1:31:52 "I'll have you know I have *several* neuroses" Well, a small child was able to induce a gambling addiction in her by connecting the right two brain cells, so that sounds about right
I 100%ed this game, here are some tips to help you not go insane: - your main 3 skills (that you should keep equipped at all times) are levitation, psi blast, and mental connection. mental connection gets used consistently in every level in the game. personally I tended to keep my fourth slot on telekinesis when I didn't need it for anything else (telekinesis is used frequently both in and out of combat and also throwing stuff is funny) - if, like me, you eventually decide that the combat is awful and you want it to die, there's an option in the settings (under accessibility) that like quarters the health of every enemy and it's the only way I'd recommend playing the late game - get the pin that makes psi blast deal more damage to censors. censors are the most common enemy type and they're the only enemy that doesn't have a weakness you can exploit for a quick kill, so turning psi blast into a "delete censor" button is very welcome - prioritize using intern credit to max the upgrades on psi blast and mental connection. psi blast max rank lets it take out multiple small enemies in one shot and mental connection max rank is mandatory for certain collectibles - if you want to have to grind the least for money, prioritize wallet upgrades first, then buy the mental tax pin (making mental connections gives cash) and the double money drop pins - when you get the projection power, there's a pin you can buy that muffles its voice lines - if you decide to go for 100%, wait until postgame. there are both mandatory and quality-of-life abilities that you only unlock past the point of no return
(I accidentally did my first playthrough in what I like to call 'unintentional hard mode' as I 1. Forgot the ability upgrade mechanic existed 2. Completely misunderstood what the half a brain did as I misread it as 'refills a whole brain of health' instead of 'adds a new brain', and thus didn't go out of my way to collect them so I had way fewer brains than I should've.)
One thing I like about psychonauts 2 in this regard is that it's very easy to platinum compared to other games, although at the end the game dosent have anything to help narrow down we're some last collectibles if you missed them. I had levitating, mental connection, psy blast, and pyrokinesis to burn objects for extra psytanium
My favorite part of this game is Augustus being a Good Dad. My man just wants to share something with his son, since Raz wasn't a huge fan of the circus.
3:28:44 "Pregnant raz dream" Is an official easter egg in the game with an animatic of pregnant raz being wheeled through a hospital animated by the adventure time creator. it's available post game in the maternity ward.
I can't watch the video now, but I really want to know what Jello's and others reaction to that would be. I don't care if they do it in the game or just search up the video, but I'm dying to see what they'd think.
I'm just now remembering-- I think part of the reason everyone is terrible to Raz is because there was SUPPOSED to be another power, "bottled emotions" which were supposed to let you hear the thoughts they weren't letting out, which included Dion's remorse for how he was treating Raz, and probably some other stuff. Still, really sucks that they removed that. they also removed the context for why Otto automatically takes a picture of Raz when he shows up in his underwear. 😬 The context is "He takes photographic memories when startled" but they removed the bit in the game where this gets explained, for some reason. So now Otto just seems SUPER SUS.
I love the teeth level because the dentist guy was originally also a psychic Quite a gifted one at that But then his parents screwed him up attempting to “fix” him so he can’t actually use his psychic abilities outside of a mind
I understand the kids at camp being more cynical and mean because they well are kids and Raz is the new kid who invaded the camp and came across as a show off from the opening scene. It also works because Raz had a slightly meaner edge to him with talking back or setting animals on fire. But here he's with a bunch of teens who bully him and extremely passive aggressive adults who apparently have no patience for a 10 year even though he's one of the most mature kids and extremely capable. I get that they wanted that similar vibe but it doesn't work with the power imbalance and Raz only reacting by being sad. I get having his siblings having an attitude and maybe some of the interns but not majority of the characters so far. At least the campers had some redeeming qualities or fun stories. Well I do like Sam but she did allow the bullying to happen.
I completely agree, and I also feel like they just brush over the bullying from the interns in an annoying way. With Bobby, they actually sort of showed that he has some issues of his own he’s coping with, but they also didn’t really try to excuse his actions. In this one the bullying just kinda happens. They don’t give them sympathetic reasons, and they get away with it and are forgiven without consequences, and then things just move on
Yeah, I just didn't talk to the interns at all after that, so it was really jarring when they finally came back in the main story and suddenly Raz and them are buddies when the last meaningful interaction they had was stealing his clothes and locking him in a closet.

