Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

[–]sndzag1 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I am theorizing this is just a circle-jerk karama grab, here's why:

  • r/gaming is particular has been talking about Psychonauts FOREVER. In fact, it's been very recently talked about with all this Tim Schafer stuff that's been going on.

  • He doesn't mention the title of the game in the post title. I would have made a self post asking "Is Psychonauts worth $10?"

  • $10? Jackpot deal! (Probably. I don't know how much it is nowadays.)

  • Of course it's an imgur picture (thumbnail of Psychonauts omg!) of the cover. Imgur pics = Karma!

GG, r/gaming. You've played well.

[–]truestatic 7 points8 points ago

Everyone here will tell you yes.

Except me.

I honestly can't bring myself to get through it. I got a few hours in to the game, and I'm just... bored. This makes me sad, because I know how much I'm supposed to love it.

But you're more likely to be like everyone else than like me, so it's probably yes. :D

I guess, but it's not just about what I enjoy. I mean, it is, but... this particular title has a huge following, and has a great deal of critical acclaim. It didn't get those things for no reason. I want to be able to understand what it is that others see in it, even if that isn't quite what turns my crank.

It's nice to see people who dislike games without going around yelling "THIS IS OVERRATED BLAH BLAH YOU SUCK FOR LIKING IT" and crap, I see it especially with Skyrim. Personally, I agree with you. I'm sure it's great for other people, but I didn't care for it, just not my type of game.

[–]bluejacket 0 points1 point ago

i liked it a lot but i can understand it. There are some levels though that are majestic, fe the milkman level.

[–]truestatic 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I didn't get that far. I'll see if I can't force my way through the rest of the game at some point. Even if I don't grow to love it, I'd really really like to be able to understand what other people like about it.

[–]wombatmacncheese 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, YES, and DOUBLE YES. I just bought it, it hasn't aged at all, it could've been released yesterday and cost $60 dollars and i wouldn't care or notice, the art style makes up for the last generation limitations in technology. One of the first games i ever played was The Secret of Monkey Island, this game's humor is much in the same spirit and it tickles me retarded.

[–]Dreadmonkey 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I probably am going to say what others have already stated, but I'll give a try at being original.

HOLY FUCK ON A BAKED POTATO THIS GAME IS FUCKIN' WORTH EVERY PENNY YOU SPENT ON IT AND EVERY DOLLAR YOU DIDN'T SPEND.

I just bought this game myself a week ago and it does what some games only strive to be able to do: despite any flaws it has, it's good out weighs the bad (you'll have a hard time finding things that bug you) and it offers an experience unlike any other.

The story and characters are incredibly well written (what do you expect from the guy that fronted Monkey Island). The levels are creative and interesting.

My only problem is that it didn't transition that well into the pc version in terms of controls. Instead there is a bit of a curve to figuring them out, but other than that, this game is pretty damn well near perfect.

...well that's my two cents. Buy that game, you won't be sorry...ever.

[–]josshhhh[S] 2 points3 points ago

Would it be more beneficial to purchase it for the PC or the xbox 360?

[–]Patorama 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd recommend playing it with a controller, the keyboard/mouse controls don't translate real well. That being said, the PC version supports the 360 controller and supports Steam achievements, so you have options either way.

[–]SlumberlandsNemo 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Positives to either decision.

360- you want a controller for this game. It's meant for it.

PC- it's cool 360 controllers are supported by PCs.

[–]Starving_Kids 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Either, it really depends on which you prefer more. I prefer console, mainly because that's how I played it originally :3

[–]MegaPower124 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Do you have a wired controller? If so get it on the PC.

[–]FackeenOresum 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Might want to check if the XBox version gets the recent updates, the PC version was updated just last year when they released the Mac port on Steam. Definitely worth buying, playing on PC with a controller would be ideal.

[–]markevens 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you have a game pad for your PC, then either one will work.

I just used mouse and keyboard, and while that worked fine for most of the game, there were 2 or 3 parts that were very difficult because I didn't have the game pad.

[–]Balloon_Twister 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

For the PC version might i suggest PsycoPad, Its a darn sight better than the keyboard.

[–]McShizzL 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It has official 360 controller support now

[–]Balloon_Twister 0 points1 point ago

Well, usually I advise people to look at reviews and gameplay videos and see if it looks like the kind of game they'd enjoy.

But in this case, yes.

Yes it is worth 10 dollars. To me, it's worth 69 dollars. I have this game on XBox, had it on Xbox 360 originals, and have it on PC.

Its one of the few games that changed my perspective on what video games should be like. One of my top favorites.

The concept is really cool but the game is fucking hard. Could have used better controls. I bought it a while ago and I'm stuck, can't even figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. Probably worth 5 or 10 bucks, but not any more. note : even with a gamepad

[–]Anteres -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes. Yes it is. I don't own it, which I should slap myself for not buying it yet, but I have played it a few years ago when it was free around 2005 on an old, but then up and coming, digital game distribution service. I can't remember the name though, but it was kind of like onlive. You could make a free account and get access to a free package of games, but if you payed about $5 a month you got access to more. The name is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember it for the life of me.

No way, after you play this game every single other game out there will suddenly seem pointless and oblique. Those 10 dollars will make ever 60 dollar game you ever play from here on out a complete sham and you may very well maintain an expectation of video gaming that will never again be met.
