If you still haven't played this awesome game yet now you have no excuse, it's on sale for just $2 on Steam. An amazing deal, I'm thinking about buying it even though I already own it for Xbox. Just thought I'd pass this along incase any of you guys are interested.

#2 Posted by EpicSteve (6113 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

It's a great game. I got it when it originally released.

#3 Posted by MasterOfPenguins_Zell (2092 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I don't have a PC but I might buy for when I do. ;__;

#4 Posted by General_D23 (1201 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Ugh, how can you say no to that? i already have a digital copy bought from XBL, but I've had to delete it until i can get a bigger harddrive....  
 
It's just 2 bucks...
#5 Edited by atomic_dumpling (2320 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Geez, that's tempting, but I picked up Beyond Good & Evil for five bucks instead. Personally, I just think it's the better rounded game when it comes down to the actual plot and gameplay. Or simply buy both, they are cheap enough. Makes me a little sad I sold my XBox two years ago.

#6 Posted by Snail (7824 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Bought it. Hope I like it. 
 
Seriously, I bought a game without knowing whether I'll like it or not. Only Steam could do such a thing.

#7 Posted by Radar (877 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Yes please!
 
Is there any issues with the PC version?

#8 Posted by WitchHunter_Z (882 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Guh... I so wish I had a way to buy things on steam, it's only £1 for my British account.

#9 Posted by TMThomsen (2046 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Uh, grabbin' it! Have no idea what the game is about, but I've heard it's good :P

#10 Posted by ShaunassNZ (2125 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I bought this and know nothing about it.

#11 Posted by cspiffo (859 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Played it when it was free on Gametap.  Still, this deal is too good to pass up.  Sold!

#12 Posted by Evilsbane (3894 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Anyone who hasn't played Psychonauts and gets this is in for a real surprise, its my favorite Tim game period it deserved to sell so much better.

This. I just bought it before I even read the thread. Saw the title on the front page, bought the game, then came back to the thread.
 
 
 
Seriously, guys. $2 might as well be free. I can't even eat lunch for that.

Yes I bought it and saw this.

I tried to play that game, and it has such high praise that I thought - surely, I will enjoy this. But each time I tried to play through that game, I lost interest really quick. I don't get why people think its so good. The farthest I got is where you meet the crazy doctor dude or whatever underground (the one you ride the mining cart to) and it never really took off for me.

#16 Posted by Snail (7824 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago
@ajamafalous: Hold on a sec, I bought it because it's Psychonauts. It's a classic that one must play, that much I know.
#17 Posted by Fallen189 (4751 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Enjoy the meat circus.

#18 Edited by ajamafalous (10588 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago
@Snail: Well, yeah, but that's the extent of what I know. I know it's highly praised, and you can't go wrong for $2.

the TRUTH has been uttered, ladies and gentlemen. two dollars for psychonauts is a hell of a deal, and in no way should it be passed up.
#20 Edited by PenguinDust (12092 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Yeah, I caved too.  $2 is the price of a Big Mac and this will stay with me longer than one of those.  Even if I only play it a couple of hours that's cheaper than even matinee movie prices.   Besides, if I have it in my games list, the likelihood that I will play it is better than my picking it up used somewhere else.

#21 Posted by DirrtyNinja (715 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago
Selling this game at $2 is disgusting. Deserves more than that.
#22 Posted by MrKlorox (11079 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Buy it. One of the best Steam deals ever.

#23 Posted by nukesniper (1301 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Bought. Thanks for the heads up GB community! Otherwise I would have spent that 2 bucks on something far less worthy. =)

#24 Posted by AlexB (1023 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Just bought it because of this thread. Complete impulse lol. Never got around to playing it, now that its only 2$ how can I not. That's like an entire game for the same price as a single DLC song in Rock Band lol.

#25 Posted by NoDeath (793 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I just bought it. I've been feeling guilty about not owning this game for years. Steam sure knows how to exploit it.