I'm sure Jello Isn't going to see this comment, but I wanted to add on to what happened in the vr game. TBH the reason a lot of people liked it was because it delve deeper into Labotos mind/backstory. TLDR he was born a psychic but his parents gave him a lobotomy to get rid of them.
In my defense, the PSI Power wheel is really finicky. About 40% of the time when I bring it up it looks like I'm flicking back and forth over and over again and I swear to god I'm just holding the joystick completely still.
@@JelloPlaysVideoGames I love this game, but I'd not be surprised at all if it turns out the PC version doesn't account for the dead-zone on the control sticks in certain menus.
Having Jello and Gianni play this is great, Vixen is a bonus as I knew nothing of her prior to this. I wish they'd found the raz dream easter egg in the maternity section of the casino-hospital. I'm eagerly awaiting tuesdays stream now
Still find it hilarious how the end of the first game was like "Sorry kids that I stole your brains and tried to make them into WMD, my dad butchered my pet bunny when I was your age."
The entire psychonaut cast should be praising the lord for making Raz timid because god forbid someone who has been dragged through the dirt suddenly get psychic powers that puts them above normal people who've treaten him like shit
I mean she did successfully turn the man insane, I'm guessing based on the demonstrated maturity and sound mindedness displayed by the accepted interns and you know the ability to alter peoples personality at a whim, the ability to use psychic powers is more important than any personality flaws.
2:42:50 Do the words "shade always procs" mean anything to you Mr Blaber? Look at these pictures Jello one is of a passable bush as featured in a game that you claim to love the other is a blocking tree from that same game tell me which is which tic toc sir there is a time limit and a life on the line see here a poor little Heron depends on your answer. Yes I did re-watch the fire emblem play-through recently.
The 5th Spyro game was the reboot, A New Beginning, and I believe Elijah played the role for the whole reboot trilogy. I knew him from that game, Return of the King on XBox, and his cameo in Spy Kids 3 before I actually watched The Lord of the Rings.
LOL I guess I am the One person on earth who played Rhombus of Ruin. It's fine, but I really wish they'd made it available for non-VR players too because the story is good but nowhere NEAR good enough to justify getting VR. (I had it for other reasons).
I went and watched the "not on yt psychonauts playthrough" so I can jump into these recent stream vods and like. MAN. Actually felt so bummed out by the end of the video. Poor Raz... :(
(Talking about people telling him to stop [making jokes]) “What are you, a f***ing traffic light?!” Me: I am a road crew worker. This is my stop sign. 2:17:23
"Dr loboto is so hot" "yeah imma need you to put that away" The names legit seconds later "I think i hear emotional baggage near by" Damn game didn't need to call the guy out like that XD
Right? The game came out 16 years ago and famously has one of the hardest last levels in games lmao. LOTS of people probably skipped game 1. This as someone who has 100%ed both games more than once and played Rhombus of Ruin, I don't hold it against anyone for not playing Psychonauts 1 first. LOL.
so, I’m not sure if jello’s fully moved to Canada (so healthcare access might be iffy… and even then, y’know, the whole doctor thing) but like, if you have blood in your pee, you REALLY should get that checked out I know that the testers said it was probably fine, but I’m pretty sure that’s one of the things that needs a checkup, even if it’s only a small amount/you don’t have other symptoms (again, overseas healthcare is a whole other beast - and I’m coming at this from an NHS angle - so it might be way less simple to get checked out, but it’s at least worth mentioning)
If it hasn’t been said in the comments; this game was probably designed with a demographic younger than jello in mind. “It’s just for kids” is not a valid excuse for bad content. And writing something, thinking you know the audience when you don’t, often leads to these kinds of weird-bad ideas. I remember “Gross out” was getting kinda big before covid, and body parts and physiology make for easy “problem-solution” writing to go with “problem-solution” gameplay aimed at children. Taking away the fetish implications, what might a child or non gamer see? Maybe just “A really energetic and ugly puzzle solving game about spy’s”. Don’t let jello’s logic too ruin your enjoyment or justify your crusades. 😊
To no one's surprise, the inventor of meat circus is from the school of "liking meat (bacon) so much it's a defining trait of your personality counts as comedy"
YIPPPE PSYCHONAUTS 2!!!! Real!!! Hehe rhombus of ruin is such a silly thing to exist in canon. I’ve never played it but I’ve seen a couple playthroughs and those still made me dizzy lmao.
The only bad moment in the game is when Norma (Purple nerdy girl) is flirting(?) with Raz's dad. It was kinds weird and it made me dislike the character. Rest of the game is a 100/10 masterpiece.
i don't understand, why play psychonauts if you're gonna joke about skipping dialogue all the time???? why do you have this constant irritation towards the game???
Real question, and it has been said before why does Jello have contempt for literally everything? first hour in and *every* sentence he speaks is full of snark
