  Just probably not at "holy shit I must have this now" levels of enjoyment.

Seriously? Mass Effect never even struck me as a good game in the first place. I will probably never play ME2.

You see, I've never really understood why Psychonauts is considered a masterpiece. I mean, I enjoyed it and it was definitely worth $10...but I've never really known why people froth at the mouth when they glorify its existence.

Because it's one of the best examples of interactive storytelling outside of adventure games. RPGs are full of grind and adventure games can have a narrow audience, but through a platformer a game was created that balanced fun and innovative (at the time) gameplay with solid storytelling and humor. It's like being a part of a movie.

I guess I just can't really see it that way. I mean, for everybody who loves it, good for you. I just can't seem to get into the whole "Psychonauts is one of the best games you will ever play" jive.

It was UP before UP was created. Kind of. It's got the exact same feel to it.

Psychonauts definitely does not have innovative gameplay and didn't even when it was released. However, it's still a great traditional platformer, has an original, hilarious story, and has great visual design.