#26 Posted by GunnBjorn (2907 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I had Psychonauts for the original X-Box. 
But then i sold the system, including all the games. 
This is a wonderful opportunity to experience it once more. 
(In the process of ordering it)
#27 Posted by TheGreatGuero (9065 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Best deal ever.

Yeah, they need to put Beyond Good & Evil on sale for $2 next.  Too bad, they can't offer us Ico.  And, I thought only mothers knew how to exploit our guilt.  Steam has learned a few things I guess. 
#29 Posted by iam3green (14380 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

ill look into seeing how this game is.

Dude, it's already $5. Or you can try to buy that cheese that included game.
#31 Posted by Nikral (280 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I've been on the fence about this game, and as soon as I saw this post I jumped to steam and bought it.  I didn't even open the thread until after I started installing it, lol.  Thanks for the tip man!

Beyond Good & Evil is another one I have been on the fence on...
#34 Posted by hoseph1337 (27 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

As far as I know, it's free on Gametap, where I first played it.

#35 Posted by AndrewB (6867 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Games at a bottle of soda price...
 
I jumped on this the second I saw it. It'll probably be some time still before I have the chance to play it, though.

#36 Posted by wosifat (186 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Highly doubt my computer will run it, but it two dollars!  What's Steam's Policy on downloading a game you already bought?  As in, if you buy it on Xbox Live, you can download it however many times you need, but if it's not on the system you first downloaded it to, you need to be logged in to play it.

#37 Posted by MetalGearSunny (6747 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Great deal.

#39 Posted by SalazarCruz19 (87 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I'm gonna buy it... i finished  Psychonauts on the xbox about 3 months ago and loved it... for two bucks this game is a steal...One of the best games i have played in a long while...

#40 Posted by wolf_blitzer85 (5177 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Get it if you have never played this game before. Probably one of the best presented games as the game play can be a little janky at times, but everything else that makes up the game is amazing and I could not stop playing till it was beaten. Plus 2 DOLLARS!!!!!

#41 Posted by girdz (3339 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Or £1 for UK'ers. This is just an awesome deal, I've been meaning to get it for ages and this just pushed me over the age.

#42 Posted by SirOptimusPrime (1555 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Never played it, but I'm fiending some platforming/adventure play.  
 
Tim Schaffer, don't fail me now.

#44 Edited by WinterSnowblind (7350 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I felt that this, along with Beyond Good & Evil were extrodinarily overrated.  They're good games, but because of their poor sales, many people have hyped them to Godly status.  If they had sold well back when they were released..  they definitely wouldn't be recieving so much attention.
 
But again, good games, definitely worth checking out and impossible to pass up for £1.

#45 Posted by mrsmiley (795 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

Psychonauts was such a good game, it almost makes me sad to see it for $2. But at least now others can enjoy it. :)

#46 Posted by MauveForest (587 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I already owned it on cd, but two dollars is worth the hassle of not running off the cd. Man I am getting lazy:P

#47 Posted by Tarakun (225 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

I already have the retail version... 
 
Considering re-buying the Steam version just to have a digital copy.

#48 Posted by Kombat (2203 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

If you don't buy this at this price, you're a bad person.

#49 Posted by Dalai (6194 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago

And here I thought I was going to avoid buying games on Steam for the rest of the winter. 
 
Meh, it's $2... a fucking steal.

#50 Posted by AdMordem (422 posts) - 3 years, 3 months ago
@WitchHunter_Z: umm paypal? Or if you get off the internet once in a while, you find out that VISA now does a gift card. Works just like a credit card, put its prepaid. You just pop down to your bank/post office/choice of vendor, and grab yourself one of those badboys.
 
But I mean you already know this right? Like you could have easily googled a multitude of things to find this out, and instead you were here... giving a lame excuse for not buying Psychonauts. For shame.
 
@iam3green: For 2 bucks mate, your talking less financial risk than trying a new brand of soda. Take a risk.
