it was waaaaaay too short. but god damn it was amazing... orgasmic even. ok not really but it was really good. i noticed something though that kind of pisses me off. after you beat the game you cant go back into the real world (like the camp) and you dont really save a game after you beat the final bosses. is there a way around this? but still the game was amazing. if you've played it tell me what you think of it.

It's still free with gametap, isn't it?
Yes there was. If you got a 100% completion you got a special little bonus clip. You can find it on youtube though which for some strange reason is not loading for me... >_>;
.....WTF?? Someone would collect all those webs and such for a 1 minute clip?!
And I regret nothing
You don't know much about most collectathons do you? Guess what you got for getting all of the stars in Super Mario Sunshine.
What did you get for all the stars in Sunshine?
Well, there technically weren't stars, but I forgot what they were called.

God, that would have pissed me off so much. I guess it's not the destination, but the journey. Or something...
It's called 'the point of no return' for a reason buddy
Still though, i might rebuy Psychonauts for PC via steam, especially if it's only $10. I have it for xbox and while it handled like a dream, I really don't want to ever have to plug that stupid thing in ever again.
's a shame it didn't sell better, though.
It felt like: Oh hey here are 3 random levels to make the game longer! And I was all, "nah Im good"
Yeah, I have to agree. The game would have had a much better structure had they just gotten rid of figments altogether - at the very least.
It's just a weird design decision, and it surely didn't help the game's sales.
(Yes, I got all of them, too
Man no.
The Napoleon one was still pretty awesome, and so was the Spanish guy's one (at least in terms of atmosphere) The theatre one is pretty boring though, and the asylum jumping puzzle and FUCKING MEAT CIRCUS are, well, you know.
It's currently free on gametap, along with Tomb Raider: Legend, Just Cause, Second Sight, Darkstar One, Hitman: Codename 47 and Earthworm Jim.
Being a completionist completely ruined this game for me.
I should probably finish it someday.
I eventually put the invinsibility cheat on, and it still took me ages to complete that part..
Anybody else have traumatising memories of that part?
oh dear god that part was a nightmare. it took me hours to finally get up the winding climbing walls. i would allways fall between the first and second. i didnt even realize i could use levitation until i had reached the flaming hoops. probably wouldnt have helped though. and Aldo you mentioned that your hoping for a part two? is there any signs of that happening? and is double fine still in busyness?
The problem with Psychonauts was that everyone was raving on and on about it and everyone loved it, but hardly anyone actually bought it. You can't start a thread here about 'suggest me games' without at least someone mentioning Psychonauts, but it hardly netted Tim Schafer any money.
True, but then you have crazies like me that bought it multiple times. First for PS2 and then another copy for the Xbox (which I don't own). I also did this for The Bard's Tale because I am crazy.
The theater level is kinda meh (the plays are awesome though), but the game gets better after it.
Second Sight. Psi-Ops.
It seems that the theatre level is so late and such a change from the other levels that makes it kind of grating. I believe that the theatre level was the first one fully fleshed out, which may help to explain why people like it the least. Well except for the meat circus of course, but that's a given.
Anyone who has stopped at that level really needs to finish the game. It is very much worth it. Even more so if you did not play the Napolean or bull fighting levels.

Some just aren't as good.
The theater was probably my least favorite. Though the later area in that level is pretty cool.
I must be one of the only people who kind of liked the meat circus. Even though it was pretty cheap, I welcomed the challenge. And I thought the rising water room was fucking cool.
Any Star Wars game.
The Witcher, although, no force grip there. :P
No, if there's anything to legitimately whine about, it's the frickin' confusion rats. Goddamn confusion rats!
TBH I'm not so sure I loved the game aspect (Although the fact that it was a solid platformer certainly helped) as it was that I just loved the writing and the art design and the whole... insane philosophy of the game.
Also, every character in the game has unique reactions to every power you use. Some even have hard-coded reactions to powers you shouldn't have yet, like Clairvoyance.
