  1. Psychonauts hate thread

    Just finished the game. Ace in every way except for: But everything else was amazing. Now I'm a little sad that it's done. Time for Jade Empire I guess

    In reply to LeChimp I know the game got good reviews. That's why I bought it myself (I didn't have a demo to try out). But I've played so many games just like it, and it really didn't have anything new to offer. In place of spells, you have super powers, and in place of slashing people with swords, you do it with your fists. Maybe Co-op but games like Baldur's gate (on the PS2/XBOX) have co-op in them. Even the presentation is very dated. The graphics look like something from the late 90's. You mentioned Far Cry vs Doom. In Far Cry, the graphics are breath taking, the AI is amazing, and you have vehicles. It even has stealth in it. I was just giving Freedom force as an example of a super-hero game that does it right. It is funny, witty, very original, and fun to play. Would you have loved the game if you were impartial to the X-Men and not as big of a fan?

    I knew someone was going to come out and say what about Diablo??? See unlike X-Men Legends, Diablo was fun to play, and the game was made 8 years ago. The world of Diablo was much more addictive than the one X-Men Legends came up with. If Diablo was released in this day and age, I'll doubt that it would have the impact it had back then. X-Men legends is a lame excuse of putting X-Men skins on any generic hack n slash game. Even the graphics are pathetic. And then of course there is the infamous co-op. If a game has co-op, it's instantaneous good fun with your buddy?? Uhhh no sorry. If you remove the skins, you end up with "Enter a generic hack n slash game in the blank". I mean can you compare God of war to X-Men legends? And they sell for the same price. You want a fun Comic book game? Pick up Freedom force and give it a try. That game is 10 dollars cheaper, and a gazillion times more fun.

    Are we talking about the same X-MEN Legends? That game sucks ass. I also payed 49.99 for it because of all the "Rave" reviews Here's the game, you enter a screen, beat everything up or use a special force, move into the next one, beat everything up or use a special force, when your health goes down use a health flask, when the mana goes down use a mana flask, and then after a while you get points to spend on your characters. And then you do it, over and over and over and over... Sounds familiar? You want hack and slash, play god of war. That's a game worth every penny.

  7. Expenses

    Thank Microsoft's HD era, games are going to be more expensive in general in the next generation. They will be more expensive to make, and the cost will be brought down to us, the sheep. EA said that they couldn't produce enough of its $54.99 Madden special edition, and that it was an experiment to see if people are willing to pay more than 49.99 for a game they really like. If the sales of Half-life 2 and DOOM 3 are any indication, people are willing to pay 54.99 (me included) on a brand new spanking hot title.

    While monkeydang is tapping into your system and stealing all your credit card information. Could be a trojan you know.

    1800 numbers are toll free numbers in the US, but I don't know about the rest of the world though. Why don't you ask someone here to call them for you.
  11. Psychonauts hate thread

    Majesco has really screwed up the PC release of the game. From delayed shipments, to sending the wrong versions of discs, they really show immaturity in publishing a game. Is this the first PC game they publish?
  12. Tim Schafer on Icons today on G4

    I think you are talking about the interview with the guy and the 2 girls. Yeah that show was retarded. This one is a show about hallmarks in gaming history, and there are no hosts, just Tim talking. Like a documentary about Tim
  13. Tim Schafer on Icons today on G4

    It's the best show I have seen on G4. It goes from double fine's crunch time development of psychonauts where you see where tim works and meet all his employees, to all the games he worked on. The show is usually half an hour long, but for Tim, they made it one hour. And netmonkey, the whole show was a big tribute for Tim and his greatness. I really hope someone has taped it
  14. Psychonauts = 9.5 from OXM

    Computer gaming world gave it a 5 stars also. http://cgw.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3139777&did=4 "I suspect Psychonauts is going to kill on the consoles, and ordinarily I might suggest you buy a console version, especially if you don't have a gamepad for your PC—in general, games like this simply play better on a console. But I'm not going to suggest that. Psychonauts is, for once, a well-done PC platformer—so well done and so very good looking, it's worth buying a gamepad for it."
  15. Go Team Xbox

    From the 15 minutes or so that I played the game, I really didn't think it was that great either. I think it's a mix between prince of persia moves (wall walking, wall climbing, swinging on poles) and intense action. Now if I can get past the first boss, I can have a better idea of how well the game plays, but this game is for the extreme hardcore and I am but a
  16. Go Team Xbox

    I just rented Ninja Gaiden, trying to kill time till I get Psychonauts. I can't even get past the first boss. My god this game is difficult. How do you kill the damn boss with the Nunchaks.
  17. Psycho Store

    Hey JoeX111, I just got an email from EBGames saying that they shipped Psychonauts for the PC You should be getting anytime soon.
  18. PCI-Express vs. AGP?

    PCI Express is faster than AGP and it's the newer technology. Just like now, PCI graphics cards are pretty much obsolete, in a few years, AGP will be most probably obsolete. And then it will be a pain in the ass to upgrade your graphics card, because you'll need a new motherboard. Get the PCI Express
  19. POP3 still generic, still raging

    They have now up a website http://www.princeofpersiagame.com/us/ that is supposed to "tease" us.
  20. POP3 still generic, still raging

    Hold on let me get this straight... The prince in warrior within is not dark enough, so now you have an even darker prince to play???????
  21. Well I think Majesco did a wonderful job of marketting the game. You saw it in tons of magazine before it was released, and then you had a commercial for it on Howard Stern (a radio talk show here in America with 7+ million listeners mostly in the 18-40 age group), and Tim was on Gamespot's On the spot, and even more mainstream on G4tv. And I've seen its commercial on MTV a few times. That's great marketting, and Majesco was a wonderful find for Double Fine. EA killed Oddworld Stranger's wrath because they didn't market it well.
  22. That's the nice part of LA isn't it? I was mugged close to USC (downtown). The guy stuck a gun in my back and said that my wallet was his. I just gave it to him. I didn't have much money on me thank god, but I had to go through the trouble of changing all my credit cards afterwards.
  23. I was once mugged in downtown LA. After that, I never set foot there at night.
  24. POP3 still generic, still raging

    It's amazing. Ubisoft has managed to go from my most favorite publisher, to my second despised one after EA, and they managed to do that in one year.
  25. Psychonauts hate thread

    I just caved in and rented the XBOX version. I'm realy pissed off at Majesco right now
