Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
What I've learned from watching this LP is that you actually don't need to press the "use" key nearly as often as I used to think. Lots of things that I thought you had to "use", you can punch-to-activate instead, and that's what raocow's been doing most of the time. It's apparently actually really rare that you need the "use" key to proceed.Alice wrote: ↑7 years agoI'm actually really curious how he has managed to consistently forget that button throughout this entire LP despite needing to use it fairly often.YelseyKing wrote: ↑7 years agoWhile only a few minutes earlier, fighting an epic battle with and throwing everything he has (except that obscure "examine" button) at an outhouse door.

Psst Mr. Cow, the Cruller you are looking for is not the one in the lab, but the one in the Wilderness, outside of Sasha's lab. Remember he has different personalities and all that stuff, so you have to talk to "Ranger" Cruller, not "Agent" Cruller.

Oh thank god raocow is not going after all the figments! The rest of the collectibles are pretty manageable.

Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
You slowly go mad, as there are hundreds per stage, and in places like Milla's Dance Party, Black Velvetopia, and Waterloo World, blend in incredibly well with the backgrounds at times. And some of them *move*.SAJewers wrote: What happens if you do happen to go for all the figments?
Collecting *all* the figments, along with basically every *other* collectable, gets you rank 101. Which is bragging rights and little else. You get power upgrades until rank 95, a bonus ending scene at rank 100. Is it worth it? Probably not, unless you're a completionist. I did it. I'd do it again. But I'm also... well, kind of crazy that way. So.

Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
I mean it wouldn't be so bad if raocow had been more studious about picking up the ones he saw, but
I don't want him to go after them (or if he does do it off camera or something)

BTW, raocow. There's one more noteworthy thing to get in Waterloo World. It's not *essential*, but it's kind of nice. Check the rooftops.

Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
So Milla's name is actually pronounced with the L's? I always thought it was "Mi-ya", like in the Spanish manner. "Mill-a" just sounds so... wrong.

okay we found the one thing everyone was screaming at you to find, LP is over now gg

Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
Its almost silly in how dark that is. Like whats the most dark tragic backstory we could give a character? made even more dark because
she's psychic and could therefore sense the children's agony as they were burned alive calling for help.
Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
I'm not a fan of that Milla nightmare room/vault. On top of being over-the-top dark and depressing, it's not really relevant to the game and comes completely out of nowhere, clashes pretty seriously with Milla's stage/character/other vault, and is dropped right in the middle of a game that plays fatal accidents for laughs. I guess they were going for the idea that Milla's carefree party-all-the-time nature is a coping device to suppress her trauma, but when that development is irrelevant and doesn't mesh well with the tone of the rest of the game, it just feels completely unnecessary.
Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
Apparently it was gonna play a bigger part of the game but was dropped late in development. Those two out of nowhere bosses in Milkman Conspiracy were made for it and were just stuck in because they didn't want to waste them.kitikami wrote: ↑7 years ago I'm not a fan of that Milla nightmare room/vault.

Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
Except for Valve, who don't know what time constraints are.
But in their case the worst evil is their own lack of interest.

Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
It would be less jarring if the other mindscapes also had hidden nightmare zones, I think. That'd actually be pretty cool, seeing what all the characters' worst fears/experiences are. And it'd be a better way of showing off Gloria's backstory than just dumping dull exposition on the player.
My main problem with it though is that Milla just doesn't shut up when you find it. It would've honestly been a lot creepier and more effective if she just didn't say anything at all when you found it.

My main problem with Psychonauts is that it just doesn't shut up when you do anything. It would've honestly been a lot better and more atmospheric if it just let its creative character designs and environments speak for themselves.

I'm glad raocow managed to find the puppy orphanage, I was worried he'd miss it due to his unwillingness to destroy things.

Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
Who says those are mutually exclusive?
Re: Psychonauts - Tabletop Party of Split Personality
Would that kind of make sense in-story? If a child sees something potentially traumatizing, you do whatever you can to try and keep them calm. Considering it's going on within Milla's mindscape, there's not much more she can do besides keep talking to Raz and try to not let him focus on the traumatizing thing.
Speaking of which, does anybody know what Milla sees Raz as when you use Clairvoyance? I don't recall if you get a legit opportunity, but the developers actually give characters responses to things that you literally cannot do in-game, like the G-Men in the Milkman level having responses and voiced dialogue to the Confusion Grenades.
