So... how much SJW shit is there? Is it bearable?

But that's wrong, the combat evolves quite a bit over the course of the game, with various upgrades as well as new abilities. My only real complaint is they should've added at least a couple more PSI powers, but otherwise the combat and platforming is a huge step up from the original game.

Shut up, retard.

It's serviceable as a video game, and as a sequel. It's just not that stellar. The first Psychonauts was borderline revolutionary in its approach to typical platforming style action games, married to a somewhat unique artstyle and very interesting hub worlds that were all self-contained, yet they had an impact on the "real world" so to speak. Here it just feels a bit phoned in. Not a bad game, but not one I'd revisit.

It's pretty pozzed, which is sad.

You should try a hobby more suited to your subhuman iq

Not so much, stronk black woman having her work stolen by mean whitey and not facing any real repercussions for mentally fucking him up over it was probably the worst of it. The twitter influence is more felt in how bland and boring a lot of the side characters are, the interns especially are just an incredibly safe and inoffensive magic schoolbus round up with no personalities.

>crowdfunded game
>sequel made over a decade after the fact
>delayed and released after the Microsoft acquisition

Psychonauts 2 should have been godawful in every facet, but for some reason the stars aligned despite everything that was going against it and I ended up loving it. Maybe not quite as much as the original in terms of sheer novelty and world variety, but it's a solid follow-up nonetheless.

I didn't want to play because I thought it'd be loaded with it but other than the vice head of the psychonauts being a black woman (yes she's annoying at first being an asshole that won't let you go on missions, but after you unintentionally give her a gambling addiction she chills out on you) and I think two gay dudes, there's surprisingly near nothing.

There is no reason to use those updates a the abilities, the game is absurdly easy and the platforming is fucking barebones.

>resetera
Go back to 2016

you're delusional, it's a generic boring game with cool environments, everything else is generic and boring, as i said, whole game feels like you're going through the motions, not to mention the obscene amount of cutscenes that interrupt the gameplay and not a single good boss fight in the entire game
The novelty of the first game wore off and this game should be 60$ in 2022, when the first game came out it was something unique, with the second one we knew exactly what to expect

It had no right being as good as it was

*should not be

He's right, get the fuck off this board newfag.

Nigga there was a black kid in the first game you're retarded

Its pretty bad. There isn't any actual romance or anything sexual in the entire game series UNTIL it literally can't stop talking about gay anal sex and gay marriage lmao.

Got a screenshot or clip of characters talking about anal sex?

Yeah you should go back to your shithole forum, you already invested everything with your censorship you idpol obsessed faggot
Thankfully neogaf is pushing hard against you faggots and the only room you have to openly discuss your faggotry and obsession towards whites is on gamingcirclejerk and resetera
Good riddance you insane faggot

My biggest complaint was that some of my favorite characters didn't get enough screentime. So I want another sequel and know it'll be another decade before that idea is even teased.

I hated the first game. Found way too many of the levels obnoxious and it forcing you to grind for spearheads for 20 minutes to get obligatory tech and upgrades the game doesn't even tell you is obligatory is utter bullshit.

The second game in comparison was my game of the year and was a fun ride all throughout.

Don't fucking bother, they ruined it. The second in command at the Psychonauts HQ is a black woman now. So brave!

Heard people say the best worlds are the first two so Casino Hospital being as tedious and heavy handed as it was does not inspire a lot of faith for the rest of the game.

That I can at least agree with, I really wish the game had a proper hard mode that drastically increased the enemy count and maybe increased some of the health of larger enemies too. A boss rush or gauntlet mode would've been cool too, all you get are those 3 enemy waves to fight in the QA though.
The cutscenes are about the same pace as the first game, minus level 2 which is an absolute slog for no good reason. The gameplay, however, is objectively a massive step up from the first game - both combat and platforming is so drastically improved that you'd honestly be delusional to claim otherwise. It controls significantly better, the animations are significantly better, the targeting system is significantly better, etc.

Not that much. Couple hamfisted "uhm, you understand how inconsiderate that was!?"-moments. Couple references to how wrong beating up animals (like in the first game) is. And a little bit of air of the devs bringing up the fact that they are super conscious about how mental illnesses are real struggle for some people and making fun of it is not okay. Nothing the game says is that bad, just that it tends to have a bit of that american hamfist feel. Besides that, it's an okay game that has some struggles with pacing and tone-building. Worth playing if it looks like you might be into it.

>The first Psychonauts was borderline revolutionary
First Pyschonauts is some of the most overhyped shit ever. Everyone constantly masturbates about its style but nobody actually mentions the gameplay, which for a lot of levels was just not fun.

I thought gay Alcoholic and Putin expy levels were the best.

Is Raz and Lily's relationship acknowledged in some way or does the game just pretend their kiss never happened?

this is said this in my post, the artstyle and charm of the first game kinda overshadowed everything else because people didn't really anything like it, now we've all seen it, and psychonauts 2 is just a by the numbers mediocre easy platformer with a quirky artstyle, bad bosses, bad combat and easier than most licensed ps2 disney games

Yes, it's practically the driving force behind the central plotpoint.

It gets refrenced quite a bit yeah with the joke being that Raz wants to talk about it but due to the current situation he has to hold off for now.
I disagree because it has the charm and creativity of the first but with actual decent level design this time around.

I don't think it was so much that they were the best, more that every other mind besides one was just really forgettable.

aside from the zoomer newcomer kids, they are awful and uninteresting, and the one gay couple, there is basically nothing. the gay couple thing is barely mentioned aside from a scene or two.

>no obnoxious
>whole level with the gay cake
sure buddy

Yeah, the interns were lame. The only ones that had any real personality was Sam and Norma with Sam just being "Fuckable Doogle" and Norma being "Massive unlikable cunt".

1 was a stylish game with god tier writing and voice acting, but yeah pretty much everyone agrees that the gameplay sucked and it was basically a discount Rayman 2 with most abilities being super situational or outright worthless.

2 is a huge improvement gameplay wise, but also maybe too little too late, the game still kinda sucks compared to the latest Mario or even A Hat in Time.

Fuck off tranny

Raz feeling compelled to bring it up with Lily at inappropriate times is almost a running joke.

are you a bit retarded?

>level where you have timed cooking challenges
>level where you have to roll a big bowling ball around
>level about a ton of moving flying platforms
>level where the environment constantly shifting
>level where you sail a boat

>while the environments are different and unique
Wasn't it a step down from the first game in that practically every place in 2 is
>You're small and everything around you is big

You can't pick this dialog option, he gets embarrassed and stutters.

To be honest, I'm not really liking how they made him so beta. What with all the bullying/hazing he gets and all the characters that put him down. Was it like this in the original too? I don't remember.

only sad thing is it hardly won any awards despite having a shitload of diversity

Cassie and 1 part of Ford's level was like that but it's not at all the only thing. Besides, I'd take that every time over the montonous and slow Godzilla level from 1.

Collectathon 3D platformers are more niche than JRPGs. It did extremely well for its niche.

>A boss rush
I can't remember a single good boss. They're all tedious and boring.

He has a bully in 1 that he quickly overcomes.
Just like 2 really since the hazing only happens for a bit before he starts doing real shit and Norma is the only bitch that's jealous about it.

>and it was basically a discount Rayman 2
Rayman 2 was fucking terrible though