you guys have to get a new bit, it doesn't work anymore after the isat streams that are entirely him gushing over how good that game is. I mean aside from pizza game jello hasn't said a single bad thing about pizza game, and I adore pizza game more than the world itself but that's definitely a game where you can find flaws. Watch the crow country streams or something, jello likes a significant amount of the games he plays. THIS GAME INCLUDED! he likes this game!! he thinks the casino is really cool!
literally at the 15 minute mark he's talking about how pretty the figments are and how much he likes them. i misremembered that being later in the stream, but nope! thats the first hour! did we watch the same stream??? literally what are you talking about!
@@Sam-Cain I mean…. He’s jello. I wouldn’t be surprised if that never stopped him (especially considering how much he complains about his sister) But yeah you’re probably right
God these new characters suck. Like, yeah, the first game had Raz join in as the new kid too, but even then the other campers were normal about it? Some liked him, most didn't care for him, and there were TWO (2) bullies. Sure, it's somewhat realistic that the whole class gangs up on the new kid, but it also makes me not care for these characters, unlike the ones from last game.
1:31:52 "I'll have you know I have *several* neuroses"
Well, a small child was able to induce a gambling addiction in her by connecting the right two brain cells, so that sounds about right
Besides the 2 agents, Ford, Raz’s dad and grandma, and two kids from camp, Raz has nobody in this world.
You mean Dogen and his girlfriend, Lili?
I 100%ed this game, here are some tips to help you not go insane:
- your main 3 skills (that you should keep equipped at all times) are levitation, psi blast, and mental connection. mental connection gets used consistently in every level in the game. personally I tended to keep my fourth slot on telekinesis when I didn't need it for anything else (telekinesis is used frequently both in and out of combat and also throwing stuff is funny)
- if, like me, you eventually decide that the combat is awful and you want it to die, there's an option in the settings (under accessibility) that like quarters the health of every enemy and it's the only way I'd recommend playing the late game
- get the pin that makes psi blast deal more damage to censors. censors are the most common enemy type and they're the only enemy that doesn't have a weakness you can exploit for a quick kill, so turning psi blast into a "delete censor" button is very welcome
- prioritize using intern credit to max the upgrades on psi blast and mental connection. psi blast max rank lets it take out multiple small enemies in one shot and mental connection max rank is mandatory for certain collectibles
- if you want to have to grind the least for money, prioritize wallet upgrades first, then buy the mental tax pin (making mental connections gives cash) and the double money drop pins
- when you get the projection power, there's a pin you can buy that muffles its voice lines
- if you decide to go for 100%, wait until postgame. there are both mandatory and quality-of-life abilities that you only unlock past the point of no return
(I accidentally did my first playthrough in what I like to call 'unintentional hard mode' as I
1. Forgot the ability upgrade mechanic existed
2. Completely misunderstood what the half a brain did as I misread it as 'refills a whole brain of health' instead of 'adds a new brain', and thus didn't go out of my way to collect them so I had way fewer brains than I should've.)
One thing I like about psychonauts 2 in this regard is that it's very easy to platinum compared to other games, although at the end the game dosent have anything to help narrow down we're some last collectibles if you missed them. I had levitating, mental connection, psy blast, and pyrokinesis to burn objects for extra psytanium
Actually, you can replace levitation with something else. In-game accessibility options allow you to use that power just by jumping.
@@mep15067Are you taking into account the Otto-shot filter that helps you find hidden collectibles?
My favorite part of this game is Augustus being a Good Dad.
My man just wants to share something with his son, since Raz wasn't a huge fan of the circus.
Also, let's not forget he saw how Raz views of him in his mind but a few days ago. He's probably overcompensating a little here.
3:28:44 "Pregnant raz dream" Is an official easter egg in the game with an animatic of pregnant raz being wheeled through a hospital animated by the adventure time creator. it's available post game in the maternity ward.

Jello is not beating the allegations that he's made of glass
4:36:31 iirc the original 'Christ You Are Extremely Fucking Selfish Die' comic was not the one with Bill and Mabel but the one with Madoka and Kyubey
I love the teeth level because the dentist guy was originally also a psychic
Quite a gifted one at that

Maybe part of being psychic is being really irritable? And as far as the kids in this game goes, they all have special-child syndrome.
I completely agree, and I also feel like they just brush over the bullying from the interns in an annoying way. With Bobby, they actually sort of showed that he has some issues of his own he’s coping with, but they also didn’t really try to excuse his actions. In this one the bullying just kinda happens.

Still find it hilarious how the end of the first game was like "Sorry kids that I stole your brains and tried to make them into WMD, my dad butchered my pet bunny when I was your age."
I think some of the line reads were off because a majority of the game was made during covid.
First release was in August 2021.

This was my first time seeing Gianni not in a meme capacity. is he meant to be a weird little guy?
I love this game to death, but yeah fr, the constant overlapping dialogue makes it hard to appreciate the writing, especially in a let’s play.
